Don54 25,548 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi new on here so idk if this has been posted before, Uefa Officially Confirm Rangers Historyby Mitre_Mouldmaster (The Rangers One) (U13206) 14 December 2012COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLEEuropean clubs body downgrades Rangers' status but recognises history-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The European Club Association has confirmed that Rangers remain as members of the organisation but that their status has been downgraded following the transfer of ownership.Following administration and the subsequent transfer of assets to a newco owned by Charles Green’s consortium, Rangers lost their place in the Scottish Premier League and were later admitted to the third tier of the Scottish Football League.The ECA is the sole independent body recognised by UEFA and FIFA as representing clubs at European level. Ordinary members of the group are required to be playing in their domestic top division and be licensed to play European football.Rangers do not hold a UEFA club licence as a result of a break in their accounts and, having lost their top-flight status, are no longer ordinary members of the ECA, the organisation confirmed."Rangers FC held ordinary membership with the ECA before entering into administration and later into liquidation," an ECA spokesperson confirmed to STV."Meanwhile Rangers FC, owned by the Rangers Football Club Plc, transferred all its assets, including its goodwill, to S.evco Ltd (S.evco Ltd later changing its name to the Rangers Football Club Ltd)"Alike at Scottish FA level, this 'new entity' had to re-apply for membership with ECA as according to Swiss law, membership of an association is neither heritable nor transferable (article 70.3 of the Swiss Civil Code)."In dealing with these re-application, ECA applied the terms and provisions of our membership policy and statutes."According to the prerequisites set out in the membership policy, Rangers FC did not meet the requirements to be granted ordinary membership (top division and European licence).However, Rangers are permitted to hold associate membership, which holds no voting rights, as they are one of the founder members of the ECA. The organisation considers the club’s history to be continuous regardless of the change of company."With regards to associated membership, the membership policy states amongst others that founding members are granted automatic membership," the spokesperson explained."Taking into account that the 'new entity' also acquired the goodwill of the 'old entity', it was held by the ECA executive board that the goodwill, taking into account legal and practical arguments, also included the history of the 'old company'."Consequently it was concluded that Rangers FC was entitled to associated membership of ECA as considerer to be a founding member."
