the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 By Chris McLaughlin Senior Football Reporter, BBC Scotland A stand-off over media rights and a possible stripping of titles threatens to scupper Rangers' hopes of Scottish Football Association membership. The SFA said on Friday that the new Rangers agreed to a transfer embargo in return for a license to play. BBC Scotland understands two obstacles remain before a deal can be agreed. Rangers want the Scottish Premier League to drop their investigation into dual contracts and the SPL want the SFL to hand over Rangers' media rights. There must be a five-way agreement between the SFA, SPL, Scottish Football League, old Rangers and new Rangers before any deal is ratified. Rangers crisis explained Rangers went into administration owing up to £134m to unsecured creditors and will eventually be liquidated As a result its registrations with the Scottish FA and Scottish Premier League were terminated Charles Green led a consortium which bought Rangers' assets for £5.5m The former Sheffield United chief executive is reforming Rangers as a new company But the 'newco' did not get the required votes for re-admittance to the SPL Instead, the new Rangers are due to start life in Division Three The SPL want an independent commission to rule on whether Rangers broke the rules during previous campaigns by paying players with so called side contracts. They are due to hand over their findings to that commission on 10 August. But Rangers fear an independent commission could strip them of titles and believe they have already been sufficiently punished. The Rangers manager Ally McCoist has already said that he will never accept the stripping of titles. It is understood the club will not sign up to the agreement with that threat hanging over them. However, the SPL are digging their heels in over media rights. It is believed broadcasters are not keen to sign up to an SPL deal without having the rights for Rangers in the Third Division. For that reason, the SPL want the SFL to hand over the rights for a price. They say that without the broadcasting deal in place, they cannot pay the SFL their annual £2m settlement fee that was agreed back in 1999 when the top clubs split from the league to form the SPL. But Rangers and the SFL want to hold onto the rights and all parties are currently at a stand-off. Talks will continue next week to try to find a solution but several parties involved believe a deal is a long way off. Rangers are due to play their first match against Brechin in the Ramsdens Cup next weekend but that match cannot go ahead without SFA membership. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,351 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Chris is simply putting 2 and 2 together without having any more facts than we acquired from the SFA and Rangers' statements. And he's still spinningt the lies with regards the club going to be liquidated. NB: How much wil the SFL get from the media deal without the SPL? If it is more than the 2m, why bother? The SFL 3 teams will get our money anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
