The fans have done nothing wrong. Had they known the tax payers were being ripped off during the glory years they (led by Sandy & John) would've stormed Ibrox demanding the resignation of Murray and the stripping of past titles won. The integrity of the fans should not be questioned.

No chance whatsoever of Newco 12 FC starting anywhere other than Div 3. The supporters in Scotland will not allow the SPL to sweep it under the carpet. Thousands not renewing season tickets until they see Newco put where they belong.

Clubs now being blackmailed into accepting Newco into the first division or a new spl2 will be set up in which Newco will invite others to join and where there is no chance of promotion from the current lower leagues.

not only that the div1 clubs will meet on tues and discuss rangers with the spl having a secret ballot on wed on the rangers application,so div 1 say yes/no  ,spl say ?? (lol)

this really is crazy stuff and not getting the print it deserves ,celtic will be bricking it that league restucture will end their cartel,the diddy teams will be in pieces at the thought of more snouts in the trough,"inegrity" and future survival will conflict to such
a degree that a real meltdown is on the cards
whats the chances of all the clubs voting no confidence in the spl/sfa ? 

anything could happen and lets see who the kamakazi clubs are who put "itegrity" above  self interest , celtic think they dont need to bark when they have dogs but those dogs feed at the trough  ,a secret ballot is for cowards ,lets hope "sporting integrity " scottish style wins the day and rangers fans can head to the 3rd div knowing that some good has come out from  these events which were not the fans making but events everyone wants to punish the fans for  ,events which are far from clear and events, ie BTC and EBT,s which are far from settled so just to remind everyone ,Rangers are being punished for going into admin ,-10 points ,1 year transfer ban ,admin ,liquidation,non re admittance and sent to div 3 . sounds fair to me . And a club who twice went into admin 1st time 23m debt and the  and 2nd time last year they settle up via a  cva with the taxman(who accepts ) 6p in the pound gets their place ,sounds about right .

"integrity".... rock on .

i hear the tgfitw are murmering about reduced priced season tickets

What Rangers have done is slightly beyond simply going into administration.

They don't have a leg to stand on.

why  is there a vote then ?
you have not read the rules ,speak as if you are an authority on them but dont know them
do you ?
if newco meant straight to div 3 what is all the fuss ,there would not be a vote .
its called a democratic process .
its called rules and really you should read the ****s before waffling bollocks .

What vote are you talking about? Even taking a vote on Sevco getting in the SPL is breaking the rules as they are out with the criteria required to get membership of the SPL.

The fuss is about everybody wanting to break the rules so that the SPL and their sychophants in the media can cheerlead Sevco being leapfrogged over the other 30 teams who are actually having to compete to get to the SPL and get direct entry in to the SPL when there is no reason why they should.

If there was any justice in the world all huns would've been Farepak customers.

Chairman Offers Clarification

Thu, Jun 28, 2012


Tweet
MALCOLM MURRAY, Chairman of The Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement today.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to clarify a number of issues that have added to the Club's difficulties this week.

"Events have triggered a frenzy of emotion around the Club to the point where the only people who stepped up to buy the Club and begin the long and arduous task of restoring and rebuilding Rangers are now being vilified by people who claim to have the interests of the Club at heart.



"This is deeply depressing and such factionalism can only undermine efforts to make Rangers once again the great sporting institution is has been for generations.

"As the new Board of Directors, we fully understand the anxiety of supporters given what has happened in the past and I wish to address all the key issues and present the facts of the matter.

League status

"The Executive Team are working tirelessly to resolve the issues with the SFA, SPL and SFL. We will update supporters as soon as possible and we understand a poll of supporters' opinions is about to be launched.

Financial position

"The Club is funded by the new owners and working capital is in place for the foreseeable future.Staff and players were paid this month as normal and will continue to be while the Club operates and functions normally.

"We are raising additional funds as we said that we would and the board are working to find a way to allow supporters the opportunity to invest.More details will be available in the near future."

"There is no doubt, however, that any boycott of season ticket sales can only harm the Club and the manager Ally McCoist and ultimately the supporters. Such action would only serve to help destroy the very institution that is so dear to us.

Investment

"As has been stated previously, a consortium of investment funds and individuals invested in the acquisition and funding of Rangers.

