I wonder where this places those want to punish Rangers for integrity reasons?

 

How can anyone punish the club and fans for being the victim of a crime?

Put money on it, they will do their best.

The 50% sharing of gates is a complete non starter! When was the last time an away club came to Ibrox aiming to make a game of it, excluding the orcs, nonone. Why should I pay for this?

We carried Naithsmith for two years while he could'nt kick a ball. Thanks very much for heehaw.

Their agents should be aware that one day we will be buying players and maybe not those represented by them.

Ground Zero, the rebuilding and the fightback must begin now.

This is a shoddy, shabby and tawdry agreement which fails to recognise the difference between integrity and hypocrisy. I really don't like it.

by the time we get back in other clubs will be taking half our home gates and a share of our euro revenue.

I'll go along with away teams keeping the revenue from ticket sales to their own supporters, and that applies to us as well. Anything more I will not accept.

I know the financial arguments against it ,but SFL3 for me. I really can't take any more of this hypocrisy masquerading as "Sporting Integrity". Rangers as a club will survive. Others may not.

The Dundee Utd statement is being widely reported as a NO. No real surprise.

That doesn't mean we should take the final decision out of their hands. If they vote against us playing in the SPL and a couple of clubs end up in administration it'll be the leagues' fault, not ours.

Yeah, make them swallow their own poison.

This does not feel right to me.

Is there any hint of Andrew Ellis being in the background of where we are now? Location, Location, Location. Murray park!

Credit where credit is due Green stepped up to play where others didn't.

No investor is going to commit themselves until we know where we stand.

More than a wee bit to think about in that post, thanks for that it was a good read.

If we were suspended for a year do they think that we will go off and watch other teams, I won't.

Surely hearts are the next team to go? Are they not on the edge anyway? Less money from tv and rangers games will hit them hard

I think we still owe them quite a bit on Lee Wallace and as things stand they may never see it.

This seems to be coming from the SFA more than it is from the SPL...I just don't understand why they would go along with this so meekly. They are the body that stand to benefit or lose the most in all this. It leads me to think that Doncaster and Regan are cooking up a plan to avoid dealing with the whole situation at all by forming a new league structure including Rangers.

But with Rangers at what level? Any thoughts?

I don't get the Division 1 option? Who drops out of the current Div 1 to accomodate us?

2 promoted maybe?

I want to hit back against the cant and hypocrisy so sfl 3 for me.

The X Factor is going to come home to haunt the SPL teams in the future.

If the sfa can carry over punishments to the new co from the old one then surely this is an acknowledgement that the team is still the same one

That's a very good argument.

According to twitter, this bid is being led by Walter Smith.

Yes, we need to know what sanctions we face before applying for membership of the spl as a newco. I quite like the idea of starting off again in the SFL in division 3 and becoming the first club to win all 4 Scottish league titles.

There is a certain attraction to beginning next season in Div 3, we could then become the first club to win all four divisions in Scottish football.
