What would you prefer next season?

Sorry if this has already been asked on here, but what do other Rangers fans on here hope for next season?

1. A Blue Knights/Kennedy CVA and play teenage team in the SPL next year.

2. Liquidation and "new" Rangers play a teenage team in the SPL with a big points deduction.

3. Liquidation and drop to the 3rd division, and play the teenage team there.

Any alternatives?
Obviously lots of other team's fans (maybe Celtic ones on today...who knows?) might have an opinion or two, but really wondering what the gers fans are thinking on this.

OP

I'll try and answer your question, unlike others above

Of these three, it has to be option number one.

Personally I quite like the idea of a fresh start with a squad of youngsters. I accept the fact that we would take a few hammerings in the early months but would benefit in the medium term from a team of hopefully very fit, fast, hard-working, dedicated players, all on lowish wages, devoid of superstars, devoid of aging foreign mercenaries, or short-term signings who have an eye on the EPL from day one, but who all play for each other, having been at Murray Park for ages, many of them Gers fans themselves, making the best of their chance in the limelight....but will our support have the patience to give them a chance to gel, mature and improve?

Remember that Alan Hansen was proved so wrong with the famous line about "never winning anything with kids" Do we have the quality amongst our current crop to develop into the stars that Beckham, Giggs and Scholes became?

Kids need time to develop, just because Rangers' first team is guaranteed top two every year, in their current form. Your U19s finished fifth in the U19 league, so I don't think they would be great in the SPL. Nevertheless, you have those wonderful facilities, it's about time they were used to their potential, the same goes for Lennoxtown.

the same goes for Lennoxtown.

We have some fantastic youngsters
9albeit not all Scottish) our scouting system, the fact we have invested in it, is 2nd to none..

Wanyama. Kayal, Mathews, McGeough, The Czech twins, Forrest, Watt...

We have a good mix.

Blue prof

Is option number one really viable? A teenage team in the SPL is going to get kicked off their feet.
You can win things with kids if you have senior playeres around them. Rangers wont have any senior players next year.
I'm not saying you are wrong, just my thoughts.

Henrik, to be fair I suppose our under19 team might have been raided for the first team bench this year. Thats not development, its just where we are.

Asset sale, NewCo, same old Rangers, SPL, moderate deduction in points and overturn the transfer ban.

I would settle for that.
