Already, Celtic are 10th in the Top 20 Matchday revenue league GLOBALLY according to the 2011 Deloitte Report at £43.4m, vs. c. £20m for Newcastle (Newcie # sourced on net admittedly). Throw in PL money and increased interested from the global Irish diaspora, and they'd dwarf Newcastle.Originally posted by dom9 View PostSubstance > StyleComment

They would lose the European money though.
No chance they are qualifying for Europe in England.Oh I don't know.Comment

Rangers Football Club has entered administration - meaning the club will be docked an immediate 10 points in the Scottish Premier League.
It follows a unsuccessful legal bid by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the Court of Session in Edinburgh to appoint its own administrator.
London-based firm Duff and Phelps was officially appointed at 14:50.
It will now take over the day-to-day running of Rangers while addressing the club's massive debt problems.Last edited by Bender; 14-02-12, 04:08 PM.Comment

Newcastle don't beefit from Euro particiapation either and think you only get about £6m-£10m max for the group stage of the CL anyway so would doubt these lost Celtic CL revenues (and they don't qualify for CL groups every year) wouldn't be offset elsewhere.Originally posted by dom9 View PostSubstance > StyleComment

Move them to Dublin and let them compete in the english leagues. It'd be ****ing massive. I'd really want them to fail and for it to all go wrong, but the money involved in moving the "franchise" would be huge.Comment

If they want to play in the english league they should have to qualify by playing non league football first to get into the leagues and then get promoted though the lower leagues to the PL.Originally posted by Daniel 7 View PostComment

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the team in second place gets 10 points deducted and are still 9 points ahead of the team in 3rd.

whatever Celtic may say in the press, they need Rangers as without them the money will dry up quickly - a 1 team league romping it season in season out will see tv revenues suffer and match going fans decrease.

Just what you need when the club has tax 'issues'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17072133Milan Mandaric interested in buying crisis-hit club Rangers
Former Portsmouth and current Sheffield Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric is interested in buying Rangers.
The administrators revealed on Thursday they had already heard from parties interested in the crisis-hit club.
And BBC Scotland has learned the Serbian - last week cleared of two counts of tax evasion - is one of those to have contacted Duff and Phelps.
Mandaric, who has also been in charge at Leicester, took over at Hillsborough 11 months ago .Comment
