You know, I know, even those denying reality for a year know, Craig Whyte is the only show in town. So if Our Hero does a deal for his shares and Ibrox Stadium – and that deal is not with the Blue Knight (singular), you have proof positive of the degree of concert between Whyte and his ‘buyer’.
If the Blue Knight gets the nod as preferred bidder tomorrow it will be a considerable relief for Rangers fans. Murray’s plan for a CVA lies in tatters but at least he is a Rangers fan and has committed to sell shares to fans to increase their control of the club. They will remain in a horrible situation, but at least it will be their horrible situation.
The alternative may be for a new buyer who tries to hoodwink fans with superstitious nonsense while hoping they don’t notice his plans to break their history, LIQUIDATE RANGERS, break their history, permanently erase the digits 1872 from merchandise (apart from Celtic fans doing irony) and break their history.
If it’s Bill Miller, perhaps someone should “delete the Google records” (a small joke from a few weeks ago) of everything Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy said about the American’s bid, what it actually is and what it means for the future.
Popcorn time!

Bill Miller is to Craig Whyte as Don Corleone is to Snow Whyte.

Geeza break BOB ffs

poolbhoy –
So why do you believe Celtic FC will be to blame if Rangers are still in the SPL next season?
Never mind waiting to see what happens next season. Just don’t go back, regardless of what happens. Celtic don’t need supporters like you.
Good morning. Lifted from RTC and well worth a read:

Could this be the same Mr Millar who has bid for RFC(IA)?

Good morning friends from a grey and damp East Kilbride.
Some people are proposing that, should Newco Huns be allowed straight back into the SPL, Celtic should immediately submit the statutory 2 years notice of their resignation from the SPL.
That would all be very well if the SFA said they understood their reasons for resigning and would do all in their power to assist the club in finding an alternative league, but that just will not happen.
If Celtic were to resign from the SPL they would be at war with the SFA.
The SFA is affiliated to UEFA and FIFA and as such, both the European and World governing bodies would be on the SFA’s side of the war and Celtic would be left high and dry without a league to play in.
Talk of UEFA and/or FIFA being sympathetic to Celtic after resigning from the SPL is pure fantasy.
I don’t want Celtic to disappear because of the Huns. That would give them the last and biggest laugh of all.
Hail Hail.
Good morning Jobo (and all CQNers) from a 42degree UAE desert

True words from our manager:
” I enjoyed it – two managers sticking up for their own team. Was there a huge public outcry over it? No. They talk about a bit of a spat. When we do it up here, there’s two pages on it, I get singled out, demonised, and I’m the snarling presence on the touchline. So I don’t think I get a fair deal at times.”

TTLT link above:
As some may be aware these Club 9 Sports types have me and some other Wednesday fans genuinely worried. Hard to find any examples of deals that they (or their “affiliates” Tobacco Road Capitalists, Prometheus Capital and Dornoch) have actually done.
However, Tobacco Road does list 5 deals on its website. Turns out 4 are just companies that Jon Pritchett used to work for so not ACTUALLY deals. The one proper “deal” – you know, money in, investors etc, was Total Sports Entertainment, which they list as an “achievement” went bust in 2004 owing millions and losing shareholders a small fortune which led to lawsuits in 2004 accusing Jon Pritchett (partner in Club9 and potential future owner) and a gentleman named Bill Miller of breach of contract, wrongful conversion of company monies, mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud – not saying they DID these things, but there were lawsuits.
http://charlotte.bizjournals.com/charlott e/stories/2004/03/01/daily36.html
So imagine my concern when I found out that just last month “Club 9 Sports” was touting a deal to take an Ice Hockey team to San Diego (deal never actually happened) and the supposed “money man” – remember C9S has no money of their own – was a guy named Bill Miller who in the 4 years since declaring TRAC/TSE bankrupt had apparently moved to Tennessee and become a “towing tycoon”.
http://www3.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/ mar/09/no-home-for-hockey-sullivan/
Made me worry that this Bill Miller (bankrupt/accused crook/towing tycoon) might be involved in our deal. After all Club 9 has no money of their own – they are just a special purpose vehicle set up purely to do a deal with Sheffield Wednesday apparently – so they must have backers. I just hope Bill Miller is not one of them – if anyone would care to ease our fears, because these Club 9 blokes seem hard to get comfortable with and they certainly have not always had a successful track record, if indeed they have a record at all other than this one failed company-that-never-was.
I am genuinely concerned – some transparency would be nice as to who Club 9 Sports really are and who, if anyone, is backing them.

