Yeah, in 1690.
Rangers 2011/2012.

- Start date
Thats a date not a time.

Though its tempting to say 'Poor Annan, what have they done to deserve visits from you lot', I actually agree with you Anchorage; starting again in the 3rd Div is probably right. It'll give you lot a clean slate. It'll help your supporters and opponents get over the fixation with the past (in all senses) and allow the SPL to have a proper reform without Celtic being able to frustrate it, as its major business partner won't be there to assist. As I understand the voting structure, Rangers and Celtic were able to perpetually blocked (more egalitarian) reforms, but with Glasgow Rangers no longer around and a new entitly ('Rangers 2012', perhaps modelled on Gretna, the last SPL team to go bust) in the SFL for a few years, the remaining large club in Scotland won't be able to prevent a shake up.

The newco could just go with "Glasgow Rangers", as the name currently is just "Rangers Football Club". It'd be interesting to see them coming through the leagues. Certainly my team (Alloa) would welcome a couple of big gates a season, assuming the new Rangers can actually get promoted into the second division of course.
But I do wonder how feasible that will be. There's huge fixed costs in the Rangers/newco setup, primarily Ibrox itself. Would Rangers/newco be limited to charging third division gate prices?
The way I see it, by the time we get back into the top league most of the teams will be part time. The others voted to go with setanta rather than go with sky for a tv deal, so I don't think they know how to run a league. Rangers fans would rather go down and start again giving our money to the teams in each league we play rather than the SPL teams who think they will win big in Europe to make up for the money they will lose from tv, gates against us and sponsors. Turkeys and Christmas and voting.
I'm loving your beloved team's demise. Ten in a row is on the cards-for us.

Lower costs means lower gate prices. We would, I hope bring money via a new tv deal to each league we were in. Lower league chairman will be rubbing their hands with glee at our travelling support filling their grounds.

'We don’t do walking away'
They've accepted it as a likely-hood, now to start pretending it's the preference.
I think acceptance is stage seven.

I think TUB should be Rangers Public Relations Officer. Maybe someone on Urban could write him a reference?

Wouldn't be any worse than the ones they have already (the supporters trusts anyway).

No dialogue. Just plot.
What makes you think you can pay them TUB. You owe half the SPL teams money as it is TUB. Remember this is all your clubs own doing. Youve got no one else to blame except yourselves.

So following McCoist's outburst to name and shame the Judicial Panel, suspect packages and threats are delivered, I wonder what the SFA will do with him?

You would have thought their antics would demonstrate that they have loads of people to blame, though this number goes down somewhat when actual blame is considered.

And all Fat Sally had to do was ask the Rainjurs representative who attended the tribunal who the panel were.
Same as they did with TLB when he was calling referees criminal and forcing them to strike.
