Rangers

[Doon frae Troon]

HMRC do not accept CVA so Rangers now must seek Newco status.

How the mighty have fallen. Cap in hand to the 'Wee Teams' to let them play in the SPL.

 

[CMAC]

so I assume if liquidated all assets have to be realised by the liquidators for the market value to pay off the debts?

All players and staff will have no 'Rangers' contract and are free to move on?

A new Company will have no ground to play at or position in the SPL?

 

[smange]

We all know that the SPL, SFA, SFL and any other governing body of Scottish football that has bent over backward over the years to keep Rangers and Celtic happy will bend the rules and/or invent new ones to make sure any Newco Rangers will be playing in the SPL next season.

They should be relegated to the third division just like any of the so called "wee teams" would have been if they had CHEATED for years like Rangers have.


If, sorry, WHEN the Newco Rangers are allowed to play in the SPL again next season it will be the final nail in the coffin for Scottish football. There are many fans of many other clubs ready to turn their backs on Scottish football if Rangers get away with this and I for one will never attend another game in Scotland.

Scottish football is dreadful as it is. Without Rangers it will be even worse, Celtic competing against ermmm nobody.Snore.

Typical English response

I always forget just how competitive the English Premiership is. I mean after all since its introduction 20 years ago theres been 5 different winners in a league twice the size of the SPL and two no sorry three of those only won it after massive cash injections Man City, Chelsea and Blackburn. Pots and kettles spring to mind.

Not going to happen Stevie, a lot of the other chairmen are royally fed up with the attitude coming out of iBrokes for the last few weeks with Chuckie Green spouting there will be £30m in the pot at the end of next month yet they can't/won't pay their football debts?

Now wait for the sycophantic media to ramp up the newco plan before that gets the bulllet as well.

 

[full_throttle]

If Rangers get demoted to the 3rd tier how would the Sky TV contract be affected?


In my view, as a neutral, surely Rangers starting over again is better for the whole of Scottish Football. Elgin, Stranrear et al would be financially sound for a few more years if they played host to Rangers two/three times a year in league football, following promotion Rangers would then visit more clubs that require the finances to stay in the red.

I'm pretty sure that within a 3/4 year period Rangers would be back in the SPL.

They might be fed up with it Chris but when it comes down to it they will vote in favour because most of them are only interested in the supposed few extra quid a year playing Rangers will bring in.

Its a complete farce and any other team, except for Celtic, would have been relegated by now but the rotten to the core SPL governing body will bend and break rules to suit the Newco.

The SPL/SFA wont be the walkovers they might have been a few weeks ago prior to Rangers going to court.

Lots and lots to run on this yet, reports are that due to contract irregularities they "could" be stripped of 13 trophies including 5 SPL titles.

Seen a thing that said a club will only need another 200 - 300 season tickets to counter act the loss of ra peepil. As Valentino says LOTS more to come out of this and I would wager some folk could end up in the "big hoose" over it.

 

[chris661]

Another thing I can remember the late 80's where Rangers* were languishing at mid table at best. Where were the arguments then?

Lots of chairmen lately against any newco entry, Celtic, St Mirren, Hibs, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen all have stressed they will be listening to their fans and the fans want them gone.

It's all Fergus McCanns fault.

Early 80's, Rangers 9IAR started 1989 with Celtic stopping 3IAR in 88

Will believe it when I see it, think theres a bit of trying to save face going on with chairmen and their clubs supporters.

And please if it does happen and Rangers or any newco are not in the SPL can Dunfermline please not be re-instated into it. I prefer the first division with games against Raith and Falkirk to look forward to

 

[Dodger]

Full Time Score - Glasgow Rangers 0 - HMRC 1 (Hector 93')

I do hope next seasons shirt hasn't been done with the 5 stars on yet....more wasted money.

Next up for HMRC is going after Murray and Whyte's arses..............custodial sentences beckon.

Pleasing.

Maybe so but time will tell.

I get it, that way you may win a game or 2

Yes, mistake on my part

 

[FairwayDodger]

Rangers fan here - very sad about the demise of my club. Please keep the gloating to a minimum - I can't stop myself reading this thread even though I know I shouldn't...

Hope so!

<sigh> My mixed fours partner works for HMRC.... he might be getting dumped!! :lol:

Expected that comment:ears:

Nah, more along the lines of some local rivalries and a bit of atmosphere at the matches instead of the sterile SPL

These rivalries should be in the same league all be it top middle or bottom leagues.
