Club 9 Sports released a priceless statement tonight indicating they are considering an investment in Rangers only as part of a consortium and will not be bidding for the club on their own.
So far, so clear. They then entertain us with a remarkable interpretation of liquidation, saying:
“We understand that it has been strongly rumored that our group planned to “liquidate” the club. It should be made clear that any party that attempts to acquire the club, eliminate the debts, affect a turnaround, invest monies and put the club back on solid ground is in fact “saving” the club from liquidation and preserving its past and its future.
“In an asset purchase, all of the good and valuable assets (records, marks, names, trophies, players, staff, history) are preserved and separated from the bad and harmful liabilities (tax bills, bad contracts, creditors), which have put the club into administration and which act to force the entirety into liquidation.”
“Saving” the club from liquidation by putting the entirety into liquidation. Don’t laugh, they honestly wrote this.
For the record, you can’t sell history or records. Can you imagine? Britain could flog off our whole empire period and maybe use the current economic crisis in Greece to buy their classical period from them. Aristotle, from Scotland, perhaps.
Personally, I would love to be the first Briton to hold aloft the European Cup, maybe Billy McNeill would sell me that record? He’s had it for 45 years now, it can’t be worth that much to him anymore.
I wonder how much Messi would sell his record breaking Champions League history? Barca are playing catch-up with Real Madrid in the European Champions stakes. Instead of buying expensive footballers they could just offer Real cash for some of the trophies won during the 1950s.
David Murray should have saved himself all the trouble and just offered our old board a few million for the Lisbon history, just think:
Rangers, European Champions, 1967. Opportunity missed. Murray should have had a word with Club 9.
I’m enjoying these guys already, hope they are given the green light tomorrow. What terrified Brian Kennedy floats my boat. They even finished off with some sweet platitudes about a “legendary fan base”. I think we have a winner….

So D & P have had confidential talks with UEFA, the SPL and SFA?
I can imagine how that went.
UEFA: “So, D & P, you guys want newco Rangers to go straight back into the SPL. Stewart, Campbell and Neil, are you three happy with that?”
All: “Aye!”
UEFA: “Ok, if you guys are happy, so are we”
Campbell: “Any chance of a European licence while we’re at it?”
UEFA: “Naw, sorry”
Campbell: “Aw, never mind. Now that concludes business so if you excuse me, my merc needs replacing so I just have to go and withdraw £50K from my Rangers account. See ya!”
Morning all.
Have to say, I don’t like some of the quotes from that post Paul67!
“Rangers, European Champions 1967”.
I damn near be-breakfasted my keyboard!

People think they can say what they like and trample all over others,like Rankers et al. This is where we are:
It is way too late for dialectics or arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. The corrupt have the upper hand,worldwide. Here,in our polluted little island,we have a wholly corrupt Parliament. They need to go….they know how much they are reviled and ridiculed. They are enacting fascist policies at a staggering rate in order to keep the public off-balance,cowed and fearful. They will use the Army,in the final analysis. It wouldn’t be the first time. What we are witnessing is the death throes of Capitalism,and wild beast that it is,it won’t go quietly. ConDem/Labour/Whatever are all cut from the same cloth. It’s becoming threadbare. Fascism is the ultimate expression of Capital,and that is what we are experiencing. It requires cohesive resistance.
End of communique.
Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers are leaving it to Arsène Wenger and Mark Hughes to decide whether to reprimand Marouane Chamakh or Adel Taarabt for being pictured with shisha pipes after Saturday’s game between the sides.
The Gunners striker Chamakh and the Rangers midfielder Taarabt were photographed holding the pipes in a bar following the match at Loftus Road. The Morocco team-mates both featured in QPR’s 2-1 win over Arsenal. Taarabt opened the scoring with his first ever Premier League goal, while Chamakh came off the bench late on.
Chamakh has struggled to make an impact since joining Arsenal almost two years ago and has scored just once in 17 appearances this season. Reports suggest manager Wenger will look to offload the 28-year-old this summer.
Taarabt was the star of QPR’s Championship-winning season last term but, until Saturday, had failed to adapt to the top flight and came close to joining Paris St-Germain in January. The Rangers manager Hughes praised his performance against Arsenal and predicted the 22-year-old would become a “top Premier League player” providing he continued to harness his talent.
Shisha is a waterpipe in which fruit-scented tobacco is burned using coal, passed through a water vessel and inhaled through a hose. Smoking it is not illegal in the UK, although some clubs may frown on any kind of tobacco use.

think joe Craig scored at Easter Road to win the league in the 70’s..

Ditto – I’ve not read a single one of his posts in over two years. He probably doesn’t read mine – no probs. Each to his/her own (but imho he write drivel in a ‘drivel-like’ manner, never mind the actual content).
Kojos post does indeed look like a racial slur and he has some explaining to do with that comment.
There was no need for Partizans comment about P67 and CQN in general either.
maks sense to us.
Still…. laughin.

