    I'd have a good laugh at that anyway. Won't happen, no europe for a few years, midtable maybe, a "Lost decade" but within 10 years you will probably be back to the same level as Celtic. I'm looking forward to some really one sided derbys.

    Plus it would be interesting to see what the BBC and Sky think if we decided to go into division 3 and not take a points cut. No OF games, possibly no TV deals.

    The SPL signed a 5 year TV deal worth £80 million with Sky Sports and ESPN regardless of whether Rangers are in or out. You might see a little of that when you get promoted back up in a few years time. Your club got less than 18,000 of the best fans in the world to watch a cup game against Dundee Utd, imagine what you will get against Elgin City or Clyde...3 or 4,000 maybe?

    No doubt you will get bigger attendances than the competition but the day to day running cost of Ibrox will somewhat cancel that benefit out, plus season ticket prices will have to fall dramatically. By the time you get promoted back to the SPL you will have a team of players who will probably win Division 1 easily but of mid-table SPL quality at best, you can forget about your McGregors, Bocanegras and Naismiths.

    I reckon if Rangers go down to Division 3 you won't be near to challenging Celtic until the 2020s.

    Cheers. I don't see what problem you would have with us going into division 3.

    I dont have a problem with Rangers2012 entering into div.3, good luck with that! :pac:

    I just question the mentality of any fan that would rather be winning easy in the lowest division than competing at the top level. Its shameful tbh

    That gets spouted by people that dont understand how Celtic make their money.

    You do realise that Celtic has downsized before?

    Typical Celtic fan, don't you know that 126% of your income comes from the 2 home games against Rangers every season? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    It will end grand, if the league is smaller, less money or whatever it doesn't matter. Doesnt even look like that will happen anyway.

    Will be better without the rainjurs

    What I reckon is happening is that Rangers fans are setting an absolute worst case scenario as being the assumed outcome, then when the actual time for judgement comes and they aren't relegated they can feel they have done quite well out of the whole thing and got away lightly.

    I would rather compete at the bottom than start every SPL season with -10 points. Let Sky and ESPN suffer without OF games.

    We can work our way back up over time and then compete again. We got plenty of time to do so.

    The club is in for a rough time anyway.

    Is that even a possible outcome? I wouldnt think so

    Neil Doncaster was a fool to allow such conditions into the TV deal. Basically Celtic or Rangers missing the split would have jeopardised the financial stability of 10 clubs. I couldnt care less what Sky/ESPN want, its clearly not in the best interests of Scottish Football tbh.

    Thats a stupid statement

    Rangers is currently a money pit.

    You clearly havent fully grasped whats going on.

    That is what I am saying. They have no choice but to allow us back into the SPL with a clean slate. Otherwise, we could/should go to division 3 and then just work our way back up. Get all the best players at that level and then get back into the SPL.

    F*ck lads he's right, remember how Leeds Utd went into administration and it all worked out rosy for them with no negative repercussions whatsoever?

    No choice? Lets keep it real! What I meant was I dont think there is a "start every SPL season with -10 points" penalty.

    A new rangers getting back into the SPL goes to a vote, you would need to win that 11:1 as per the rule. You will not get that.

    :D:D:D:D:D:D Best. Joke. Ever.

    £15m in hock right now, with no season ticket money for the next 3 years, and that's not counting the £49m other tax bill they have coming?

    Getting one up on your rivals by using the suffering of child abuse victims is about as disgusting in my book as those who use the Ibrox disaster as a means to hurt Rangers supporters.

    Good. Then start at the bottom again. Fine with me. No problem whatsoever.

    Absolutely. Think about it. Celtic will dominate the SPL for a good number of years to come. The media will get bored of it because it has NO competition at all. They will have little to report on. We on the other hand will be working our way back up. The hardcore will still support the club and we will be winning every week. The club needs to recognise and plan for the worst or at least this situation. Do NOT accept a place back into the SPL if it means points deductions. Go to the bottom.

    It was a joke. In bad taste I admit. I apologise.
