andy steel 0 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thinking about this option (my favourite, just coz I want something new and would love to get away from them for a while) seems like we'd be obliged to go with young players; but how many seasoned pros coming to the end of their careers could we tempt back for a one season payback to the club? Thinking of lee McCulloch atm, but maybe also Barry if Blackpool didn't go up (he's done OK for an English league failure, ain't he?). Doesn't even have to be players of that calibre; likes of Darryl Duffy would do nicely at that level, if he fancied it, or (whisper it) Kenny Miller for a 3rd go? Just a thought to get away from the misery of takeover confusion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,148 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think moving to SFL3 has some positives but apart from the obvious romance, I'm not sure how it would work. I'd rather retain our SPL place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guardian Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I would only want us in the SPL if we weren't crippled. Points deducted so we can't win it, no euro place, no transfers and handed out 25% of anything we do win. How many times can we be punished for the same thing. Thats like someone stealing a loaf, getting caught and fined £1000, their house sold off, given a few good beatings, a 3 year jail sentence and 5 years community service, then put on the sex offenders list. Unless these "punishments" are made a bit more sensible, the 3rd div looks just as appealing as the SPL, if not more. It'll never happen though as the smaller clubs would be staring at oblivion, especially as ESPN are threatening to walk away from the UK. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Yes, yes, but what about potential players? Out of contracts, mid to late 30s, with a Rangers history who could write their names into a unique (it better be unique) period in our history?

stewarty 1,876 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How about Gough, Laudrup, Albertz, Goram. Supplement with kids. Add in a Jig and we're walking SFL3! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
