PeeTeeJag Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Bradford Bulls have gone into administration today and are saying they could be liquidated in 10 days. They can't bring in much money by selling players, and they say the prospect isn't looking good. I wonder if Haudit and Daudit are available for another gig? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superimp69 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 They'd meet as many basics as Airdrie United did in 2002... they were also a start-up. Airdrie United were knocked back - that's why they had to buy Clydebank! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsedosh Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The SPL clubs have kicked them out because of money - they fear long-term they'll lose their fans die if they let them back in - and the SFL will use money to make their decision too. The SFL could help out the SPL (if the Sky one season away thing is true) by dropping them into the First but why should they? If they go down to the Third 80-90 per cent of SFL clubs will get at least two visits from Rangers and there will be the wet dream of a three-year television deal which can be spread around everyone - and at the budget several of these clubs work on you only need a small amount to make a massive difference. If the SFL wants to let them into the First, of course some jiggery pokery can be done but it will take an almighty bribe from the SPL to get it. A share of the current television deal and another promotion spot would seem the absolute minimum they should be looking to get and given the soon to be state of the SPL clubs, I'm not convinced they'll be willing to stump up. In that case the SFL as a whole stands to gain a lot more with Rangers going into the Third Division than falling over themselves to help the very SPL which was set up to shaft them in the first place. Totally agree with this. Put them in SFL1 then a small % of clubs will play them twice. Put them in SFL3 nearly all the clubs will play twice, and they'll get some sort of TV deal for the whole time they're there. It would seem commercially stupid to put them in SFL1 from the perspective of SFL clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Airdrie United were knocked back - that's why they had to buy Clydebank! Discussion surrounded their ability to apply. That's incorrect. As the governing body, the SFA issues licences to both SPL and SFL allowing their Clubs to play in Scotland. If this wasn't the case, how could the SFA have placed a transfer embargo on Rangers? Several posters are confusing License possession with possessing Membership. There are several thousand clubs in Scotland who participate in 'organised football' through possessing Full, Associate or Registered membership of SFA. Of those only 30-odd have licenses. Not all SFL clubs have licenses... Annan Athletic, Ayr United, Brechin City, Cowdenbeath + East Stirlingshire all examples in the season just ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I don't know the guidelines personally, but I'd imagine the thousands of fans they'll bring compared (bigotry, vermin, vile blah blah blah) to a couple of hundred at most will sway their thinking somewhat. And why shouldn't it? In fact, haven't some of the other eligible teams said that they won't even bother applying as they themselves recognise that Rangers could offer more to the league than them? 'Rangers' do not exist. They are dead. That's the first point. Secondly, SevCo 5088 can offer more than other clubs - more pished knuckledragging bigots, more sectarian chanting and songs, more aggression and violence in the grounds, more abuse and al fresco pishing in town centres, the need for more security and policing etcetera, etcetera. The upside ? A few more quid via. tickets and the opportunity to take the scalp of the newest club in Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There is a distinct possibility, with only 31 days from the Newco vote until the season kicks off, that the SPL could very well stick with 11 teams. The rules don't state clearly who should be the 12th team, and there's not enough time for any legal wrangles between Dunfermline and Dundee. If this is the case, there would be no place in the SFL for Servile-scumCo 5088 at all... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellwoodpar Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 They're probably just trying to get it over and done with. If they can't get the relevant details together by Friday (which they probably can't considering they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery) then the SFL can proceed to ask for new applicants for SFL3. Have to agree with this. The clock cant tick for ever, so they have decided its Friday or nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought so too, but then as there is going to be a finicial hit without Rangers no matter what why you cut it, could the clubs also stomach to lose up to 2 home games bringing in some revenue as well?
