Rangers Newco to play in 3rd Division.

[barrowmanandrew]

well its off topic,
but i do not think you can compare the situations like for like.

any money celtic fans put in (and they did dig depp) stayed at the club.

any money rangers fans would have put put in would have gone straight to the bank.

so not really like for like.

anyways, who is moaning?

afaik 80% of rangers fans preferred to start in the 3rd division rather that the 1st.
and rangers have stated they will not oppose the decision...

so everyone should be happy?
maybe we should agree to agree for once..

rangers fans had NO SAY WHATSOEVER in past irregularlities at the club.

on the other hand, SPL fans of other clubs have had a huge say in the punishment now dished out...

if the league goes tits up, then who is to blame?

Rangers have not been punished. Rangers are currently being liquidated.

A new club has entered the SFL and have not been shoe horned into the SPL or Division 1 of the SFL.

Which is how it should be.

Scotland has to wake up. That is one team gone and I see more following. As I said before we have to look at this as a starting point to get it correct.

All the best to the new club. I hope to see them back near the top soon otherwise it will be a sorry state of affairs.

im saying rangers fans laughed when they were told the club was heading for meltdown, laughed at the likes of the rangerstaxblog and philmac etc.. said it was nonsense
look at how celtic fans enforced change in 94, look at the people and numbers involved? not just a handful listening to bomberbrown on the steps 2 months 2 late!
so yes im saying rangers fans could have had a say but chose not to.

Totally different set of circumstances whyte had no intention other than putting Rangers into admin then his partners in crime duff and phelps into forcing them into liquidation.

The Rangers fans have been royally shafted by whyte and we will just have to live with that imagine if fergus had done what whyte has done then the boot would be on the other foot, and don't be suckered into this fans are everything nonsense they are just a convienant tool brought out every now and again by chairmen to bleed them out of more money.

well murray had them for sale for 3 years, whyte bought the club for 1p paying off 18m debts, surely a consortium of rangers fans together could have put a better offer on the table but they didnt, so you reap what you sow

would still be in the same position though.

any money would have gone straight to the creditors.

damage was already done..

disagree you would have been debt free, the 18m was never cleared as he raised the 18m through a loan from ticketus meaning it was then owed, so if a consortium invested 18m surely then it would be stronger than the likes of craig whyte running the club? rangers fans *could* have prevented liquadation but chose not to

[barrowmanandrew]

i think the 18million was the least of our worries..

anyways, we are way off topic

[colin mckenzie]

surely the root cause of why sevco will play in division 3 is on topic?

[barrowmanandrew]

aye it is,
but celtic ploughing money into their cub when rangers didn't and the reasoning behind it isn't.


so to get back on topic:

do you think rangers starting life in the 3rd division is the correct decision or not?

[PremierD]

Ok .. its settled then .. Rangers play in the third division .. and Celtic play somewhere else .. so lets all just live with it shall we .. I'm getting fed up closing threads and canning fuds who do not listen ...

its a difficult one, i guess to counter i would ask if it were hearts i would say 100% they should be in div3, so i guess using the logic rules should be same for Celtic and the old rangers, still will miss a glasgow derby game, obviously there will not be another old firm game again but a glasgow derby game will be missed.

Yes it is the correct decision even if it means a few clubs go to the wall as someone said u reap what you sow.

I don't know tho if it's as bad as they are painting it time will tell.
