Rangers appointing an Administrator.

[TheFaQQer]

Celtic and Rangers can match the top english clubs in terms of gate money and merchandise.

The only difference is the quality of the football played.

They should also be forced to play in pink leotards with a print of King Billy being rogered by Graham Norton.

So, if you took the Sky money out of English football, what do you think the standard would be like ?

You'd like it if it did.

Without the old firm rivalry, what is left of the league? Where are the big games of the future going to be? How is the SPL going to attract top players? Who is going to pour money into the game from a sponsorship perspective? Don't Celtic fans need Rangers around. As a real outside observer, seems like a pyrrhic victory of sorts.

As a non Old Firm Scottish football fan, i'd like to see the back of both of them. Sure, the Sky TV money, such as it is would be reduced and clubs would have to live on gate money and although the standard may drop in the short term, there would at least be competition. F**k both of them. Two cheeks of the same arse in my opinion

All that, and without them, Motherwell would win the SPL this season

Even as it stands the SPL does not attract really top players, and there is relatively little sponsorship money from TV companies.
My best guess is that some phoenix version of Rangers will emerge from the wreckage of all this and rise back to the top of the game in as little as a few years.
But for now I am simply going to celebrate. Not our fault they overspent money that was not theirs, and they fully deserve whatever is coming to them.
My team has lost a number of closely run league titles due to the fact that Rangers have been fielding expensive players that they have bought immorally with our taxes. Serves them right, and the same goes for any other teams that operate this way.

[MarillionFan]

Rumour going round that Rangers will be pulling out of the league and signing up for the Conference.

But only if Hearts go bust too. And on that topic......................
