Rangers in 3rd Division - Worst Decision Ever For Our Economy

Many clubs will go bust here with sponsors pulling out of investing here, with unemployment a risk for thousands now. Those who have kicked Rangers whilst they are down will live to regret this.

Never thought I'd be discussing football on a swing site but.....

I disagree. Hopefully this is a rare chance to rejuvenate Scottish football. It's been dying for a decade.

Hopefully folk will now head back to the games rather than lining SKY's coffers. Back your local side.....and yes, that includes Newco Rangers too.

Anyway. Back to perving.....

Thing is those in the lower divisions will have their budget slashes by 60k. These clubs will not survive, whilst the SPL clubs will not survive without the Sky money. A truly baffling decision.

S - here what makes people think Rangers will take 3 years and be back in the SPL i mean half the team the had in their squad have gone and will have to turn to youth to get them out so it might take longer or might never happen

Should of paid there taxes like everyone else and they wouldn't have to worry about it, if it was any other team say Dunfermline or motherwell, they wouldn't hesitate for a second about chucking them down to the 3rd division! It can't be one rule for them and different for the rest

They are lucky to be allowed to get into the 3rd they have cheated there way to many trophies at least Marseille had the cheek to win a european trophy when they were cheating. Rangers have done nothing in europe the last 30 years and im glad sporting integrity is the ultimate winner in this case.

First things first, Rangers Football club are in administration and about to be liquidated, they are dead, do not exist etc etc. This new company Sevco (The Rangers Football club), are a new football club and like all new football clubs, have to start at the bottom.

I love how it is all about money for the other clubs, did Rangers Football Club (in administration) care about that when they cheated Hearts out of 800K, Rapid Vienna of 1 million pounds, did they buggery.

Goodbye Rangers, hello Sevco, see you in about 5 years.

Lets look back last year with dunfermline, 1 lost gate revenue from us and they were nearly the same as us. How many more will we see next season.

Then again when they can't afford wages etc it will still be our fault! Im glad we in the 3rd division. Help the lower clubs!! Im sure within 2 years there will be others laughing now be taking it right back. Good luck to the spl !!!

As the saying goes...be careful, if you wish for something too much incase it happens....The wise men in the board rooms(and thats why they are there) had to listen to the not so wise fans on the terracing and the result will give a short lived pleasure but a long struggle when Lawell and co sell of the best players and will survice but a few others wont.

and why did the fans pay it? Because your board are cheating bastards!

Ye, i feel it for the real fans of the game, but, they deserve to start at the bottom, pure and simple!!

And what about those players that took a 75% pay cut?? They helped keep the club afloat til end of season and assured there were no redundancier, now that they have walked, (which they are entitled to do) your new board are hampering their careers by blocking international transfers! Beyond a fuckin joke!!

That sums up the fans of the old Rangers FC (In Administration) and the new Sevco, wishing other clubs to go bust, because they voted against you.

Get this into your heads, you have not been punished, you are a new club and new clubs start at the bottom.

I have never said and would never wish any club to go bust!! The implications to this is serious and do only hope all income continues to the spl although i very much doubt this. I am only saying that fans who are laughing at rangers going down and fans who wanted us down are only putting all their hard earned money that they have ploughed into their club to waste. And anybody who cannot admitstand up and not admit that they will struggle is off their head. Yes we deserve punishment but i just think the spl and sfl have made things very difficult.

Rangers are not being relagated, punished, or put down, RFC1872 are no more, the are dead, liquidated, gone.

The Rangers Football Club PLC was formed in 2012, so how can they be punished for things that happend in the last decade.

I will say it again, a new football club is not punished by starting in div 3, it is where new clubs who join the Scottish Football league start. What part of that is unfair?

Its a very good decision for the SPL teams, as they get to re arrange the voting structure to a fairer one, and divide the money up more evenly, instead of the majority going to celtic and that dead club from govan. I also find the old rangers fans to be truly pathetic, its all about blaming and threatening everyone else, whatabouteery and the likes. No hint of sorry coming from them at all.

Are you stupid? It's a different company not a different club much like the Celtic company changed in 1994. Something happened to Leeds United a few years ago aswell. Rangers FCwas founded 1872 but the company wasn't incorporated until 1899. The stupidity of some on here is astounding.

