Rangers Liquidation - A good thing possibly
Discussion
Having just read this on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17310468 . If Rangers did go into liquidation and then reformed as Rangers UTD (for example) could they not apply to the English league which from a business point of view would be a much better option. If they can cut the cloth they could be in the most lucrative league in the world within 2-3 seasons rather than fighting their way up from the Scottish third to be back at square one?
Is there a law that forces a new club to register with the SFA if they are in Scotland or the FA in England.

As I understand it they would be free to apply to the FA and its leagues, but would they let Rangers in?
If they did I think 2-3 years is a tad on the optimistic side. They would at a guess be put in the Conference National/Blue Square Bet Premier, so you would be talking their 5th year down there best case scenario, probably about 8 in reality, if they could get out of the Championship.
A good thing? Some might think so, I don't. I'd like to see the club continue with its history intact (blemishes and all), pay back its debts owed and rise to the top again through hard work.

If they can get out the championship??
I think you vastly overrate the standard of that league. It's competative but it's nothing more than that.
Rangers are not a Sunderland/Middlesbrough/Southampton. They are a giant club stuck in a small country.
On topic though, I never thought of them applying for the English leagues. That would be an interesting scenario though. It doesn't look like its going to happen though as it looks like they will have a buyer coming in.

Just trying to be realistic, who knows where Rangers would be starting from financially if they liquidate. I don't think it would be wise to assume they would just fly up the leagues without a problem then its all rosey once we've reach the dizzy heights of the Premier League.
I'm a Rangers fan but you have to be realistic about things.

Would it be a good idea of prospective buyers to let them enter administration, resurface as another team possibly able to enter the EPL?
Surely seems like a better business oppurtunity? More teams in the premier league, probably bigger crowds.
That's if they could enter the English leagues.

Mods, please move this thread to the dreamers and fantasists forum.
EPL?
Giant club?
End of the SPL?
Less competiition?
Deal between rangers and HMRC regarding ongoing tax case?

NAZI scientists invent time machine and travel forward to the early nineties in order to convince peg leg to set up EBT's (badly)?

But you're confusing the ability of a team with the size of the club. Two very different things.Note: I am not a rangers supporter

In what way is this picture relevant to this thread?
These topics really bring out the pond life.
Is this thread not about the possibility of a new Rangers club forming after the tax man gets his pound of flesh? Surely the picture is very relevant in that it shows that some Rangers fans clearly don't want to walk away from the wreckage.These topics really bring out the pond life.
I'll leave you and the rest of your pond life friends to argue amongst yourselves.
To avoid any confusion, I am not Celtic fan in any shape or form, just an honest tax paying citizen.

Trying to ridicule and humiliate people weaker than themselves is their way of compensating for their own lack of self esteem. In this instance it's not succeeded so the insect has crawled back under its rock. Hopefully it won't be back.
