How would you vote in the SPL /Rangers FC debate?
Yes or No?
Now remember, you have to vote as a Businessman running a football club
and not as a supporter.
If you were a business man?

I don't want to see the other clubs struggle our go bust.......but;
I would rather go typo the third division than be in the spl and crippled by points deductions and financial penalties. They want their cake and eat it.
Vote then in restriction free out 3rd division.

Good OP RFC.
As a businessman, I know that the punters will stop buying the product if they don't like it, or if I as a businessman takes the pi$$ out of the customer (remember Ratner?) And I also know that my bank manager won't be happy if the customer stops buying my product. I therefore vote no.

Apologies for the spelling folks. Predictive text.
Mackindlers, expect that change regardless if rangers go down our not. Would be one of the conditions of letting them back in.

We, as old firm fans, have all accepted lording over the smaller teams and taking the lions share in the past.
That's why I find ask the sporting integrity nonsense being spouted by some Celtic fans as comical
------------------------------------------------------------------
We haven't been cheating for years, so please don't place us in the same category as yourselves. If the SPL and SFA want to condone cheating on an industrial scale, then they'll let the newco into the top division. If not, then they won't. And we should also remember that this isn't actually about money, because if Celtic had embarked on the cheating that rangers have, they'd already be in division 3, notwithstanding the fact that they are as economically important to every SPL club as Rangers.

Rangers have not been found guilty of cheating for years. Only for not paying Tax,Vat &NI for last season.

Cheating for years Hampden? You have a result from some form of court case that no one else has?
Or are you just posting your normal biased, vitriolic pash?

Hampden
You jumped in with your green tinted spectacles and missed what myself and it fellow Celtic fan were talking about.
We weren't comparing anything, but the last posts show if you want to then you don't go great on that score either.
We were talking about how to make the whole of Scottish football better.

Rangers go down, SPL loses TV money and the clubs sell off players on higher wages to the lower levels of English football leagues (League 1 and 2 and possibly lower half of PL). Celtic will still dominate as they are the only club left in Scotland that can win the league short term and have pulling power but even they will lose their top players and for pittance too. Forget about CL or Europa money. Other teams start to live off their means or go bust. Quality of teams go down.
After awhile you could become like other small leagues such as Norway or Sweden. Which is you have your league, but lose your local top players to teams in bigger or better leagues. Your international Squad might become a bit more decent (as long as they don't all move to England) and you have a league that might become more competitive but you say good-bye to the CL and at first the Europa.
The question is, would your fans be happy with that?