For anyone worried that they will liquidate, reform and be stronger than they were before, I don’t think you need to worry…
The cry was no surrender:
“Show The Red Card To Liquidation!
Anti-Liquidation Demo On Saturday!
On Saturday versus St Mirren 50,000 Bears will show that Rangers will not die by giving a red card to the threat of liquidation.
At kick off and in the 18th and 72nd minutes – 1872! – raise your red card and voice your determination not to support anyone who is trying to drag the club down into liquidation.
On Monday evening a meeting took place in Glasgow with host of fan groups to discuss the Bears fight-back against those who seek to do the club down.
Rangers Football Club have survived the good and the bad for 140 years , the vast majority being very successful for a club now known to be the most successful club in world football. Its more than just a club, it’s a way of life for far too many people the world over to simply give it up to faceless money men with no love nor interest in this famous fitbaw club.
It was agreed unanimously that we The Rangers support would fight tooth and nail against anyone or group who seek to liquidate the Gers.
The message is simple, sink us and we will sink you !
You won’t simply reform a newco and everything’s bright and rosy, not a chance in hell. The Rangers fan base united won’t allow it, no fans, no players, no sponsor. NOTHING
This Saturday we have arranged to allow every fan in Ibrox to show the administrators and any would-be liquidators the “red card”. 50,000 red cards will form part of display in protest at the enemy intent on finishing off The Rangers as we know it. Message banners and red cards will make our feelings clear as day, you are not welcome.
The display is NOT in favour of any individual bid/bidders, we simply welcome anyone with Rangers best interest at heart.
Feel free to bring your own message banners, we all know the rules !
The display will be set up on Thursday and Friday night , ALL Rangers fans are welcome to help set it up. To arrange help please email sie1872@googlemail.com
It’s our club, it was our fathers club and it will be the club of our children!
The Rangers FC forever!
It’s all about The Rangers!”
Talk about over-use of the exclamation mark!!!

April 9th 1977
0-1 (Joe Craig)
Easter Rd.
My memory is of Kenny Dalglish being carried around the pitch on his team-mates shoulders.
On April 9th 1977 Joe had the privilege of scoring the only goal against Hibs at Easter Road which brought the Premier League trophy to Parkhead for the first time. Unfortunately the Hibs chairman Tom Hart inexplicably banned the television cameras from recording the events of that day.
no cameras that day either….

Stylish Celts now set for Glasgow Cup final
By: Newsroom Staff on 04 Apr, 2012 09:20
CELTIC Under-17s had a resounding 4-1 win away to Queen’s Park on Monday night to round off their group fixtures in the Glasgow Cup. The victory means the young Hoops topped the section.
After going a goal down against the run of play, Celtic dominated the game. Goals from Paul McLellan, Denny Johnstone, Jamie Lyndsay and Lewis Kidd capped off an excellent performance and display of attacking and creative football.
Celtic can now look forward to the Glasgow Cup final and the opportunity to retain the trophy they won last season (pictured above).
They face Rangers at Ibrox on Monday, April 16 (KO: 7pm). Cash turnstiles will be in operation on the night and Celtic supporters will be allocated seats in the Broomloan front with prices set at £5 for adults and £2 for kids.
So get along and cheer on the young Hoops as they bid to keep green and white ribbons on the Glasgow Cup.
Hail Hail
Any Traynor accuses us of not helping the huns !!!!
blantyretim, kayal33, Roy Croppie,
Thanks. I had forgotten about that one.
So have we ever won a title at Hearts?

Sorry for being so presumptuous but was reacting to SPL statement
An SPL spokesperson said: “We’ll make an announcement in due course but Celtic won’t be presented with the SPL trophy at the Old Firm game.
“I don’t think anyone would expect us to present it especially to Celtic after the Old Firm match but we’ll let everyone know soon
Why “especially’ Celtic?
Just logged in ghuys,,What has CQN’s resident attention seeker (KOJO) said now,???

This show liquidation the red card is hilarious. Talk about closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.
If these cretins had listened to the message regarding Whyte rather than greedily gobbled up the paid for propaganda they would not be in this mess.
They are so deep in the mess now they have no options left. It is all out of their hands. They have 2 realistic options.
NewCo or Nothing.
A CVA cannot and will not be agreed. Nobody will keep them going with untold historical liabilities for loss of earnings suits by clubs at home and in Europe from the 2 contracts wheeze. With Ticketus in the mix actually having the money to pay a CVA with a debt value floating round the £100m mark is nigh on impossible.
That is where their short sighted, supremacist, moonbeam gorging attitude has landed them.
They are still being preened and stroked by the media rather than being hit with the cold facts.
When reality bites and the riots begin the media will be as culpable as Murray.
