It would appear that someone in the Beeb is rather off message on matters Sevco.
It just won’t do that they accurately report the legal reality that Sevco Scotland Limited is not Rangers Football Club (est. 1872).
Of course whoever filed this copy is entirely correct.
However, I had thought that there was an agreed narrative in the Scottish mainstream media that they all bought into the cosy fiction that Rangers did not go onto death row when the CVA was refused last June and the current Ibrox outfit is the real deal.
Apparently not:
“Shareholders in the old Rangers subsequently gave their approval for Sevco to change its name to The Rangers Football Club Limited.
“The old club, which remained in administration, has since been known as RFC 2012.
“The new club, started by Mr Green’s consortium, began life in the Scottish Third Division.”
The Administrator Paul Clark referred to the current Rangers as “…a completely separate entity”.
I am glad that the truth is dripping out slowly.
It is possible to get good information out of Pacific Quay now and again.
No, honestly…

here is your problem my simple rangers daft celtic fans.rangers plc shareholders which formally owned rangers football club 1872 which was then sold to sevco.they then had to get permission for sevco(holding co just like the old rfc plc)to change its name to therfc as it bore a close resemblence to the old holding companies name which went bust.so the football club is and always will be rfc ohh how you much you cant handle the truth.the reason on all your fan sites u talk about us the truth is…you just cant get enough…why not just admit it and come to ibrox join the full houses and support the team yous care so much about.all together now!

55 titles by the end of season for Rangers,then 56 then 57 then Rangers will be challenging celtic for 58! Rangers will always be RANGERS, try to grasp that silly boys. Rangers will be Rangers worldwide forever unless you are a small minded celtic fan with nothing happening in your empty life.Rangers fans are having the time of their life, what is the problem with you guys? are you missing us?

You are delusional. You need professional help. Oh aye totally green wi envy. I would love Celtic to play in the 3 rd division. You have no class.

Just read Traynor’s rant in the Daily Rangers online – I won’t buy that rag piece of rubbish but it gives me a chuckle (now I’ve learned not to get wound up by it all !)
Talk about burying your head in the sand!!

Phil, have you considered sending a story line to Hanna Barbera?
I see a Scooby Doo Special on the horizon, with your good self, CelticQuickNews, RangersTaxCase, and Alex Thomson in the roles of the pesky detectives/investigators (not sure which of you would play Scooby or Daphne though).
It would end with SDM getting his collar felt by Plod, and the old corrupt fairground (which promised excitement off the radar) would be left abandoned and derelict, a monument to greed, cheating, and hubris.
I love happy endings:)

Cant wait for tomorrows online editions ,wonder how many will have the cajones to report the actual story?Will have to invest in some Tenna Lady shares if Chico keeps getting airtime.He didn’t actaually deny any of Craigie Bhoys revelations he just managed to deflect and detract didnt take him long to get in the swing of doing things the WRangers way.

I’ve just reread that post. It sounds a bit begrudging about the interview. Not intended. A great coup for the man who foretold it, a small step towards rehab for BBC Scotland.

Does constantly stating that “Rangers don’t exist” actually change anything?
They’ve got the same name, same badge, same stadium, same training ground, same fans, same management team, same players (some of them anyway), same trophy room, same songs.
I mean, what has actually changed in the eyes of the average football fan? The paperwork?
When Rangers/The Rangers finally work their way back up to the SPL and they face Celtic for the (supposed) first time…will anything actually be different?

What changed is that the erstwhile ***gers fans, now the Sevco loyal, hate the idea but will never be able or allowed to forget it.
Like the guy who genuinely believes he is Elvis reincarnated and turns up in the jumpsuit with the sideburns and the quiff, but everyone just pisses themselves laughing…
Rangers have left the building.

CMcG asked some questions of a man whom the people dislike. Having dipped his toes, maybe he’ll go on to ask tough questions of C. Green, whom the people now like.
I thought that the reporter having opened up CW’s relationship with Green for some reason let it go at that. Some deeper questions on that relationship were called for right then.
It’s plugged as the full interview, yet there were signs in there of editing, unless I’m imagining it.

I would have thought a simple question should have been asked of White, While he was in a talkative mood, has he and KING and Tickutus still got, claims and shares in the new, AND Old Club.

Just had a wee look at one of the Sevconian websites. Even now the denials continue – “we are still Rangers” and “it doesnt matter if Green knew / met Whyte” because the greater good of the business was more important that speaking the truth.
The paranoia levels are going off the scale tonight – its Lawwell’s fault, its a Tim conspiracy, the BBC cant be trusted, its some guy called Phil with 3 names fault.
They truly are comedy gold.

Hi Phil, I’m a bit confused– Shareholders in the old Rangers subsequently gave their approval for Sevco to change its name to The Rangers Football Club Limited…. The old club, which remained in administration, has since been known as RFC 2012.
Why would the old shareholders have to give their approval, or is this the same as giving permission, to use the name Rangers in their new title?
And why are they called RFC 2012, ? why not Rangers Football Club 1872/3? Is this some flanking move to say RFC 1872/3 never ever died!!!!

“A completely separate entity” So there, its out, what we all knew, RFC are no more. Chico’s mob can call themselves what they like,as the man says, “it’s life Jim, but not as we know it”

Mr Whyte has very conveniently set-up an opportunity to bury the liquidation from grabbing headlines – didn’t get a mention on the news, so Joe Public will be none the wiser concerning the ‘completely separate entity’ quotes.

That’s the biggest thing that annoys me about the whole episode. Misreporting the facts. They are all guilty..but the the truth will come out. It has to. The MSM are just all going to look like fools or liars. In my opinion,BOTH…the stark reality should hit the Klan very soon…

How can they say its a new entity but they continued as a business?
Which leads to another question regards D&P role; should it not have been to get the best deal for creditors as opposed to ensure the club continues? I really don’t know.

With the benefit of hindsight, I am seriously beginning to question the morals of some of these people. You might think none of them cared about Sevco (or whatever they are called this week) other than as a cash cow.
On the money again, Phil! Keep it up.
