It's good to see that the SPL clubs managed to hold it together and not give the Newco idea the red carpet back into the top flight.
I suspect that the wee clubs will just be angling for a money-for-entry deal but considering the pant-soiling that was going around at the prospect of losing the evil empire I think this is a decent result.
It has been fun watching the parade of optimistic fantasies from Ibrox being crushed, here's hoping that the CVA with no financial details and the back-door sale of the assets are next up on the chopping block.

I'm not convinced voting it down is a good idea. Say a Newco applies to join the SPL. SPL takes a decision to allow them in but with certain conditions. The Newco than accepts them but goes to court on the basis that there's no specific punishment within SPL rules as regards a NewCo and, understandably so, believe it is 'ultra vires' and outwith the SPL competency to impose sanctions that are not specified. In other words the same as Rangers did with the SFA yesterday. The SPL decision would surely be tha same in that they can't impose punishments that are not clearly written and codified prior to the infirngement/newco application?!.

I would think that
A) The option of going to civil courts will be off the table shortly.
B) A decent lawyer could write that into the conditions of re-entry if such a thing was agreed.
As much as I would like to see liquidation mean the end of the club, many of the wee clubs are desperate to cave into the game of chicken from Rangers and this is probably as good as we're going to get in terms of appropriate punishment.

Has anyone seen the details of what the proposal was? I haven't seen that around anywhere.

As much as I am laughing at the Orcs it's a scandal that FIFA, UEFA, SFA etc think they can be cocooned against the law. Everyone has the right to legal recourse and just because it's in football that shouldn't be removed. Had the SFA been competent-stop lauhging at the back-they could have written a transfer embargo into the sanctions as a specific punishment. They didn't because they are incompetent and as such the judge was right, imho, to agree with Rangers appeal.

I would agree with that up to a point. The bosman ruling for example was appropriate because the rules interfered with ordinary people's ability to make a living. However, professional sports has become an industry where people are more likely to go to court to defend their right to absurd amounts of wealth.
The remit of FIFA and UEFA is to defend the integrity of the game (well, sort of
) and it's appropriate that they should reserve the right to defend it against the influx of millionaires and their teams of lawyers. Certainly the recent history of Rangers should be a good warning of what some cynical bastards will do to try to get ahead.
Also, membership of FIFA / UEFA should be thought of as conditional on accepting it's rules. If Rangers FC wanted to withdraw from the SPL and SFA, never attempt to compete in Europe and try to make money playing local amateur teams then nobody could stop them. Equally, if the SFA decided that letting Rangers get away with murder is more important than fielding a team in international competitions then that would be their right too. But if they want access to the pot of gold then they have to accept the rules these bodies create.

Drama queen alert. Getting away with murder ? Dry your eyes doll.

Awesome. The world's most inept pedant is now turning his razor sharp mind to policing run-of-the-mill metaphors.

In which case I apologise for my previous statement. Your only crimes are following a club which harbored paedophiles and using bigoted language such as 'hun'. Well done you.

I mean Rangers supporter. Always have done & always will do. Im a Scottish Protestant, born & raised in Glasgow. Went to CoS Sunday School, non dom Primary & Secondary schools & was in the Boys Brigade for many years. If youre meaning what i think youre meaning then surely all that makes me a Hun too. Only thing missing is i dont support Rangers.

What a confused individual you are.
It doesn't change the meaning of the word though. I'm sure you are well aware that 'hun' is used by the filth that follow your team to apply to more than just Rangers supporters.

How am i confused?
Hun is also used by followers of every other team in Scotland to describe Rangers fans. Whats happening here is that its you Huns who are trying to change the meaning of the word.

Followers of other Scottish clubs also describe Celtic fans under various names I could mention. No doubt you will be telling us they are different though. Always the victim.

Xenophobia-tinged triumphalism to poor sensitive wee soul in 5 seconds flat. Amazing!

I know you're new here so you're probably still learning you way about. I hope you will not therefore take it amiss when I point out this is a thread about rangers and not about the scottish champions.Followers of other Scottish clubs also describe Celtic fans under various names I could mention.

It's not a very good job then, he has the exact same posting style as anchorage.

And only one of them is online at the moment. Hmm
double bluff
Tbf on rangers fansites everyone seems to have the same posting style
I put him on ignore because I've had all these arguments with anchorage already about if 'hun' is sectarian etc etc and I cba repeating them with someone identical. Life's too short.

True, i have a wee look at RangersMedia every now and again & the bile on there is an eye opener.
I'll probably do the same soon enough with the ignore. I do it with anchorage every now & again but curiosity as to what shite is being posted gets the better of me.
RangersMedia is beyond parody. It has been funny watching their collective meltdown over the past few months, but sometimes the levels of stupidity and bigotry I find sad rather than funny.
