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.

    Going to Rangers game the previous Sunday. Might go to ST J game although unlikely. I’ll check flight prices in morn. I’m over for cup final and hopefully last league against Hearts.

     

     

    Is the ST J game your last visit to Glasgow this season?

    TET – I find your post very depressing.

     

     

    I could spend the next 20 minutes of my life explaining how Ed’s been on this blog from the very early days, that is Paul’s blog not a Celtic message board, and has many friends on here. That’s friends….not people you fawn over.

     

    I could say how he’s bravely stood his ground over the years against concerted campaigns to chase him away from Paul’s blog.

     

    I could try and convince you that there are some right good Bluenoses and they’re not all Huns and that even our wonderful support has some bad yins.

     

     

    But ultimately I would just be wasting my fecking time. You’ll either get some hawks and lurking Huns (how ironic!) to justify your stance or you’ll flounce off because enough of us dare to defend a Rangers man.

     

     

    Come out of the cave now and again and expand your horizons!

    It’s still not ok – I agree with you.I find the ‘there must be decent rangers fans vs what do the decent ones do about the vile culture at ibrox and elsewhere’ thing difficult to deal with. There have been some great posts on this lately .I suppose I better get off the fence and have the courage of my convictions.

  4. THE EXILED TIM

     

    I don’t buy your talk. Your post still stands there. What is that theory about good blood and bad blood?

     

    (Now not to you) In the other posts about danger of mixing black blood and white blood?

     

    Some of you are crazy, really.

     

    This is Paul67 blog and it’s only him who decides who is allowed to post here, who is not.

     

    I hope you few who don’t want Edward will now email to Paul and tell him how to change the rules to make this place clear.

     

    I know it’s only the blog and creen where you can see the words. They cost nothing, but don’t be the hipocrytes. On what basis you have the right to judge the people?

    I agree with you.

     

     

    Anyone who supports them, no matter their style and logic, is fatally flawed. Flawed simply because they support that club and what that club is.

  6. Ive oftened wondered if Kojo has ever been cot in the middle of one his longgggggggggggggggggggg blogs by a new article posted? Can be very annoying.!!!

    Assuming that you’re not assembling a hit squad, it’s “staunchly presbyterian” Inverness. BTW no offence meant to presbyterians.

    Don’t know yet. I don’t have a season ticket so have to take it as it comes.

    I swithered whether to post that or not, and decided it was in there and had to come out.

     

    Possibly not the place, but as the blog is open to all….

     

     

    I have seen too much hate in my life, just cos I am a Tim, my family have suffered cos I’m a Tim, that’s no right.

     

     

    I don’t hate in return, but I will never forget, my young fella will never forget, unfortunatly he doesn’t forgive as easily as I do, and I honestly have tried to get him to curb his ways, but they have made him what he is, that is a major failing on my part as a parent, I should have tried harder, but I was never covered in spit and dog shit when I was a kid.

    If i am honest, I cant work out either how anyone can support the darkside. either. However, you have always come across as a decent enough guy so i think there comes a point when you need to stop feeling the need to defend yourself against some of the claims made here against you.

     

     

    Even though you support (or have supported) the wrong team, i would rather read 10 of your posts than one from some of the other posters on here. Welcome back!

    If you are looking for tkts for any game including old firm games, ( although there not be another one of them for a while after April 29th ) I can’t promise a tkt but should be ok. I’ve a few good contacts including a CQNer.

    the exiled tim has a good point…… I was reasonably clever in school but when it came round to apprentice ships I was offerred the lowest trades, still a trade so magic, the point was a deliberate attempt to keep catholics down…….. Scotlands shame dont need no stinking catholics ……. its a shame.

     

    Mr Z you wouldn’t know the racist and sectarian hatred by the glasgow huns = nazis not allof them of course…….the protestants in scotland were treated, gauranteed jobs and the RC’s took what was left and rose above it……

     

    Just look on CQN and you can see.

