Toonpack 9171 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 no, that's not right, according to people like Toonpack, who say clubs who go into administration will just go quietly, disappear and never be heard of again. Lies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Burtons Grandad 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Seeing as Scottish football seems happy to throw away millions of pounds by shafting Rangers and sending them into D3; perhaps they should do a Darlington and apply for the Northern League and work up from there. Probably a better standard of Football in the NL and bigger crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon_don 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 They'd be throwing away millions of pounds if they let them back in. Also, the claims of potential losses appear to assume that every single sponsor will pull out, and there won't be any Scottish football on TV, which is laughable really.

Toonpack 9171 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Seeing as Scottish football seems happy to throw away millions of pounds by shafting Rangers and sending them into D3; perhaps they should do a Darlington and apply for the Northern League and work up from there. Probably a better standard of Football in the NL and bigger crowds. How are Scottish football "shafting" Rangers (rip) really ?? I'd seriously like to know why anyone holds that opinion. Rangers (rip) have not even had any sanction applied to them yet for "wrong-doing" all they've had is consequence of their own missmanagement/actions. Went into Admin = 10 point penalty, Will be liquidated and UEFA wont give a licence to any "new" club (anywhere) until they have played for 3 years, it's not a ban per se it's a rule. Why should they be treated differently to any other club. If Man U went "pop" would you be happy if the Prem League and FA levered them back in at, or near, the top of the Pyramid. Edit: for balance - Livingston went into liquidation for a period of less than 24 hours, were saved came out of liquidation and were still punted to the 3rd Division. Rangers ain't comming out of liquidation, ever, unless someone pumps in £120 Million quid just to clear the debts.

I understand people want justice to be done, but it will only further push the league further downwards, they are cutting off their own noses. Just as well they don't disappear completely, which is what Toonpack and others always insisted happened when they were running scaremongering stories that NUFC would go the same way, which in itself is the laugh of the century.

And the other major difference is that we are not talking here about what supporters "want", but what WILL happen and what is best for Scottish football. Still makes me laugh when people can't differentiate between what they WANT to happen and what WILL happen in the real world. I would WANT ManU to go down into the Northern Premier League, but WOULD it happen ? Not a chance, and only a complete lunatic would believe that or think it is better for the game. Like it or not, football is not the same as the High Street. We are not talking about corner shops, or outlets where "customers" can just go somewhere else. It's about time you and others like you got into the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've been over all this many times. no, I'm ignoring the people I used to have these debates with. There is no point in saying you will ignore someone then continuing to reply to them. That makes you look like a tool, IMO. It's a valid point and comment I'm making trophyshy. Rangers will not cease to exist, and its a fact that this myth has been peddled in the past by people. Big football clubs do NOT just disappear like that. They may [and will] suffer the consequence of relegation but in a few years time they will be back and the few years it took them to do it will be completely forgotten. It may be a twat for supporters of other clubs, as supporters, but the SPL and Scottish football as a whole needs them, and they know it.

LeazesMag 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So English Football can't survive without Man Utd, that's what you are saying isn't it ??? Man U are a different entity in a different league. The English game would survive without ManU, who by the way are also one of the biggest clubs in europe and the world [unlike Rangers] but that is because the English league is a big highly competitive league with many other very big teams who are among the biggest in europe and in world football. The thought of it happening is preposterous mind, but that is the case. Scotland only has 2 teams, and if Rangers disappeared it would effectively be the end to any competition for Celtic and Scottish football would be finished as we know it. Sad, but true. You and others may WANT this, for whatever reasons, but it is not going to happen, and never was. They will be back. Big clubs like that just don't disappear. I find it quite staggering that you are still even entertaining the possibility of this happening, do you seriously think that an institution like that along with 50,000 supporters [the same as NUFC] and more dotted all over Scotland, will just disappear and they will find something else to do on Saturday afternoons ?

At the very beginning people said there was no way they would be put into administration. This changed to the idea of liquidation being laughable. Only a few weeks ago people were saying that the SPL clubs couldn't afford to vote them out. They've now reached a point where they're relying on the tiny lower league clubs to vote against their own sporting interests to give them a free pass. Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and Dundee United are big enough to ride out the cuts that will happen because of this. And clubs like St Johnstone, Inverness and St Mirren will budget for relegation. Only Kilmarnock could be in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Leeds, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Port Vale etc. Rangers wasnt just overspending but not paying HMRC. Then is was "they wont go under". Well they have. Rangers no longer exist. They were liquidated. What you have now is a new Rangers. Of course the fans are still there. But you cant just write it off like it doesnt matter. Of course it matters, else SJH could have just let us be liquidated before taking over. But, Rangers are one of two clubs that the SPL survives on. It just goes to show that greed is more important than ethics to some up there when despite Rangers doing what they did they just want them to be slapped on the wrist and remain in the SPL. Had this been Inverness for example they would have been sent to the back of the queue. But no, they want Rangers in the SPL as they know financially they bring in money to the whole league. Rangers will not be in the SPL next season, despite many thinking it would never come to that. Question now I guess is will they be in the 1st or the 3rd. People want them in the 1st to hope they get right back into the SPL for the finances it brings everyone. Others say the 3rd where anyone else would be sent. Even though it is a newco mind, its easy to say it has nothing to do with Oldco and this is a new club with no history. But one thing that doesnt change is the "soul" of the club. That remains the same. Same attitude, same fans, same stadium. Financially a clean slate. But the implication of starting in the 3rd could be a tough one. No CL money, no European money at all in fact. Less TV money and so on. Though I suspect their gates will be the same as ever even in the 3rd.

NJS 4365 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Not sure how the law works as its a new entity but I'd like to see the new club be forced to pay off the money owed. That may drag them down such that its not an easy return to the PL (especially as their decent players are leaving) but it would still be worth it imo. The "target" of all of this shouldn't be to see a "Rangers" back challenging Celtic in 3 years time and all the extra revenue restored as if nothing happened - it should be to ensure the debts are paid.

Greed is more important than ethics, that phrase is spot on. It is, whether we like it or not, that is the way things are. It's also a consistent pattern in football too, that these clubs don't disappear. They just don't. That clip I posted from that book is historical fact, it's about football clubs and how they survive way beyond "normal" businesses. Football has changed, but the roots are still tribal and traditional. The phrase "we'll support you evermore" ........... still used, always has been, and the bigger the club, the more the support who will NEVER support anybody else. Would anybody on here seriously support any other club bar NUFC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply replied, for the first time since I put him on ignore as he made a personal comment aimed at me for no reason at all. I will now resume discussing the point of the thread, which is Rangers going into administration, and what may or may not happen next to them. If you don't actually LIKE my views for some reason Renton, then I'm sorry about that, so lets just wait and see what actually does happen to Rangers, right ? Meanwhile, the people I have on ignore will continue to be ignored which makes it easier to disregard their rubbish and immaturity.
