Rangers womt go bust, too many vested interests for that, particularly with the blazers of Scottish football, but its nice to see them squirm. What would happen if they did go bust? Is there the possibility of thousands of h*ns turning up at Firhill? Do we welcome that? Do we want to become the city rivals to the other ugly sister? If they go bust is there the chance some H*n would buy us and do an Airdrie/Clydebank on us? The h*ns going under might not suit us.

The h*ns going under might not suit us. They might be in bother but they won't disappear, sadly. At worst they could do an Airdrie and reform. One way or another we are stuck with them forever.

MerryHell Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I seem to remember around the time Celtic were in trouble a good few years back, it was muted that Rangers or at least 'Rangers minded' people could look at buying Celtic as realisticaly, one club couldn't really survive without the other. Rangers might go bust but I dont think they'll ever disappear. I was quite young though and may be mistaken. Any new fans are welcome at Firhill as long as they do not try and use the club to peddle their ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vom Itorium Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 If they do go tits up they will be looking to acquire an SFA licence by snapping up another club and their place in the Scottish game a la Airdrie. Let's hope that we're in a position to tell Whyte to **** off with his £1 or whatever he'd offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that we're in a position to tell Whyte to **** off with his £1 or whatever he'd offer. If they took anyone over I would hope it would be Livingston, branching Franchise FC out to Glasgow. Or Airdrie as they deserve it. It'll never come to that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more the merrier at Firhill as far as I am concerned, provided they don't bring their union jacks and diseased songs with them. I suspect many fans of every other Scottish football club (with one exception) will feel the same way too.

If his negotiations to buy David Goodwillie are anything to go by, then it will go: £1; £1.20; 75p; £1 again; decides to buy Clyde instead.

I suspect many fans of every other Scottish football club (with one exception) will feel the same way too. Forget that. Isn't going to happen anyway. Rangers will keep going in one form or another and even if they didn't I highly doubt that we'd benefit in any way. To be perfectly honest (wish McCoist would stop saying that ALL the time) though, I don't give a.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffthejag Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'm just back from holidays so this is new to me. Is it still ongoing or have the H*** wriggled out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone quiet, BUT still ongoing as Hoods wrongful dismissal case had the judge ringfence nearly £500k just in case the taxman moved in to take 49million. Rangers lawyer couldnt give guarantees that taxman WOULDNT get ALL h*ns money!! Lets hope they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 The story has now made it to Private Eye's serious pages. They reckon that the Sons of Jaffa's lawyers are advising that they haven't a leg to stand on and that the club should get ready to pay up.

The rangers tax case site is a fascinating read, it has to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
