Stifler Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 is the old club actually dead yet? It's in the process of being liquidated, it has no assists left though so in a sense yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Forgive my ignorance, but what is the status of Ibrox? I've read in this thread that it is likely to pass to the "Newco" - is that a freehold or a lease? Because if it's a freehold I can't imagine the creditors being too happy about all that prime real estate, an asset even, simply being given to someone who isn't a creditor...?

It's been sold to the newco along with Murray Park (the training ground) and the rights to the logos etc. I'm sure Rangers oldco held the freehold so that will be whats sold to the newco. So if Rangers do get relegated to Division 3 then they will still be playing at Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 and considering the entity that committed the acts is dead/nearly dead does it really matter at this stage As it's been said yes it does still matter. Players, agents etc are all still around, all the people involved in the dodgy deals, fraud, etc all need to be found and expelled from the game, they also need legal action taken against them. If we don't find his partners in crime then they will soon flock to another club which will go the same way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Rangers do get relegated to Division 3 then they will still be playing at Ibrox. See, that's the bit I don't get - why would the liquidator agree to that? They're legally obliged to get the best price possible on behalf of the creditor. They should have no obligation to the oldco OR the newco, only the creditors. None of whom will be happier getting even fewer pence in the pound because of a sweetheart deal. And given that HRMC are the biggest creditor, and they have proven to be (rightfully) bloody-minded, surely they can get an injunction on the sale of all assets if they feel they are being sold below market value?

Fuck off, it's not even a windup, they actually are planning on doing that. Sickening, won't be allowed, especially after what happened to Wimbledon.

Stifler Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Bury already released a statement saying it would never happen. I don't even think it would be allowed. Surely the rules put in place after Wimbledon turned into MK Dons would prevent it from ever happening, thats also before you even consider the fact that Bury would be left out of existence.

Shit if they do, start at the bottom, it's the only way. It will just be like Juventus were relegated to Serie B for match fixing, they just placed them into a league where they would easily win and they would be straight back.

J7 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Rangers hardly making more friends, not that they had many in the first place. This kind of stuff has happened in Scotland before though. Airdrie United buying Cydebank after Airdrionians went bust, and someone buying Meadowbank Thistle with the sole purpose of moving them to Livingston.

It's kind of different though when they are buying a club in another nation with a different FA, an FA that has put in place new rules to prevent franchising and relocations of football clubs.
