Rangers newco will not get Hearts vote, says Vladimir Romanov

[southpaw83]

Pretty much par for the course clubs voting against it now

The fans in Scotland have spoken - sporting integrity must win.

I wish the new club Rangers all the best in applying to Div 3. Hopefully the newco will be able to sort out the current mess with season tickets and banking facilities etc in order to apply for the new season.

Ibrox season ticket renewal money is being paid into and held by the soon-to-be-liquidated 'oldco' Rangers. Oh dear, someone has made another massive ricky as this money will be swallowed up during the liquidation process!

From bad to worse

It's quite conceivable that there will be no Rangers in any league next season. There is a real lack of leadership at the club borne from years and years of expectation.

A vast percentage of the support only appeared when Sounness arrived so they have had an easy ride up until now. They just have no idea how to mobilise the support.

I'm of the opinion that there'll be no Rangers in any form playing next season also, drawn out legal wranglings and another change or two in ownership before joining SPL2(after league reconstruction) the following season.

Lets face it, the mob in charge at the moment are ~~~~in clueless, they couldn't even change the accounts so that anyone daft enough to purchase a season book would see their cash go to the newco, now we have an investigation into Duff and Phelps who have been draining whatever they could from what was left of the finances, its an immoral mess and could well see the long term demise of the business!

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Hearts and Dundee some of the clubs that failed to pay there players wage's on time last season, and that was with Glasgow's big 2 supporters at them match's.

Well I don't know how they will cope season when you only have 1 (looking likely it will only be Celtic) at there grounds. I would say that most of the SFL clubs depend on both Glasgow clubs and there away support to keep them running for a while, lets face it when none of the Glasgow clubs play any of the other SFL teams including Hearts an Dundee there grounds are almost empty.

One thing you forgot to mention.. Hearts and Dunfirmlin didn't pay their players wages in part (and largly in Dunfirmlin's case) to Rangers owing them money. You mentioned Dundee (Utd) who Rangers also owed money to along with Celtic and Caley.

So you are saying without Rangers the SPL clubs will toil ?

I think what he means is that they would have been bettered served and will be better served in the future doing business with more financially stable and honest football clubs

Yes I think what happened last season proves that the clubs will toil, however they will have to make the right decision based on what is morally right and cut their cloth accordingly. If sky pull out as a result then it might be long time before we see them investing in Scottish football again and that would be a major worry for our game.

[skegsagypsy]

Sky have stated categorically that they have no intention of pulling out of the SPL regardless of the situation of The Rangers fc plc .

[nara]

however they will have to make the right decision based on what is morally right

Let's hope so.

Got to be the 3rd division, as for Sky they may not walk away but remains to be seen how much they will be willing to pay the SPL without 1 of the Old firm.
