reallyruff 622 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 as daviecooper01 states above I don't see much that is beneficial to Scottish football as a whole, or to Rangers as a club, within this decision. But as he further states we as a club are far from helpless for it is in our power as fans to deprive the other clubs of that which they crave, and in some cases that need is desperate, namely the Rangers pound. This shouldn't be seen as a clarion call for boycotts but simply a desire to support our club to its upmost financially by ensuring that every pound we spend goes to Rangers and benefits only Rangers.

NamibianBear 1,851 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You do know that the SFA have to act under the auspices of UEFA & FIFA? The SFA can determine which league is the top league and can decide what positions to award the Euro places for, or not.Any split which removed a chunk of the existing SPL plus a number of other teams could have a legitimate voice to be the top tier.Will never happen though, people will still trek along to a dying sport moaning about it, whilst the blazers make off with what cash is left.Can you really see the SFA deciding to give us a European place if they didn't have to?Me neither!

SoldierBlue1 499 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 In a word gogzy....no!i hope we don't accept no. The club or RRF should be taking legal advice on this and not just shrug our shoulders and carry on. IMO we will be judged in history for not standing up for ourselves. No surrender to the cabal.

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Told yous all this was always about the merger. The three leagues of 8 was just to keep folk from talking about what the real issue was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 So today they managed to get Rangers back under their banners and as part of any tv deals but they've also managed to get rid of Longmuir, the next few weeks shall be "interesting" to say the very least.

Dan Deacon 55,705 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 This says it all really Jim Ballantyne, president of the SFL, described the restructuring as a "takeover" rather than a merger."We are joining their company, their organisation," he explained. "They have swallowed us up. We could use nice words about it, but it is a takeover."It is very sad that the Scottish Football League has had to be a casualty but unfortunately we were left with one option."Did I want to see the end of the Scottish Football League? Absolutely not. Did I want to see football strive forward? Then yes. It will be for others to decide if this step takes us to where we want to go."

jamd1986 8 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Why do all these officials keep coming out to say "there was only one option"?Why was there only one option?!

TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Only in Scotland we could restructure the leagues from 12-10-10-10 to 12-10-10-10..............And we all thought the Irish were fucking daft Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
