[QUOTE="scotscheese, post: 536802, member: 9400"] it cracks me up when all the rangers fans kept going on about how they're team/club were being victimized, and how they should get preferential treatment as they were one of the "big two". i admit some of the sanctions against the new company were much more severe than had happened at other clubs that had went in to administration, and i do not agree with that happening. but there is just not the money being invested in scottish football to keep clubs going like they used to, this falls mainly on two(maybe three) events shoulders(my opinion only) 1. the TV revenue being offered for scottish football in the last 20 or so years since the sport has been more and more commercialised,(sky, BBC, setanta, ESPN) all have a part to blame here. sky willing to pay 400 Million for 3 years coverage of epl, but maybe only 10-15 million for the same period of scottish footy(please note not exact figures) 2. the bosman ruling also had a huge impact as there was not the same transfer monies coming into the scottish game, which would then trickle down to the lower teirs of the leagues 3. the old firm monopolising the revenue streams coming in and getting a larger than fair share compared to the rest of football in scotland, at least before the bosman ruling they would have to pay to steal all the best players from other scottish clubs(though never playing them), so that source of income virtually vanished for a lot of lower tier clubs [/QUOTE]
