Stop press: charade continues

1208

Prospective Rangers owners, Brian Kennedy and the Blue Knight (I refused to continue to pluralise a singularity) have submitted a joint bid for the club, which they consider to be “substantial”, which should mean it’s worth a lot more than the £11.2m Bill Miller spoke about last week.

The offer is conditional on a CVA being approved and Craig Whyte’s shares being acquired.  For a CVA to be put to the unsecured creditors, the secured creditor, Craig Whyte, would have to be satisfied first.

Whyte’s security as a creditor is valued (by him) in the order of £30m.  All proceeds from the sale of the club up to this value go to him unless he waves his rights or is subject to lengthy legal challenge.  Only money over and above this value will be available to the non-secured creditors, most importantly HMRC and Ticketus.

So, unless Kennedy and the Blue Knight have bid considerably north of £30m, we’re not talking pennies in the pound, we’re talking pennies in the £100m.  In the event a CVA is concluded, Ticketus own circa the first 25,000 tickets sold for each game for the next three years.

Apologies for repeating the same story now for ten weeks: Craig Whyte is the only show in town, he always has been.  Unless you agree to purchase his shares and security, any bid is a fantasy.  I think I can hear Mr Whyte laughing from here.  Perhaps they’ll now stop blaming Raith Rovers.

Apparently, the charade continues.

One team in Glasgow,
There’s only one team in Glasgow.

    Do the Dresden Bhoys still drink in J J Beans (or something like that). I watched a few games in there seven or eight years ago. Good craic, good beer and good God some of the women………

    big question

     

     

    will C Murray ref the game fairly …if he does we`ll do them ..if not then problems

     

     

    surely he cannae cheat us twice in a month or thereby

    Didn’t say if he was going, but I’d be surpised otherwise. He can easily access the Oxford canal from the Grand Union, which is where he was this morning, in the pouring rain!!

     

     

    Pablo’s birthday today and a Friday, so he might still be on or later.

    Maybe wrong ,but pretty sure read a post

    Well, if he meant they could languish in the lower leagues for a few years and possibly eventually return to the SPL financially hamstrung, I could just about go along with that.

    Did you not referee a game on the final day of the season and make a controversial decision that cost the league,marred young kids for life if not longer?

    charade |SHəˈrād|

     

     

    noun

     

     

    an absurd pretense intended to create a pleasant or respectable appearance: talk of unity was nothing more than a charade.

     

     

    • (charades) a game in which players guess a word or phrase from pantomimed clues.

     

     

    ORIGIN late 18th cent.: from French, from modern Provençal charrado ‘conversation,’ from charra ‘chatter,’ perhaps of imitative origin.

  9. On Sunday the most important thing is that no-one connected to CFC get hurt

     

    Thats players and supporters where ever they are

     

    It would be nice to thump them by 5 or 6 but we really want to avoid serious injury

     

    The choice of MIB tells us that the huns will have free reign to kick anything that moves

     

     

    Bottom line is that for us there will be a new season in August

     

    the huns do not have that to look forward to – so being huns they will be programmed to destroy

     

     

    Stay safe everyone and stay strong Craigy – you know you bought that club fair and square for a County Down!

    More often than not “them” and Hertz will win if we have a man(men) sent off. So if the MIB behave and we keep all 11 on the park then we’ll win :-)

    Only that this could make the events of this week look like the calm before the storm

    that sounds like a line from silence of the lambs……

     

     

    same difference?

    My good lady has just poured me a nice glass of Jamesons. Coronation Street (or whatever) must be finished. I’m signing off to enjoy my wee glass of medicine.

     

     

    Hope everyone has a BIG smile on his / her face on Sunday. Give them a real doing bhoys and make sure they remember their last visit to Celtic Park!

    They have to tread very carefully as with a European dimension it can come back to bite them with some venom on the collective well-rounded arse. Interesting times ahead, no doubt

  15. Summa of Sammi – have been away for a while and completely missed the passing of Steve R. Only met him a couple times – we swapped our fave music – and didn’t like each others! But he was such a lovely guy – almost exactly the same age as me coincidentally. Can’t believe he’s no longer with us and gone at such a young age.

     

     

    Thanks for the note of this special day.

     

     

    Happy birthday Pablophanque – which he told me was something to do with the Beatles. Not sure he was impressed with my (lack of) musical knowledge!! Wherever you are I still think Mike Oldfield is better :-))

    And didn’t the silence of the succulent lambs bring us here in the first place?

    Shocking, no not fat sally’s comments but that’s my first drink of the day.

     

     

    Having a bottle of “lost sheep” £5.99 from M&S must recommend it, indeed will finish the bottle and have another :)

    The reason why Moisty and Jardine have been inciting the huns to degenerate behaviour is because there is no one in control at ibroke. It’s they only way they have of feeling like they are in control. :)))

     

    In truth it is the only control they have left and it’s only succeeding in distancing them selves from the only people who can actually save them. Nice.

  20. Bobby Evans Superstar:

     

     

    Did you ever see Evans play- if so how good was he?

     

     

    Who would you compare him to now?

     

     

    He is something like the 7th in club history for app… Nearly 550 games. He must have been goid because he nearly got 50 caps for Scotland…we all know the history of our national team.

    Indeed it did, and it seems like an eternity ago this juggernaut stated rolling down the hill….and it keeps on rolling,

     

     

    wonder what itll hit?

  22. A Dresden CSC? Wow! Sister lives in Fetscherstrasses used to be Mendelsohnallee – if I’m visiting will make sure I look in on these pubs during game time.

    Thought Thommo was very smart in his press conference today. We have no problem with Calumn, have a lot of respect for him…yada yada yada

    Not Easterhouse by the way.

  24. Still no contrition or remorse from Govan way.

     

    Now we are getting rabble rousing of the worst kind

     

    from those who deny the truth.
