As an Englishman with no affiliation and a footie fan in general it has to be a sad day when any club of the heriage of Rangers dies or goes into terminal decline. Whether they go bust and start again at the bottom I feel is open to argument and many a day and more moeny spent arguing this in court

They were in terminal decline after May 25th 1967. Unfortunately it has taken this long to die.

They havent went into decline. They have run up millions upon millions of debt in unpaid taxes and many other unpaid bills, Breaking laws and cheating their way to titles and cup successes.

Why not feel sorry for the smaller clubs who have paid their taxes and lived within their means but have suffered relegation and losing out on cup runs that may have brought in much needed money due to losing matches against a Rangers team that shouldnt have been as strong as it was.

They have been cheating for years and deserve absolutely no sympathy and as has been said their fans have spent many years revelling in their successes and gloating at the rest of Scottish football.
 
It is a total disgrace of a situation, as an example, they owe the Scottish Ambulance Service just over £10,000 which they will never see, yet Rangers were rumoured to be offering Rino Gattuso £12,000 a week if he returned :confused:

Hopefully they will get the full punishment they deserve, still not convinced they will though.

You can't bracket the fans and the people who run the club together! The fans probably had no idea that taxes weren't being paid. The fans would have revelled in the glory because they would have believed that it was a justified victory.

I'm simply stating that it's always the fans that loose out in situations like this. The men who run the club can walk away, the players can sign for another club but it's the fans who are left to pick up the pieces.

What he said.

This,I am led to believe from a pal who has a contact whom is a high level Journo,is only the start,the findings from the EBT's will mean stripping of titles and cups for the horrible peepul followed by action against the man who got them into the mess in the first place Sir Minty Moonbeems.....this is set to get more and more interesting believe me.

AW look up the term "succulent lamb". The media have been brushing these rumours under the carpet for years. RFC* were seen as the "establishment" club and that very culture still exists today, the fans and directors, hell even the administrators, were saying invest in us we have done wrong but don't worry we r ra peepul and it will be alright. I think 10 years ago a director resigned/got booted out and went around trying to tell folk what was going on and he was made out to be some sort of crackpot.

The heritage of Glasgow Rangers is poisonous. It is a club founded upon bigotry which oozes from the blood red brick of the main stand at Ibrox ( named after Bill Struth, the man widely acknowledged with propagating the policy of not signing Roman Catholics ).

I don't think they cared if the bills were getting paid or not. They were just in party mode buying titles they couldn't afford. They were loosing around £30 million a season during the £12 million for FLO era :rofl: everyone else knew they were on dodgy ground but Murray was the Hero with his £10 for every £5 Celtic spend nonsense. I've heard that he'll do 10yrs for every 5yrs Whyte does now :whoo:

Yes i have certain sympathies for their genuine supporters, but I also feel that the true Rangers supporters (by true I mean not the glory hunters and the bigots) must be very angry that their club has been subjected to this and probably embarrassed. I know I would be if Dunfermline were in this situation.
