Rangers likely to be Liquidated!!

[smokintony]

Anyone think the other clubs will vote to keep them in the league?

I dont think it should be up to other clubs, I cant see how such issues would be voted on in any other sport

Rangers trying to buy Bury

I thought you were joking at first, So Rangers appealing to be let into the SPL because the SPL will suffer without them and how it wont be good for Scottish football, yet they are willing to pull out of the league if allowed to play in England?

I think the best thing for everyone would be to merge celtic and rangers and call them celters. Would be hilarious to see the fans mingle.

cant see that working too well.

Eddes and dioltas, That is what i thought. For me they should be struck to the bottom of the Scottish leagues. Saying that, its not fair that other clubs will suffer because of it.

The only way I would think rangers should be allowed to play in the SPL is that 50% of their profits for the next five years is paid to the lower leagues.

That would be an interesting option to make up for the disgrace that is all but guaranteed to happen. Sadly it's much more likely Rangers will just restart like nothing happened and successfully avoid paying back the money they owe, all they lose is changing their name slightly and a bit of extra mick taking from their rivals.

If that turned out to be the case then celtic can go ahead and not pay their tax bill. Whats the point of rules that have not consequences when broken. Its like putting a tag on someone, means f all in reality.

but if it is someone like Aberdeen or Hearts then they have to start at Divison 3 or if it is Falkirk or Motherwell then they are kicked out of the league in favour of someone like Preston Athletic

"The football mafia represented by former owners of Rangers FC and Rupert Murdoch's media are to blame for some of the worst problems to hit Scottish football and must not be allowed back in under any circumstances.

As regards the club itself, we can only express our deepest condolences to its supporters, who have been lied to for so many years.

It had to happen sooner or later. Victories were achieved not by sporting merits, but through slander, conspiracies amongst players and their poaching via third parties, unfair pressuring of referees, who in themselves are as valuable to the fabric of football as the football stars themselves.

Supporters deserve a new beginning and have to accept the fact that their club has to start from the lower league, keeping order in the SPL and without creating unfair competition with other clubs.

As regards the pitiful state of Scottish football finances, a lot of the blame should be placed at the doors of Murdoch's media. They pay huge sums to English clubs, whilst in Scotland, where football is better supported per capita than anywhere else in Europe and there are more cable or Sky subscribers per capita than in England, clubs receive peanuts for their broadcasting rights."

Speaking to a friend of mine who's a Hearts fan, he thinks this is going to be the best thing that's happened to Scottish football in his lifetime. At first I thought he was nuts, but then he spoke of the imbalance of power between the clubs and how Celtic and Rangers get more votes than the rest of the clubs put together on certain matters which is shocking.

It's going to be a bumpy road for some of the clubs, but it could be a good thing in the long run.

I Feel for their fans but that's the FAIREST way, even IF it might possible nor be the most commercially pleasing for some

[RedKite]

That would kill Scottish football though...
I like that idea , I like it a lot

And I thought we were talking about Queens Park Rangers.

I take it this is about Queens Park Rangers?

[garyjames220]

shame for there fans though

massive club

[petefarrelly]

I know this may be
Impossible but is there any way the entire SPL or at least the 7/8 biggest clubs could join the conference or something now and practically work there way up through the leagues?

[Dioltas]

It seems as though 5 clubs have crucially rejected Rangers bid to re-enter the SPL and as such they will have to start from the bottom unless there is a U-turn.

Quite possibly, a lot of clubs seem to have copped out of any blame by letting fans vote for them and football integrity seems to be winning that battle, but as you say it could be a different story come 4th July. I think clubs are basically canvassing support in the thought process that annoying fans might cause just as much lose of sales from home crowds as the money they could lose from 'The Rangers' away visits.

Todays vote seems confirmed.
They start down the leagues next month.
Interesting to see where the near 20million their fans pay on home and away games a year go?
