It was still deemed illegal - you cannot hand out punishments that aren't in your rule book ... that is the bottom line - if you want to punish someone severely make sure you can hand that punishment out in the first place.

But had Rangers gone to CAS then the SFA could not enforce any embargo until after CAS had heard the case which would've taken months - the SFA wouldn't be able to apply it as a condition to the membership transfer.

It appears the embargo is one of two options - Green has the option of letting the appeal tribunal reconvene and apply a new punishment.

If the SFA had gotten their way and put newco in Div 1, would they be bringing all this up now? It seems to me that now that newco are consigned to Div 3, and won't be involved in any tv deal, that the SFA have decided to put the boot in and make an example of them. Perhaps, to dissuade any other SPL club from flirting with the idea that liquidation is the easy way out. Today certainly seems like a change of tone regarding newco compared to before the SFL vote.

If a court has ruld that the transfer embargo is illegal how can the SFA insist that Rangers agree to a transfer embargo? Is that not incitement to break the law?

It was illegal as a punishment. But as a condition of transference of membership, they can pretty much do as they please

I think the SFA had probably tried to do Rangers a favour by not suspending them in the first place but instead seen it blow up in their face.

Even if it's illegal? So if I want to get rid of the mother-in-law I make her murder a condition of someone joining my club?

It was only illegal because they gave a punishment that was not in the rule book. As a condition of membership they can pretty much say to newco that if they don't want to accept a ban then no membership. That leaves the choice to newco whether to accept it or not.

If Rangers are forced to accept a transfer embargo will they be able to field a team?

They would still be able to register under 19s. So, a team of kids. If this happens, the likelihood of newco Rangers running away with the Div 3 title are pretty slim.

If the Scottish third division is anything like minor league football in England, it will be inhabited by psychopaths for who the ball plays little part in the game. Some of these young kids could have a very short career.

what is the status of this new club?
'cos reading the last four pages, i have no ******* idea what it is!!!!!!

they don't have a name? (THE RANGERS? RANGERS FC NEWCO? WHATEVER THEY'RE BLOODY CALLED????)

they don't have a corporate identity!!!

and that donkey BHOY07 said they aren't even REGISTERED with the SFA still!!!!!

NO HISTORY will or can be transferred, only the morons think this happens!

the old management will be dealt with with all the problems associated ..... and the newco should not have any embargos put upon them ..... unless someone has something else!

I wonder if Doncaster's reluctance to talk about the TV deal and commercial contracts is because all or most parties have decided that their investments amount to peanuts anyway, so they're as well staying in?

The history is attached to the membership - without the membership SevCo Scotland have no claim to the history.

BTW how dare you insult donkeys.

Or Sky have told Doncaster to keep his trap shut.

Sky will not pull out and leave BT with direct access to the SPL tv rights.

Next summer Sky need the SPL rights otherwise BT will buy them and start attracting Scottish Sky subscribers.

a tad harsh dont you think?

I think some people need to step back, calm down and look at this calmly and with some sort of objectivity.

Looks like a which hunt to me, nothing more, nothing less.”

They deserve all they get. Fact.

Even if the transfer embargo was in place Rangers would still comfortably win the Third Division in my opinion. In fact, I think it'd be a waste of money for them to spend any sort of cash on established players this year anyway. It's hard to overstate just how poor the standard is down there.

Incidentally, the SFA are within their rights to impose a transfer embargo on NewCo as a condition of transferring Rangers' membership. They're also within their rights to demand that Charles Green dress up as a chicken and Ally McCoist sit in the dugout with a banana balanced on his head. Because...

Quote:
“16. It is not permissible for a member to transfer directly or indirectly its membership
of the Association to another member or to any other entity and any such transfer
or attempt to effect such a transfer is prohibited save as otherwise provided in
this Article 16. Any member desirous of transferring its membership to another
entity within its own administrative group for the purpose of internal solvent
reconstruction must apply to the Board for permission to effect such transfer, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any other application for
transfer of membership will be reviewed by the Board which will have complete
discretion to reject or to grant such application on such terms and conditions as
the Board may think fit
”

then how can they be able to play in any league under the SFA then???

As things stand, they can't. Which is why the SFA will be able to blackmail them into doing anything they want. At the moment, newco can't play anywhere. They have a place in the SFL, but that's conditional on getting membership of the SFA.
