Bizarre fantasy-rant from Miller

1206
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Big Bill Miller makes magic incubators that are made by his company ‘Panacea’- they specialize in placing incubators inside incubators ( russian doll style)…Big Bill has had a lifelong obsession with incubators- he has put everything from his garden tomatoes, his children, gazebos, flying squirrels, square sausages & even football clubs into his incubator- many of his friends have described big Bill as a chronic incubator…he swears by the power of the incubator to make a better future not just for the world but football clubs: “we can save the world if we can put it in an incubator” said Bill.

    My mate whilst waiting on a haircut was reading his local paper which was highlighting that it’s 20 years ago this month that Celtic put forward their proposals to move to Cambuslang.

     

     

    Oh how we were mocked by the huns, oh how they poured scorn on us and our desperation. Oh how they ridiculed our squad and our lack of success on the field of play.

     

     

    Well they’re not laughing now.

    Got this off the bbc sports

     

     

    Miller added: “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.

     

    “It is my strong view that Rangers and their fans should not continue to be punished in the future for the past failures of others.

     

     

    Take it he will be walking away as well. ;)))))))

    And the penny drops…

     

     

     

    Bears & Bearettes

     

    I think it’s time for us to face the

     

    truth, something we have been

     

    trying to ignore for far too long. For

     

    me, liquidation is more and more

     

    inevitable every day that passes.

     

    I sincerely hope that I am wrong,

     

    and somehow one of the bidders for

     

    the club can step forward with a

     

    credible plan for a CVA which will

     

    allow the club to continue in it’s

     

    present form.

     

    However, for me all of these delays

     

    are to ensure that there is no

     

    alternative. We are at least a week

     

    past the final date for naming the

     

    preferred bidder and we are no

     

    further forward, plus it seems like all

     

    of the bidders are being scared off

     

    by Ticketus (and therefore kind of by

     

    definition, Craig Whyte) moving the

     

    goalposts constantly. I think we are

     

    past the point of rescue and

     

    liquidation is the only way that any

     

    kind of “New Rangers” will be able

     

    to compete in any level of Scottish

     

    football.

     

    However, at what level and indeed

     

    how competitive that team will be is

     

    more than open for debate! We will

     

    be a team with no history, little in

     

    the way of money coming in,

     

    probably unable to gain anything by

     

    the way of a credit rating (not that I

     

    would be looking for much) and a

     

    split fan base with more than a few

     

    voices declaring that they would feel

     

    no draw towards a newco team. We

     

    would also have a team made up of

     

    journeymen at best, with youngsters

     

    making up the vast majority of the

     

    team! Would this be good enough to

     

    challenge and keep the fans coming

     

    through the turnstiles?

     

    The next few weeks could see the

     

    death of a giant of world football,

     

    the most successful club side in the

     

    world could be no more. If it can be

     

    avoided (which seems scant hope to

     

    me now to be honest) then all well

     

    and good, but I reckon the points

     

    above about the team would still be

     

    the same. We as ‘ordinary fans’ can

     

    only sit, hope and pray until the

     

    outcome becomes clear. We can

     

    hope for the best, but in my view the

     

    time has come to prepare for the

     

    worst!

     

    I would appreciate comments on

     

    this, bear in mind that I am only

     

    airing my own personal views!

    Are the huns possessed by incubi- is ibroke an incestious breeding ground for demonic forces? Maybe we have a Rosemarys Baby moment down south Govan way- we need a Holy Roman priest to dispel the beast within…quick: give Duff & Duffer the 24 hour exorcism hotline number!

    I have been listening to the half hour news broadcasts about the Miller bid on different stations, BBC, Clyde, Talksport.

     

     

    I was about to congratulate the announcers on keeping a straight voice but I swear the last one at 17:30 on Talksport was starting to lose it.

     

     

    Don’t blame her.
