Boris Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If Rangers do go the wall I think it will be the reaction of the SPL/SFA etc that may well entrench Romanov's views rather than change them. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other posters on the thread seemed to grasp the meaning of the question without any problem, I suspect your being purposefully obtuse. Personal feelings of Vlad aside, in my opinion it could only be a good thing for the club. If, and I agree with the sentiments of others on the thread that its a big if, Rangers go to the wall it will be a huge opportunity for us. I would foresee all the part time huns starting to follow us, buying merchandise coupled with extra TV revenue and potentially higher prize money it could bring us above the break even point. In turn that would bring us into line with Fifa's FFP imitative. So therefore I suspect that if Vlad does not have to continually put his hand in his own pocket he may be more interested. At the very least we would be a far more attractive propect for any potential investors. Whats your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where your coming from, but I could see Rangers trying to start off in the lower leagues again and I reckon the only time we'd have many Huns amongst the support is when we play Hibs or Celtic, which we wouldn't want. But like other people say I don't think there is a hope in hell of Rangers going bust. The SFA and even up as far as the government would do as much as they can to intervene.

i wish jj was my dad Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 While the fall of Rangers and Celtic would benefit Scottish society enormously, I fear they will both be around long after we are dead and gone. I think we have our own problems to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 It really wouldn't surprise me, I don't mean necessarily that would be the views or objective of the majority of the government but a lot of politicians through on the west would no doubt beg for an emergency bailout.

Francis Albert Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If he has heard about the Sunday papers absolutely wetting themselves over the arrival of Rangers' Indian triallists, and recalls their reaction to our Lithuanian triallists, his views of Scottish football will have been reinforced.

Great, So if all these Rangers fans start following us, we'd have to decide which side to support in all conflicts throughout the world - and bring those sides respective flags to Tynecastle.

Charlie-Brown Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Airdrie United aren't Airdrieonians but they aren't really Clydebank either. Put it this way Clydebank now play in the Juniors in the same/similar strips supported by the same fans. Airdrie United play in similar strips as Airdrieonians and play in the same stadium supported by the same fans. AFC Wimbledon play in the traditional home stadium in the same team colours supported by the same fans yet Wimbledon FC now play in Milton Keynes re-branded as MK Dons in different team colours with new fans. Which team is really Wimbledon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