RFC1872 is the club which lives on. The company which wasn't incoporated until 1899 has been liquidated, just like what happened to Leeds and Middlesborough. Don't comment on something you clearly haven't a clue about.

If you were a real Hibs fan you would know Hibs actually spent a year not playing in the Scottish leagues. Your company isn't 137 years old, the club is. Rangers, the club is 140 years old no matter how much you try to contest it. The actual company is only a few weeks old.

My point is companies who own clubs change but it does not affect te clubs history. Leeds United were liquidated 7 or so years ago, as were Middlesborough in the 80s.

Also, a thread like this was begging for controversial responses and will ultimately come down to another excuse for football supporters to argue about who is better... Bad for the economy? Doubt it... The policing costs at an old firm match must be horrendous these days....

Always good to see people belittling and been abusive to others just cos they have a difference of opinion. True colours and all that.

Be and adult, respect others opinions and just agree to disagree.

The PAYE which wasn't paid was Whytes doing. The staff all paid it but Whyte it seems stole the money.

Sevco5088 are very lucky to even get in the 3rd division, they have no audited accounts, no sfa membership i believe, and barely enough players to field an 11 on the park. If i was a fan of Spartans or the like I'd be pretty pissed off.

I think the league would actually be in a far better shape, teams in with a chance of winning the league each year, it would see a big rise in crowds, and genuine competition, lots of scots yougnsters coming through also.

Hopefully that is the end of it now and Sevco can just get on with.

Other clubs can just look after their own affairs - and I don't for a minute believe all this doom and gloom about financial devastation for the Scottish game.

And for the new entrants into SFL3, think of all the exciting wee places you'll get to visit. Places you have never before been. Think of the adventures to be had - and that includes the swinging as you have more overnight stays than the rest of us.

Am getting a bit jealous now!

Follow follow we will follow Sevco. Annan, Elgin we will follow on

Will be fun - good luck!

They never cheated, EBT's were a legal loophole as I've already said. It is morally wrong but if it is legal then it isn't cheating. A bent football team cheating our way to the top? Simmer down. The EBTs were only being used post-2000, after 9IAR, and after the ECWC in 1972. Rangers had one 48 titles by the time they started being used so how have they cheated to the top?

"Its called sporting integrity!!!!

Rangers have cheated and manipulated their way to the top and now they are caught and punished you all bleat about it!!

Plus, they are a NEWCO now, they fserve to start at the bottom and try and work their way back up just like any other new club!

In what way have they cheated? The EBTs were a legal loophole that were used from 2000 onwards. There wasn't anything illegal in them, and they are used by lots of huge companies like Barclays for example.

The PAYE which wasn't paid was Whytes doing. The staff all paid it but Whyte it seems stole the money.

so, craig whyte stole 54mill in taxes did he? Ye right! Rangers was a bent football team cheating their way to the top! The ebts was a way to pay your big name players with a DUAL contract!!

They never cheated, EBT's were a legal loophole as I've already said. It is morally wrong but if it is legal then it isn't cheating. A bent football team cheating our way to the top? Simmer down. The EBTs were only being used post-2000, after 9IAR, and after the ECWC in 1972. Rangers had one 48 titles by the time they started being used so how have they cheated to the top? This is you proving how bitter and twisted you are."

Dual contracts are illegal, punishable by awarding a 3-0 defeat in every match an inelligible player has been fielded. EBT's are legal, but Rangers used them as part of a wage, which is illegal.

After watching the first BBC programme about Mr Craig Whyte I said he's not got the money to progress rangers and a work mate said I was talking shite . I really do feel sorry for rangers fans the state the club has been run into the ground by Mr Murray and Mr Whtye . Sorry day for Scottish football .

There maybe more money put into the economy, because all of the supporters that are now not buying season tickets have around £500 a year plus pies and drinking money to spend at the shops and cafes.

A lot of people following the old "If I say its a brand new club enough times it might come true" mantra. It's still Rangers and when the SFA membership is transferred to the newco, the history goes with it. Looking forward to title number 55 already, but in the meantime bring on the Elgin.

