The end of Rangers?

SPL pair vow to block Rangers bid - Footymad

You think?

It should be clear - send them to division 3. I bet what happens is that they vote them out of the SPL but allow them into Div 1. One season out of the top flight, so as not to upset the Sky TV deal. If that happens then I'd say "integrity my arse".

 

[Jambo Seagull]

As a Hearts fan, I'm delighted that our glorious leader came out and did the right thing in confirming that we will vote no to Newco. It's beginning to look like the new Rangers best hope is being voted into Div 3 of the SFL.

If that happens I'd say you'd be right.

But I'm not sure that would be down to the SPL clubs - a bit like down here they can only vote the club in or out and it's up to the next tier down clubs to decide from there. More than capable of being rigged though.....................

so 3 no votes so far not looking great and Motherwell will let the fans decide

Cally too.

I guess it makes sense for clubs to very publicly "leave it to the fans to decide" given the number of death threats they are likely to get

And if you ever needed to see a classic case of 'pot calling kettle black' just look at Mr Romanov's statement last night. The last person in Scottish Football who should have opened his mooth.
Hearts and integrity are not really words usually found in the same sentence.
Kicking Rangers out fo the SPL will be suicide for all the other clubs, irrespective of rights or wrongs or pathetic posturing as to moral issues. Scottish Football is nearly dead.

It would appear that 'integrity' etc is being used as a substitute for we stand more chance of winning something if they are not in the division.

Then let it die. Saving one club in order to save the whole of Scottish football is not a healthy situation if you ask me.

and rangers are to blame for it, and they will get what they deserve

I guess, depending on how you look at it, it's a case of "turkeys voting for Christmas" or "Christmas postponed for a couple of years..............enjoy"

So how would they have managed if Rangers if got relegated then? Surely they'll just have to cut their cloth according to their means. Anyone else can see that kicking Rangers to div 3 (and so circumnavigating that shite 10-2 rule) would create a real opportunity to restructure the league properly.

I do chuckle at FF and some of the indignant twats on there, making moral judgements on everybody else's voting decisions. You'd think that it was everyone elses fault that they need to find a solution to a MESS that this shitty bigoted club have created.

With the greatest of respect, Miles, that is a load of Weegiecentric guff. Rangers haven't been kicked out of the SPL. They are now defunct. A new club called The Rangers wants to be admitted into the SPL and pretend it is the same as the old club. It isn't.

The implications of the new Rangers being admitted into the SPL are at least as serious from a financial point of view to most clubs in the SPL as them being allowed back in. Dundee Utd, who have a very decent young team and had a very good season, reported yesterday that they had sold 1700 season tickets compared to 4100 this time last year. That is as a direct result of supporters refusing to renew until the club confirms that they are voting No to Newco.

Rangers systematically cheated their way to about a 20 odd trophies over the last 20 odd years, using dual contracts, EBTs, getting the pathetic lapdogs and succulent lamb munchers of the Weegie Press to do "Sir" David's bidding, embarrasssing the whole of Scotland with their bigoted songs and thuggery in Manchesterand then replacing "Sir" David with a guy who didn't pay one penny of tax in the whole 10 month period he was in charge of the club. This is all against a backdrop of Rantic, both members of Scotland's shame whoring themselves to Sky, the English FA, Football League, Atlantic League or anyone else who will have them.

Surprisingly enough, most of the other members of the SPL are not keen on letting Newco back in with everything back to normal. Unsurprisingly, one of the few clubs who havent made their opinion clear is Celtic. Their odious chief executive will almost certainly vote no, as he sees which way the wind is blowing, and to appease his support much of whom are also withholding season ticket money pending the vote.

Scottish football will be in a much better place without Newco The Rangers in the SPL next season. Let them apply to join the SFL, start at the bottom, detox the brand, learn a bit of humility and come back to the SPL in three years time as a club that Glasgow and Scotland can be proud of.

Vladimir has a lot of faults but he has been consistent since day one about Scottish football being totally corrupted by the Glasgow Mafia. In this he has been proved absolutely correct and I salute him.

As a Rangers fan I don't think I could live with being allowed to play in the SPL again, as if nothing has happened. Unfortunately a lot of them do.

5Live this morning were reporting a demotion to Div 3 is likely to be impractical from a traffic / crowd safety issue, and that a demotion to Div 1 would be more likely.

They mentioned in this event Dundee would get promoted to the SPL as Team 12. Ironic that a Dundee Utd "No" vote to newco could help rivals Dundee get promoted.

Surely that can't be taken into account. The two issues are entirely unrelated.

.

I am surprised that "health and safety" hasn't been rolled out as the excuse to just give them the SPL championship as a right on a yearly basis............ I guess it's because the other bigots would challenge it as their right too.

 

[Guy Crouchback]

It should be clear - send them to division 3.

Hear, hear.
