Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
I feel for Scotish football, i really do even though all my family are Celtic supporters it isn't right that clubs such as kilmarnock etc should be reliant on Rangers staying in the Top Division it will be a travesty though if they are allowed to continue in the top Division, there is a presidence around europe for relegation down a division for financial iregularity on the scale that has been proven here, coupled with going bust then the mere suggestion of a 6 point penalty is indeed no real penalty at all, even with a transfer imbargo and a few of their players leaving, The New Rangers will still avoid relegation with real ease and in 3 years will be back in European football with their directors and new players starting to earn big bonuses again. I think a fairer outcome would be relegation down a division and a 12 point deduction, and 20 per cent of gate takings for the next 3 seasons be donated to the Scotish Premier League TV distribution fund as compensation to the smaller clubs. Plus what a boost this would be to the other small clubs in division 1 getting to play Rangers 4 times in a season. If this seems harsh, look at Juventus... they was relegated but it wasn't really a punishment was it, look at them now just a few seasons later.