I don't really care about this but to hopefully provide some clarity. EBT schemes are widely used, the rights and wrongs of them are a completely different discussion. The issue here is if Rangers operated the scheme in the "correct" manner to avoid tax.

In terms of PAYE Rangers deduct from the employees and should remit to HMRC like any other business. To say it was only Mr Whyte absolves too many people of blame. I see similar cases every day where the directors of a company don't know who is and isn't being paid it isn't that uncommon but the financial team knew fine what was going on. interestingly there was a job going at rangers just after Mr Whyte took over, glad I never applied.

So lets get this strait .... clubs that lie about finances, cheat on paying taxes due, make dubious contracts with players so again the tax man does not get the monies we ALL have to pay should basically get a "smack on the wrist" and told Don't do it again ??.... i think not .....they got what they deserved....no less.

There is nothing 'illegal' about EBT's if they are run correctly. The do offer some amount of tax avoidance which works out better than either been an employee or a Limited Company.

However, it seems that the Rangers schemes were not run correctly (maybe due to greed) and became tax evasion.

Tax avoidance is OK (immoral maybe, but legal), Tax Evasion is illegal.

I think (and I dont pretend to be an expert here, offer to be corrected) that as they could save money on their tax bill, they could afford to pay more in wages to attract better players. Some would say thats cheating.

It wouldnt surprise me if in the near future, MP's, Public Sector Management, NHS high management etc were also 'exposed' as using EBT's. They were a scheme promoted by many accountants.

You are correct Steve, putting aside the morality issue, many people/organisations have used the EBT schemes to pay a higher percentage of their income to certain parties. Indeed many companies,large and small run by many high profile individuals have used EBT schemes.

OK,I'll bite.

Whoever owns Rangers will cut their cloth accordingly and if Auchenhowie has to go then so be it. Ibrox will be financed to the level required based on the numbers through the door.

The flip side is how will Pacific Shelf 595 continue to service a massive wage bill with a vastly reduced season ticket uptake. You could always sell a few of your half dozen or so £10m players (copyright M Guidi).

Maybe the Rangers support could re-invent itself as political

I know it, you know it, even Peters puppet Regan knows it the Rangers will never die.

Now can you say the same for Pacific Shelf 595 and their ten, wait nine, wait eight, wait seven ........ mates?

Pacific Shelf 595 FC have liabilities in the region of £36m. With no Sky TV and sponsors running for the hills that £36m is only going one way

Just a theory, they gambled on buying players to get them champions league glory, did;nt happen!

Then you had top players playing weekly in the scots prem, attracting zero money back, with just the old firm game to take our interest.

Financially they went down a dead end road, but for footballers just wanting to play and then get told they cant because the bosses have mucked it up is punishing the wrong people.

He who laughs least and all that, if anyone thinks we will be on the edge of our seats waiting to see how many points ahead the only other top class team in the league are, its not going to happen, and the odd fluke where dundee united get a draw, wooo, dont care, its all a fastrack to no footy worth bothering about = no investment in the game = new set up in next seasons plans.

Sorry but it's not the arsehole fans who are saying the diddies will go bust, its the diddy chairman in the form of Stewart Gilmour who stated last night "five clubs could go into administration within weeks".

Can I just point out in the three years before Craig Whyte took over Rangers were one of only three clubs in Britain to make a profit three years in a row.

Just for good measure history remains intact and if you wanna be pedantic the next title will be 62

It you knew "YOUR" history and all that you would know that the Rangers have won 61 titles. Some dont count the stats from the war years whilst OTHERS do in their official history stats

Couldnt care less....whole game is pish when you look at it! 2 team league (or what was...) however if you look at it in relative terms 'the greatest league in they world!!' as they like to call it, is 20 teams with realistically only 3 going to win it until man city bought the league. what is my point? Scottish football needs to start from scratch and teach kids to pass ala spain and barca....not the way we were taught at school..

'if the baws in their half they canny hurt us son...now hoof it up there!' ...so while a few clubs probably will wind up, this could be the rebirth....more kids on streets playing rather than growing fat playing consoles. here endeth the lesson...as a baldy scotsman once said.

