uttoxram75 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Sounds like the Rangers chairman means business......... Charles Green has claimed stopping Scottish heavyweights Rangers playing in England is a breach of European law. "I would be delighted to be the chief executive of Rangers that took them into the English league," said Green, chief executive of the controversial Glasgow club that's starting again in Scotland's third division after financial meltdown. "We are going to pursue it. We've sought legal advice. "I've had enough indications that Scottish football don't like us and don't want Rangers, so I look at other options. "I have taken legal counsel, because let's be clear: it is a breach of European competition law to deny Scottish clubs, not just Rangers, the right to play in England. "That is against European law. "I don't believe that the authorities would stand back and try to ignore that position." Green added on talkSPORT: "You just try and explain to me why a Welsh club can play in the English league but a Scottish club can't.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea ram Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Welsh clubs have played there for over 100 years. If they do accept Rangers, then they should start at step 9, and work their way up. Then we'll see how keen they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 he's got a point - it's about time we kicked the Welsh out of English football..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackNwhites Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 So, most people would say start from division 20 and work your way up etc.. But, is there a way for them to start from higher up? If there is, I'm sure they'd pursue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 They'd probably still expect to play in the Scottish Cup and what about the backdoor to Europe that they enjoyed before being clobbered down the divisions? I think they would have to start in the Blue Square Premier or thereabouts and take their chances along with any other incumbent. Apres nous le deluge! (Open the floodgates!)

MuespachRam Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Absolutely brilliant, be great to get them in the league. Rangers away on a Tuesday night, we might take 25 up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well if they joined we all know Celtic would also. 2 nice trips up to Glasgow, what more would we want. To be honest I think when they eventually got established in the prem they would make it stronger. They are both massive clubs, both racist but have massive followings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Love to see Celtic Nation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Nation_F.C.) up at the Sports Direct Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 not for me - they can both keep their bigotry and hatred north of the wall.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 They cant go straight into the football league though can they? you used to have to be elected to it, now you have to earn the right to be part of it (and stay part of it) they would surely have to be non league initially - any other restructuring would need a vote wouldn't it.

RamNut Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Does this mean we could join the French league? Nicer away trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy out Pompey and hey presto, already in the 3rd tier..... in sure that's what's prompted the statement ) Pompey expelled then there's a spare spot in the league. surely after the outcry about Wimbledon they wouldn't let it happen again?

Day Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've always had this crazy idea that all clubs should play in their own countries and players should play for their own national team, not where their hairdresser is from. Send Swansea and Cardiff back to Wales and show him where to stick his European Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the FA can stop it, whatever they try will probably be overturned in the courts. The Bosman ruling and transfer windows messed up European football and the domestic and international football authorities were powerless to prevent it.
