They'll be back just the same way as they came back in '86 when Holmes brought in Souness. For years before that i went everywhere following Rangers never having to worry about tickets then suddenly within 2 or 3 years it was a struggle to get tickets for certain fixtures. I remember talking about this at a pub in Aberdeen before a game up there and 2 guys blaming me and my mates for all Rangers troubles in the early 80s for blindly following the team and not 'boycotting' the games .
You missed out answering the post before this one No8. Could you please respond?

As for the team i would be supporting...I suppose the new name could be Glasgow Rangers Football Club as many wrongly believe this to be our name anyway so it will make little difference.
There are posts from yesterday on this thread that strongly suggest a new club couldn't use the name Rangers for legal reasons. Would you therefore declare Govan FC to have won x championships etc and adopt Rangers history?

That is not true. There is a very good chance Rangers will be demoted to the 3rd division and the entire squad released from their contracts and we will be made to start from the bottom of the senior game in this country. If this happens it will not influence in anyway my attendance at the games..I will be there 100% behind the team and the Club..The thought of not going has never even entered my head. For footballing reasons that might actually be the best thing to happen to the game as a whole in this country for decades.
The Club? Which club though? If Rangers is liquidated and any new club can't use the name Rangers, which Club will you actually be supporting? Will you just deem them as Rangers and bestow Rangers honours and traditions upon them and carry on as if nothing had really happened?

It's no coincidence that the general quality of this thread dips markedly each and every time a Celtic fan decides to post on it. Maybe it's their unabashed joy at Rangers' predicament, or perhaps an innate anxiety that they might be next, but their enthusiasm in spouting pish left right and centre is ruining an otherwise highly entertaining read.
Beat it ya tinks.
Yep. It's the usual suspects with their usual tit for tat crap. I'm surprised it's taken this long to sink to such levels actually.

This site is excellent and tells you the debts of Rangers and all SPL clubs.
Falkirk? All SPL clubs? Exactly when was it excellent?

I refer anyone doubting it to post 10963. You cannot have a reasoned discussion with any bigot brother follower. They are, I'm delighted to say, on a different planet from the normal world.

Airdrie is the name of a town and I would assume any company based in a town could adopt the name of said town, Glasgow Rangers newco could adopt the Glasgow part of the name no problem but I think they'd struggle to justify using the Rangers part.
Going by the above, it looks as if the fact it is a geographical name wouldn't be a consideration. I suppose a company using the local name that went bust had already had their chance to use the city/town name and blown it.
The blue bigots aren't actually Glasgow Rangers. They are The Rangers Football Club I believe so if the above is right there is no way they could use the words Rangers again. Please.

Why were Aidrionians not allowed to use the old name and had to become Airdrie Utd?
(b)it is a name which is so similar to a name falling within paragraph (a) as to suggest an association with that company.
I would have thought that any name including Airdrie would be similar to Airdrionians and/or suggest association with them. My hopes are fading already.

I doubt if it is, to be honest.
I admit to knowing even less about such things than a Rangers fan, but surely this would have emerged before now. Is there not a distinction to be drawn between the name of the company and that of the team?
Middlesborough and Leeds have also emerged as NewCos, but without changing name.
I'd dearly love to be wrong on this, but I just don't see it.
Leeds was my first thought then also about the loads of dodgy double glazing and sofa firms that close down and re-emerge with apparent name variations. However a quick wiki showed that Leeds were never actually liquidated. Bates did his smoke and mirrors trick by manipulating administration. I didn't look any further admittedly.
I admit it does seem too good to be true though.

I'm not going to argue with bearwithme. He has his own entrenched view of the situation and anything posted here won't change his mind.
It's a waste of time trying to have a reasoned discussion/argument with any of the bigot followers. Entrenched view is an understatement.

So Newco Rangers can't use the word Rangers.
Oh please please please let it be true.

That's a very negative pic, not positive. The sun's going down on Rangers and there's a guy locking the gates on the club. That's death, not glory.
Excellent.

