Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

There is so much information regarding funding that should have been forthcoming from this meeting, that doesn't appeared to have been disclosed, one can only surmise that Green used the renaming initiative as a strategy to deflect RFFF's attention from the matters that count.

Believable11 Unbelievable2

If the Bears boycott season tickets Green would be forced out. Season ticket holders could then club together to buy Rangers~ 20,000 @ £750= £15m. Job done. Club owned by fans for the fans.

Believable7 Unbelievable5

And where would money come for wages, transfers etc.? That's assuming the £15m would go to a CVA and purchase.

Agree3 Disagree1

Creditors would get same deal as green,s. Where is Green getting additional funds= the fans. Cut out the middle man.

Agree3 Disagree3

You could even just Loan the money and get it all back.

Agree1 Disagree0

There is no CVA , HMRC cant write off millions of pounds , not for anyone .

Agree6 Disagree5

No4 you will be surprised at what HMRC can write off , what Rangers owe at present not including the BTC is but a drop in the ocean to these guys,anyone with a business brain would let a company survive and recoup lost revenue over time,regardless of what you think of EBTs I wonder what Rangers have put through the HRMC coffers through the history of the club through tax and vat but then again I'm a bluenose

Agree3 Disagree2

Not even vodafone and amazon and british airways, hmrc go with which way the wind is blowing doug t.s.o

I think you will get a 3 month suspension, all games awarded to opposition a 2-0 win, let's you start your campaign in November, still in with a chance of salvation but well and truly punished, anything less too soft. Would keep sky on board as it would generate excitement to see if you could scrape your way back, and minimise losses to the other clubs.

Believable2 Unbelievable10

Club's losing home fixture would have to be compensated.

Agree4 Disagree2

Again with this suspension crap.

What would be the point in suspending a club for a period of a season?

It would make more sense to just dock points at start of the campaign.

TTG

Agree5 Disagree1

Docking points is not an option available to the SFA.

Surely now rangers fans must have seen through Mr Green? To meet with a fans group and make his big pitch the re-naming of murray park is folly.He must know,as we all do,that rangers fans quite rightly want the murray name removed from the title,but to lump it into the season book = a vote scenario is desperate.This is the first real clue that this guy just does not have the funding in place for the job at hand.It is clear he needs the fans money to continue with the running costs while the much vaunted 8.5M is a loan payable,with interest,to himself and his investors.Buying a club with borrowed money,where have we seen that before?Was he not quoted as saying when he took over, rangers would never be in debt again? Seems debt to him and his group are exempt from this.Add to this the fact he can buy ibrox,murray park and the albion for 5.5M and he starts to make whyte look like a small time grifter.Between this and trying to return to blue knight investors for a cash investment is just laughable.This guy needs watched very closely.

Believable14 Unbelievable3

After watching the fans taken for a ride with murray and whyte it looks like mr green is trying the same thing.....if rangers fans fall for greens buy a season ticket to rename murray park card trick they seriously deserve all they get.

Cant wait for you eating humble pie bill 72....way its going be no new company playing football this on oming season,as even you must be by the denial stage and know liquidation looming and a cert....stevo

Believable9 Unbelievable8

Your probably right Stevo - things ain't looking good - but rather than run RFC down at every turn, and constantly predicting the next great extinction, (a moving date for liquidation since February!) - some ACTUAL facts might help your posts.
I am not blind to the facts as we know them and I am also acutely aware that the story is going to rumble on for a wee while yet - maybe into next season? But that doesn't stop me being a fan, supporter, season ticket holder (NOT to rename Auchenhowie btw!), shareholder and purveyor of numerous strips and pies!

We must hold onto the possibility that whatever happens RFC will survive - even in DIV3!

bil72

Agree2 Disagree2

The great extinction as you put it would have already happend bill,if it wasnt for whyte,as he used the non payement of tax,ni& vat to get rfc till end season!you seem an educated & level headed man.& must realise that no way will this shoddy CVA be accepted& rfc will no longer exist& a new entity will emerge as some newco called whatever that may be,the fans are being conned once again,yet will try to hang onto any glimmer of hope..stevo

Stevo, if whyte had put us into administration at the start of the year I'm not so sure we would be in such a mess, in fact I think we might have put that behind us by now, whyte was always gambling on champions league money which never came added with the new contracts handed out it snowballed, but look on the bright side it has saved you buying Viagra for the last 5 months , so every cloud :)

Good to see so many replies to my earlier post about buying season books and maybe getting back pence in the pound if things go wrong. I was not meaning to be nasty in any way to decent supporters of rangers. I was clearly letting all the so called legends know how it would feel to the normal man in the street how they would feel if it happened to them. Remember guys all these people like whyte and green and jardine all have money where the normal supporter does not have decent money to throw away. Just for the record i am not a fan of any club in the s p l

Hi guys seen as this is a rumours page /transfer page lets keep it this way. Im well we have a transfer ban but lets see who realisticly we could get?

I would be happy for these cheap/free singings

Rino Gattuso
Ian Black (bad reputation but good player tbbh)
Garry Oconnor

A few loans maybe?

