49ers do what

People are focusing on Leeds far too much, it's been said multiple times, but Cavenagh is his own man and not involved with the 49ers or Leeds, while 49ers enterprise are involved with Cavenagh, it's not cut and dry that us and Leeds are owned by the same group.

The truth is, that we don't actually know that for sure. So it was entirely understandable that people were concerned that a Leeds fall in form could have adversely affected our takeover. I mean, it's the kinda thing that would happen to us.

As a matter of fact, I am led to believe that there is nothing in the English FA rules to stop us buying a small English league club, moving it to Ibrox and changing its name to Rangers FC and therefore being eligible to play in their league. You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.

On the question of dual ownership, if Leeds stay in the Premiership, we are effectively an after thought.

Financially yes but its actually a double scoop for the owners if we reach the league format in Europe again. Leeds wont be able to offer them European football in the near future unless they do a Nottingham Forest.

Only if you were following the Scottish Media tbh, typical scaremongering ah the deal might be falling through because of Leeds staying etc, never had any bearing.

 

Our ownership group is structured in a way, that although some of the same faces from Leeds & 49ers are involved, it's flagged by Cavenagh and his National Health whatever it was company.

 

American media has been better to read for staying informed on this. Scottish media even tried to drum up that it all banked on the Easdales too for example.

 

All nonsense.

 

Just enjoy what's about to happen folks.

I doubt they would allow a team to relocate out of England.

It would require a test case but as I say there is nothing technically in the rules.

Technically there is. Clubs need to be associated with a County FA to take part in a competition and a club based in Scotland wouldn't be, for example.

 

There's also the rule that "all Clubs shall have Grounds and headquarters situated in England, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man if applicable or Wales".

 

There are many other hurdles, such as needing a licence and permission needs to be sought to play against non-English teams.

Take your point but surely a clever lawyer might argue that Scotland is in a similar position to Wales? (That is a constituent member of the UK.)

I don't read any of our press, but it's not like we've not been burnt before. I am however an optimist in life, and concur with your summation.

Nope, I don't think any sort of lawyer would argue that, mate. Wales's inclusion isn't because it's a constituent member of the UK. 

 

The rules could presumably be rewritten, if required, but as they stand, it's a non-starter in terms of relocating an existing club.
