A herse parked outside Paradise and pictured over the media as opposed to a floral wreath on a coffin while blaming the Taxman would suggest Chris may have a point.

I'm bitter about it alright and I am going to enjoy it make no mistake of that.:ears:

In truth, Rangers and Celtic have large supports with diverse opinions. Some are empathetic and supportive - others delight in their rival's distress and wish them ill.

I'm gutted that it looks like I need to become a Hibbee..... but I certainly don't wish the same fate on anyone else's club.

Seems pretty similar imagery to me. Don't think the taxman was involved in Celtic's brush with insolvency? Sorry don't really remember the details.

I just can't see where Cheats Newco can possibly get 8 votes?

Not wanting to give you guys another line of attack but the SPL voting rules really are bizarre. OK we know they have an 8-4 split for the "New Rangers in the SPL" vote, but I've seen it explained in both the following ways:

* They need 8 votes to be admitted to the SPL (as you imply)
* 8 votes would be required to relegate Rangers from the SPL (i.e. they only need 4 votes to stay)

No axe to grind here - I vote for Div 3 - but they really need to sort out the voting method going forward.

There's no vote to relegate them. They have ceased to exist.

They think they can apply as Cheats Newco FC to the SPL, which in theory is true, becasue the SFL is a seprate entity. In order to be allowed INTO the SPL, they would need an 8-3 majority, the other vote being their own now lost vote that will have died with Cheats Oldco.

Their vote is not lost,they have a vote.... bizarrely.

Have I heard correctly, the new company is The Rangers Football Club Ltd?
Also heard theres a new manager announced or about to be, heard the name but meant nothing to me (not that well versed in Scottish football)

 

[Lanark_Golfer]

wonder where to? is there a new season of 'A question of sport' on the cards

He'd only spoil it by demanding to know who the mystery guests are :rofl:

Does anyone know the history/criteria of how Berwick rangers play in the Scottish leagues? Maybe even Cardiff/Wrexham/Swansea.

They obviously have addresses in their own respective countries, but play in others. Could this whole thing be turned on its head by the newco applying to the English leagues?

Ok it may take Rangers 7-8 seasons to get to the top division (if all successive promotions), but it would take them 3 to get to the top in Scotland anyway. Once they were in the Chamionship or division one, their income would probably be the same as now anyway.

Interesting (scratches, chin).

I doubt, that after he ransacking of Manchester, that RFC would be welcome anywhere! I have even seen that the teams in the third division don't want them :rofl:

Liverbirdie, the English FA changed their rules a couple years back when the ugly sisters mooted moving down south, it is now not possible to play there if your team/town is not physically within England. Obviously that excluded existing teams.

Thanks, I didn't know they had done that. I know they had a vote (premiership only??) but didn't know that they had changed their constituition/rules about this.

Yes, I try to tread delicately, also.

Not stating otherwise, just highlighting the confusion surrounding this... the 8 votes to relegate concept was from one of this morning's papers and it surprised me - I was with you on the 8 votes to get in idea.

I think it a bit unfair to insist on "Cheats Newco".... it's a new company and the only upside to that is it should start with a clean slate with the sins (and triumphs for that matter) of the oldco ("Cheats Oldco" if you insist) expunged. Don't expect anyone to agree with me though! :lol:
