There was never any doubt that Honest Dave King would be ordered to make an £11m offer to minority shareholders in Newco Rangers after an enforcement today by the Takeover Appeals Board.
King’s counsel claimed he was “penniless” and unable to make good on the offer, which is a legal requirement on any individual or individuals acting in concert, acquire 30% of a company. I initially considered it was unlikely that many shareholders would accept the 20p price, but the Sinking Ship Scenario is in play. This may be shareholders last chance to recover any investment in Rangers Mark II.
Of course, none of this would have happened if they stuck with the Easdales and Mike Ashley, or Charles Green and Mike Ashley, of anyone else who was able to employ a Nomad or attract tens of millions of pounds investment. But glib and shameless Geppetto wanted control and he pulled all the right strings.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the game tomorrow.

MAH. Great to hear your news and your positive attitude to your health situation. St Peregrine must be working hard at interceding for you. You continue to be in my prayers.
Alastair James Johnston hope you are here to see the 10IAR, then you can go to hell.
HH.
Jamesgang,
Just mailed you, but it’s from a different e-mail address to the one i gave you earlier, so it may go into your junk folder ( they usually do :-). )

2 goals in 2 minutes for Arsenal, 2 each.
Game on.
3 goals in 5 minutes – 3-2 Arsenal.
Unbelievable.
MAH –
Delighted to hear your news from today.
Hope all goes well with the treatment.
Decent response from the Arse, but the Liverpool defence makes our boys look good :-)))
We’re critical of our defending at times.
Arsenal and Liverpool spend 10 times what we do and look what they’ve got.
MA&H
Great news today, might be a long road but as many others have said any positive is a good thing, a great relief to an extent for your nearest & dearest, all the very best, I attended 10am mass at St Augustine’s today as it was end of term primary school mass (am rubbish at going every Sunday never mind during the week) but MissGFTB ordered me to go as I wasn’t working this week, my thoughts were with you & your family even though I have never met you, also was thinking of our own AoW who was attending his sister-in-laws funeral today, funny thing Cqn for me it’s great for Celtic stuff positive or negative but sometimes there are far more important things out there, anyhow Celtic the morra, I hope Aberdeen try and do a Hearts and press us, (Hearts only managed to keep that up because the 3rd goal gave them belief) because without being too complacent I think the better team always win in the end
Hail Hail
3-3 noo!
Witagemme!
I take it back about Craig Gordon, he’s world class compared to these two chocolate wrists in the Arsenal Liverpool game. Defending make big Dedryck look like Baresi
Hi Bhoys
What took the judge so long to announce his decision re the takeover panel,when everyone knew what the outcome had to be.
Was it good timing ?
Could it be that king now has 30 days to comply before the cold shoulder is applied thus allowing them to try and navigate their way through the transfer window. Bring in MORE duds and try and get rid of Pedro’s duds without the cold shoulder being an impediment to their business dealings.
Just asking.
KEEP THE FAITH
TONYROME-Bla Bla Bla-get the music started:-))))

They can’t afford new players and they can’t afford to dump the ones they’ve got so don’t think the timing has any bearing.

BIG PACKY
Nightmare!
Get to the hospital asap as bites can be nasty long term
Keep us posted!
Big Packy …. sounds horrific! hope you and frankie and bennie are ok….sounds like you stepped in and took the worst of it (that is what a good dad does!) …. philbhoy’s advice is sound… get yourself sorted out. I’ll check in later to see how you are doing… otherwise, if you are feeling up to it, drop me an email and let me know how the three of you are doing.
Big Packy: terrible attack. Get yourself and dogs looked after pronto.
Don’t know what to expect from tomorrow’s game. We’ve looked jaded recently but delighted we’re on the road to two in a row since Wednesday night.
Armstrong has not been the best this season but I thought he was very good when he came on last Sunday and his goal on Wednesday was pure class. First name on team sheet for me tomorrow.
Hello again all you young rebels.
It’s that time of the year again, Christmas is almost upon us
and a new year gets ever closer, thats when we tend to look
back and assess our lives.
CQN has brought hundreds of the Celtic family together over
quite a few years from all over the world, we’ve shared all
our troubles, recipes, opinions, everything, including sympathy
and prayers for those less fortunate it’s what defines the
Celtic family.
If you remember last year PADDYMACOZ and myself ran a wee
quiz for everyone and the prize was a Mornington Social Celts
polo top which GEAROID won, this year everything being hectic
we decided to have a player ( blogger ) of the year from CQN, it
had to be a person who we felt contributed the most to the
blog with their understanding of peoples emotions, tantrums,
flounces , and being able to bring them back in to the forum
once again, and apart from all that the person we have
nominated ( step forward BMCUW ) is a really nice fella and a
good human being, so our much sought after top is on it’s way
to you as i type, well done Michael.
Also i’d like to thank all of you or members of your family on
behalf of our CSC here in Oz who gave us a visit last year and
there were many, ( did EDDIEINKIRKMICHAEL get home yet? :-))
And lastly i’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a
Hoopy New Year.
God bless each and everyone of you for being a part of the best
family in the world the Celtic family….Wha’s like us.
H.H Mick

Two months to the day since my darling Jackie taken away from me, asking for thoughts and prayers on here turned into an avalanche especially when other posters lost family.
I saved every one, and they give me much comfort.
A peaceful Cristmas to all and God bless to CQN’S

Not much chat about the game tomorrow.
On the basis that I don’t think the sheep are up to much I think we will win by 3 or 4, no matter what team Brendan picks.
MAH,
Just Do It!