It was the only logical option for Rangers to start in Division 3. My main complaint is that the SFA/SPL took so long to decide on the whole issue before eventually passing it on to the SFL who have been swift, fair and open about everything that is going on.

The SPL trying to devise a way to bring us back into the top leagues so they can keep us for the TV money but continue to punish us at their will just makes me sick.

Rangers in the third division should have happened a long ago . I dont understnd why all these pointless vote took place . Anyway i think financially for some of the clubs in the SPL it is going to make things a bit harder . I dont think it will benefit Scottish football at all as celtic look set to domintae now for quite a few years . Having an uncompetetitve legue at the top with clubs going into europe is not god for the game overall . However Rangers in the 3rd division i think could be good for bringiing through the youngsters . i hope they adopt an ajax way of doing things and bring through some players , sell them on etc etc and then when or if they get back to the SPL they can try and keep hold them . Will also hopefully be a massive boost to the other teams in that division . As for some of the views on here i have read , its pretty disgusting , narrow minded and as someone said shows true colours about some folk . Sad in a way but a subject such as this was always going to bring a bit of controversy .

The chairman just forgot to mention he still has to find the shortfall for the Sky money and all the accompanying sponsorship which is falling fast.

Maybe you shouldn`t hold your breath my friend.The rest of Scottish football is so determined to see justice done here they will, i think, turn up in their droves to make sure their local club survives the loss of Murdochs cash and also to show Newco that they are indeed dispensable.It will also lead to the overpaid foreigners moving on and Scottish lads getting their chance at long last which can only be good for the national team.C `mon the Accies.

Sounds good in principle but will probably work for about two weeks before apathy sets in. You have to remember that for a large amount of Glaswegians, Rangers is our local club.

look am a celtic fan from a mixed family.theres no way that the demise of rangers will affect investment in scotland.if anything it will help smaller buisnesses get a chance to break through the red white n blue clouds that hamper the evolution of scotland as a whole.if it was celtic who wer in this position again cause we wer(apart from bein relegated)it would be benificial for the smaller clubs in the lower leagues to have these so called die hard celtic/rangers fans in thier towns n cities for a day or weekend.the cash these 4000 fans would spend in an hour.think about it.ok not all of these fans will travel every weekend n not all the cash gets spent legally but its like a cup clash every time rangers travel now......oh n just to finish off,if u really think rangers will b bak in the spl(unless spl1 n 2 goes ahead) in 3 seasons then i think u need to get a reality check.you are gonna get kicked up n down the park by all the players u never gave a chance,they r gonna try harder to beat u n seriously ther will b more players jumpin ship this jan n they wont care about contracts n loyalty either.so sorry if you are looking through blue tinted specs but its fact.

Like what? The EBTs were in the company accounts for years so hardly a secret. We have been well aware of the debt accumulated during Murray and Whyte's tenures. How come every non-Rangers supporter goes on about sporting integrity all of a sudden? Aberdeen should have been relegate twice but the rules got bent to keep them in the league. Financially most clubs in that league are close to going tits up so this pish about other clubs paying bills etc is a load of shit, Rangers are just the first in a long line to go down. Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, Hearts, Dundee United, St Mirren and Motherwell are all crippled with debt. Rangers fans and staff are being crucified for the actions of a select few. Murray and Whyte have gotten off and it is the Rangers supporters and staff who are the ones who will suffer.

Yes I feel millions of pounds lost and unemployment when clubs go down the tubes is a horrific thing for the Scottish economy. Sorry if I'm wrong and that sort of thing is actually beneficial. I'd assume you are a Celtic supporter.

Obviously non-payment of taxes is wrong. However, the staff all paid twit PAYE it was one man (Whyte) who never and now the entire club suffers. EBTs aswell, as I agree they were wrong, were NOT illegal. They were in the accounts every year for the world to see and the club at the time thought at the time there was nothing wrong with using them, hence why they lasted a decade.

Rangers it has already been admitted, are being made an example of. There are dozens and dozens of clubs who have similar problems with HMRC etc that hasn't made the news. That's why people should be careful when the usual pay your taxes quip comes out, as it could be their club who encounters problems next.
