How to Punish NewCo

[Penfold]

And ESPN already pay for a tv deal without old firm games!

 

Wasn't a surprise to see Archie McPherson pushing the shite that football needs TV. What he really meant was he needs football to be on TV to stay in a job.

Does anyone know with THE Rangers being a Newco does the company have to change it's logo/badge? If so how can they be selling next seasons strips?

Maybe one for the liquidators to sort out. I love how they still have the same website as if nothing has changed.

well they say they want to "retain" mccoist so presumably they're the same club and liable for the same debt.

Would be funny if after spending their hard earned giro's on the new strip the liquidators come in and say thats not legal, new company so you can't have the same strip and logo as the old company.

That's a point, didn't Volkswagen get a bit of a shock when they bought Rolls Royce? They couldn't use the RR logo or name as it was sold to the Gas Turbine Division of Rolls Royce. Could be cool if someone bought the Rangers Badge and trademarks, making newco start from scratch!

I remember Fiorentina had to change their strip colour after going bust for some legal reason.

From Jim Spence:

 

"Aberdeen say season ticket sales on par with this time last year , but no figures given. St johnstone have sold around 200 season tickets."

 

"Dundee Utd season book sales currently around 1700. At end of June last year 4300 sold. Stephen Thompson meets fans reps tomorrow re Newco."

 

My arse.

[CtS]

Just means no fucker bought any last season either, albeit for completely different reasons.

[dave_min]

My arse.

 

Agreed.

 

I don't know a single person who's got one for next season.

[Mentorred]

Agreed.

 

I don't know a single person who's got one for next season.

 

My parents got theirs. 

[Tyrant]

Agreed.

 

I don't know a single person who's got one for next season.

 

 

I know 5 people that have. But I know of many more that haven't and who would normally have bought theirs by now. Myself included.

That stinks of club trying to make it look that there is no boycott to get waiveres to buy now before they vote Newco in.

Yip.

[mizer]

The above statement, boardroom reduction, Millers 6 figure wage gone, no new signings - all points to Wiggy voting yes and trying to hold on through the shit storm and avoid a (greater) financial crisis.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

There is no doubt it will be the fans fault.

[Tyrant]

Do we know if it will be a public ballot or not? I hope to fuck it is.

Real fans support the wig.

Nah, there have been too many quotes from Pittodrie about "Sporting integrity" being at the "forefront" of the decision I can't see AFC voting newco it.  It could effectively finish the Dons if he voted them in.

So two quotes?

 

And back at the fan meeting after hearts the boards words were there is a lot of financial implications, its not clear cut. Thankfully Johnstone of Killie opened his big hun mouth and said sporting integrity was not important.

They'll be thinking the same about not voting them in.

Q5 is badly worded.  There should be an option for I WILL give up on Scottish Football, rather than I have ALREADY given up on Scottish Football.

[capitalsharpie]

the one thing that Milne's tenure of the club is apparent for is that it has been spattered with many, many poor decision, often completely misjudging the thoughts and feelings of the fans. I dread to think that this may be one more of those short sighted, short term money comes first decisions

[Jute]

Chris Harvey on Twitter saying that if vote is up to Milne he will vote yes.
