Bye

PBN

an idea i would back however not sure about the legal and practical issues?

Very unlikely to even get off the ground.

Aye adios Zico,we will miss you.

I doubt anyone here has either the legal knowledge or other to say whether it would go or not.

As a newco, the only thing preventing us joining the English F.A. without question is the fact we're in Scotland, but that is not without precedent. Plus, being part of the UK and also the financial implications Rangers would bring to the leagues, I don't see it being a dead duck.

I'd hope those with the clout to start a newco and take on Rangers, would consider it.

PBN

do you think a newco joining the english FA is dependant on scotland being part of the UK? what do you think would happen if we gained independance?

Paisley

I have posted this before, the English FA don't and won't allow any of the old firm to join the English leagues. If Rangers do start again then the only place will be Scottish 3rd division as all the clubs will vote against you going straight back into the SPL

I would be very surprised if this didn't happen, but bottom line it gas to be a fair playing field.

English league will never happen

Jinky,

You might never WANT it to happen, that doesn't mean it won't.

Wee fat Salmond won't get independence, he's angling for more devolved powers and comfortable seat flying around the world meeting and greeting rich Arabs.

jinky


all clubs will vote for less tv income and gate receipts?

really?
dunfermline are friar tucked because of list cash from. 1 rangers game!

No EK, all clubs will vote to maintain the integrity of the league and trim their budgets accordingly. It will only be for 3 years and the impact of this is as yet unclear

Paisley

Be honest here do you honestly think that the English will just let you join the league with writing off your old debts

Sorry mate don't ever see this happening

Jinky

if we go newco then the english FA could not hold our previous financial dealings against us as this would have been a different company

arabian

integrity of the league??? aye very good

all chairmen will only have best interest of their own club t heart. when they vote.
no way will they write off millions as a matter of principal when majority are already on debt.

Jinky

I think you are forgetting this is a newco, although playing at Ibrox and with the history of the team behind them.

Legally they'll judge it on it's merits, and I hope we have someone looking at the arguments for it.

I would have an easier time supporting a newco if it was starting out afresh in the English leagues. We can accept the new chapter in our clubs history.

HenryRSC

Ra'cellick have been turned down umpteen times from entering said leagues. You seriously think they'll stand and wave you off at Carlisle on the justification that you went bust and they didn't? Think again.

"...Wee fat Salmond won't get independence, he's angling for more devolved powers and comfortable seat flying around the world meeting and greeting rich Arabs..."

I know a couple of guys working in Glasgow just now who he could cadge a lift off.

That is nothing more than your opinion EK and the sums do not equate to millions. Nowhere near. ALL clubs will survive regardless of whether Rangers phoenix in division 3 and there is no precadent for a club to be voted straight back into a top division.

If you liquidate, by far the most likely outcome is starting at the bottom again. To me that seems fair as that would be the case for any other club so why should you be any different?

In effect Jinky is correct

Why would England want us now and not before.

I would love to go but only Sky COULD SWING THIS.

And they would want THEM joining us

This wont happen.

IF we go newco and are granted entry by the english FA celtic CAN'T do a thing about it

Ekgersman

Now say the shoe was on the other foot I wouldn't expect Celtic to walk straight back into the SPL it would make a joke to all other teams, 3 years is nit that long if you keep getting promoted.as for loss of revenue I don't know as could make the league more interesting to the smaller team s playing for second or who know could give us a run for our money

Gates gave been down at other clubs because the old firm dominate if they have something to play for gates may improve

Nail on the head Jinky

arab

its only my opinion?????. everyone else on here stating facts then?

id happily go to div 3 , and watch club after club follow us.

like it or not the spl is nothing without rangers, tv, sponsorship and ticket sales will fall, I look forwrd to your demise as you try and pay your debts off with your integrity!

HRSC

You mean other than instantly announcing their own bankruptcy? And the EFA know it.

jinky

gates are down due to a global recession and people having to prioritise there outgoings.

unfortunately football is a luxary many people now can't afford

if rangers were to go in the 3rd division and start from there do you think clubs, celtic excluded, would maintain there current pricing knowing that they would be losing revenue from 1 half of the OF?? i can't see it myself...

I posted about this before and I for one would love it to happen, especially after the way our club has been treated by other clubs.

Our league is pretty toxic anyway right now.

All the Celtic fans saying it wont happen are merely stating their opinions and hopes and not facts.

As for saying we were rejected before. Yes we were rejected before to join the top divisions also we were rejected as Rangers FC whereby UEFA and FA were against it.

However if we start as a newco we start from day one. Under no FA banner of any country or under UEFA rules of country. We could apply to join the lower leagues of England as we are a fresh start, something the Celtic fans aren't getting.

Especially as the SPL is trying to put in place retrospective punishments (What a joke, would that be acceptable in any countries courts in the world?)

I would rather work my way up the English league and leave the rest to their own devices. We would lose Europe for 3/4 years anyway and promotion chase would be fun. We would probably get the same tv as we do now for our league.

The best of it is Celtic and their fans would be raging and they could not apply to join either unless they went bust.
