Glasgow Rangers likely to fold
Just heard that Glasgow Rangers face a Tax Bill of 75 million pounds and this is likely to send them into administration.
Apparently there are now special mesures being intorduced by the UK Government for tax paid/owed by football clubs.
Wonder what our Aus based Glasgow fans will make of this. Not much fun having no rival.

Should be like any company, if you can't manage your finances and are losing money hand over fist then bye bye.

Re: Glasgow Rangers likely to fold
They may be the first of many.
There are a lot of clubs who do not want their finances looking at too closely.
May bring an end to the madness that has gripped British football for a few years.

Re: Glasgow Rangers likely to fold
The football league has a lot to answer for.... they've stuffed up some well supported traditional clubs chasing TV rights.
I realise GR are a different situation, it's been caused by Cable TV money and the Leagues should have put in better buffers. The casual viewer is wrecking the game.

Re: Glasgow Rangers likely to fold
Nope most of my football watching involves goin to to games here..... I dont watch the Premier league as none of my clubs are involved. I'm also willing to pay an online season ticket to watch my team via the net.... which is something Palace are pushing for. They are pretty sure that will be a success as their bulletin boards already carry well over 126,000 registered members.
I should be ditching foxtel pretty soon... which will clear my conscious in this regard... you can still watch online
Just means Rupert doesn't get the dosh.Note to self must get down of my pulpit in relation to this heartfelt subject.
