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.

  1. Rip Pablophanque, I would not have met so many fantastic people without your influence & example.

     

     

    Looking forward to Kano night tomorrow. BEST advice I can give for anyone going is…..

     

     

     

    DON’T GET STUCK STUCK BEHIND MWD IN THE BUFFET QUEUE ;-))

    Too short notice sadly.

     

     

    If we’re going to get our point across, now and in the future, then any protest or demonstration must be focussed and organised. I like the GB’s idea for Sunday though, if everyone participates then visually at least it will have the desired effect.

    Well done, there’s something special about being your own boss.

     

     

    As someone better than me once described it. ‘It’s so great to no longer have one single boss to kick yer ass. Now you’ve got loads (clients)’

  4. Sorry if this has been posted already.

     

    Ally McMoist football video game

     

     

    There have been numerous games throughout the history of the genre which have fallen by the wayside: Sierra’s Ultimate Soccer Manager, Elite’s Complete Onside Soccer and… Ally McCoist’s Director of Football.

     

     

    Released in 2001, the game allows you to manage some of the less glamorous sides of the game, including the expansion of your stadium, negotiating contracts and finding sponsorship. If you ever wanted to be part of the decision making process on the number of car parking spaces by your stadium, you genuinely can in this simulation.

     

     

    At the end of each in-game season your club is presented with a tax bill, but you can decide to risk further repurcussions by only paying a fraction of the money owed.

     

     

    The screen reads: “You can reduce the amount of tax by 50 percent, at the risk of being caught and facing a large fine. Do you wish to adopt this tax evasion?”

     

     

    Back to the future anyone……..

  5. Steve would have been 50 tomorrow and Steve being Steve

     

    would not be happy if we didn’t wait till midnight…

  7. Jobo – yes about buffet, no in relation to MWD ;-)

     

     

    I heard the reason it is a Michael Buble tribute act is because MWD ate the real MIchael Buble…

    Good stuff.

     

    Met Mrs Emus the other day. She gave me a lift home to Halfway.

     

    Told me of her encounter with the Spanish cave man.

  9. Interviewed recently by Glenn Beck on Fox TV,Mikhail Gorbachev stated quite bluntly,”Ah’m no tellin’ the coos how tae eat them cabbages…but if it wasn’t for the Magnificent Joe McCarthy,Zbyszek would still have a T-54 tank parked oan his front lawn…an’ you can take that tae the Bank”.

     

     

    Goodnight Wishy…

  10. Right, a bit late for this early riser so enjoy the rest of the evening and hope there’s some fine music for my morning scroll back.

  11. Unfortuntely for me Pablophanque preceded my time on this blog. With his birthday in 15 minutes, it would be cool for me and other noobs if someone could post a wee history of what appears to have been a excellent person.

     

     

    Also, anybody’s best story – after midnight of course.

    Was delighted Mr and Mrs Emu made a wee visit, it wasn’t ideal as we had a full house, maybe next time they are here, this July I think.

     

    Smashing family, see what I did there :>)

  13. So how is NFL going to set up on Sunday?

     

     

    I think the experimental back 3 will go.

     

     

    In it’s place – Matthews – Rogne- Chuck – Izzy

     

     

    Mid

     

    Broony – Victor – Joe

     

     

    Forward

     

    McGeouch – Hooper – Sammi

     

     

    I predict a few goals to the good 2- 0

  14. Junior was super excited when I told him we were going to pass Gary Hooper’s big hoose tonight on the way home from 5s…. He is now totally over the moon cos he spotted Hoops playing Kris Commons at snooker!!!
