Demonising liquidation carries risk

990

I didn’t hear the scores of other games this weekend until today when I read a red card protest (remember the day Celtic fans gave birth to this concept?) occurred at Ibrox to demonstrate disapproval to any potential new owner who plans to liquidate Rangers.

It would be preferable to everyone if Rangers paid their bills, restoring a degree of dignity, although apparently no one is offering to do this.  Publicly bidders for the club will all confirm their preference is to exit administration via a Creditors Voluntary Arrangement (CVA).  Offering pennies in the pound for a company is unquestionably a great deal, for the buyer, but whoever is nominated as preferred bidder this week is likely to have a serious option to liquidate the club.

Demonising the liquidation option carries risks for Rangers fans.  Short of raising considerably more money than they have thus far and paying their bills, there is little fan power can do right now.  If liquidation is the best option for creditors it will happen, better to accept the reality of the situation.  Whatever the resulting phoenix club is called, if the new owners inherit animosity from the start it will only diminish the potential of their new club.

    i know Im setting myself up here (can just see MWD, CRC ,T4, GL2, Kinhog etc reading this and shaking their heids and laughing), but despite having a 1st Holy Communion to attend on Sat 12th May, I think a trophy-lifting swally on 13th sounds just Champion!

    Are we under any SPL obligation to sell Rangers a minimum number of tickets? I would take it that any gentlemen’s agreement to give them the usual 7000/8000 is nul and void with their failure to pay for the damages for their last visit.

    Snake : just watched your vid. More power to your elbow, you pushed my emotional buttons. And the soundtrack to ‘Drive’ is cracking, synthy movie soundtrack fans out there.

     

     

    Edward U : just want to add my voice to the , in the main, positive response to having you back. Some posters have alluded to some less salubrious postings you may have made in the past. I have not seen them so, who is right, who is wrong? Me no know. But in my period of lurking I always found your posts informative and written in good humour. I

     

     

    It’s the rainbow of fruit flavours that keeps the blog going and the debate flowing. Don’t be a stranger. Despite being a ranger.

    except kojo, obviously.

    Thanks for that.

  10. Jim duffys ignorance on issues surrounding cva,s , liquidation is astounding for a guy who is meant to be talking about the issues of the day.

     

     

    “rangers history will always be there despite liquidation” chirps Jim

     

     

    WIT !

     

     

    Their “history” is consigned to the HISTORY books Jim, it no longer exists, it’s gone, it’s defunct, vanished, no more, finished, done and dusted !

     

     

    The new co will have NO history whatsoever, it’s zero day !

     

     

    What part does he not understand

     

     

    Meanwhile stupid RFC(IA) fan try’s to justify tax dodging as “everyone does it”

     

     

    Eh … No they don’t

    I’m on this new fan dangled Twitter thingy @3Fitzy and doing something called “Hashtag Trending” its great fun as some of you already know.

     

     

    But Where is the Hashtag symbol thingy on a MacBook Pro? I’ve looked at every key 3 times and still not found it…!

    Most people need to get money to spend on things. And for that they go to the bank. And for that they need a bank card.

     

     

    Like your reply to me, the above is completely irrelevant to the point.

    Actually Jim’s correct (from what I read of your post) in that their history will always be there. In the same way that Third Lanark’s and Renton’s will always be there.

     

     

    The new club will have no call on that history though.

  16. Beware and take care, sitting in tea shack offshore today and conversation between some uneducated orcs, they are adamant that they are going to smash up Paradise ( not there words ) please P.L. do not let them near our home , present the trophy to 60,000 Bhoys,I honestly fear the worse, there hatred for Neil is actually scary, home for Hampden on Sunday ,H.H.

  17. Off the Record ! as in, I don't read the Daily Record because of its sh*t journalists on

    The Other side of Liquidation.

     

     

    If the winning bidders for the corpse of Rangers FC handle their takeover properly then it doesn’t need to mean doom & gloom down Ibrox way. There is massive potential to get off to a flyer with the new venture. It gives the new Board of Rangers the chance to market a brand new Club free from all the toxicity the old Club accrued, nay, encouraged over more than a century.

     

     

    Think about it, a Club with not a trace of a sectarian employment policy, no direct links to the Orange Order and with no history of hosting the bigotfest at their home ground.

     

     

    No connection to the many riots in farflung Cities, Barcelona never happened, Manchester just a memory of darker days to be consigned to the Rangers recycle bin. The many decent fans of this dying Rangers have the chance to stamp their mark on a new beginning. Narrow mindedness could and should be shown no mercy, living in the past, a thing of the past.

     

     

    Hatred of any number of people/religions/nations all a vague memory of bygone days of yore. Inclusiveness, vison, brotherhood for all even.

     

     

    If they get it right, we could have a formidable rival to contend with.

    If they smash up their wee bit of Paradise then I have to ask: would it be a small price to pay for the final nail being hammered into their chances of an SPL rebirth?

    “Ah HIV tae make my Point of View..in the Maist Simplistic Terms.. If Ah want tae Hold the Interest of the Average Reader.”

     

     

     

    Definition of simplicity :

     

    1. characterized by extreme simplicity; naive

     

    2. oversimplifying complex problems; making unrealistically simple judgments or analyses

     

     

    Simple explanations are good

     

     

    Simplistic explanations suggest you are simple.

     

     

    The trickle down theory is most evident when the super-rich are pissin on yir cabbages. The super-rich who rail against a 70% tax rate or a 50% tax rate do not want a 40% or a 30% tax rate as an alternative; they want a 0% tax rate plus free money if you have it.

     

     

    The worker wants maximum returns for his labours; the bosses want to pay them as little as possible. The struggle for society is to strike a happy medium. The right wing libertarians are as delusional and simplistic as the Trots and the permanent revolutionaries.

    Correct. That was the day the foundations at the big hoose started to buckle.
