At least one club will be supported through and through

1118

I can’t tell you how many statements I’ve read from those trying to bring down Newco Rangers (bonne chance) but not one comes near to approaching the key question: what can they offer the the men and women who own shares in Newco to convince them to accommodate their future aspirations?

Threats, intimidation and blackmail are all possible incentives, but no one has actually put a case forward which would compensate the investment made by the shareholders who, let’s remember, own all club assets.

An enormous assumption appears to have been made that hedge funds and various Easdales will capitulate and simply walk away and sign their paid-for assets over to a group who are regularly abusive towards them.  It’s like 2012 all over again, when parts of the world assumed HMRC would capitulate and agree to a CVA for Oldco, despite all genuine evidence (i.e. published policy) indicating otherwise.

Game Theorists would have a ball with this scenario.  Shareholders are being offered a choice, hand over your assets to a hostile opponent or attempt to continue with a vastly reduced business.  The former option should not be taken seriously.

Question is, where does this particular game end?  It’ll not be in an outcome satisfactory to many of those dreaming of ‘competing with Celtic’ anytime soon.

This mind-set should be familiar.  It’s the same one which blamed Celtic, or small-minded small clubs, the SPL and/or SFA, blamed anyone, in fact, apart from those who endorsed years of overspend at Rangers, for their eventual demise.

Walking headlong into unsustainable debt is no different than walking headlong into a conflict with hedge funds who would sell your valued acre for landfill rather than be held to ransom.

I’ll renew my season tickets tonight (still annoyed I didn’t do so in time for the free ticket draw).  Whatever happens in the wider scheme of Scottish football, one club will be supported ‘through and through’.

  4. Interesting insight into the sacking of Moyes at ManU.

     

    Eamonn o neill(I think) was on radio scotland alongside Cosgrove at lunchtime

     

    Eamonn talked bout the similarities between Moyes sacking and that of corporate big wigs.

     

    He pointed to the ‘subtle’ leakage on modern media/twitter etc followed up with the nod and briefing to several top journalists who had it in time for sunday sports sections.The end result was the harshness of the news was punctured.

     

    ManU just acting like the world brand they are ib the corporate sense

     

     

    Just thinking and contrasting easdales remarks and off the cuff administration warning (director not to confident of future-weird or wit)

     

    2 opposing Plc strategies lol

    Warsaw had about 3-400,000 Jews out of a total population of just over a million,I believe.

     

     

    No idea about the second part,but I’ll guess Kiev.

    Ole dick Byrne hurry in’ home to check fragility of ole wallet.

     

     

    I think his fears are groundless; the ole wallet bein’ about as fragile as depleted uranium.

    There’s now only 2 ways to go. Sale and lease back of Ibrox & Murray Park, (Buyer in place) or Administration, (lawyers ready to go). #sad

    “Eremenko made his début against Celtic in recent 3-0 Commons hat trick game”

     

     

     

    No he didnt. It is not even his 2nd debut as he started matches prior to playing us.

  20. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon, supporting WEE OSCAR..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Do not be surprised if it transpires that laxative ‘engineered’ all this……..once they realised that the only way to make ANY money out of this financial basket-case was to sell assets….. You haven’t been duped, mr ming….have you??

  21. Of course the Irony is in Easdale saying ‘ I doubt we would survive another administration’ when we all know they didn’t survive the first!!!

     

    Deluded fools to the end.

     

    Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

  22. Some Sevconians on twitter are asking ….. Do u think they’re blackmailing us to renew?

     

     

    Hehehehehehehechortlechortlechortle

    If it wasn’t for all the ole asbestos the piranha brothers would be settin’ fire to the marble halls and claimin’ the insurance.

  25. If a company went into Administration and was subsequently liquidated, how can the same company then go into a “second” administration.

     

     

    Obviously it cant, so the up and coming administration of the new company must be the first administration.

  26. Had a busy day, hearing Easedale quoted as saying he would not rule out the club going into administration again…have I missed something when did the first administration event take place, I mean they only gave birth in 2012!!

     

     

    As I have posted before, you, me and everybody that is neither a member of the establishment, MSM or a follower of the dead club or the current incumbents at ibrokes know they are a new club but they will not.

     

     

    I hope and Pray that Easedale’s fears that they will not recover from administration will come to pass and then just maybe we will dispel this myth that it is a second event and everything that played and associated with the establishment club will be gone just like Third Lanark.

    You are right Phil has been off the mark of late.

     

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

     

    Hail Hail!

    If they hurry up with the ole administration they could get the points deducted from this season.

  28. See the guys coming up with excuses not to buy a ST, you make me sick. I don’t buy a ST to keep lawwell in a job or to give people a living wage or to support Lennon or because I like the GB or what ever shite people come up with, I buy a ST and go to the away games to support the guys on the park NOTHING ELSE, if you don’t want to go don’t but don’t try to justify not going with shit excuses it dosent wash it’s pathetic
