October 2011 - the BBC make a documentary, investigating the allegedly illegal purchase of Rangers FC by Craig Whyte and his previous business dealings, labelling him a crook and a liar. Whyte moves to sue the BBC

October 2012 - the BBC invite the same man in for an interview, suddenly believing he is full of the truth and has concrete evidence on past meetings with himself and Charles Green. they also continue to refer to an 140 year old club as a 'new club', despite multiple complaints and being told otherwise from various people, including Stewart Regan

high standard of journalism my arse :wanker:

Complained today to them about the new club pish.

Stated that all other news outlets show their dignity and intelligence levels to tell the truth, that the Club didn't die, while the BBC carry on their 'new club' fantasy. Also, that the SFA, SFL, Administrators and even HMRC maintain it is the same football club that as established in 1872 and even quoted the Administrators stating it is the same Club.

We'll see what they reply.

Old Rangers set for liquidation as administration process ends

_63547854_63545234.jpgPaul Clarke said the liquidation would not affect the new club in Division Three

The former Rangers Football Club is to be put into liquidation after creditors approved an end to the administration process which began on 14 February.

Administrators Duff and Phelps will now apply to the Court of Session to have BDO appointed as liquidators.

The club, which was formed in 1872, was placed in administration over over non-payment of tax totalling about £14m.

HM Revenue and Customs blocked a CVA (creditors agreement) that would have allowed the old club to continue.

Following this, Duff and Phelps oversaw a sale of assets to the Sevco consortium led by Charles Green for £5.5m.

Name change

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.

We have co-operated fully with inquiries into our appointment by Lord Hodge at the Court of Session and the Insolvency Practitioners' Association”

Paul ClarkDuff and Phelps

The new club, started by Mr Green's consortium, began life in the Scottish Third Division.

Announcing moves to end the administration period, joint administrator Paul Clark said: "Creditors have today given their approval for the administrators to bring the administration process to an end and to place the company into liquidation."As a result, we as administrators have instructed our legal team to prepare the necessary application for lodging in the Court of Session as a matter of urgency."Should the application be approved, then Malcolm Cohen and James Bernard Stephen of BDO will be appointed liquidators of RFC 2012 plc, and will undertake the process of liquidation of the 'oldco' company and the continued recovery of funds for creditors."

Mr Clark said this would not affect the new Rangers "as it is a completely separate entity".

He added: "As administrators, our primary statutory function was to ensure Rangers continued as a business and this was achieved. "Secondly, we were tasked to secure a buyer for the club and this too was achieved.

"We are delighted that plans for the revitalisation of Rangers are now continuing with the new owners' intention to float the club on the AIM market."Mr Clark said the administration process had been "comparatively short" and had been handled by Duff and Phelps to "the highest professional standards".

"We have co-operated fully with inquiries into our appointment by Lord Hodge at the Court of Session and the Insolvency Practitioners' Association," he added.

They have even doctored P&P statement:

​Original""This will not affect the current operations of The Rangers Football Club in any way as it is a completely separate entity". they have put in "Mr Clark said this would not affect the new Rangers "as it is a completely separate entity". Fucking :angry:

It is much more sinister that just being inaccurate now, they are now deliberately and systematical attacking our club, this despite the large number of complaints received, this is the tim sports editor and his band of tim workers say "get it up you" something needs to be done about them!!!

The answer is obvious. The BBC only allows a story to be broadcast once the CPS has confirmed there are grounds for prosecution. Until that decision is made, there's no story.

How's that as a mantra for the world's leading broadcasting organisation? Don't say or print a word until a judge tells you it's OK.

That's what I call investigative journalism.
