Club 9, selling empire and Rangers European Champions 1967

628

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….

    Would that invitation be extended to advocating poor child killers? Disabled child killers… as long as they purported an allegiance to an ethos and brown nosed the host and his dad?

    I take it the return is less the further down the placings your selection/s is?

    Broadly speaking, what you say is true..

     

     

    However, some people support Celtic solely because they are a big, famous club who win things.

     

     

    Some of these people dont share the ethos you refer to, including the person who caused the stir this morning!

    The offending post was made at 00.34 this morning!

    I’m not sure mate, I don’t normally bet on golf but i would imagine so. Torontony or TET will have more of an idea so they might be able to tell you.

  6. Top of the morning to you all from a cold but bright Fife.

     

     

    I think we are going too far with mocking Ranger’s in their hour of distress.

     

     

    We should be taking them far more seriously and while I have myself been guilty of having a wee snigger about the butcher from Bridgeton with the sausage donation scheme to raise money for the hun fighting fund there are some worrying developments.

     

     

    The £5 a-head Sash-Bash in Lorenczo’s at Dunfermline might just be the beginning of an escalation of the drive to save the hun.

     

     

    Now I hear that Murdo Fraser MSP has written to Duff & Phelps, the administrator warning them that they should not liquidate!

     

     

    This is getting bigger than any of us realise. First Billy the Bridgeton butcher, then the Young Cowdenbeath Defenders Flute Band, and now a Big Noise in the Conservative Party, and the red cards idea.

     

     

    I am beginning to get really worried. What if they really get their act together?

  7. For those looking to have a bet on the masters,keep an eye out for

     

    bookies offers this week,2 decent ones i know of,

    and find 250 million quid ?

     

     

    then good luck to them

     

     

    HAil Hail

  9. Hamiltontim,

     

    check rules some bookies will pay out on 6 places,some only 5,

     

    its worth checking prices though to check where the value is,it

     

    may be better at times taking the gamble on a better price at the risk

     

    of losing out on 1 place

    I see hispost still stands. Hun speak on CQN what a disgrace.

     

     

    I would appreciate it if you could tell me what time Kojo posted his comments!!

     

     

    Hail hail

  11. kitalba, merseycelt,

     

     

    I haven’t seen the post that started this debate so my point was a general one.

     

     

    As a club all we can do is set out what we believe in. Folk who accept that ethos will join in. If others pretend to, I’m not sure what we can do. How do you tell someone they are not “allowed” to be a supporter?

     

     

    Even if we had a formal membership, all you could do when someone applies to join is get them to sign the usual small print saying they accept the rules.

  12. Bada Bing

     

    I wouldn’t rule it out, Reckon big changes to come in European football over the next 5 years.

    No worries mate

    Seemn thw waterboys last night. They were on stage at 8 did a one hour set of old stuff followed by a 20 min break. Then did a 50 min set of material from an appointment with( briliant stuff), then did 2 encores. In total show lasted about 2 hrs 45 mins.

     

    Enjoy!

    By challenging their unacceptable views eg racist comments, they either agree to change and remain part of the club or leave and join the rest of the huns on follow follow!

     

     

    kojo thinks he’s too smart to be a hun, not because his beliefs are so different from many over there, but because he can express himself eloquently. They wouldn’t tolerate his gibbering!

     

     

    HH

  15. Ibleedgreenandwhite : this is the time kojo got ‘clever’. It’s on page 6 or thereabouts.

     

    Kojo on 4 April, 2012 at 00:34 said:

  16. I see people referring to Kojo’s views as hun-like so an honest question – in general, is Ibrox any more racist towards black players than other grounds in the UK? I know they hate us, but does that still extend to all other non WASPS?

  17. ibleedgreenandwhite1 on

    I have asked a few times now only to be ignored,,ill try one more time!

     

     

    I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what time Kojo posted his comments,,it would save me having to trawl through every post from last night ,,,cheers!!

  20. thebhoyfromoz – way out of touch with UK music scene. Are the Waterboys still the same line-up as the original band? Were some of the band from Ayr?

  21. Kit

     

     

    I have no desire to be drawn into this but have you contacted Paul and ask for the post to be removed mate?

  22. DeniaBhoy

     

     

    His comment was worse than hunnish. I’d rather converse with Orange men than converse with somebody who held his views. His views are catholic only in their hate of all but their own and they are repulsive, and that is not my way, nor the way my father taught me was the Catholic or Celtic way.

  23. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!..Truth and Justice will always prevail on

    Does anyone know what sanctions / penalties the SFA are obliged to take for non- submission of audited accounts …?

    DeniaBhoy

     

     

    Do you know their history.?

     

     

    Their ethos of protestant supremacy is defined by hatred of any minority group and they are especially not keen on Irish Catholic Celtic players/managers who happen to be called Neil Lennon!

     

     

    Do the math!

  25. kitalba,

     

     

    Not exactly. A point was made about whether open to all included absolutely everyone. I replied to that without realising that the debate had actually started as a result of an earlier post from Kojo.

  26. Just bought the history of the Qing Dynasty. Thought it would go nice with the wee vase I bought at the Barras at the weekend.

  27. Golf Bet just watch for the moving goal posts.

     

     

    Last years OPEN on SAT or Sunday morning went down and bet 4 guys at 100/1 e/w wind was up they were 8 strokes behind or so and though worth a punt.

     

     

    Anthony Kim came 5th and I think another of my bets came up thought how smart am I

     

     

    Went to bookies and found out 5th and 6th place were only on the Thursday

     

     

    On the sat morning they were only paying down to 4th. :>(

     

    Though that was not apparrent to me when I bet.

  28. HT,

     

     

    for the first time in six years I can say YES,I have. Even when Paul has asked if I wanted derogatory personal posts against me removed I have saidlet them stand; even when othershave hijacked my name and posted obscene in my name I have asked Paul to let them stand. Since I HAVE been on CQN I have taken offence to a few posts but never have I asked for a post to be removed, but the ICB Cement Mixers riled me becasue a precedent was set. That turds post sets a new repugnant bench mark of what is and what is not allowed.

     

     

    If I use the ‘F; word in my disgust I will be yellow carded for swearing. Think about it.

     

     

    Read his post and think about it and think about how he wants all the diabled people to die and all the other repugnant posts he has put up.
