The end of Rangers?

[severnside gull]

Is there not a possibility that if they are thrown out of the SPL they will take it to civil court and thus stop the season starting in Scotland.

That is the reason that FIFA have always insisted that clubs always refer issues to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and not to the civil courts as the final arbiter but Rangers having stepped over that line once will surely do so again. If they do though the sanctions will be as extreme as the SFA can manage bearing in mind that they in turn are under review for not having punished Rangers appropriately for going to court this time round. There's a long way to go and Rangers will do all they can to bully other clubs and the SFA into submission. It's what they do best it seems and there is a real risk that they might bring the whole of Scottish football crashing down with them unless one side or the other backs off

If you lived up here, believe me, you wouldn't. They've had it coming for years.

The irony of a Hearts fan criticising Rangers after the way their club has been run over the last few years is simply breathtaking!!

Definitely a post worth posting twice. See my earlier 'pot calling kettle black' post.

Press in Glasgow this morning full of our Gordon Smith calling on rangers to demote themselves.

At least it will clear the air and I think, certainly from chatting to Rangers supporting friendsI think that it would draw a line under the whole affair and let the Rangers fans buy their season tickets with some clarity of purpose.

Can't help think though that there care 11 other clubs in the SPL with anxious CEOs, hopeful that further investigation into their affairs , doesn't take place.

I don't think many Hearts fans are particularly complimentary about how their club is run.

Just seen on the news that this Newco are rumoured to have run out of cash, be laughable if they have gone bust before they've even started. They make Pompey or Palace look financially competent

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Looks like team 12 might be starting life in one of the lower divisions

If a new Rangers enters a Scottish league will it be able to take the history of the old Rangers with it?

Maybe Bury can buy them out.

 

[portslade seagull]

Good .... and yet we have the scummers down the road screwing their creditors for the 2nd time in 2yrs and the FA basically do FA and let the crook who led them down that path before possibly take them over again .... you couldn't make it up...

Is it a possibility that Rangers or a team called Rangers playing at Ibrox will simply cease to exist ?

No it starts from scratch , unless you happen to be a Rangers fan in which case the answer is yes

Hang on, buy Rangers for £5million then sell the ground for £11million, sounds familiar to me
