pete 2,499 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just listened to Mark Dingwall's interview on talkSPORT and he said that he doesn't think Miller's proposal would be legal. He's also now reverted back to the stance that it's The Blue Knights or liquidation. Interesting claim considering that The Blue Knights don't have a bid on the table and don't yet have the means to put a good bid on the table either. Surely Miller will have checked to see if his plan is legal or not? It does seem that Ticketus is the main thorn in our side, I think he is probably right about not excepting 1 or 2 pence in the pound. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,770 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If we are to believe what has been said today, by both Miller and D&P, then Dingwall is correct. If TBK don't get preferred bidder status, we will be liquidated next week. There is no way that the footballing authorities could give written guarantees that there would be no sanctions against us. That would see the end of Miller's involvement. Is it really expecting too much for the SFA to make it clear what their intentions are?,these new rules should not apply to Rangers,or any other club that is in administration. We went into administration under existing rules/laws and we should be allowed to exit administration under the same rules/laws,any new rules/laws that are put in place should apply to the next club that goes into administration in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new rules are for the SPL, not the SFA. If we exit administration before the start of next season we will not be given any further penalty. Liquidation will bring separate sanctions depending on when it happened. As things stand, we would go to the third division if it happens before April 30. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate. How can they punish us with rules that didn't exist before our insolvency event. It's a witch hunt! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RFFF was set up to provide the administrators with an emergency fund whereby they can ask for X amount of cash should they have a shortfall to keep the club running and if push comes to shove the RFFF will need to appeal to the fans to dig deep in order to save the club from liquidation. If the administrators don't use that option to save the club and instead just pull the plug on Rangers, then they should be hung, drawn and quartered by their industry. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Surely Miller will have checked to see if his plan is legal or not? You would like to think so, but you never know. There's plenty of things that are legal in the US and other countries that aren't legal in the UK. I'm really not positive what the script is in the case of Miller's proposal because I don't think there's a precedent for it with another football club in the UK having done the same or similar. What I do know is that Leeds Utd exited administration without obtaining a CVA and continued as they were with only a points penalty to deal with because they were sanctioned for exiting administration without a CVA. It would leave a bad taste in the mouth and taint our reputation for a while, but if it's a last resort I'd rather see us screwing our creditors than being completely liquidated and starting from nothing.

Unfortunately there's already precedents on that one Ian because back in 2004 when the rules were changed so that a club going into administration gets a 10 point penalty Motherwell and Dundee were already in administration at the time of the rule changes. They were told that they had until the end of the season to exit administration or they would start the following season with -10 points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Actually, it might have been the beginning of the following season that Motherwell and Dundee were given as a deadline for exiting administration, I can't remember off hand, but the point still stands that the rules were changed while those clubs were in administration and if they hadn't met the deadline for exiting admin they would have been given a points penalty under the new rules. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. When i bought my medical insurance we had to wait 50 days for it to kick in to make sure were werent “at it” It’s the same principle with these rules. They should come in in a year to give teams time to sort their shit out. These rules are solely aimed at rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
