tirvaluk Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think the administrators are using any excuse not to make a decision. Whatever the outcome of SPL changes they will have far less bearing on any purchaser than the up and coming tax cases. If anything the SPL changes favour Rangers, as it sounds as though they can stay in the SPL, which is not the present case if they are in liquidation.

JacoByte Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 make of this what you will but it is pathetically ameturish at best and downright stupid if not a deliberate attempt to screw rangers even further at worstWhit! The SPL are doing all they can to KEEP Rangers in the league, if, and it's looking increasingly likely, that Rangers go into liquidation they should have to apply to the SFL for entry into Div 3, as Gretna had to. The SPL's own Articles of Association state that any club that is liquidated aren't entitled to hold a share and that their share should be transfered for £1 to another club i.e. Ross County with Dunfermline staying up.Instead the Self Preservation League will move the goalposts so that der hun remains in the league so they get the 4 old firm games that Sky want to televise, all for the 'benefit of Scottish football' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dratsy Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 From Eurosport newsThe resolutions, which will be considered on April 30, will mean tougher sanctions for clubs who go into administration in future or face the prospect of liquidation. If Rangers are liquidated, a 'newco' would be deducted 10 points for two seasons if accepted straight back into the SPL and would also face financial penalties in the form of league payments being slashed by 75% for three seasons. A statement from the RST read: "The board of the Rangers Supporters Trust, like other fans of the club, are not in the least surprised by the actions and timing of the SPL decision to vote on rule changes which has now further delayed a future takeover of Rangers. "Given the severity of the possible sanctions, and their impact on any club who may also fall on hard times through mismanagement, it leaves us little option but to give serious consideration of calling for a boycott of away fixtures by Rangers fans next season; specifically targeting those clubs who have rushed through the proposals to punish our club with these excessive and draconian penalties." If they go through with this there will be a few more clubs in liquidation before too long.Seeing as most grounds with out the old firm visiting are almost empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckletrow Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 On the other side of the argument - if we are liquidated and require these teams votes to gain entry to the SPL, any boycott threat will result in Rangers playing in the 3rd Division. Aberdeen only need an average of an extra 600 supporters at games to compensate for the loss of the two Rangers games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacoByte Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 ^^More purile bigoted nonsense - grow upOh get over yersel, I've nae time for either of the ugly sisters but it seems that we're stuck with them until they can find some league daft enough to accept them. It just irritates me that an element of the Rangers support think it's ok to rack up huge debts then just walk away from it all and start again in the SPL.

Incongruous Eel Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Where does RFC fit into your Utopian Shetland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dratsy Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 they don't for by i enjoy watching them play. It costs the council (and every one else) nothing for me to watch them so I guess it is my business who I watch or support.when i lived south i had a season ticket payed for out of my own pocket no grants whatsoever for my chosen pass time.And on occasion I have traveled from Shetland to Ibrox for a game but not since i got married as I don't think it would be fair of me to spend our money on what is something purely for my own enjoyment and not hers.Although I do get Sky sports and she gets a pushbike, that's called a compromise.As for the my utopian Shetland there are a fair few supporters of the old firm that have moved here that I would pack up and send south in the next cattle truck, and a fair few that I am glad have moved here.

Its the use of the term 'hun' that puts you in the bracket of bigot - i'll accept that you are using it in a disparaging rather than bigoted way.I am not exactly ecstatic about the situation Rangers are in but it is pragmatic for the whole of the SPL and Scottish Football to look at the current implications of liquidation/expulsion from SPL and see the wider financial consequences, not just for the Sky deal but for all clubs. If the powers that be decide to make no exceptions and Rangers end up in Div 3 then so be it, but is that really going to help? I doubt it, no matter how much you hate the Ugly Sisters.

tirvaluk Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have never thought of the term Hun being bigoted, or the term Tim, I know huns and tims that are proud do be called these names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoogler Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 By definition these are derogatory terms in UK and Ireland for Protestants and Catholics, so their use, even if those who identify themselves as such, is part of the wider bigotry of the Old Firm. As a Rangers supporter, who couldn't give a toss about the so called religious divides, I find anyone using the terms or singing the songs to be offensive to some degree. The main point of bothering to post was to express exasperation at the degrees of hate that are generated in the Rangers/Celtic debate on this thread. I am not surprised, just disappointed - so i will get ower mysel. I'm only interested in the football! (i know, its sad isn't it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the fact this was Lennon it has been blown out of all proportion.There was never as much reaction in the media when all those ex Scotland managers and also current manager were throwing their toys out the pram.All I see from people like yourself is blind hatred.
