ZeroTolerance Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 So all the players full contracts must be honoured even if in Division 3 and quite clearly cannot afford to pay full contracts - what would happen then if all the players transferred over leaving Huns with 18 million wage bill?

ZeroTolerance Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Sorry I dont care what these Rangers players do next You should. It's hard for a new team to apply to join any league .............. ............ with no fucking squad. Link to comment
ridaligo Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 other than blind optimism / faith / naivety, I have no idea how you come to that view. Dont get me wrong but every one of your posts are so negative in respect of the outcome of the SPL vote. You are basing all your posts on things which happened in the past 20 years. I have a feeling you may be secretly hoping newco rangers are allowed back in SPL so as you can post " I told you so".Anyway that is my view end off Yes, my posts are negative - what evidence is there for me to change my view to a more positive one? I hope *Rangers* are not in the SPL next season but I expect they will be based on the track record of the SFA and SPL over the past 20 years (and indeed over the past few weeks and months). So, if your view is not based on blind optimism / faith / naivety, then what is it that makes you sure *Rangers* will be voted out? I suspect you think that the SPL chairmen will do the right thing because it is the right thing to do or, more likely, because of fan pressure. I hope you are right. Oh, and I promise not to say "I told you so" Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 think new sky premiership deal might be a boost to spl. after next season espn will have zero english premiership fora minimum of 3 seasons. now presuming they want to maintain their uk presence it would be fair to assume they will try harder to outbid sky on other including scottish footballI doubt it, there are rumours they could quit the UK when their current deals finish. ESPN is considering its position internationally and could even withdraw from certain markets if it cannot be profitable in those areas, Disney chairman and chief executive Bob Iger told investors. That includes the UK, where the broadcaster holds rights to show live matches from the Barclays Premier League and FA Cup. During the announcement of the company's first quarter financial results, Iger also claimed that ESPN's main focus was on the US and that everywhere else was less of a concern. "ESPN Link to comment

dunf_sheep Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 One thing that no one has mentioned from what I can see, if a Newco is let back in the SPL, what would happen to them if they go the same way as OLDCO (without 3years Europe money, they will continue haemorrhaging money if they keep players on existing contracts)I can see us being back here in a season or two time discussing Newco2 Link to comment

granite sheep Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Daily Retard regurgitating the Evening Express's story that 97% of Dandies are opposed to any sort of Newco, just so if the SPL chairmen have their secret ballot and tell the Hun to GTF, the Record can act all torn faced and bitter towards AFC. Just like usual, the West Coast Media have never forgiven us for the audacity of winning piles of trophies back in the day. 1 Link to comment
oilcat Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 My thoughts exactly Boofon, also if ESPN really wanted the EPL deal they would have bid whatever it took, they are funded by The Disney Company FFS Regarding the SPL deal, I see that the Record today are fibbing reporting that Sky will tear up the deal WHEN the hun drop out of the SPL. My thoughts on this, call their f*cking bluff, let ESPN, BBC, STV bid and while the cash will be significantly smaller in total, the split will be equal Link to comment

Just like usual, the West Coast Media have never forgiven us for the audacity of winning piles of trophies back in the day.It is a dispicable rag of a paper. Off topic but if you read the story on Arneson from 9 June, totally skewed version of what the actual story is. The only consolation is to know that almost everyone in that newsroom is distraught just now at their beloved hun falling apart in front of their very eyes and there is nothing they can do to stop it. :lolrangers: Link to comment

weapon Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The daily record is saying that Sky will only accept rangers being demoted to the 1st division so that they will only be out of the spl for one season: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2012/06/14/rangers-in-crisis-sky-tv-threaten-to-tear-up-tv-deal-if-ibrox-club-is-demoted-to-division-three-86908-23895647/ So what happens if they don't get promotion?? We'll be in exactly the same position next season with Sky threatening to pull the plug as the new contract will have conditions for pulling the plug if rangers are not in the spl next season. We need to get back to basics, fxxk the tv deal get fans back to games and ensure that changes are made to make the league more competitive, a more competitive league will bring fans back, we're all glory hunters any sniff of success will fill the grounds!!

E-P-K Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 That was personally sanctioned by Millertime. :thumbs: It's crazy money. How many folk do BT actually have as a target audience at the moment and will this be through BT Vision? They will have to have a channel on SKY which is monthly subscription based. Link to comment

Stoney Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 If thats the case surely we could follow rangers example and boycot sky sports for a few months! They wont miss 10000 huns, they will however miss 70+ percent of the SPL viewing audiance! Link to comment
E-P-K Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 SKY will just show Celtic most weekends which will keep the viewing figures up, and then have to show more of the rest, Its not like many people get SKY just for the SPL, so I very much doubt SKY would see much subscriptions lost if Rangers were not in the SPL.

vanderark14 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Rangers have sealed their own fate and probably changed a few chairmen's minds for them. With their rabble rousing and threats to others if they were to go bust, there was only going to be one outcome. Link to comment