….and this little gem from the second link (referring to a certian William Miller):
In a press release about the suit, shareholder Edward Garland says, “The company and its directors thought they were getting an experienced CEO capable of completing the company’s team auto racing concept. Instead it got a man full of greed who wanted control of the company for himself.” j
A match made in heaven!!

Morning All
Are they dead yet?
I think this Miller chap sounds just the man to take them even further than our hero.
Good morning from a sunny Manchester.
Interesting to here that the Manchester Chamber of Commerce reckons the Derby match brought an extra £7.5m in expenditure.
Never see these positive figures when it is the Glasgow Derby.

Its Miller Time!!!!
bye bye rangers 1872…
to interrupt a mistake-making enemy is not the finest
Fat Sally just doesn’t get it…
“If liquidation and a ‘newco’ happened,
we’d still have the history of the club,
absolutely. I can imagine people would try
and wind up the support about it, but make
no mistake about it: we wouldn’t lose our
history at all. If there is a team playing at
Ibrox in blue shirts, it’s Rangers.”
Devil and the ‘deep blue’ sea…
Bill Miller!
No – we will not let you go!
Let him go!
Yeah, I know, I said it a few days ago, but that wretched song comes into my head every time I see his name now (which is quite often), so I thought I would share it with you. Again.
Morning all :-)
Morning all… Adding to the weather reports, a little rain in Kuwait this morning… still 36C mind you.

Good morning one and all,
I have decided there will be no more jelly and ice cream until the final nail is in the coffin and the hun is buried.
Don’t get me wrong, it is brilliant to be continually informed through Paul67 and many on here but the ice cream has been taken out of the freezer ready to eat, then put back in again so many times, it must have gone off by now!!!!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop Paul and keep up the good work.

brilliant clip, that has set me up for the day now and will see me smiling at work.
Thank god for the Celtic
The full interview with Fat Sally. Please ensure you are not eating or drinking to avoid choking hazard. Stupid Hun…
Supporters remain opposed to losing the
heritage and history of the existing club, but
McCoist believes it wouldn’t be a disaster.
He said: ‘If it happened, we would still have
the history of the club, absolutely. I have
done a bit of homework on it and newcos
have happened at clubs like Plymouth and
Crystal Palace.
‘I can imagine people would try to wind up
supporters about it — that’s part and parcel
of the game.
‘But, make no mistake, we wouldn’t lose our
history at all. We wouldn’t allow that to
happen.
‘If there is a team playing at Ibrox in blue
shirts, it’s Rangers. I think I’m right in
saying we only became a plc in 1899, which
was 27 years after we were formed. Nobody
really recognises that change, but there have
been changes all the way down the years.
‘Rangers are Rangers and that would be the
opinion of the vast majority of people.’
Kennedy submitted a ‘materially increased’
conditional offer to the Rangers
administrators on Saturday night and he
awaits news of its fate from Duff & Phelps.
The Edinburgh-born businessman has said
all along that his offer is conditional on the
delivery of a CVA and Craig Whyte’s shares
and that remains his stance, despite
McCoist’s view both bids could feature a
newco structure.
Kennedy told Sportsmail: ‘There is still time
to do a CVA. That remains our preference,
but it is very difficult.’
Miller has proposed setting up an
‘incubator company’ into which he would
transfer the club’s assets. Asked if his plan
involved a newco in any shape or form,
Kennedy said: ‘The fact is that when people
talk about a newco they don’t mean an
investment vehicle.
‘They mean that the SPL share will transfer
from Rangers’ old company into a new
Rangers company — and that is why they
need to be accepted into the SPL.
‘It’s also why they can’t play in Europe for
three years. That’s all it means.’
Kennedy had hoped to be given the green
light to move forward by Tuesday night, but
McCoist believes the process could drag on
until the end of the week.
He added: ‘Two potential purchasers are
still in heavy negotiations with the
administrators.
‘They are really hopeful to have named
preferred bidders very soon —certainly
before the end of the week and maybe
before that.’
‘I spoke to Bill Miller on Friday for an-hour-
and-a-half. I also spoke with Brian Kennedy
on Friday.
‘They are both seriously interested and they
are certainly asking the right questions of
myself and the administrators.
‘Right now, it’s looking like a newco. I’m
told that both potential purchasers have
newco as part of their plan, but it’s not
liquidation.
‘That’s a very important point because I
think the vast majority of the fans do not
want liquidation. I would imagine there are
some of them who won’t be happy with a
newco.
‘I think if the newco is the best option
without liquidation, then hopefully the fans
will come round to it.’
