You have a very high opinion of yourself for someone who gets humiliated so often. You probably get immune to all the insults with all the banter that must be flying over the CB radios.
Cool, this is an easy one. FIORENTINA: FROM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TO EXTINCTION BACK TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Having spent the majority of their existence in the top tier of Italian football, AC Fiorentina went from the heady highs of Champions League campaigns, Italian Cup wins and UEFA Cup finals, not to mention players such as Gabriel Batistuta and Rui Costa in the 1990s, to ceasing to exist by 2002. Owner Vitorrio Cecchi borrowed £20m from the club's coffers at the turn of the millennium to keep his other business interests afloat, but when he was unable to pay the player's wages in 2001/02, the problems mounted up. Fiorentina were relegated that season and, with debts of around £35m, the club went bankrupt and were refused a spot in Serie B. The old AC Fiorentina ceased to exist, but were refounded as Fiorentina 1926 Fiorentia, with a new badge and new club colours. This new club was admitted to the Italian fourth tier, which they won with a new team in 2003. Things got even better when, that summer, the club were controversially promoted to Serie B on "sporting merit", after financial problems at second tier side Cosenza meant the latter were thrown out of the division. Now under the ownership of wealthy businessman Diego Della Valle, the club bought back the right to use the name Fiorentina - although now as ACF Fiorentina - as well as their famous violet strip, and in 2004 gained promotion back to the top tier. It was a remarkable rise, but Fiorentina found themselves embroiled in yet another scandal when they were deducted 15 points for their part in the infamous 2006 Serie A match fixing scandal. This time they avoided relegation, going on to play in the 2008/09 and 2009/10 Champions League campaigns and fans of the Viola can only hope the next decade is more stable than the last. http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=52817/profile/index.html See how Fiorentina went out of existance, then bougt back their name (and with it their goodwill). Now check the Uefa website. It confirms they have kept their history throughout. Case closed.
Oh sorry, I never knew that question was directed at me. My name is John. I just assumed that given how thick you are, that you were actually asking one of your mates where it was in Scotland. Its in Italy mate. Thats the one that looks like the boot if you need to look it up. The Fiorentina case is important because it displays Uefa's stance on the attribution of history. They obviously side with me there.
Can someone tell me what Goodwill is? Apart from a Mauritian football team in North London. Preferably someone with an over inflated ego and a financial qualification of some sort?
Oh, right. It is just that given how thick I am and how smart you are, I didn't think you'd need to take the desperate step of bringing up Fiorentina. Because it is desperate isn't it?
No, not at all. Just demonstrates how a business can be phoenixed after extinction and still be recognised by the European governing body of football. Something that you disputed was possible! I think you will find thats fairly relevant to this discussion.
You haven't told me anything. Quite happy to repost ****e that has been debunked THREE times, but not tell me what goodwill is. Interesting. What a great day for me. Someone as thick as pig **** stumping someone so smart.
uh huh.... So you don't like to use it. Because all I'd have to do is to point out that insolvency laws are different in Italy and I'd get out of it. Does that mean I got out of it.... Or that you were so desperate that you brought it up in a discussion with someone as thick as pig ****? That must mean that I am the winner.....or that you are slightly thicker than pig ****?
What qualification do you have that made you so smart in just a couple of months since you thought Celtic began afresh in 1994? Were you stupid before that?
Celtic certainly did not start afresh in 1994! The previous company was incorporate into a PLC. Celtic still trade under their original company number. Got to stop reading Celtic Tax Case!

Intangible assets are defined as identifiable non-monetary assets that cannot be seen, touched or physically measured, which are created through time and/or effort and that are identifiable as a separate asset. There are two primary forms of intangibles - legal intangibles (such as trade secrets (e.g., customer lists), copyrights, patents, and trademarks) and competitive intangibles (such as knowledge activities (know-how, knowledge), collaboration activities, leverage activities, and structural activities). Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/intangible-asset#ixzz1rWd9Y7sN When you copied this quote from answers.com you missed out examples of what intangible assets are. I wonder why that was? Is it Rangers trade secrets we're talking about here? Maybe they've patented a new style of football? Walter Smith's 6-3-1 formation perhaps? Or does that come under know how? Rebel and others have pointed out that you were completely ignorant about such things as was highlighted by your nonsense about Celtic being a new company. Yet a few months later you claim to be an expert on the subject. That's some achievement. A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again. - Alexander Pope
Well Baldrick, I don't want to speak on behalf of anybody else but I can wait for my apology. You can give me mine after you have gone around to all the sites you have spammed to tell them that sadly, your research was wrong. If you wanted to tell them that it was not606 that put you right, that would be fine. The most stupid forum on the internet.
You don't want me to comment then (since I raised it and I'm convinced there's something underhand going on with this North London 'goodwill' connection)?
