Someone forwarded me the statement from US based Bill Miller which I read and ignored, thinking it was a wind-up. Incredibly, it’s ““Real””.
Bill tells us he will invest £11.2m into the club and:
“There is no way that Ticketus would agree to accept a “pence on the pound.
“It is apparent that there will be several lawsuits that will emerge in relation to a potential CVA exit.
“In order to preserve the club’s history, records, championships and assets, I will put the “heart” of the club into an “incubator” company while Duff & Phelps works to make the “sick patient” healthy through a CVA process that effectively works to “radiate” the toxicity of past administrations’ sins out of the patient while the “healthy heart” is preserved and moves forward.”
The above is an actual quote. I’m not even sure the pubs are open in America at this time of day.
But Bill, the “sick patient” owns the stadium, and as you suggest, a CVA would be prolonged. Craig Whyte owns security over the stadium and your refusal to deal with him might make playing there…. awkward. Any creditor, like HMRC or Whyte, could and perhaps would challenge a disposal of assets like the one you suggest.
He goes on:
“Any suggestion that Rangers history is lost by such a process is preposterous.
“Using such logic, Rangers would not actually have a 140-year history as its current corporate structure was only created in 1899. To suggest that Rangers thus have only a 113-year-old history is absurd.”
We’ve explained this one before. Rangers were incorporated 113 years ago; “Real”. The same entity, owning the same assets, existed pre-incorporation as an unincorporated football club.
Buying and selling history is almost as entertaining as buying the Eiffel Tower in cash off a guy in a Bellshill pub. If it’s possible, I demand Celtic PLC get off their bums and buy the history of ancient Greece.
Bill adds:
“My offer is contingent upon the regulatory bodies agreeing that the club will begin play in the 2012/13 season in the SPL and that they will do so without any loss of points and with all historic titles intact.”
Ah, “contingent upon”. A condition; just what Duff and Phelps asked to be excluded. You’ve underplayed this one, Bill. If the SPL will agree to this they will surely agree to give you a 10 point bonus next season, just for being so nice.
“The time for talk is over. The club is in serious jeopardy of dying. “Real” [sic]liquidation is looming.”
I like this guy. He sounds like a “Real” level headed custodian for Rangers. Alas, I fear Duff and Phelps will be in sombre mood when next we hear from them.

Yet it appears they just have.
Anyway, it was written by a man who thinks Craig Whyte paid google to delete his internet history and that’s why scottish journos didn’t know he wasn’t a billionaire or had been disqualified as a director.

Fabregas need to improve.
He’s not as good as the english media or
he think he is.
Spanish footie is so far ahead of the EPL.
I’ll go for 4 out 4 in the 2 European finals are Spanish.

I still dislike Madrid manager because his tema cheated us in a cup final 9 years ago….
I dislike Giggs for cheating us also..

Praecepta,
never noticed if you posted any info,
how did you get on with your Masters bets?
_________________________________
Answer to HT got buried amongst the injury time pen. Got 50 back – had bet @ 33/1 – 2nd bet was after the off so @ 16/1 = 50/1 divided by 5.
Kind of followed their logic – gave me free Grand Nat bet by way of apology – had the 2nd (on the line) @ 16/1 ew .
After steward’s enquiry and semi-final bet – think I am 20 in front! :-)

Footie has become more of a mental game.
It’s about reading the pass and making the correct runs.
Barca are the masters.

The Barca ‘in-play’ might be the bet .v. Chelsea – with 5mins to go had them @ 6/1 when they hit the post. :-(
Sure Chelsea will defend deep – Barca will be a decent price if they have to win the game in the second 45mins.

Aye, my local team who would be in about div 135, would blow the lower reigons of the spl away, and I mean that, as long as they were refereed fairly, you have to see it to believe it, even the school kids are budding stars, alas not to be,there are not the places for them all, shame really, but just the way it is.

missed you at beamback for league win
Good Evening CQN,
After watching the events over the last few weeks it is quite obvious to me, the SFA/Establishment were not going to allow Celtic to win in style this season. Norris, like Gollum and Murray before him made sure this was not going to be the Season it should have been (like many others before).
What made me happy was seeing the fire in Neil Lennon’s belly again, he has played a blinder despite these cheaters trying to get this amazing young up and coming manager down by cheating him out of both cups and a memorable title win at Ipox.
Celtic are going to Grow from these bad experiences, Neil will utilise these things to harden these young men quicker for future Celtic successes, of that I have no doubt.
It will be very interesting to see what transpires when Neil is up before the SFA the next time.
A song for our extremely intelligent manager, not that he needs the inspiration as he has decided he is all in now and he is the figurehead of the real Celtic Men Women and Children.
Don’t let the Establishment grind you down
