Odds on now that we are dropping to SFL??

Am I missing something here? Is Green anti-Rangers and on the look out to ruin the club or something?? If not then this is self destruction! First we're up against the rest of Scottish football and now the levels of internal fall out is staggering! Blackmailing Green to sell on the cheap with season ticket sales and sponsors pulling out is shocking! Id expect the SFA, SPL and other clubs to pull this sort of thing out but not people who want wants best for Rangers. I want Walter to head the club with big backing he has set up but give Green a good deal so he can walk away with a few quid profit and lets move on!!

I hope Green has met a few fans in the street that share the same sentiments as Gav's opening post so he realises there are a large number who appreciate him. I jumped on thread the other day about the plot to rid McCoist but did state my opinions only stand if the story was true....but it was likely more media nonsense.

The SPL option would depend for me. If its a straight vote then they allow us back in then thats obviously where we want to be. But if they only vote us back in due to the TV money excuse then they can jog on and Id prefer the SFL. Being in Div 1 or 3 is possibility....Putting us in Div 1 gives the so called fans of other clubs the satisfaction of seeing Rangers relegated and not getting off but at same time probably only stops the income of TV and attendance for only 1 season. But Im inclined to start again in Div 3 and have the rebuilding process of a fresh start. We wont have European football if we stay in SPL so why not run up the leagues while we cant play European football. At the same time the SFL clubs like Alloa, East Stirling get a nice pay day and we can be seen as helping them out rather than lining the pockets of Dundee Utd, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen for 3 years.

Russia probably took the foot off the peddle a bit after winning 4-1 in the first match. I prefer to use goal difference first rather than head to heads but thats the rules and Greece from absolutely no where end up going through.

Will miss the matches as I'll be on a flight.....but fancy Ukraine 1-1 France and Sweden 2-1 England

And I still havent had a flutter in this tournament...no wonder Im up on predictions.

They can go on display and we start again with triangles on future titles. We'll still overtake the others bar Celtic before the decade is out.

Agreed. Feel bad for Ally for what he has done in the last few months. Really need to hear the reasons. But Ive a feeling we wont hear the real reason until Ally releases a book in about 10 years time.

Redknapp is available.......heard he's partial to a wee tax dodge here and there!

Unbelieveable. I am pretty shocked.

Please update this ASAP....I cant view SSN from this point of the globe! Only Sky news. Muchas.....

Some teams will eventually be relying on Sketches rather than Cameras!

Agreed! But if they do want to replace him then do it properly and not in a plot (if the article is true of course!!).

Ive always said he needs a stronger Assistant and we could see a much better Ally. But If we had just finished 2nd in the league 3 pts behind Celtic, not in Administration and were looking at a change of manager who is much better Id agree with you, but who on earth could possibly replace McCoist with a team thats about to be liquidated! Im baffled by your stance of not realising the situation.

I dont think he did brilliant or poor, just OK. He had an awful start but then a fantastic run between Octo and Christmas then the shit hit the fan. Yes he made some poor tactical decisions along the way. But he lost Lafferty, Naismith and Jelavic for half the season and couldnt replace them....how can you cover that! But your missing my point, I already said if a change of manager happens for a better replacement then so be it...(although Id keep Ally but bring in a Better No.2 than McDowall)....its the manner of the way he could quit is what Im getting at. I hate backstabbing especially to someone who doesnt deserve it.

The fixture lists come out on Monday. Some team is going to be looking at that thinking they have Rangers at home first game....only for it to be swapped for Dundee or Dunfermline if we drop out....I hope they enjoy their afternoon with 128 fans in the away end rather than 2000 - 4000.

I'll wait until I hear something official from Ally's camp. Id be STUNNED if this is true! Does the Green camp feel like they need another challenge or something!! On a footballing side of view Ally has done OK but hasnt been given a full season to prove himself without having hands tied. Off the field he has been the glue holding staff and players together and showing nothing but dignity.....no way would he deserve to be back stabbed....if its true (the plot against Ally) I cant see how Green can have the respect of any fan. Of course its his choice who he wants as manager but do it to Allys face FFS. Again, I'll wait until its official though.

This guy is a true Gent in every fashion, and he just happens to be our best player ever!! Some people on here was commenting about how Rangers men arent coming forward with cash, yet it takes a Foreigner the first to want to contribute something, whether Laudrup means be a fund or by coaching - regardless he wants to help!

Now we'll get the reaction from chairmen and fans "Sky blackmailed us into keeping Rangers in the SPL....if it was our choice we'd have kicked you out". Sorry but I hope we apply to play in the SFL more and more now.

The SPL could be in for a shock, they had numerous chances to restructure the league and have a 16 team top flight which would be more competitive and even more so if we drop to Div 3. Ive said all along they will kick us as much as possible despite still trying to gain profits out of us, they will have the nerve to hit us with as much punishment and penalties as possible but keeping us in the SPL to save TV money. But id rather see us in Div 1 or 3 than in the SPL with a 20pt deduction and playing a youth team.

The England speculation ruined his momentum at Spurs, then not getting into the CL was a massive blow, unfair and unlucky IMO. But Redknapp has admitted he doesnt like the Europa Cup so I think that had a baring. Chelsea just appointed Di Matteo yesterday, wonder if Roman will do a U-turn and go for Harry instead. If Spurs go for home based manager can only see it being Moyes. But I think they will go for a big name European manager.

Tonight: Italy 2-1 Croatia Spain 4-0 Rep Ireland

Pete, you were absolutely spot on. Know idea how the Dutch can go from so good to so bad. The Germans are class though, they are playing in 2nd gear and still not looking like dropping points. The Dutch can still go through though, if they beat Portugal and Germany beat Denmark....but cant see it.

First day Ive had no predictions right. Tonight is tough!! Im going for Denmark 1-1 Portugal and Holland 2-2 Germany
