Just heard a rumour that SKY has a statement prepared should Rangers fold that may be the final nail in the coffin of the SPL. The current TV agreement from 2009 allows the SPL to leave this year, Sky have also a get out clause.
Sky is supposedly not only concerned about the possibility of no Old Firm games but also reduced income from Rangers Supporters dropping Sky Sports. This is also supposedly creating alarm in the SPL halls of management, If Rangers go under and Craig Whyte reinvents the product with a clean slate under the rules we do not automatically remain within the SPL. The loss of TV income and no travelling support from Gers fans will quickly kill the smaller clubs who are already in deep financial dodo, this in turn leaves Celtic with no one to play and diluted income opportunities, fans will soon be bored with the poor standard and big name players just won’t want to play up here.
Its rather ironic that Whyte might be the best hope for the SPL,for the near future anyway, as he stated earlier he was the only one to step up to the plate however had to laugh today as the dhim bloggers are now tweeting and calling for the SFA to investigate his fitness as a director under rule, talk about Turkeys voting for Christmas. But of course it’s just a rumour.
Interesting, even if this is just some made up sh1t there are a few scenarios here worth thinking about.
Cheers mystery poster, a bit more interesting than the regular dirge that's been posted of late.
Hearts 1-3 Rangers

LOL you lot are still worrying about what IS going to happen You may not fold but THE TAXCASE is not going anywhere but against you lot. Even the dodgy SO called business man Craig Whyte will not sweep this under the Rug SO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BEANS.
Anyway expect nothing more than a win emora your Noisey cousins will to everything they can tae help out a family member in need..
16KEANO..
Lol I am so glad we have all these people who have moles in every club and sports orgaisation. Get real Rangers wont go bust but Whyte is a bit of a scumbag by all accounts and whatever way makes most money for him, that will be the way he goes
16 keano killie 3-0 up at ht then they ship in three goals to you lot by ft, so did they help you out or was it just a grat fightbby a team with no fight in it ?? lol s.p.
I agree, if rangers went bust, it would be the end of the SPL, no more tv revenue, much less travelling support so less income for small clubs, and the co efficient would drop so low, celtic who would win leage after league in a boring SPL wouldn't even get the chance to qualify for the champs league anymore, celtic need rangers and rangers need celtic, and the SPL need both.
Planet zogg mate. You don't have a clue. If you did you would not be posting on here, you would have a multi national to run.

All u ger fans get behind this club which is already steeped in the history books for 2 reasons 1st 50 titles 2nd 100 trophies and counting the bbc are nothing but scumbags as all they care about is the tv lience paid every year they r trying to destroy a graet club and we all must do anything to prevent rangers from going under and by the way i still cannot believe that john greg has left the club he served so well over the decades,long live the light blues.john.
If the wee teddy bears are dumped into administration then thats the end of the spl,while the taxmen scumbags who are all over rangers should have a good long look in the mirror as the bankers and the fat f--ks who run them are not tax the way they should be and if i was a gers executive i would move my money out of rbs as they are the lowest of the low for making rangers sell players to suit themselves why is this persistent attack on this most famous worldwide,you bankers get of the back of our club you lowlife scumbags,as for whyte he better be the real deal and not rob from the club sir david murray who put his money where his mouth is over the last 2 or 3 decades.john.
Clutching at straws! Ha Ha Ha! Please SPL/Celtic don't relegate us!!
Where do people get this Whyte is a scumbag from? he's caused 0 damage to Rangers, he's the fan who took it upon himself after a successful career in other businesses to try and help Rangers financial problems, it's not like we're having trouble on the pitch we're dominating Scottish football. It was Murray who left Rangers in a financial state, Whyte has done nothing but bring in quality players such as Lee Wallace, Carlos Bocanegra, Dorin Goian amongst others.
Omg too many tims on this page - I never troll your page - my interests are with rangers I suggest u worry bout your own team

CW is a businessman, that's the long and short of it. His plan has always been to enter administration, restructure with no debt and then sell for a handsome profit. That is how he operates and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themself.
Told all you timms that seem to find all this rather funny ages ago if we go under you lot are finished cos sky wont want to invest in spl. anyway i expect rangers to go in to administration before the tax case so we dont need to pay any money to the tax man it looks like the best option for the future of the club from where im sat. anyway not to worried in any case the manky mob are so poor you could deduct 20 points off us and we will win the spl. the problem with administration is there will be trading restrictions placed on the club but maby thats a good thing for the young lads at murray park. oh by the way timmothy ever considered rangers may have no casse to answer?. it might just happen.
If rangers did cease to exist ( which I'm 100% convinced they won't ) would it really kill the SPL and make attendances lower? would the 10s of thousands that turn up at ibrox every other week and the further thousands that travel all over the country with them just stop going to football or would they then start going to watch the local teams and thus increasing revenue for them and allowing them to grow?? just thought I would put that thought out there
Not possible for Rangers to go bust, our assets total far more than any of the suggested potential debts.
pappy
If rangers went bust i would definitely not go and watch smaller teams
There are two strong rumours circulating Glasgow at the moment concerning a certain clubs ability to pay its players in 5 days time. The source of these rumours are the people who told you a long time ago - way before the media would even admit it - that Rangers were in serious financial trouble and time and time again since then. Much to the annoyance of a certain club, and its media lackeys. Story has it that (un)said club will either a) not manage to pay all of its players on 28th or that after paying somemost of them will go into administration.
There are always strong rumours circulating in glasgow! why bother wasting time with this nonsense on here?because if it happens then the BBC will tell us and every friggin paper in the land will be jumping up and down going we told you so! You cant gloat till it happens son...but what if it does,nt?
Utter rubbish. I am sick sore and tired of fans saying that it would be bad for the spl if Rangers go into administration or that it would be a good way of sorting out our debts. Bottom line is that if it were to happening it would be an embarrasment and a disgrace - everything else carries little relevance in my book.
The 'Laptop Loyal', led by the PR mouthpiece Daily Record (deafening silence re what will happen this Friday) are enabling Rangers fans to linger in denial. What will happen when wages are not paid.
