NewCo's

There has been a lot of talk recently over Rangers losing all their history if they go down the newCo route in terms of losing previous achievements and accolades. Can I ask if fans on here genuinely believe this would be the case with Rangers? Would the media and the press automatically 'forget' the Laudrups and Gazza's? the 9 in a rows and the 140 years of history?

And if the answer is yes, where is the evidence of this happening to large clubs before? I have copied in two links for information, both of clubs who have been bankrupt and set up a complete new club - Leeds Utd and Fiorentina. In the case of Fiorentina, they did not exist for months after first bankrupt, yet look at the history page?

The second of these pages is the actual Uefa website.

Rightly or wrongly, I can't help but think this whole period - even if we liquidate and start again, would be consigned to history. It will barely be remembered in years to come, with the exception of the fact I think it will be followed by a long barren period of miserly spending and sparse success.


Whats everyone views here? If we reform as Glasgow Rangers 2012, playing in Ibrox and managed by Ally McCoist, will we be a new club with no history and trophies? Or will we do a Leeds and a Fiorentina? I appreciate its a very contentious issue and will be debated long after the dust settles here.
