[Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!]

unfortunatley I think a couple of those on RM have a (unintentional) point

why exactly are all these chairmen falling over themselves to say no - they have not heard what the proposal is yet - there has been absolutely no mention of what sanctions would consitiute a yes vote & that, to my mind, in highly suspicious.

I put it to you all that there wont be a vote, the chairmen already know this so can happily say they'd come out & say no to gain favour with the fans

The SFA will steamroller in before the vote takes place & remove both the SPL & SFL from the picture, there will be not voting on it, it'll be like it or lump it (& by god will they f**king love it) Rangers will wnd up in whatever they decide is teir 2 as acceptance of the transfer of their SFA membership, the chairmen will say it was taken out of their hands & they had no choice.

read all the articles coming out, they are all hinting at it, a plan is being made, discussions are underway, top level meetings we are having the wool pulled over our eyes and the chairmen are praying enough people go 'ah well, it wasn't my chairmans fault so I can keep going' - ask your self this, before coming out & saying no, when was the last time your chairman was upfront, honest, public facing or seen to be doing something in the interests of the fans?

the deal is already done

Hi,

I've been following this thread for a while now without actually posting anything myself, but having spotted this last night, I felt moved to comment.

I don't know how many of you have spotted this, or paid it much attention, as there seem to have been a lot of people on here talking about which SPL teams will vote. Reading between the lines, I suspect that this poster knows what he's talking about, and indeed may even have some inside information.

This scenario looks as if it may well now happen, and if true, then I for one welcome this new socialist utopia.

Back in February when this whole saga kicked off I said that if this was the catalyst for major reform in Scottish football, then that could only be a good thing. And now it looks as if this may come to pass.

The unspoken point here is though, is that all of the changes being proposed:

• More even distribution of TV money
• Extra relegation/promotion between top two divisions
• One governing body running Scottish football

These are all things which should have been implemented anyway (as recommended by that report, I forget who wrote it now). Clearly, it grates these necessary changes are only now being affected due to the demise of Rangers, and in an ideal world they would be treated the same as any other club. However, for once I think we should look at the bigger picture.

All this is being done for the betterment of the Scottish game. If, as a compromise, The Rangers have to enter the league system a couple of divisions higher, then in my opinion that is a price worth paying.

Finally, it's good to see the SFA taking the bull by the horns and showing a bit of badly needed leadership. Oh, and another thing, possibly the best thing to come out of this, will be the fact that the running of the game will be taken out of the hands of club chairmen. That those cowardly and duplicitous men have sought to igratiate themselves with supporters courtesy of an abject lie, is possibly the most appalling thing to come out of this.
