I give up, your right, let's join the Vauxhal Conference tomorrow.

Yeah 50,000 plus in the Vauxhall Conference League paying £500 pounds for a season ticket - players like Kent, Hagi, Davis, Defoe, Borna willing to drop to that level and take a huge pay cut in the process ? 50,000 plus waiting 5 years at least (in reality it would / could take at least a decade) to get to EPL with no European football or cup runs and little or no TV coverage ? Not to mention how much money the club would lose via sponsorship deals, corporate hospitality and other commercial deals. All assuming UEFA, English FA and English Clubs agree. Where do I sign up?

Nothing short of delusion to be honest ?

Yeah and 50,000 fans are gonna turn up and watch Rangers play Solihull Motors, Torquay, Hartlipool etc ? UEFA would never sanction it, and neither would the 100's of English clubs awaiting entry into the English leagues.

No it wouldn't and you still not answered the UEFA question. More chance of playing in League of Ireland than EPL - top English clubs don't need Rangers it's as simple as that. Oh, more chance of Scottish clubs going "tits up" than English clubs.

What clubs going tits up? English football doesn't need Rangers sooner you wake up to that fact the better. UEFA would also be required to rubber stamp any move, so that's it scuppered before it's even started (unless English football is willing to forgo European football).

Not to derail the thread, but how do you suggest we get a fresh start in England , or any other national league for that matter? Genuinely interested.

This is a strange move by SFA given that their attempts to "bully" Hearts and Thistle in the court case were deemed unfair by the judge and specifically called out in his summery Desperate times and desperate measures?

Aren't we playing Hamilton today in a bounce game?

Horrible news - Scott attended a few of our RSC dances back in the day and is a great guy. All the best Nissy

Maybe a nicely worded statement from Rangers declining to contribute but giving £5K to a nominated charity (Erskine or such like). Said statement could also contain a line or two reminding everyone that we in fact offered to pay for a fully independent investigation into SPFL.... ??

2 negative stories in today's Daily Record regarding Celtic (boys club scandel) and Peter (too much influence in SPFL) - wonder if there has been falling out?

Worth a listen - sounds like civil war has broken out in SPFL https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08k2hln

RR likely to pull out of arbitration due to financial worries. They will confirm in 48hrs ?? http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2020/07/06/raith-chairman-admits-club-could-have-to-pull-out-of-legal-battle/?platform=hootsuite

https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/6503/CLUB-STATEMENT.html?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=dundeeunitedfc Sure I've got a few coppers I could spare..... not!

SPFL have publicly declared they are skint. A financial incentive at this stage is almost an admittion of guilt. League Reconstruction has been voted on and kicked out. SPFL are backed into a corner here and with the judge forcing them to make all documents available against their will and wishes tells it's own story ?

SFA to set up panel to hear Hearts/Thistle case. Panel to be overseen by independent Judge. SPFL motion to dismiss rejected. Judge rules that all documentation (emails, texts, chats, telephone calls) all made available to panel/investigation. Hearts / Thistle still have option to go back to court if not satisfied with outcome of SFA investigation.

Sure I read it was over 40K

Well that clears it all up and delivers a kick inn the nuts to MA and SD at the same time. Our deal is exclusively with Castore who will use outlets to maximise sales (more profit for them and us) which is completely normal business practice. If SD are one of those outlets, we have a simple choice - buy from SD or buy direct from RFC, Castore or any of the other retail outlets chosen / selected by Castore.

Apparently PL is off to Japan - All the best for future Peter and good luck to those joining / staying and promoted within the youth system.

If the rigged resolution had not been passed, Hearts and Thistle would not have been relegated. However as Bill said, their only motivation at this point in time is money. Whether a win in court for them would be the catalyst for change to handing out of tainted titles and change to leadership in our game is anyone's guess. A Hearts/Thistle compensation payout could be the trigger for a further court / legal case into the shambles that is governance of our game?

Listened to this yesterday, decent interview and hard to argue with Andy's fave games and his 1-11 team.

Good interview

But, but, but, what about the glamour friendlies Mr Nelms?

Heard them and Motherwell are scrapping their reserve teams and Hibs closing their academy - don't know how true.....