     

    Mr Z HH and maniana!

  13. Is this a parallel universe? Have we just won the league? Are our biggest rivals on their knees and condemned to years of mediocre players?

     

     

    Edward has posted here for 8 years – he is big enough to look after himself but ffs we are Celtic we are inclusive we are open to all creeds and colours.

     

     

    Still can’t get it – why such bitterness at such joyous times???

    How did you get on with the e.w. part of your Bubba bet?

     

     

    Shockaroonie for me with the Kuch – came out 50p up on a 33/1 e.w. bet.

     

     

    Buried somewhere in the small print was something about 4 or more players tied for 3rd place meaning reduced odds as they had to pay out on 6 players.

    So this is the post you have a problem with, I was pissed, and I apologised for being pissed, and am happy to say my kids have no hun blood in them, nothing can and will change that.

     

    As is very clear, I was not clear of mind, but the sentiment is clear enough, and I will make no apologie for the way I feel and the way I am.

     

    And you can forget about the racist thing, not a racist bone in my body, nor in my wifes, nor my kids.

    Sorry for my last couple of posts.

     

    Not really meant wat I meant to say, drunk as I am.

     

     

    I will tell yous what I mean, if you will indulge me…

     

     

    The young fella was in tears earlier thanking me for bringing him up a Tim, and a few of yous want me to fawn over a hun who when he decides to post on here to accept he is a good guy, well yous can get te feck, my young fella i9s a product of good blood, never seen a hint os hun blopod in his, or his mothers, or his das lifetime.,

     

    Goodnight and god bless

    KTF

     

     

    The ramblings of a drunken Tim, a few hours after his team have won a title, and if you think I am being racist in any way, dearie me.

     

    No, just proud of what I am, and that’s no a hun,you know, the ones who hate, clear enough for you.

  20. Personally I think the TommyinGlasgow blog post is made up bollocks.

     

     

    Just don’t believe he or anyone has inside info on that HMRC will accept a CVA. It makes no sense at all for them to do so.

     

     

    I’m a bit too tired to analyse the post in any detail, but would be hugely surprised if the huns saga plays out the way he says. RTC is, in my opinion, a much better guide to what’s going to happen. And that’s liquidation.

  21. Roccobhoy :- Pablophanque was one in a million and I think he was the first person from CQN I met, he stayed in my house a couple of times where we would sit up drinking too much Jack Daniels, indulging in illegal herbs and solving the world problems, sadly for the worl when we woke up sober we could never remember the solutions. He was a gentleman and he is still sadly missed.

  22. Vmhan

     

    I understand your point and TET’s point. I’m enough long here to learn the history. I’ve read about Irish in Scotland. Heard the stories about Irish who had to do boxing fights to keep the job. Know the stories about “No job” for Irish etc.

     

    I’m telling it’s Paul67’s blog.

     

    Why the hell Edward Ursus has to take all the sins on his back?

     

    Some of yhe posters say they are better than Rangers supporters who are bigots but write with hate?

  23. tommytwiststommyturns on

    praecepta – to be honest, I didn’t properly check it, I was just so chuffed that Buba won the play-off! I’m pretty sure Bet365 gave me quarter odds.

     

    With the big ew prices, you would think that you’re guaranteed a decent return for a place, but there were so many guys in contention on Sunday evening.

     

     

    Live to fight another day….Grand National on Saturday!

  24. EdwardU,

     

     

    Great to see you post again.

     

     

    On Saturday I posted “STAND UP FOR THE CHAMPIONS” and immediately thought of you.

     

     

    I suggested you use it after you won the first of your leagues, you had too much class to do so, that is what makes you the man you are. A champion man in my book,

     

     

    Your friend,

    Great to see you posting those wonderful words again. Been far too long.

  27. Came home early; I know my limits; nae money left.

     

     

    Now as you all know, in the Germanic parts of Africa, a drankwinkel is an off-licence. However no matter how thirsty there are some that I just wouldn’t go into.
