JohnGalbraith 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 To start with mid-table, but once the money started rolling (then maybe 3 years or so down the line) Rangers would be the biggest club in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalbraith 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 There's other ways of measuring the scale of a club that's nothing to do with winning Champions Leagues.

The fact of the matter is that everyone in Newcastle supports Newcastle (well the vast majority) but no-one outside of Newcastle supports Newcastle bar a few ex-pats dotted about the place. That makes them seen bigger than what they are. Newcastle is just about everyone in Newcastle's local team, see what I'm getting at? Name 15 other clubs world wide better supported than Rangers?

Bear 25 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I forgot we have no history In the Scottish leage. If i was to ask the arab lads and the indian lads at my work now about Rangers they would struggle to say anything, but if i was to mention an EPL, Spanish, Italian, Dutch team they would rattle off a converstaion about that no problem, same over in South Eat Asia.

Yeah, I appreciate that beacuse Argentina has a population of about 400 million. How many Boca Juniors supporters clubs are there in various places in the world like USA, Canada, Australia, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Dubai, Holland, Ireland, UK, Swedan etc etc like Rangers have?

I know you work all over the world. I dont think for one minute Sporting Lisbon, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Inter, Juventus and Barcelona are better supported than Rangers. Liverpool would come close to Rangers and Celtic are on a par with Rangers. Beacuse you see little kids running about streets with Arsenal and Chelsea and Barca tops on doesnt mean they support them clubs, its to do with marketing and the players they attract etc and the like. They are globally known through commericalism... which is something we can't do until we get into the Premiership which brings us back round to the initial point.

If Rangers joined the EPL with the local fan base they have they would automatically be propelled to super club status Why are you arguing about a future scenario based on the past? The arguemt is about the kid saying "Rangers would be the biggest club in the world 3 years after we joined" Naturaly we would increase the intrest in the club, we would hopefully get the right marketing team in which would tout us over the world, and our pre-seaons would take place in selective countries that love the EPL. This would have a knock on effect with the money coming in from TV money which in turn would mean we are an atractive investment for a rich Arab or Russian and we would go down the Chelsea road. But we would NEVER ever be in the top club status while we are alive. There's too many teams that have had those places cemented for decades and that aint gonna change much.
