BroonBear 696 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Since it seems that other clubs are giving their fans the power to decide whether or not The Rangers should be accepted back into the SPHell, is it not about time that Mr Green gave us a vote to see if we wanted to be back in it?I for one say we go to division 3 and f#ck the rest of the diddy teams!!It's funny how the boards of the other teams are allowing their fans to make what could be the biggest decision Scottish football but i can guarantee they won't be giving their fans the power to make other big decisions!!No more bending over or pandering to the SPL or SFA!!

marvinsmarvels 13 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'm wondering why the clubs dont give the fans a say on who they sign, you kow the manager gives a list to the chairman, the chairman puts the cash up but before hthey are able to sign him they should then put it to the fans if they should sign him or not, and if they say no them it doesnt happy, or even better the fans are able to recommend a replacement signing that the chairman and manager cant refuse and must try everything possible to sign him.

Gregor Stevens Fan Club 42 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Green is not involved with the vote - D&P have that honour.Going on their past incompetancies, I'm not sure they would have voted "Yes" anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'o'rangerblue 89 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's mob rule, a cop out for chairmen so that when it all goes tits up they can say it was the fans decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyc06 6,916 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It won't matter anyway, 4 have come out and said they'll be voting no, and that leaves just one more club to say no and we wont be in the SPL anyway!Mr Liewell isn't 1 of the 4 to say no already so that'll be that then! What would be he point in asking us now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 He's a businessman and businessmen want to make money.If he passed the vote to us it's obvious how it would pan out but I'm sure Green wants the SPL simply because we will earn more money.

North Rd 2,860 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 They better hurry up if they want into Div 3 or they will be too late. We might end up suspended for a year the way this has been dragging out also....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroonBear 696 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 The point would be to show that we do not want to go to the First Division just so the rest of the SPL teams get to keep the SKY money. Without it, they are f#cked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney 241 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Said it a million times, we need the SPL to be as high a standard as it can be. We need the SPL in order for us to thrive. This whole "fuck the SPL and fuck all the clubs" stance, although I understand and agree with the sentiments, the logic just isn't there. We are a Scottish club. If the Scottish league fails, what becomes of us? The same thing that would happen to Barca without the Spanish league, or Manchester United without the EPL. 1st Division is a sensible compromise. Allows the SPL to keep sponsors and TV money (which we need as much as the "diddy" teams) and let's the other clubs have their moment of glory. 3rd Division would be the death of the SPL and thus, the death of us. We need to stop putting our hatred (albeit justified) against the SPL and it's members ahead of our own well being. 1st Div for me, back within a year, and then pump them on the pitch. 3rd Div would end us.

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I and some others on this forum have been saying we must go to the third div now.I'm included in that elite grouping.Div' 3 is the only salvation. We'll have served our sentence (justified or not) and have been punished beyond comparison to any other club that has suffered an administration event. The upside of this is that we will be witnessing (from a distance) the SPL implode as sponsors and TV executives run for the hills leaving this discredited crew to their own Hell.Administration of at least three other SPL clubs will hit long before season 2012-13 is over and I'll be watching with eagle eye how they deal with the clubs who do suffer that indignity.I want Charles Green (or the Duff & Phelps twins) to stand firm and tell the rest "Fuck You! We are applying to start from scratch at the SFL Division 3!"Anything less is a 'take-it-up-the-arse' compromise and that is unacceptable.

I see where you are coming from, but what happens when we get back to the SPL? If the product has deteriorated to the extent that there is no sponsors or TV deal, that will hurt us also. Now, I'd hope that we weren't dependant on sponsor/TV income after three years out of the SPL, but if we ever want to compete in Europe again we need our income to be maximised from revenue sources such as these.

test-icicles 8 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 As much as i agree that they are not on our side and go to division 3 blah blah blah. Division 3 would be catastrophic for us...who is to say we would definitely win promotion every year? and if and when we get back up who is to say scottish football won't be such a mess that our club will be greatly depleted anyway...As much as i think the sanctions that will be put on us will be hell if we are in spl next year...we need them just the same as they need us .

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So are we.I disagree.Rangers FC in the 3rd Division would still attract a TV audience. It would be a case of "the big guy who was hammered and returned to fight another day" scenario. Rangers playing as pool tournament would gurantee a TV audience - and the and are worldwide. The Bears will stick with the team as we climb from the 3rd, to the 2nd, then the 1st Division and by long before that time the SPL as we know it will be a busted flush.Do I care?Do I fuck.The replacement of the SPL (whatever it's called) will 'magically' (aye right) manage to include this newco Rangers FC because they will have realised long before then that without us they are fucked.We will have a strong voice at the table of this revised top division because we'll have served our penance and not one of these bastards can say otherwise.'No' to Div' 1. Fuck that - let's call their bluff NOW!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok all them on here saying Division 3 , have they ever thought about playing at Ibrox on a winter night against (No Disrespect) Stirling Albion etc ... Ive been there, wore the t shirt, lit bonfire on terracing etc...It will be the end of Scottish football, We need to be in a strong SPL or Div 1 for one season ( and thats if they let us in there) or we could go back to only 12000 attendances at Ibrox.
