nvager 498 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Does a "new" Rangers start in the 3rd Division or in the SPL?Can the SPL survive without us? A lot of the smaller teams are struggling and an SPL with no OF games will get no TV money and attendances will plummet. It is in their interest to let us back in.

TeamHero 62 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'd love to make everyone in the SPL eat there words and head to the Third Division and give the clubs down there my money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alnic3856 358 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 If you believe SSN,Dunfermline can't pay there players due to one missed Rangers gate. Lieshman was on the telly earlier saying it's more to do with a postponed killie game and some storm damage. So make your own mind up, If every single club could afford to lose 2 of these gates per season as well as reduced tv income. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVB 2,560 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 3rd Division would suit me fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshireger 523 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 We would be allowed back in I imagine, if the worst does happen. A lot of the smaller teams are already being affected. Dunfermline couldn't pay their players wages apparently because they haven't received money, added to the fact Sky don't want to show an noncompetitive competition, means teams will lose even more cash. Teams will look at that and would be forced to say yes I would think since money talks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,017 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'd at least have a better chance of playing for Rangers if they were in the 3rd division. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the smaller teams are struggling and an SPL with no OF games will get no TV money and attendances will plummet. It is in their interest to let us back in.Good questions. The obvious answer on the other SPL clubs is...no. The SPL cannot afford the loss of Rangers due to the situation with TV rights. Should we cease to exist, then the deal with SKY defaults, as opens up SKY to ending the contract early. That deal ending would have a systematic influence on all SPL clubs as they are dependent on this revenue, along with the Old Firm away day revenue as shown today, sadly.Wether the SPL has much choice in this matter is another question, as if the shoe was on the other foot, i'd ask questions if another club got special treatment regardless of its influence.In relation to the a "new" Rangers - that depends on the SPL 'ticket' - the other eleven SPL clubs must vote YES to a new club claiming the current Rangers ticket. If not, then it's open to suggestion where we could end up.Is it in the interests of them to let us back in, worst case scenario? absolutley. Will they think that now? Not a chance. That is what would promptly end the league as we know it now and turn it into a glorified Irish league.All my opinion, of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,197 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 As I said earlier on, if the choice was demotion to Div3 or 3 season with reduced points I would climb up from Div3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