"The consortium includes, Zeus Capital, Chris Morgan, a UK-based businessman representing family trusts; Glenmuir, the renowned Scottish clothing company, Alessandro Celano of Blue Pitch Holdings, Jude Allen, Mazen Houssami, Elias Kaisar and Mr Jean Haddad.

"The provenance of all investments made in Rangers is being made now to the SFA and all directors of Rangers will be required to pass the SFA's fit and proper persons test. I also accepted the chairmanship of the Club on the basis that the highest standards of corporate governance would be implemented by the Board. The Board has also provided information to the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund.

"At the outset the investors agreed that Rangers would be a long-term strategic investment and there is no intention of selling the Club.

"That said, the Board is committed to broadening the investment base and from the outset made clear that no individual investor should own more than 10-15%. In the coming weeks we will be announcing details of how fans can invest in the Club and fan ownership is one of the cornerstones of our philosophy.

"Anyone with Rangers best interests at heart is welcome to invest or come and talk to us. Last year I attended the 50th anniversary of the London Rangers Supporters Club where John Brown was an excellent guest speaker. He has my number and, if he has investors, we welcome them and do not see why they have to be separate to our current long-term investors. All fans and potential investors should pull together in difficult times.

"It also remains our firm intention to re-list Rangers as a publicly quoted company on an appropriate stock exchange at the earliest opportunity.

Season tickets

"The Club has new banking facilities in place and, as stated a number of times previously, all season ticket money will only be used for the benefit of the Club and its operations. Further information for season ticket holders was published on the website last week which included details on payments.

"Rangers has a loyal and extensive season ticket holder base and we would urge all fans to renew their books. In this aspect, the ownership of the Club is irrelevant. Season ticket sales are the largest single source of income for the Club and only the Club and the team will suffer if it is withheld. The money does not go to Charles Green, Malcolm Murray or any investor - it goes to Rangers.

Asset ownership

"All the assets commonly associated with the football club - Ibrox, Murray Park, the Albion car park, staff, players etc - are the property of The Rangers Football Club, which at present is registered as Sevco Scotland Ltd until a name change is given formal approval.

"Sevco Scotland was formed to ensure that if the formation of a new company was required in the event of a CVA being rejected, then the Club's corporate entity would be a Scottish registered company as it has always been.

"For the avoidance of doubt, Craig Whyte has NO involvement with the Club, in Sevco, The Rangers Football Club or any other of the consortium members. Indeed, measures have been implemented to ensure that Mr Whyte could not return to the Club in any way which is in compliance with the SFA's ruling on his participation in Scottish football.

Players

"It was extremely disappointing that a number of players have chosen to leave the Club.

"It was disrespectful to everyone at Rangers and to the fans not to be honest about the financial gain they will receive in return for walking away from the Club that has supported them over many years.

"Let's be clear, the clauses they and their agents negotiated in return for the temporary wage cut during administration, would have enabled them to easily move on from Rangers with our blessing. Their actions have deprived the Club of significant transfer fee income.

"The rest of the staff at Ibrox and Murray Park have got on with the job asked of them and it is extremely encouraging to see other players who were due back at Murray Park today, arrive as planned.

"As a lifelong fan, I would personally like to thank those players and staff for their loyalty and commitment to the Club and I look forward to meeting the squad when they are all back from their holidays.

Summary

"The consortium that has purchased Rangers wishes to see  the Club restored and rebuilt. We want to see Rangers be great again.

"The consortium is not the villain of the piece, nor is Charles Green. They are the only people who stepped up to buy the Club.

"What happened under Craig Whyte was horrendous and should never be repeated and I will do everything in my power as Chairman to ensure it doesn't happen again.

"I have been a Rangers fan all my life and a season ticket holder for many years and accepted the position of Chairman with the sole aim of helping steer this great club back to a solid financial footing and future success on the pitch.

"The vicious and gratuitous blood lust of recent times must end not only for Rangers sake but for Scottish football too. Certain individuals must ask some searching questions of themselves as to what their true motives have been over the last few months and as to whether they really have the best interests at heart of the Club they claim to love and

A city boy who advises on takeovers? Watch out Dumbarton fans.... The Rangers want your place in the second tier one way or the other!

So in plain english that statement means-

We managed to scrape up this months wages.

We need fans to buy season tickets urgently to get some working cash.

We have no intention of selling the assets unless some mug gives us a nice juicy profit.

We were depending on selling the players now they have fukced us by walking away.

Are you hoping for anything in particular Shudda?
