Rangers Liquidated

[SimonMac]

They wont go to the wall, the league existed before Sky did, and there are other providers that would pay for it. All that will happen is a tightening of belts.

They existed on the funds available at the time, they have got used to the TV money and have budgeted for having the money, how many clubs make a profit, let alone a profit to cover the money that SKY give them

I agree SM. The fact that Rangers have hundreds of thousands of supporters - millions worldwide - means that your scenario is more likely and it won't be long before Rangers are back in the top division in some form or other, possibly renamed as Glasgow Rangers or something. Financially it's a no-brainer for everybody in the Scottish league.

I agree SM. The fact that Gary Glitter has hundreds of thousands of supporters - millions worldwide - means that your scenario is more likely and it won't be long before Gary Glitter is back in the top ten in some form or other, possibly renamed as Gary Glotter or something. Financially it's a no-brainer for everybody in the Music Industry.

Why can't 1 million of those supporters chip in £100 each to buy club and deal with debt?

Because they are tight-fisted jocks.

It might also be pouring good money after bad, nobody is quite sure. And you won't get anything like one million takers.

They might end up with a fan-owned club. Some big clubs are owned by fans (i.e. members), famously Barcelona.

The problem isn't member-ownership itself, but getting there. Would you buy into something when you do not know the full extent of its liabilities and penalties? Could you imagine trying to herd and organise such large numbers of people for such a purchase? Who would front it?

If it's a small amount (few hundred quid) for a club that I support then yes, not a problem.

As investor to put millions - no way.

It's a big problem and very unlikely until all the liabilities are clear, and punishments and appeals decided.
