GinRummy Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) If you look below the top flight there are a few clubs that look quite strong, Airdrie, Morton, Raith and Dunfermline as well as Dundee United.

Percival King Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hope they survive, every team has loyal and committed supporters, they just have fewer than other clubs but that's football. Hard for Livingston to build a fan base given their location and how they came into being but I don't like to hope a club goes bust. And they've won a trophy more recently than over 3/4 of teams across our four leagues. Probably will find their level, hopefully without going bust.

ToadKiller Dog Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 If they are going to comeback it will have to be first time or they may not be back up for a long time . Big cuts ahead for them . If say Ross county ,St johnstone or the sheep go down after play offs all 3 will have a bit more to spend to bounce back up ,plus most other championship sides are while not loaded are well run ,hence Dundee united not strolling things . Possible they could go into admin but they will survive not many teams die completely like the original Rangers died . But prefer them at the right level which is on a par with where Hamilton are now at . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 One of my regular clients has a season ticket for Livingston and he was telling me about a discussion he'd had with one of their directors at the Celtic cup game. Apparently they've already budgeted for two seasons in the Championship and know they'll have a struggle to come back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMc Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 They used to bring through a few decent young players. And we usually take a big support through. Bit like Dunfermline, I guess there’s an argument if they folded them we might pick up a few fans, but no animosity from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brawlad74 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Suspect they'll do a Hamilton and freefall down the league's especially if they lose Martindale along with main funding.

jamboinglasgow Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Think they will become a part time club.

Bongo 1874 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 They will get money for goalkeeper who kept the score down today. Probably about 300k/400k from there they should look into multi club model. Get loans and try get back in the league. No Idea if goalkeeper has a relegation release clause. But if Zander goes, I wouldn't mind him challenging Gordon for the shirt.
