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.

Many of those who post on this site would profess to base their lives loosely on the teachings of Christ, even those of us who have no particular faith.
Christ told a wee story to try to guide us in life.
He told of a man who had been robbed & lay badly injured on the road.
Many people ignored the man’s plight & walked past him.
Finally a Samaritan, a member of a lowly regarded people, came upon the man, revived him & dressed his wounds.
Christ tells us this was a noble act.
Tommy Burns , a member of a sometimes lowly regarded immigrant people, found a refugee from poverty & misery & did what the Samaritan had done.
He helped him, without any other motive than than it was the right thing to do.
We don’t know what happened to the man who was assisted by the Samaritan.
It is not important.
Neither is it important how the recipient of Tommy’s humanity will eventually turn out.
Simply does not matter.

I read on here and realised the day Big Jock & the LIONS lifted the big cup was the day their demise started . The fact that we can tell & show our children & grand children the day the big cup came to Glasgow kills them. The fact that we could drove them down the road they went.
So Nearly 45 years later thank you Jock, still slaying huns even to the present day.

Lost 0-1 I’m sure.
Feruz won’t be the last…
Really disappointed to read what I did today.
Tommy and our club helped this boy and his family in one way or another.
The man and he is a man now has shown everything that I dislike in a modern day footballer…
Enjoy your cash wee man your conscience will come calling …..
One day
Mr Miller (No relation) sounds as if he was made for them and they were made for him.
As my best mate text me the other day – are we now just reaching a place where they, yes they, should become immune from any and all forms of ruling?
Because he’s wants Scottish football to tacitly, or otherwise, confirm that Rangers should be free from the notion of relegation. What would happen if the newco were just rank and hovered around the bottom of the league? Mr Miller says ‘No listenin’ – I refer you to that photo I have of the ruling bodies kissing my gargantuan bum.’?
I love his coda that the Rangers fans shouldn’t have to pay for the mistakes of others!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes they should you dolt!
Without resorting an endless stream of incoherent expletives…
I refer you to the ‘We deserve better campaign’ – what better validation of the fact that not only did they revere their past – they expected it to continue – whatever the cost.
Remember those early days when BBC was getting boycotted and ‘car parked’ because they had the temerity to vaguely hint there was trouble ahead?
Seems just right we should end up with an arrogant, bullish tub thumper setting down a scenario that he deems appropriate for a morally and fiscally bankrupt football club.
That the BBC and SKY have rushed to print every line from every single one of these chancers up to and including Miller is a daily reminder that the press has a default setting in regards to Rangers.
I can only imagine what the tone would be like if it was Celtic. And can only further imagine it wouldn’t even make the headlines if it was one of the other clubs.
In fact I was reminded of this the other day… A press conference coming your way soon…

I cant wait to play newco to the chants of ARE YOU RANKERS IN DISGUISE. Could be a fun day for all.

HT is quite correct, a 1-0 defeat for the Tyre Hoops. I wasn’t there myself, however a few of the Bhoys went down, said it was quite an atmosphere and all who attended did Blantyre proud.

Bill Miller’s math class:
Total value of ranjurz(ia) =£11.2M
Minus .5M deposit (?)
Minus +/-3.5M for Dumb & Dumber
New Total £7.8M (But only if they play in the SPL; they don’t suffer penalty points; they keep their history intact)
Why didn’t anyone else think of that!?!
The tin lid is that he will retain the services of Alistair McCoist!!!!!

Cheers wee bit late had nipped to the shop for some ciggies(filthy habit)
Just tweeted to BBC Sportsound from someone called Tom Watson…..
“St Johnstone vs Dundee Utd always an attractive fixture – blue & orange such a vibrant combination of complementary colours”.
He he, If that is not tongue in cheek then I reckon Tom should stick to golf.

When we lifted the BIG CUP way back in 67.
Such a monumental ocasion for Uk and particularly scottish football.
Who could have known then that we had created a holy grail for rangers to pursue at a cost so high it ended up destroying them.
Big Jock I believe knew the incredibly high bar that Celtic had set that day.
so many rangers men have been broken trying to emulate him, all have failed.
On Monday coming the 23rd April 2012 the final part of big Jocks gift to Celtic will be announced.
THE DEATH OF RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB.

That pic is one of the best I’ve seen.
Only two things are missing.
If you click on the All Celts home page you can wallow in ‘you’ll never walk alone’ while staring in wonder at the imagination that pulled the mental brushstrokes into something that encapsulates so much.
Once the music is in, only one thing is lacking…..
A picture of me and Anjelina Jolie sharing a Celtic quilt.
My mission on earth would then be complete. :-)

Anyone going to Hampden on Monday night for a party???

I remember the time that me and a frequent poster at the time had a cyber fight over Anjelina……you don’t see him around anymore. Be careful!!!!!
If I can find the tale of the tug of war (which If I remember involved my Celtic, my underpants, Paul le Guen and a waste paper basket) I will provide a link. :-)
