In order to give a fuller picture of what the next few days could hold there is one useful piece of information but first a recap. Back in October I predicted the Cunning Ruse to liquidate Rangers and phoenix as a Newco. Then, when Duff and Phelps first invited offers to purchase Rangers assets we predicted only Craig Whyte’s proxy would be in a position to complete a deal.
Given the situation the proxy will inherit, one final prediction – based on some solid information:
The proxy hopes to start from the Third Division.
If Newco inherits Rangers share in the SPL and competes there next season it is liable for fines and penalties due from the SFA and SPL, including what will be the most severe censure handed out in the history of British football after the Improper Registration of Contracts issue is concluded. They will be hamstrung for many years, perhaps decades. They will also need to pay domestic and international football debts.
However, if the start from the Third Division, they do so without any legacy baggage from the old Rangers FC. This would allow Newco a predictable three year penury and allow them time to engage with supporters of Rangers before returning to the SPL in 2015. Season 2015-16 would be business as usual.
This is not a decision Bill Proxy can take, however, what happens to Newco is in the hands of the SPL. Listen out for Proxy’s puppets suggesting the Third Division route.
For us, it’s popcorn time, the ice-cream is stocked and the sparkling stuff is in the fridge, but in all seriousness, past, current and now future owners have absolutely trashed that football club. To paraphrase Tarantino, they’ve got medieval on their… face.
Pop! And they’re gone!

EKBhoy
There are TWO other possible grounds for the huns!
Broadwood – Empty from next season as Clyde are moving to Firhill.
Celtic Park – At half a million per game rent, plus gas, electricity etc and damages
Really interesting Paul. I’ve always felt I was in a minority of Celtic fans who wanted the original club to survive and be accountable for its crimes and misdemeanours.
The Lizard King, the tax man will get nothing but I expect trophies to be taken away and – if Newco inherits Rangers SPL share – for years of penalties for Improper Registration of players.
Yes to most of your other questions, hamstrung, etc.
VertWolf, no idea what the SFL are about but you will not hear the big news from them.
hamiltontim, that would work.
RogueLeader, yes, Third Div is clearly Miller’s best option, although, there are no good options.
EKBhoy, PROXY. Whyte can sell to a PROXY!!! Forget what he owns, if he sells to a proxy he still controls/can get his money back.
RaRaRasputin, true.
musters, I think you were in the minitory.
The Scream
The scream had broken every window in the house
Everyone had left, including the cockroach and mouse
There was no one there to hear his scream
A sound of anguish from a nightmare dream
The scream it woke him, as it had done every night
It wouldn’t go away, this nightmare of fright
All through the dark hours it haunted his sleep
He sat up in bed, looking a dishevelled heap
The scream still echoed through every room
It died away, replaced by a descending gloom
The morning paper said his nightmare had come true
No crime, no punishment for the cuckoo!

I like the way you’re thinking, and will add to your list with …
… plus tricolour, plus priests get in for free, plus the Thai Tims.
FF are arranging a protest for tonight by sitting on the pitch.
Oh please do that, pretty please.
Game abandoned….big fine…..they are the gift that keeps giving
Duff and Phelps are to organise the summer and January transfer deadlines.
The dates will be announced sometime next week
CW’s master plan from the get-go: Buy Ranjurz, run it into the ground, administration, liquidation, pick up £20 000 000 in clear profit, leave the jackals to pick over the bones. In the meantime: shaft the supporters (warchest?), shaft creditors (only pay those who take you to court), shaft HMRC (no small tax case, no big tax case, no NI, no PAYE).
Do all this in full knowledge that the media will ignore any bad news, will believe any sh1t you pump their way and will ultimately blame the authorities for the ruin of Ranjurz.

Every day is getting like groundhog day on here now. I just wish they’d hurry up and expire.
They’re taking longer to die than Jason Voorhees.
Speaking of popcorn… and ice cream… embdy else tried the stuff they sell in Waitrose?
Heston’s popcorn ice cream
It’s weird. I wasn’t exactly bowled over. I haven’t tried it with jelly. Not sure what flavour of jelly would be suitable. Bacon jelly, perhaps.

I hope someone’s investigated if the pitch can take their (over-)weight.

Rogue leader
thanks,
it seems a lot of money to buy a brand
So how can he argue that it is a newco with no sanctions, when he has bought oldco? all he would be doing is changing the name.
Is the Rangers fans’ protest taking place before during or after the game?
Ah gie up wi aw this

Someone else asked about 90 days thing I have just noticed on Rangers Tax case this morning.
Just incase anyone thinks i stole my thougts from there these are my own paranoid fears.
WorrysnakefcwillwiggleawayCSC
at least… at least… if NOTHING else…
newco means we can FINALLY put the boak inducing “old firm” phrase to bed once and for all.
i wonder if we can sue any commentators that use it for slander.
ps, is the “new firm” now rangers, and their 10 lackey accomplices?

If Whyte can sell to a proxy,how can anyone be sure that Murray didn’t do just that around a year ago?

congratulations to Mr Paul Clark of duff and phelps this morning as his wife gave birth to a baby boy , the baby weighed in at a massive 18pounds
the midwife who delivered the child stated that the size of the baby can easily be explained , Mr Clark cancelled the original date of the birth and asked for 3 further extensions, as it happened it was a twelve month pregnancy
I would accept:
• Oldco goes POP
• Newco goes into Div 3
• All tainted titles of Oldco are removed; expunged from history books
• All responsible parties involved in running of Oldco given a life time football ban.
I appreciate that this would do nothing for creditors, and give no recompense to Celtic for financial losses through footballing cheating, but for me would tick a lot of other boxes.
jc2 @ 11:20
Did you see my earlier question about when the 90 days actually started? remember D&P had to go back to court a week or so after their initial appearance because the club weren’t technically iA due to some procedural matter I believe
Anyone else hoping this all ends soon and to our satisfaction so we can get back to calling the centre-halves complete pish?
here’s what i don’t get…
why does anyone have to “buy” rangers? if they’re going into the third division anyway, should they not just do a FCUM and when the full fat version gets liquidated, jardine et al can advise the orcs to follow follow a club that will be applying for SFL membership, leasing ibrox, and playing in blue?
would that not save any prospective owner a purchasing fee?
either i’m being stupid, or 45,000 of them are. the jury’s still out.

That Jason Voorhees reminds me of Craigy White………
VOORHEES HE’S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.
The fact that FF are even hinting at the prospect of pitch invasions either tonight or on Saturday, will increase the policing costs/security for both matches
There really is no other way to describe them
STUPID HUNS
Jam,
It would also clear out the sfa :0)
Pop, and they’re gone. I like that but should it not read Pope and they’re gone.

sannabhoy – good meeting you Saturday. Apologies for inebriation level……
If the burro nights have pulled out due to not being able to buy cw’s shares. What is miller buying then?
lorbobo – Miller doesn’t need Whyte’s shares. The company Whyte owns shares in is getting liquidated….