I would get shot of Lafferty but dont know if our squad is strong enough without him?

Who do yous think is realistic?


Stego

Believable1 Unbelievable12

Don't fancy oconner, would rather have lovenkrands who has been released.

Agree5 Disagree1

IF and its a huge if we avoid a transfer ban I don't think we can buy anyone unless its cash up front. Don't blame them if they demand this, bosnans may be the only way forward. But let's see what the appeal brings.

Agree0 Disagree0

O'conner I wouldn't touch mate, the guy is a clown! I would take Rino back and id give Black a shot too. Id happily drive Lafferty to where ever he wanted to go!
Dmrangers

Agree6 Disagree1

Why are you all so keen to get rid of Lafferty all of a sudden?

i hope for the good of Scottish football that it has nothing to do with where he got married, it's pathetic.

Agree7 Disagree6

Black is a no no gents imo. He'll spend more of his time serving suspensions.

Agree0 Disagree0

#4 I couldn't even tell you where he got married mate, I just dont like the guys attitude. He should just concentrate on his football and stay out of the papers
Dmrangers

Agree2 Disagree2

Even if you have no transfer ban next season what team is going to "sell" you a player knowing full well your team do not pay up transfer fees, also no agent is going to recommend his player also knowing they might not get full wages..
Timalloy

Agree2 Disagree3

Nothing at all to do with him getting married (so stop stirring up stuff that doesn't exist) Lafferty has had a bit of an attitude recently nothing more nothing less.

Agree4 Disagree3

Gers could afford me. Probably best on the bench for first 86 mins being in the twilight of my career at 56. Would make a good target man as i'm hard to miss. Wages would be no problem, 2 grand a week and a crate of electric white. Only drawback would be own goals against celtic but ye'll be 5-0 down by 86 min so none of you will be there to see it.

Rangers in crisis: I don't know which league we will be playing in but I can't wait for season to start, says Ally McCoist

Ally keen to get a squad in training even if it's div3. That's the spirit. Div3 on a Newco is how we start again with our heads held high.

Believable15 Unbelievable6

Come on. Heads held high?

@1. Yes mate. Due to the fact that none of us Bears, players or management were to blame for anything thats happened.

Is the RFFF publishing accounts? Incidentally u need a license and charity status to use collection buckets in Scotland.
Is the RFFF a registered charity?
Was a license approved by Glasgow city council for all the collection buckets on each specific day?

Believable9 Unbelievable5

What's wrong? Are you lot running out of rumours to make up regarding Rangers yous have to turn to the RFFF and conjure up some lame rumour about them not having a licence.

You lot are pathetic. What next, David Murray has links with the Columbian drug cartel?

Comical!!

TTG

Agree6 Disagree6

If not...they must be a business and declaring this as income ....tax?

Agree8 Disagree4

It's highly illegal to collect money in the UK unless you're a registered charity with Companies House Edinburgh.
You then come under all the charity regulations, the charity commission and have to publish certified accounts.
Some charities only turn £5k per year, rangers have pulled in over £500k.
The RFFF are not undertaking the activities of a charity and would not get charity status. Paying for QCs or turf doesn't qualify.

Agree4 Disagree0

1)
Your right TTG, smells a bit of desperation, running out of ideas maybe?

bil72

Agree0 Disagree4

Well what ive heard from my mate who is a season ticket holder at ibrox is he contacted RFFF & said he would be happy to give a weeks wage to them but was told to wait the now we will contact you about getting it from you but we need it but dont want it just now (or something along those lines end of the day they didnt want his money at that point ?)

lenny

Agree2 Disagree2

Collecting money is strictly licensed between specific hours on specific days for a specific number of tins/ buckets at specified locations.

This is how authorities stop numerous charities operating on same days at same times and locations.

Its just one of those hiatus moments you get when yer having a good laugh. The comedy will be back to scratch soon, youll see.

Heard a few rumours that green has been begging the blue knights to help out by putting up cash! Another one is that white was due in court today but never turned up!

Believable11 Unbelievable4

If Whyte doesn't pay his SFA fine by next week, SFA will take it out on Rangers.
Rangers also have a week to pay the £160k fine.

A scenario;

Gers are sent to the 3rd division.

Other 11 clubs vote in changes to the voting structure.

IMO one of the next votes by the 11, would be to change to shared gate receipts.

There is after all nothing stopping them.

This would be taken to court of session ;)

The CVA seems a bit of a smokescreen to me. The ausited accounted are due to be presented to the SPL on 15th June. Yet according to D&P's CVA proposal the directors have not signed off on a Statement of Affairs (similar to a Balance Sheet). Why would the current directors sign off audited accounts if they are no longer going to be involved? If I was Whyte I wouldn't as there will be a lot of disclosure notes which he would have to agree to. I can't see new directors being appointed in time and in any event they would need a lot of time to go through the accounts as they would be taking on a lot of responsiblity in signing off accounts for last year.

Rangers will need to ask the SPL to extend the deadline again if a CVA is successful. Suspect that this will kill any CVA as I can't see accounts being produced and signed off. That leaves a Newco or liquidation. If a Newco is agreed without a CVA then Rangers could still be in the SPL but with heavy penalties, if what happened to English clubs is anything to go by.

