basically Rangers will be back in the CL, so essentially its saying its okay for Ashely to deliberately avoid it with Newcastle, surely that's against the rules.

 

What if we qualified for the Europa and Rangers qualified for the CL and were dropped into the Europa?  I doubt we could both qualify for even different competitions without a potential conflict of interest.

 

Only one club could take part in a UEFA tournament and the higher profile tournament would take precedence.  So if Rangers qualified for the Champions League and we qualified for the Europa League, then Rangers would be allowed to play in the Champions League and we would not be allowed in the Europa League.  Therefore if Rangers later dropped into the Europa, it would not be a problem because we would not have been allowed entry in the first place.

 

If we both qualify for the Europa League, then the club with the higher co-efficient would be the club allowed in.  At present that would be us because our co-efficient is higher but one would assume once Rangers get back into the Champions League, their co-efficient would soon overtake ours.

 

 

 

 

Where's that from?

Article 3 reads exactly as Edwards says it does.

 

Article 3

 

Integrity of the competition

 

3.01 To ensure the integrity of the UEFA club competitions, the following criteria

apply:

a) no club participating in a UEFA club competition may, either directly or

indirectly:

i) hold or deal in the securities or shares of any other club participating in

a UEFA club competition, 5 5

ii) be a member of any other club participating in a UEFA club

competition,

iii) be involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management,

administration and/or sporting performance of any other club

participating in a UEFA club competition, or

iv) have any power whatsoever in the management, administration and/or

sporting performance of any other club participating in a UEFA club

competition;

 

b) no one may simultaneously be involved, either directly or indirectly, in any

capacity whatsoever in the management, administration and/or sporting

performance of more than one club participating in a UEFA club

competition;

 

c) no individual or legal entity may have control or influence over more than

one club participating in a UEFA club competition, such control or

influence being defined in this context as:

i) holding a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights;

ii) having the right to appoint or remove a majority of the members of the

administrative, management or supervisory body of the club;

iii) being a shareholder and alone controlling a majority of the

shareholders’ voting rights pursuant to an agreement entered into with

other shareholders of the club; or

iv) being able to exercise by any means a decisive influence in the

decision-making of the club.

 

3.02 If two or more clubs fail to meet the criteria aimed at ensuring the integrity of

the competition, only one of them may be admitted to a UEFA club

competition, in accordance with the following criteria (applicable in descending

order):

 

a) the club which qualifies on sporting merit for the more prestigious UEFA

club competition (i.e., in descending order: UEFA Champions League and

UEFA Europa League);

 

b) the club which has the highest priority access by virtue of its performance

in its top domestic league championship and as indicated in the 2012/13

access list (Annex Ia);

 

c) the club which has the best club coefficient ranking as established in

accordance with paragraph 9.02.

 

Clubs that are not admitted are replaced in accordance with paragraph 2.11.

:lol: How have the club proved Edwards was being factually inaccurate?

 

Presumably the use of 'UEFA have confirmed...', as if he had contacted them, which UEFA say he hasn't. I suspect they're banking on our supporters being so monumentally stupid that we'll just see a statement citing inaccuracies and assume the general gist of the story isn't true, which it is.

At least the club is finally acknowledging that Ashley is pretty much running the show at rangers by asking for uefa to speak on this matter. Edwards headline was ridiculous hyperbole but he just stared the facts. Reading into it again though it is highly unlikely this will occur till at least 2016/17 at the earliest and probably (hopefully) Ashley will have sold up by then if he is going forward with Rangers.

The fact the headline says "next season" when Rangers have no chance of being in Europe then is factually inaccurate. They even specifically cite the headline. The gist of the article is 100% true though.

 

Silver lining is maybe he really will f*** off 2 years from now.

They can qualify for europe via winning a cup, so they do have a chance.

Wasn't it noted earlier that they could be banned from Europe for a season or two, such is the dire state of their finances?
