Bobby_F Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Sadly they're that daft. Someone needs to make a giant cardboard blender and get it photographed outside Murray Park on Monday MornIng. Cardboard? Surely balsa wood would be the material of choice - at least if you remember Saints On Line circa 2000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Good morning fellow party goers. Sunday seems to be a day of rest for us all at this time of glee and happiness, what this really means it's time for you to stock up with beer, popcorn, sausage rolls etc.... This was a very nice notion from Diddle & Don't administrators to give us this precious time to recoup & restock. So everyone, have a great day shopping...................remember the party not stopped, it's only getting started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikyerbouti Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Nothing much to add except to show how universal the glee is throughout this big bad world. Anyway i am off to my bed now and dreaming of liquidation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Here's a thought. Saying that rangers do eventually go into liquidation and a newco comes along. Surely this would have to happen sooner than later as the newco would have to be registered, approved, have all player registrations, evidence of where they will be playing etc, etc before whatever league deadlines are in place before the arrangements are made for next season? Possibility of absolutely nooooooo rangers at all next season??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bids come in and they can Liquidate the club on the 17th..surely not?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The truth is out there..............possibly on one of the computers that was removed from ibrox a couple of days after administration and has disappeared. Think there is always going to be a lot more going on than what the administrators are relaying. If this is what they're doing then they're not doing the job very well. You wonder how much info the wee creditors are getting from duffus and doofus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatwad Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Two interesting pieces in The Record today. One insinuating at least ten are going tomorrow and the first real mention of liquidation and sactions. Lolz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordHawHaw Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The cesspit is full and overflowing, all depends on the guts of the SPL / SFA in draining it and see what lies at the bottom, think we've only heard a very small amount of whats being going on at Rangers for decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ah yes.... St Paddy's day! Exactly what I was thinking....surely not even the administrators would be so daft as to place Rangers into liquidation on St. Paddy's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Dogma Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Will it? Or will their fans bugger off to Airdrie, Dundee, Hearts, Linfield and St Mirren as oft times before? Or sit in Binghams watching the Chelsea games? On past showings, that hard core support doesn't exist except in their own fantasies. They're an ego trip more than a football club to 99% of their "fans". There's no way any Rangers fans would stomach two years without a national trophy, let alone four. First they have to get in, and being a brand new club without 3 years audited accounts, I can guarantee that Spartans would be on the phone to UEFA faster than you could say "nice try!". Secondly, where's the money going to come from to run this "new" Rangers? The fans? That's a laugh. They expect the council or the Scottish parliament to bail them out as its an "institution". A business consortium? Ibrox costs a small fortune to run, and the SFA can't bail them out the way they bailed Queen's Park out for their White Elephant (in their case they had the excuse of it being the national stadium and pending new HQ, as well as QP being amateurs and thus zilch threat to the pro-teams), they simply haven't got that kind of money to flush away anymore. You'd be talking a good solid four years of losses before reaching break even upon entry to the SPL, and hoping the other SPL clubs haven't strengthen during that time. You only have to look at Linfield being forced into looking to vacate Windsor Park because despite winning the Northern Irish league almost every year and goodness knows what else, despite being used for internationals, their crowds have dwindled away to the point their ground is too big for purpose and a financial drain. A "phoenix" club isn't going to happen when for a fraction of the cost any canny investor could stick the money in one of the other SPL clubs and see a return within two years. yeah, im coming to the view that unless there was a guarantee of immediate entry to spl...then a phoenix club simply isnt viable. who in their right mind would be willing to incur 3 years of massive losses...murray couldnt sell the club when it had champions league money guaranteed... even the i dont see rfc2012 getting enough votes for entry to spl..even assuming that all the logistics of restarting a club could be arranged which is by now means certain. liquadation looks more like a final solution than ever before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 They have a substantial core support. And even if Ibrox wasn't obtainable or sustainable whilst in SFL, they could get a lease with Partick, or at somewhere like Scotstoun. I'd be amazed if the outcome of all this is no continuation of Rangers in some form. There are many businessmen who support Rangers and it's clearly possible to devise a set-up which breaks-even or makes money... and I'd be really surprised if no-one tried. Their problem would be if they weren't let to stay in SPL. That'd mean having to either: [1] buy-up an SFL club, and register a new ground in or around Glasgow; or [2] buy-up a non-league SFA member and apply for the SFL3 vacancy. It'd be interesting to see whether a club like Cowdenbeath... part-timers, on-track for promotion to SFL1, ground issues, low fanbase, owners aren't fans (IIRC)... might fall under the radar of a potential revival movement. If SFL failed I'm sure you'd get a supporter-led club going West Junior, although that presents massive headaches for the Junior authorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBairn Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I thought the Police had issues about policing the Rangers games as there was no guarantee of them being paid. I presume that must've been sorted out, was it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What scottish club would be daft enough to sell their soul away? If they attempt this, i'd imagine every club telling them to GTF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if Ibrox wasn't obtainable or sustainable whilst in SFL, they could get a lease with Partick If anything like this happened, a hefty amount of Thistle's core support would throw a shitfit and refuse to renew season-tickets/attend matches while FC Rangers 1690 are tenants at Firhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 What scottish club would be daft enough to sell their soul away? If they attempt this, i'd imagine every club telling them to GTF. One facing problems itself, and not under the control of a fan with emotional attachment. Examples include Clydebank FC, Wimbledon FC. If anything like this happened, a hefty amount of Thistle's core support would throw a shitfit and refuse to renew season-tickets/attend matches while FC Rangers 1690 are tenants at Firhill. Glasgow Warriors are leaving next season for Scotstoun. I think it's unlikely, but what if the choice was Rangers as tenants - or even more budget cuts? People always talk of fan boycotts, too, but it takes a pretty big issue and pretty big disillusionment for fans to start boycotting and harming their own club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
