how about making it realistic by putting them where they deserve in the 3rd division with low crowds and no good players?

I can help you with that if you like?

I would also change their name but I don't believe the editor allows it for them. shame

As a Rangers fan i done this before the takeover. Re-named us and created a new company called Glasgow Rangers. Made the old club Extint, transfered only youth players (of which the better ones soon get unhappy) and moved the senior players to clubs which they'd have realistically looked at. I also kept the old club in the database for the history, all the titles etc and player history. Basically if i look at the SPL it says Rangers won 3 in a row but you cant click on it. If i look at players history it says they played for Rangers but again you cant click it.

The only flaw with it i found was that players whos favrotie club was Rangers still supported the non-existant club. I just wanted to play and lots of results to change em all.

Realistically, the new Sevco Ltd cannot be named Glasgow Rangers. They cannot have any name that has any reference to the previous name whatsover, so the word Rangers is not possible.

I done this before i knew really what was happening so i just picked a name i thought was related to the club.

Also the official newco name is "The Glasgow Rangers Football Club" surley this is closer to the old company than Glasgow Rangers.

I never thought of dropping them down leagues, i think i will do that.. so is there anyway of getting them out of admin??

If they are in admin at the start of the game then what you have to do is open up the start in admin edt file with something like notepad then remove the entry then save. You'll have to start a new game for this to work though. You can also use an edt file to swap them with a team thats in the 3rd division. You'll also have to start a new game for this to work. You can get more information about edt files in the editors forum.

of course they can. Leeds United are still called Leeds United.

Leeds United didn't to bankrupt, the club was never wound up.

Also, I believe they can have Rangers somewhere in their name. Unless the rules have changed, back in the early 90's, Aldershot in Englands (old) 4th division went bankrupt and reformed as Aldershot Town.

neither were Rangers. The company which owned the club was. That applies to both Leeds & Rangers. Leeds United AFC Became Leeds Untied FC. Just because the rules in England may forbid something it doesn't mean the rules in any other country do. Leeds are a newco as are Middlesborough, Charlton, Wrexham and Rotherham I believe.

Interesting. I certainly didn't know that. Therefore, Rangers can still have the word Rangers in their name? I realize this is a debate outside of FM, but it's interesting. As I understand it, Rangers did go bankrupt, otherwise, why the need to "relegate" them? As a non-league fan, I am fully aware of many club going bist and having to change their name and start life in a much lower league (Croydon Athletic for one most recent).

Sorry, Incorrect, only the company that owns them changes. Realistically, all clubs are "Ltd company/PLC" trading as "Football Club"

The club ownership changed, not the club. Regardless of what happened to the old PLC, Rangers is Rangers, just like Middlesborough, Leeds, and, even Celtic (Pacific Shelf 1994 Ltd was their "newco"). The only reason this gets so much hysteria is that in Scotland, its a big club, and, the media are attrocious and love to create hysteria. Goldfish bowl syndrome.

And, thanks for this thread, I wondered about the start in admin thing, I wanted to do some league creation and this will help

It's you that is incorrect I'm afraid.

Club and company are one and the same. Rangers own failed CVA proposal stated: "Rangers Football Club was founded in 1872 and incorporated as the company in 1899." .. UK Law states: "Incorporation establishes the club as a legal entity in it's own right." ... The definition of incorporate: "To unite (one thing) with something else already in existence."

Therefore, in 1899, the club founded in 1872 BECAME a company and in 2012 that company/club, died. The club's own website says: "Rangers formally became a business company. Rangers Football Club Limited was established in March 1899."

Became is the key word. Rangers, the company AND the football club are dead.

Utter tosh. Look at Leeds etc. Even when oldco is liquidated (which it hasn't been yet), all court documents show that the club and corporate entity are distinct and separate.

Look at Andrew Dickinsons twitter - an official club spokesman and journalist for confirmation. Ignore the sad Celtic fans (with 1 post on these boards, about guess who?) who hate Rangers more than they love their own club. Rangers still exists, just as it did before and has since 1872.

You have to find it entirely sad that Celtic fans go out their way to try to nonsense the history of the Club that is still there and is still attached to the new club... Even on a computer games forum. Unbelievable.
