Rangers Into Administration

[kiwi-red]

Consider my mind blown at the Cowdenbeath and Findlay thing. Totally...

Yup. They're fucked.

It could well be that Donald Findlay puts Scottish football above any love he has for Rangers.It could be that he takes the view that community owned football clubs are the way to improve Scottish football,and that Rangers have a better longterm future if theyre stripped right down and started from scratch as a supporter owned club.We all assumed that Donald Findlays love for Rangers was his main driving force.But perhaps he thinks its more important that Cowdenbeath survive because they have more potential to do good for football in his hometown than Rangers ever will.At the moment,for the suits at the top,its all about protecting the Professional game as an entertainment industry.Protecting the income of those who make a lot of money out of football.In all their talk of armageddon and meltdown,we've never heard them say anything about the effect it will have on kids playing football for the love of it.For fun.Thats because it will have no effect.If the whole professional game packed up tomorrow,dads would sort something out to make sure their boys had somewhere to play and someone to play against within a week or two.They are the future of the game and have had very little benefit from all the TV deals and turnstile money.That cash pretty much all goes on inflated wages paid to mostly middling professional footballers often from abroad.The people charged with running football seem to measure the success of the game by the value of the cars in the training ground car parks.While that attitude exists,the game in Scotland will continue to slide.Fortunately,I think the chairmen,boards and supporters of SFL clubs have a different idea of whats important to the future of Scottish football.

Yes, there will be at least one league campaign without the Old Firm squaring up

Ray Houghton is a fucking sack of shit

[vanderark14]

I wouldn't bother with Talksport, their whole business model is to goad folk into a reaction that costs 50p a minute.

 

he was on the phone as a guest not a presenter. Whether the rest are on the wind up or not is irrelevant!. These bastards have a voice that people will listen to. It is irritating that so many main stream media outlets are towing the hun line and predicting the end for us

[Crossbow]

I don't know what to believe in terms of money and suspect that no one else does. As far as it goes the only option is to maintain the game as as a sport and that means same rules for everyone no matter how big. Scottish football must re-organise itself so that money is better distributed - even if it is less and that should there ever be a bigger payday in the future the structures of the organisation will stop that being unevenly distributed. All teams in the league must receive the same finances from the central pot. Scottish football must be more than the green bigots playing the blue ones

Plastic paddy Houghton is another gash who knows absolutely nowt about Scottish Fitba, just like Durham and his pet monkey Gough. Why are these clowns being allowed to commentate on something they know nothing about? Oh i forgot its Talksh1te radio isnt it. Stick to wanking off about how great the english premiershit is and how its the greatest league in the world, blah, blah, blah. Because no right-minded just person gives a fuck about your presenters and guests opinion about Scottish Football.

[vanderark14]

They can predict what they like, the decisions will continue to be made by the clubs.

 

Any club that pays heed to shite like this and Traynor etc rather than their own fans and accountants can take a flying fuck to themselves.

 

next week's decision is even bigger that yesterday

 

Div 1 option cannot be allowed to happen

 

The only options should be 1) to APPLY for Division 3 2) disappear forever

 

Option 2) for me now

[chester2]

So they havent been able to bully the spl, they've shown no humilaty at all during this process and now they want to steam-roller the SFL clubs.

 

These cunts believe they have a devine right to continue in the way that they've just been ripped apart for, clueless fuckers the lot of them, extinction is the only possibility now imo, not even divison 3, just get rid and we'd all be in a better place.

 

They will Still be spouting 'we are Rangers' to anyone that will listen.

Yeah but there listener-ship is mostly made up of english of the southern/london variety, who clearly couldnt give a fuck about the Scottish game. So i wouldnt worry about what they say. Treat them with the contempt they deserve.

[ollie1903]

500 pages of unrelenting hun misery

I wish it was coming to a conclusion though, my heid is well and truly done in.

 

Maybe so. Lets face it, the zombies are an even more repellant and distrusting lot than the old hun fans they were before. I reckon they'd be up in arms about anything right now to be honest.

 

If they are sensible surely they would see this was beneficial to the new club's attempt to adopt the identity of the dead club?

 

Sevco is like buffalo bill from Silence of the Lambs. This is just an operation to apply some skin lotion before they finally kill and skin Rangers so Sevco can wear the skin like some freaky clothes.

 

Green will probably be at the meeting muttering "put the lotion in the basket".

Huns changing their name

 

RFC 2012

 

Fucking diddies

 

 

Thats just them changing the name of the company in adminstration thus allowing the new company to take up the same name as the old one.

 

 

As V for V says, they are just giving oldco a placeholder name prior to liquidating and winding up.

 

However, proposed name change for Sevco, needs the approval of Companies House/Liquidators does it not, if it's too similar to anything that had been used before. The only difference I can see is the use of the words 'the' and 'limited'.

 

Fook em!

Long, but worth reading.

 

Stewart Regan tonight stands condemned by one of the most appalling press interviews ever given by a senior official in the Scottish game. But before I start talking about what he did say, let's be very clear on what he didn't say; he didn't say that there will be social unrest if Rangers are not in SFL 1. He used the term "social unrest" in the context of there being no Rangers whatsoever

Good read indeed. Should be plastered all over the interweb and should be the issues raised shouldn't have to be done so in blog form, it should be out in the open and getting looked at by the media.

Broon said so in his press conference today I think?

 

Tyrone from STV was on Twitter saying he was praising the board for telling him his budget wouldn't be cut.

Doncaster, for one, claims financial cataclysm will be inflicted on the SPL should Rangers not be in it for more than one year; can he survive the scrutiny into who's fault that is? Can he survive when he negotiated the very contracts which he claims will be nullified in that instance

 

 

 

And what about going forward, Doncaster and Regan are doing more than anyone to damage any future sponsorship/tv deals,

 

With or without this "4 old firm game" clause, what happens to these deals when be renogotiated?

 

Why would any company be willing to invest in the game, when the games own rulers, the people employed to show the game in this country in the best possible light, to bring in as much investment as possible to the game, are admitting it is only about the old firm, nothing else matters.

 

If there saying the league is worthless with out the old firm then why a company want to be associated without Sevco

 

And if a company did decide to sponsor, they would just turn around and say "Well if it was worth a million before, now without Sevco we will half that and saying there are no old firm games, we will half it again, so how does

So if you dont get your own way Sevco are put into Div 3, you have just pretty much guaranteed any future deals will be at rock bottom, due to your view that all everyone care about is the OF, and the rest of us are well pretty much pointless.

 

This is the bit that. all emotion to one side, that is most incredible. They are weakening any bargaining position that may arise in the future. Absolutely have to go!

[dj_bollocks]

Ironic isn't it that THEY are destroying the game. Not the chairmen voting for integrity (that THEY should be upholding), not the fans standing up for what they believe in (THEY're shareholders, the ones that you know indirectly give them a job to oversee).

 

It really is time to get these cunts to fuck...
