Rangers to go into Administration

[bocadillo]

... it's still an absolute joke that they could wipe out their debts, reform, but still be in the same place (albeit with some penalties applied).

Did you think it was a joke when City went through the same process and no penalties were applied?

It is the whole of footballing finance that is a joke and Rangers are nothing unusual in that respect.

Rangers could just go straight back into the SPL? How much of a joke is Scottish football? An ever-increasing one.

I know nothing that occurs north of the border can rightly be described as football, but is there any reason for the 'rugby-union' bit in the link?

Looks like an editorial tagging mistake to me. Probably made some developers afternoon a pain in the arse.

12 month transfer embargo, Craig Whyte banned for life from Scottish football, various fines handed out totalling several hundreds of thousands of pounds.

In the shit springs to mind.

I was just reading this, apparently they're Scotland's biggest club and the SFA should be helping them (according to the ever-more-desperate Mr Whyte)

Rangers to be liquidated was Re: Rangers to go into Administration

HMRC refuse to allow Company Voluntary Arrangement on account of the level of tax evasion. Rangers will be liquidated.

In recent weeks clubs have expressed the dilemma they face: Rangers' presence in the SPL brings revenue through the turnstiles and from broadcast deals, but many fans have said they will not return if "sporting integrity" is not seen to be upheld.
These supporters have been in contact with their clubs to demand that they vote against Rangers playing in the SPL next season. Their preference is for Rangers to apply to join the Scottish Football League and to start again in the Third Division.
HMRC said that the sale of the club "is not being undermined, it simply takes a different route".
In a statement it said: "Liquidation will enable a sale of the football assets to be made to a new company, thereby ensuring that football will continue at Ibrox.

Can anyone see this happening?

Why doesn't Rangers join an English League?

Can't imagine the other sides wanting to half the number of meaningful fixtures in their season.

Sky agree

The Glasgow giants face being thrown into Scotland's Third Division if they head into liquidation and re-form as a new club.
But Sky has a financial gun to the head of the SPL: the Daily Record claims that the broadcaster will pull the plug on its £110 million deal to show Scottish football if Rangers head into the fourth tier.

That all depends on what you mean by 'meaningful'

that's 3 votes so far to throw Rangers out, 2 more and they start in league three. it does seem strange that Rangers are allowed to vote though, surely it was the old club that was a member of the Scottish Prem

The thought is that they'll actually start in League 1 in all probability for policing reasons.

Complete raving loony barely does him justice. He's from fruitcake city, that's for sure. He doesn't care a feck what he says, does he. Great stuff.

Eh?

There'll be some juicy away fixtures against the likes of Bannockburn Rovers, Culloden United and Flodden Field Academicals.
