AFC Wimbledon took MK Dons to court about who should claim the history of Wimbledon FC and the courts rightly decided that the history of thr club belonged to the community and the fans. Which is exactly the same in this case Rangers, like every other football club (with the exception of MK) belongs to the fans.
not the same, Rangers are not proposing to move 150 miles!! Well they would if they took over Bury but that would never happen!
In answer to the question put by the Celtic supporter,Rangers keep their history quite simply because the actual club will not be liquidated. Rangers Football Club was formed in 1872,it's the company that was formed in 1899 to run the financial aspects of the club that is to be wound up. To quote even the liquidators themselves Malcolm Cohen of BDO(the company appointed to wind up the old company)"It's important to understand that the appointment of liquidators will not mean the end of football at Ibrox - only the end of the company that ran the club," said Cohen. And that's it in a nutshell,this is the way Charles Green and the administrators structured histakeover,to ensure the CLUB itself remained the same. Same club,same stadium,same fans,same name,same history..The Rangers as the club are now known was actually the name the club formed in 1872 went buy. Hope that clears this matter up.
Rangers supporters themselves wanted to start from div 3, as they don't want to owe favours to anyone apparently.Thats a strange one Stu ,might be a bit of a media/Sky thing as they obviously have an interest .I think the Club surveyed their own ST holders and their response was Go to Div 3 ,even Ally said as mutch himself.
Considering the teams they will play have home grounds which hold 2500 I think they'll struggle.The fans are saying that they will not attend the clubs that voted against them in a bid to cripple the clubs! It's going to be messy!
This decision will cripple the finances of every Scottish club except for Celtic-football is going to the wall up there. Fun for Celtic though who will walk the title with ease for 3 years minimum.
I remember a few days before the announcement and Celtic (my club) issued a statement saying their finances are good and they don't need to worry about the future,I had a look the other day and Neil Lennon was saying we need fans to attend games ??This decision will cripple the finances of every Scottish club except for Celtic-football is going to the wall up there. Fun for Celtic though who will walk the title with ease for 3 years minimum.
Anybody know as to how they are going to re-arrange the divisions. Who will take Rangers place in the SPL and the other divisons and so on or will they not replace them and have a shorter schedule in the SPL and an extra team in the 3rd division?
There is every possibility that the Leagues will be ripped up and 2 new SPL leagues formed according to the press reports today.
