calscot 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have no opinion on Leeds. Could care less about them. If you COULD care less, you DO care somewhat about them - so how much? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No one is asking you to love Leeds Utd they were just an example in a debate. If you are only going to debate with blinkers on for things happening around you then you will only see what you want to see and that certainly won't be the big picture. But i've paid no attention to them, and don;t intend to, they play in a different country 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Couldn't not go and support Rangers as has been said on here it's more than just a team, it's part of mine and my families life it's the first and last thing I talk to my kids about, its the only thing I fall out with the wife about (she has some queer ideas on team selection). I can't imagine not getting up on a Monday and not thinking how long is it till Saturday and the Rangers game. Rangers are part of my whole world without them a big part of me would die. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The became a newco through liquidation but are still Leeds & their history remains intact. I want a CVA in place but I'm comfortable knowing that any newco event would not result in losing 140 years history as Rangers football club, as an entity, would still exist regardless of the name of the company that owns the rights to the name. Although we would probably endure 140 years of abuse 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannochsidebear 2,352 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The big difference between us and Leeds is European football. Leeds were not in a qualifying position for Europe, far less the fortunes of the CL. We are, every season, likely to be in a position to qualify for the CL or EL and the money that goes with it. A liquidation of RFC means an AUTOMATIC 3 year Euro competition ban. Think what 3 years of no Euro football would do to our finances, the quality of player we could attract, and the outcome of the 3 years (and arguably more) SPL titles with us miles behind our biggest rivals. No need to worry about our 54 titles, proud history etc, think of the above. Liquidation is not necessary. It might be financially better for a purchaser at this time, but it would be undeniably bad news for the club and the fans for the next few years. This one point should be more than enough for all Rangers fans to agree with the "Show Liquidation the Red Card" display and thoughts behind it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 As I post on the other thread the admin team have called for the protest to be abandoned as it will have a detrimental effect on the sale of the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,352 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm sorry, but the admin team are the ones the protest is mainly aimed at IMO. They have been asked to ensure that the bidding groups are aware that the fans will not support any group that wants to give the club a 3 year Euro ban, and as D&P are the ones who will choose the preferred bidder status, this obviously is pointing this out to them as well. Having just read the admin statement which calls for the red card protest to be called off, I am even more convinced in its importance. What I am guessing this means is that they may prevent the organisers from access to the grond to lay out the cards in advance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Shouldnt need cards, Rangers supporters outside the Main Stand after the game. Thousands of us, would be a better public demonstration. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
