Danny 0 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I might be utterly naive here, but a part of me thinks that starting again is the best thing that could happen to us. No one seems to know if we'd lose our history and trophies, but given Celtic, Fiorentina and Leeds haven't, can't see why we would. It would give us a chance to start again, to be taken into a proper business framework rather than the shocking and nigh-on illegal way we've been run in recent decades. As a newco we'd still be at Ibrox, we'd still be Rangers, and we'd still have our heritage. We might lose a lot of the squad, but we've had an overhaul in the past when Advocaat basically bought a new team. We might even consider application for England and starting in a new league, rather than the backwater that is the SPL. Am I way off base here? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 given whytes demands ive had a total rethink. i would rather go down the newco route than give that fucking bastard another penny from our club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I get the impression that the newco route would speed things up no end & put an end to the current situation. The club can then get on with winning titles!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Am I way off base here? No, you are not. Don't forget that 6 years after Fiorentina went into judicially controlled administration (the Italian form of sports club bankruptcy) they were playing us in the semi final of the UEFA Cup; we can do it too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Then why does everyone have so much fear about this happening. Is it some misguided belief that it 'won't be Rangers any more'? Why does having a new company run the club mean the club itself is now a different one? That's crap. And anyone who thinks differently, here's an example - the people running the club 10 years ago were not the same people running it 50 years previously. So it's different people, even if it's supposedly the same company. Different people means different club, right? Of course not! Why does a different company suddenly mean it's not Rangers any more? I can't quite fathom it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 The one concern with liquidation and a newco is presumably though we could apply for England or start again in SFL division 3 is that we'd lose our squad. Simply because we wouldn't have the income any more to pay them. And none of them would want to play at a low level such as that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think the biggest worry about dropping to the 3rd Division is will we have good enough squad of players to climb through the leagues? These leagues will be a dogfight and there will be no guarantees and I think it could be harder than people think because we will essentially be playing with a young squad for 3/4 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. Plus crowds would drop like a stone which in turn will mean it’ll be hard to pay bills for the upkeep of Ibrox and MP 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