I do believe we have found a rallying cry for the new, improved* Govan Athletic!

* No money, no history, no Europe, no integrity.
I love the idea that I've seen suggested a couple of places. Really turn the knife by having one of the fast track SPL entry conditions as the name Rangers can't be used in the name of the newco. Just wipe the b*****ds off the face of the earth as much as possible.

The Big House is an expression that goes back to land-ownership in the slave trade and empire. It is where the planation owner lives. In Irish literary history it refers to a culture where landlords (often protestant in the more northern counties of Ireland) lived in the Big House on an estate. It's still used in some rural areas today, where the land owner lives in a 'Big Hoose' and his land labourers in smaller often tithed cottages. So its the bosses' house and the rest are peasants. Bit like the SPL.
So if you believe in democarcy and socialist equality Big Hooses should taken away from corrupt landlords - Spanish peasants used to garrote them whilst they slept . Although I think that's harsh I'd settle for the more business like act of liquidation.
Now it makes sense. Cheers.

Why the Big Hoose? I thought that was weegie for prison. Can't see them doing irony.

Presumably the political and religious editors should have been writing about the sectarianism, etc too.
These poor football writers...
Why are these football only journo's reporting on the administration and pending liquidation now then? Surely Chic Young should only be concerning himself with the footballing side of tomorrows game against St Mirren.

I think you know fine well what I mean.
Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean.

I don't know if you listened to Sportsound last night, but if you did, you would have heard Chico and Roddy Forsyth blaming the Business Editors, saying that it wasn't the job of football journos to look into the business side.
I didn't but I'm sorry, that is just a pathetic excuse. I would expect nothing less.
0 -
My thoughts exactly.
I'm not too bothered that someonelike Chick didn't ask the hard questions when nobody else was either- auditorsetc.It bothers me greatly. He is paid by the tax funded BBC, the organisation that spends millions promoting it's world wide news service as the last bastion of impartiality, so it is his duty to ask questions to help reveal the truth.
His failure to do this doesn't just show him up to be the snivelling little rat that he is but also highlights the BBC's failure to carry out it's tax funded purpose and reveal what they and the whole of the Glasgow, and probably Scottish, media undoubtedly knew.
The BBC are as guilty as sin as being part of what is a major institutional cover up of the goings on at Ibrox and shows how rotten to the core the public and private sector corridors of power in Scotland are.
History is one thing but it has now been taintedfor 20 years.So the first hundred or so years of blatant sectarianism is ok as they paid their billys bills? Every moment of this vile institution's history is tainted.

Hopefully it's the Liquidation Express' headlight as it hurtles towards them at 125mph
134mph would be poetic justice.

According to her Twitter she's a freelance journalist.
They'll just hire her for each job she does. It's quite a common practice with they media folk type.

The RFFF should get Mr Bhutta and the Milngavie Mini Mart wedged up pronto.
Don't shit on the really wee guys.
They're not. Mr Bhutta's 6ft 2.

Laughable stuff, but all it does is make it even more farcical and embarrassing when Rangers 1690 kick off in the SPL with everyone else next season.

Do you think you would fill your ground if you make the CL qualifiying pre qualifying round? I hope you lot make it ahead of United that would be unbearable, Lorraine would have a wide-on for weeks!
I would doubt it. I think United will end up 3rd but if by some chance we did qualify, I can't see Saints getting humped by the Moldovian runners up being too much of a draw no matter the competition.
Saints had better hope that the blue bigots don't liquidate and therefore need voted straight back into the SPL with the inevitable 'for' vote from Chairman Steve Brown as our current low crowds may suddenly start looking good in the aftermath.

Gretna 2008 apparently have 'no legal connection with the original Gretna FC' but they look to have wangled their way round it. Easier for them than Rangers though.
However, you have confirmed what was expected. No matter which club rises out of the ashes they will be Rangers in their supporters eyes, called Rangers no matter what the clubs name is and all the baggage will be transferred to it. Thank you.
