trueblueal 2,117 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 There is absolutely nothing new in this, its always been the case and nothing will happen unless we actually were to qualify, that's not going to happen anytime soon.There was some doubt over whether a Ashleys interest in us constituted a breach of the rules in terms of 'decisive influence' as he obviously doesn't gold a majority stake. Seems that had now been decided if the article is taken at face value Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds 3,359 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Any reason why it would be Newcastle that would be prevented from playing in Europe, as the story seems to suggest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Newcastle and Rangers will not be able to play in Europe togetherSo nothing really new but the Uof/SoS fannies are in panic mode. Does anyone know for certain when we'd be eligible for Europe. How would we qualify? If anyone mentions McCostalot winning a cup... So once again much ado about nothing.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Any reason why it would be Newcastle that would be prevented from playing in Europe, as the story seems to suggest?It's the team that doesn't get in the CL that gets bumped.If we both qualified for the same tournament we would get bumped.

Guest Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Taig media bringing this out when its utterly irrelevant at this point in time.

Guardian 4,281 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We can't enter the world cup either. Shame they missed that exclusive.Just yet more scaremongering, desperately using scaremongering from ages ago.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Really don't think it matters that much for various reasons, for a start either club actually getting into Europe, and possible the most important I think by the end of next season Ashley will have sold Newcastle.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'd be worried if we were actually in a position to qualify for Europe, this is not the case atm and we have bigger things on the agenda at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gers1690 194 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Not worried as I cannot see Newcastle entering Europe any time soon - sure, they're doing pretty okay now, but as usual they will soon dip down to mid-table and stay there.But by the time it could pose a problem, I'm sure it won't be a problem and we would have thought ahead anyway.

liquid111 51 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Newcastle's performance is commendable, but in my opinion, for them to get a European place every season would require them to over-perform, and at least 2 or 3 of the usual top-6 to *massively* and *consistently* under-perform.I'm of the view that if any of the top-6 (Man U, Man C, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham) underperforms (e.g., like Liverpool are doing at the moment), they will throw *extreme* amounts of of money at the problem and rectify it very quickly, which means that Newcastle will not get one of those first five places (1st to 4th get into the lucrative Champtions League, 5th get into the substantially less lucrative Europa League).

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 As I feared, Ashley has overstepped the boundaries by having a decisive influence over both us and Newcastle. If we make the Uefa at the same time as Newcastle we won't be entering the comp as it stands.Has he?All he has is a minor stake of under 10%, outstanding loans to the club, and two business colleagues, whom he only suggested to the board as useful, perhaps.Maybe UEFA have jumped the gun on this one.Maybe someone at the SFA told them it was indeed the case that he actually had a controlling interest in us. Did he or the Club confirm it to the SFA? I don't recall any such confirmation of that one or the other, so have the SFA said, right you've had enough time to respond, so we take it that he does have a controlling interest and will notify UEFA about it, so as to block one of Rangers or Newcastle from competing in the same year?I think more information is required to make a judgement here, certainly for me.

IanFerguson2013 396 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I don't think either team will be in European competition next year. So long as we get the 3 years' accounts and get ourselves up a division I think we will be happy and not too bothered about Europe for another year.I do hope to eventually see the big nights back at Ibrox but to be honest all I care about is the club surviving and getting back to normal so we can all relax and worry about normal things.