Interesting if Green can persuade the RFFF today if he has any money to invest in Rangers after the CVA/Newco.

Pessimistic about all this

Believable7 Unbelievable3

A new company means liquidation of the club to date and no history.
No accounts means a second year out of Europe.

Agree5 Disagree3

Newco is OK as it buys the club complete with history and free of debts. It's only when the club has to start up afresh or via a reverse takeover that the history disappears (as per Airdrie, which is really Clydebank).

Agree1 Disagree3

If u buy a season ticket green let u vote for a new name of murray park,,,,,stevo

All Scottish teams to be banned from UEFA and FIFA

STATUTE 13/1G and 13/3 are to be implemented to the maximum penalty so much for the experts on here who were spinning their speel that UEFA wouldnt take action against other clubs read the rules and weep big brother (FIFA)has spoken and there is no possible defense

Believable4 Unbelievable12

This is why the SFA have to hammer rangers.If they dont,every club that has qualified for europe will sue them for loss of revenue,and they will win, because they were easy on rangers and invented a penalty rather than expell them(which was in the rules).If the SFA punish rangers to a level UEFA see fit,there will be no action against other clubs as it had nothing to do with them

Agree10 Disagree5

@ 1),

Stop with the whole expelled crap. The panel deemed expulsion too severe, they would have expelled Rangers if they thought otherwise.

What is it about this you lot don't understand?

@2: could still happen - they could deem it the best punishment available as the embargo has been ruled out.

Heres my suggestion to deal with the issues realting to Rangers.

For SFA issues, a three year ban from the Scottish Cup, and no allowance to take the place league place in any European tournaments should Rangers fail to win a euro place through actual league performance in the league.

For EBT issues, loss of any tainted leagues titles or cup wins related to players involved with EBTs, and a three year ban from playing the in Scottish League Cup.

The penalties would be most finacial as Rangers would lose the income from a mimimun 6 shared ground attendances, and all participation and tv rights.

Your views Hector fans.

Believable4 Unbelievable13

OP let me translate your post for the bears

For SFA issues - please please ban big bad rangers from the FA cup to help selik win a treble and ban them from europe so we can sing nae huns in europe

For EBT issues - please please take away their titles so selik are not so far behind and the huns canny say they are the most successful domestic team in the world and please please ban them fae the league cup to help selik win a treble

Yet another desperado timmy, do you not also want the SPL to take 10 points a year off the gers as well to help you win two or three in a row

JG

Agree11 Disagree8

And heres my suggestion to you wouldnt you be happy for your team to actualy fight and earn the league each year or are you just interested in numbers of wins no matter what?.....mark.

Agree6 Disagree0

U having a laugh mate? Dunfermline got banned from the Scottish cup for handing in a wrong team sheet! they r not relevant sanctions! If they r found guilty off the duel contracts all there titles should be taken off them they won in that period as they were gaining an unfair advantage over all the other clubs! In other words Cheating! A 3 year ban from the Scottish cup just won't wash mate!

Agree8 Disagree6

1# Okay then jg,what do you think is a suitable punishment? Bearing in mind the SFA could have expelled you from the association

Agree3 Disagree2

Orginal Poster here.

Well Hector fans, you don't like anything that is fair but would safe your cheating teams history, and allow you to continue
playing football.

Ok, lets now hope the the SFA screw you to the wall, expelled for 3 seasons, how does that now suit you.

Agree4 Disagree3

Yes but Dunfermline got re-instated, better not mention that as it doesnt help your arguement.

Agree2 Disagree1

There's no point in effectively banning a company thats in trouble from trading (transfer ban) or fining a company that has no money. A fair punishment in my view would be a 25 points deduction for next season, 10 points for the following season and further penalties if future conduct does not improve. Also a big if but a percentage of any funds gained from qualification for Europe must be paid to creditors.

Agree2 Disagree3

How does this sound for a fit and proper punishment ....no league money till all debts cleared no tv money till all debts clear no European money till all debts clear....get the point PAY YOUR DEBTS

then no one has a problem with your club

hail hail

If FIFA and uefa ban rangers from their competitions does that mean we can still play glamour friendlys or not?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Glamour friendlies? Are you for real? We won't have any players!

Can you imagine any agent letting his player stay with a club that can only play friendlies? Friendlies (even if we can play them) won't pay the weekly bills.

Agree3 Disagree0

Why does it matter? We won't have a team, what player in his right mind stays at a club that only plays friendly games? Some people talk utter crap on here

Agree3 Disagree0

Banning rangers in Scottish cup or league cup just makes them stronger fresher in SPL against clubs in all three tournaments inc SPL.

Agree0 Disagree1

1@2 what a pair of smart arses. The point I was trying to make was simple, but I dumb it down a bit for you two. The sfa won't expel us, but FIFA and uefa will ban us fro Europe so can we play glamour friendlys instead as we have in the past when we have been knocked out of Europe early. Hope this is simple enough for you to understand. Also agents would let their players play anywhere as long as it makes them money.
