Talk:Ownership of Rangers F.C.

What is the need for this page? edit

There is already a page about the company that own the club and another page about the administration and liquidation of the company that previously ran the club. Surely no need for this page as all the information can be found on those two pages and the Rangers FC club page. Iainturnerisgod (talk) 14:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

this article will go into more details about the acutally ownership of the plc and its incorprationg of the club from bussiness to aocmpany so it bridges the gap from club ran asa bussiness, then becamea bussiness, then was sold over the years, (this would require a lot of work givign details of the previous owner of the club thorughout history) then it will go into david murray tenue and what went wrong ie big spending etc, how it becamea plc, selign to wthyte and what he got up to, then move onto how the club was trasnfer frot eh old company ot the enw one so giving mroe details, the company on only details about the company, the liqudioaiton one only details what happened in teh run up and trasnfer not anything abut how rangers was owned, plsu features article like man utd and arsenal hav one , the problem is hte article is a logn way from being a good stanadard i had to split out of the main ranger article so it can be summarised since it heaing for FAAndrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 14:39, 28 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

The company that ran the club? The club incorporated as a company in 1899. They were not separate, they were 1 entity. To suggest otherwise is misleading readers. I would suggest you go look at incorporation laws for clubs in Scotland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicEagle67 (talkcontribs) 16:40, 22 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

'The club is a separate but non-legal entity which continues notwithstanding transfer from one owner to another. Rangers Football Club therefore continue as before even though ownership has been transferred.' Part of Lord Nimmo Smith's judgement hopefully that clears it up for you.

Lord Nimmo Smith's inquiry was NOT to establish whether RFC 1872 were separate or not. His assessed that 'In Common Speech' Rangers FC can be viewed as an entity on it's own, however and more importantly he also stressed that his judgement was not being done under Statutory Scottish Law. That is a key element in all this. Lord Nimmo Smith would have been breaking Statutory Law himself by declaring Rangers FC a separate entity in Law hence his term 'In Common Speech'. Rangers FC were like it or lump it a legal entity called Rangers FC Limited. It actually states on this page that Sevco 'Bought Rangers FC'. What utter nonsense and plain wrong. Rangers FC or a 'Club' were not listed anywhere on the sale of assets purchase sheet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.96.87.138 (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

As I have pointed out in another page we rely on sources not on our opinions. Also I checked the page for Sevco bought Rangers FC and could not see it, could you highlight the specific section? BadSynergy (talk) 22:31, 22 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

The assets Sevco Scotland did not include Rangers FC if you know, as Rangers FC was the business that went into liquidation, it’s misguided pages like this that leave Wikipedia open to ridicule when pages like this are falsehoods.

Remove the words "including Rangers FC" Sevco did not buy Rangers football club. SFA Articles of Association prohibit sale of SFA membership in asset sale. Without SFA membership the assets cannot be declared a club. Furthermore Sevco applied to join SPL & SFL, had Sevco purchased Rangers FC then it Rangers FC would have a league to play In or at very least Rangers FC would apply for a league place. That fact Sevco applied shows they didn't buy Rangers FC. The only Rangers FC was the company that was registered with SFA, there's no other Rangers FC.
