Possibly going to be named after an airline, as long as it isn't RyanAir, it has to be a good idea. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18385024
Rangers to examine player signings before exiting administration Rangers could attempt to sign new players before the club is officially out of administration. Charles Green is aiming to have a Company Voluntary Arrangement approved on Thursday, after which there is a 28-day cooling-off period. But SPL rules state that, with board approval, clubs in administration may replace players whose contracts expire. "If you are correct, that is an avenue open to the club," Green told BBC Scotland on Sunday. Rule 6.20 of the Scottish Premier League's regulations makes provision for signings being made in special circumstances by clubs who have suffered an insolvency event. While there is no guarantee the SPL board would approve any signings, with several players' contracts expiring, that could allow Rangers to use the rule to bring replacements in. If the CVA is approved, which is still the subject of dubiety, the cooling-off period would take Rangers to mid-July. The club had been banned from signing players for 12 months by a Scottish Football Association-appointed Judicial Panel, a decision upheld by an Appellate Tribunal but subsequently set aside by the Court of Session. The Appellate Tribunal must now decide what punishment to administer. Charles Green In the meantime, Green has confirmed he had told a supporters' meeting on Wednesday that he has a list of 19 target players drawn up, five of whom are involved at Euro 2012. And he says he has added £1.5m to the budget Ally McCoist and the administrators Duff & Phelps had been working to for next season. Green had also been examining the possibility, if Thursday's creditors' vote goes in favour of a CVA, of setting aside the 28-day cooling-off period, to allow a swifter exit from administration. But lawyers have advised that even if the two main creditors - HMRC and Ticketus - had been willing to agree to that, it would not be possible because other creditors had to be allowed the right to raise objections in that period and only a judge can bring the period of administration to an end. Of the money raised so far (£5.5m is lodged with the lawyers Taylor Wessing, as confirmed by Simon Shipperley of Duff and Phelps at the fans' meeting), £2m has come from Singaporean investors, £2m from another major investor, with the remainder split. Having closed the initial round of funding with £10m raised, Green says he will entertain a second round of investment with a maximum of £4m per investor. Green also referred to a £10m stadium-naming deal with "an airline investor or alternative". "I've been speaking to a number of people, some of whom are connected to our investors, some not," he added. "I've said all along, stadium-naming is an emotive issue, but whatever we do it would always be Ibrox Stadium." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18385024
First things first, lets get the club onto a sound financial condition eh All this talk about bringing Rino back and renaming Murray Park is good but its hardly at the top of the list of things that need done for us to challenge next season.
Personally, I don't know what all you so-called Prods are bitching about. Trev, I would have expected better from you. Please tell me what better option we have? Stop being a **** and play the white man. This has got **** all to do with my last paragraph, but as an old friend from 606 said, "I don't give a **** what happens, I'll still hate kaffliks". A terry's Chocolate Orange to the first non fenian that answers correctly.
Are we the only real Prods on this forum? The rest have gone ****ing soft. I might need to get some **** from Kirky to go and knock **** out of every ****(which would't be hard)in Lenzie?
Hmmm... I'm trying not to jump over this like the raging taig that I am - but it genuinely seems like the return of the moonbeams.
That may be so Mick, but **** me, what choice do I have, but, to beleive it? By laws of averages it has to be right one of these times. Also, there is too much Scottish Protestant money in the world for us to go bust. Blah Blah Blah, well why don't people put their money in now like what us kaffliks did? Because, we don't know what we are putting our money into!!
If this airline scheme doesn't take off, Green can always revert to the original idea of sharing the Ibrox Naming Rights : Orange (phones) and Walkers (crisps) Stadium.
Did you even mean the play on words about it taking off? Also, the Orange Walkers is older than the hills.
