What does The The Rangers football Club

HMRC
BDO
D&P
SFA
SPL
SFL
UEFA
FIFA

All state we are in fact the same club

Now we are expected to ignore this and take the word of a fan of the only club in Scotland ever caught evading tax.
If said poster (of the only team in Scotland ever caught evading tax) could offer some factual evidence backed up by any legal entity then it may be worth discussing.

Alternatively he could return and concentrate on the only club in Scotland ever caught stealing from nurses soldiers ..... oh and some orphans

Rangers didn't have to reapply for SFA membership. The SFA had to approve the change in ownership. Like I said, the SFA membership is the same as always. A new club would have had had to apply for a fresh membership.

And still they so on about a club they claim is different from their old rivals.

This has turned into a brilliant article just yet again reinforcing how Rangers are the same club.

Well played Littlebit!

Why did you not play in Europe?

Just to clear it up even more for you. Here is the opinion of Lord Nemo Smith, not that his opinion matter much either:-


"It is the Club, not its owner and operator, which plays in the League. Under Rule A7.1.1 the Club is bound to comply with all relevant rules. The Rules clearly contemplate the imposition of sanctions upon a Club, in distinction to a sanction imposed upon the owner or operator. That power must continue to apply even if the owner and operator at the time of breach of the Rules has ceased to be a member of the SPL and its undertaking has been transferred to another owner and operator. While there can be no question of subjecting the new owner and operator to sanctions, there are sanctions which could be imposed in terms of the Rules which are capable of affecting the Club as a continuing entity (even though not an entity with legal personality), and which thus might affect the interest of the new owner and operator in it."

===============================

Cause we dont have a euro licence. It was a combination to do with the accounts and the fact our legal entity didnt have the licence continuously for 3 years.

Nothing to do with us being a new club.

For your info, do you know other such things that breach this rule are :-

1. Changing your teams colours
2. Changing your corporate headquarters

Both of these breach the same rule, yet I think you would be daft for considering a club as 'new' because of them.

Charles green did not have an sfa license, thats why the the rangers football club were only his assets aka s evco.

Club 12 and the taxman had the license, airdrie united has clydebanks. Celtic,s is the same one as it has always has been, hence the reason the company was taken over during the season and celtic could play the same week.

Littlebit,

You seem to be struggling here a little.

You can admit you have been proven wrong if you like. Everyone knows we are the same club, you have just re-enforced it in everyones minds.

Gaz,

As did 150. FC Politehnica Timişoara, who died a year ago. Did they no pump you a while back?

They have just been legally resurrected retaining their history! <NEWCOSMILEY>

I'v never heard of Politehinca Timisoara, nor do I remember Celtic ever playing them. Must have been a long time ago.

My point is that Duke is claiming it's proof that The Rangers are the same club because they still have coefficent points for 12/13, but so do Unirea & Timisoara - it's only there for the countries coefficent purposes.

posted on 1/2/13

Gaz, so you admit that the uefa website not linking to rangers lends no weight to the false idea that rangers have lost their history?

posted on 1/2/13

To the OP:

If this is your argument, then answer the following:

You say 6 players left as free agents, This is completely untrue. Indeed the players CONTINUE to be registered under special circumstances as Rangers' players. This is one of the reasons that during the summer, Rangers were unable to sign any more over 23 year old players, as according to the SFA, we already had too many registered players, under their rules, for the SFL. These players INCLUDED those who at that time were already registered with other clubs.

So, moving on:

You say Rangers are not the same club. SFA, SPL, SFL, UEFA, FIFA, ECA and learned opinion says that in fact Rangers ARE the same club.

Indeed, the SFA membership which the club now holds is in fact the SAME membership previously held. It was transferred, per Mr Green's request.

And again - euro co-eff:

This can only be held by the club. THe fact that Rangers continue to have the co-eff from the past 5 seasons further debunks your argument.

So, now that you have had clear, unambiguous evidence from footballing & non footballing sources, all stating that Rangers are the same club, what sources do you have which say different?
