Big Geordie Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If they are liquidated, what are the options for a new club - being admitted to the SPL, starting off in Division 3 or moving to England? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 No-one probably cares, but I'm guessing Dunfermline will be looking on with interest. Will be shite if a Newco keeps an SPL spot and they're relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagten Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If they are liquidated, what are the options for a new club - being admitted to the SPL, starting off in Division 3 or moving to England? They want to come back into the SPL, obviously. In order to do that they need a majority (not sure exactly what it is) to vote them back in. It seems like they would get the required votes, although I don't think the rest of Scottish football fans are happy about that. Apparently there are plans to boycott games if they are allowed back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it will all boil down to money at end of the day and if the rest of the SPL clubs decide they would make more with Rangers being in the PL, then that's what will happen. When money is involved, morality goes out of the window. They should be busted down to Division 3 - simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Can't help but feel a little disappointed if true. They were by a fair touch the less detestable of the two. Is that a fact or your own opinion? I'm fucking delighted they are going to shit. Oh, and I couldn't give a fuck if Celtic follow them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've got loads of Celtic supporting mates ridiculously happy about this, but I can't understand, it's going to be like us with our current squad competing in league 1 each year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 well its a nasty rivalry of coarse some are going to be happy about it seeing as football fans are short sighted at the best of times. Some more thoughtful ones won't exactly be upset at the loss of rangers but might see the long term implications Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexthegreat Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The other 11 clubs have to vote on whether to let them in the SPL or not. I would be surprised if the other clubs in the league were a model of financial health themselves - I expect there could be a real fear of losing tv income. On the other hand I think Livingston got relegated to the 3rd when they were put in liquidation - can't have one rule for them and a different one for others. I wouldn't be surprised if the eventual outcome is a calciopoli style fudge - maybe Rangers end up doing a year in the first division. Really think they should be made to play in the 3rd though.

Stifler Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I fell sorry for the real non-dickhead fans, and also the people who work for the club (the ones like me and you, the ones on low-average wages, and the youngsters) as well who will all lose a job. No way should they be allowed back into the SPL, Division 3 is where they should be told to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are plans to boycott games if they are allowed back in. There will be a HUGE revolt if they get back in. The other clubs are stretched financially because they tried to compete with a club that was artificially (illegaly) inflated. IF the double contracts are proven and the games inelligible players played in turned over - as the rules state - (over 70-ish players over about 15 years btw) , Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen and Motherwell (and maybe Dundee Utd as well) would ALL have won at least one title, got into Europe, earned more money etc etc. No wonder other clubs fans are hacked off. They didn't just overspend, they blatantly cheated playing inelligble players in HUNDREDS of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 So what happens now then, they start over and are essentially a new club completely debt free? And theres also a chance they might start in the SPL? Hardly seems fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 What I don't understand is, how can assets like Ibrox just transfer to their new company? Shouldn't most if not all of their assets be sold off to pay their debts? Also, it is hardly a good example, just letting them work away with a ground the size of Ibrox. Their season ticket sales will be a lot more than most Scottish clubs, allowing their new company to have a good financial standing. They should be made to start from scratch imo. I know it isn't as straight forward as this, but it seems ridiculous that they can just start over like this debt free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fans of other clubs not being happy about it the SPL clubs will just say "Well you know we need them". Also your forgetting a new club would also be allowed back into Europe.
