Surely that site has to be some kind of wind up.

There is just no way...

How many divisions are the Huns playing in next season?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/scottish/

They still haven't put Rangers in the 3rd division table yet and are adamant that "club 12" hasn't be decided yet.

Is it really that difficult for them to accept?

**WindyMiller** · 20-07-2012 05:24 PM

SFL teams getting wise to the possibilities.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18891279

Good on them.

East of Scotland league side Hawick Royal Albert's planned glamour friendly against newco Rangers tomorrow has been postponed because the new Club's membership details have still to be finalised with the SFA.

Dear oh dear - how the mighty have fallen.

Short term yes, but the whole of next summer without signing anyone? Will be tough hopefully!

How so?

They barely have a team just now, so it's only right that they are allowed to build a basic one. They can't afford to buy players, and they can't afford to pay high wages. If they do either, they will be bust again by Christmas.

Haven't Rangers been punished enough?

They will be able to sign players on the 1st Sept as there is no transfer window in the lower leagues.

Am I correct in thinking that an embargo means players coming in and out?

Seems unfair on the other teams, Hopefully John Jobbie Bomber keeps telling the masses to boycott the season tickets!

***lucky*** · 20-07-2012 05:51 PM

It's time to move on and concentrate on our own club. Scottish football needs to start playing rather than ripping itself apart

I'd be surprised if the SFA could stop players deciding their own futures and leaving Sevco.

I think it more to do with them not being allowed to register anyone after the 1st Sept so even out of contract players will be out of their reach

I'm not so sure if they're as skint as we'd all like to believe.

I meant 1st Sept 2013.

Where is the money going to come from?

Season Tickets? Walk-ups? These famous investors that CG told us all about?

Aye, right enough.

***Ozyhibby*** · 20-07-2012 06:00 PM

While I think this is a bit of a let off for them, I'm not too fussed really. Most important thing now is that they are stripped of any titles they have won while cheating and a giant black mark against their name forever.
By the time they get back to the SPL hopefully the gang of eleven will have changed things to such an extent that the dominance of the old firm will be a thing of the past.

Maybe so, though as the SFA will refuse to register them the end effect is...they cant sign players they want to play after 1st Sept.

Well they seem to be looking at fairly high profile signings.

So money must be rolling in from somewhere.

**ScottB** · 20-07-2012 06:05 PM

Hmmm so while the ban allows players to be signed this summer, that'll be them till January 2014?

That site is brilliant - every post oozes with hurt, anger and victim-hood. Folk talk about decent hun fans, which I know there are, but their lowest amoebic bigoted paranoid followers gather there and it's a joy to watch their pain and utter, utter helplessness.

Ozyhibby seems to be suggesting that they could sign new players at the tail end of next summer. Albeit after the season has started, but they could effectively shop next summer and have them lined up ready for September the 1st, if what Ozyhibby says is correct.
If so, then they would effectively only miss out on signings this January??

Not that I'm too fussed about it personally, but I'm guessing the main story behind the headline is that Newco have accepted the punishments and footballing debts of Oldco.

Assuming that some of the top-level players who agreed to TUPE thinking they'd be in division 1 can be sold, the transfer fees will be easily enough to pay signing-on amounts for a team capable of being at the top of division 2 in January 2014. Livingston showed that virtually any full-time team can win divisions 2 and 3 against the part-time sides at that level.

Paying wages and maintaining Ibrox might be more of a problem, but I think this is a major success for Rangers. Effectively the SFA have totally backed down on the embargo.

When is an embargo not an embargo? When it involves the SFA it seems. Every time I just about get round to thinking that, just maybe, there is a chance Scottish football can drag itself out of this mess and give the impression it has the tiniest bit of credibility and is not corrupt, along comes another kick in the teeth. If only the shower in charge of our game had shown the slightest sign of having a pair at any stage of this pantomime........well they have just stuck the tin lid on it. What a joke.
