There are so many plot lines in the epic story that Scottish football has become it’s easy to lose track, especially when the chief executive of the SPL insists that he still doesn’t know if Rangers have a case to answer in connection with improperly registered football players – a completely untenable position on week 11 of the inquiry.
He should know. If he doesn’t, he should resign and allow someone else to pick up the baton.
While this drama has dominated headlines the important storyline happened off-stage. 11 days ago the Blue Knights consortium, fully aware of how time-critical events were, said their accountants needed to be place at 9am on Saturday 12 May for Rangers to achieve a CVA. Even more importantly, they also said that a Newco would not work.
If the Blue Knights men were in place on 12 May creditors could have voted on a CVA this time next week. As it is, creditors still have nothing to vote on, the prospective buyer has not been able to put a deal to them.
Green’s failure to produce an offer since being appointed nine days ago, alongside missing his own deadline to announce a creditor’s meeting on 6 June, are the most important acts in this month’s play, so far. He has to find funders who are able to see a return on investment which Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy tell us does not exist. It’s worth noting that both of these men will be far closer to the financial realities of running Rangers than anyone Green will find in Bangalore.
Unless a consortium can be pulled together that will offer money for the assets of Rangers FC, the company will expire next week when it runs out of money. No CVA, no Newco, no matter what Neil Doncaster does.
Don’t be surprised if Mr Green walks away soon.

Is Scottish football about to go it alone in the world ?

No Scotland international games ?
What is more important to the fabric of Scottish society ?

The groundswell ‘of a tide’ turning against Ragers will result in a puddle.
What happened to the story that 2 men have been charged with sectarian offences in toilets at Parkhead following on from the youtube video of the destruction and hatred carried out by the idiots.
Think it was strange to release this story on a Saturday morning and doesn’t seem to have had much coverage .
You’d think it would be front page news – an off duty policeman charged and partaking in mindless destruction while displaying sectarian and bigoted behaviour .
Shameful.
I never said it was her bedroom TAL!

Googybhoy that was fur you ye ken!
Sky 433 Freeview,showing the 3-0 pumping from a few weeks back,enjoy it in the bars of Norwich :}
I wonder if EUFA find the SFA guilty of improper conduct regarding the whole Rangers fiasco could this possibly mean all Scottish teams could be banned from European competition?
STV…………………………..Celtic opens contract talks with Gary Hooper.
STV Tomorrow………………………………The talks we told you about yesterday have stalled, and Southampton are set to swoooooooooooooopppppppppppppppp.

My only hope is that the stink of piss from that tiny puddle will be so acidic towards the FFP manuscripts that UEFA intervene
That means no European income for us until we change national associations.

I’ll tell you what is prominent in my mind about the orcs wrecking CP toilets, when I go to the loo at halftime CP, there are PC’s at the door 1/3 inside and also 1/3 stewards. They KNOW there’s going to be damage down in the Hun end toilets but no police presence.
Do we live in a fascist state?

Any trial will take place at Glasgow Sheriff Court rather than in the pages of the Daily Record and the Sun.

Two years is it ?

wonky-Not sure if Hooper will stay to be honest,money down south is ridiculous.Watched Hold the Back Page on Sky today,a journo said Kevin Nolan is on £55k a week at West Ham,and he will get a rise as they are now in EPL.Could be PL asking him to commit asap or sell him now.

Whether he stays or not we need more goals from our strikeforce, therefore IMO we need to buy one in or promote a young un.
My point is if Hooos leaves CFC then he will need replaced + 1 .

Showin your age it’s now Snicker man :))
Hooos = Hoops but y’all knew that.
Vmhan-Agree,I know Tony Watt is young,but I think he’s definitely got something about him,tall,quick and scores goals,a bit more gym work over the summer and he could be the full package.Yes,we need a bit more of an experienced scorer ,if we can get one in.HH.
Think some people are jumping the gun a bit with regards to the boards handling of the whole situation. The board in my opinion can only really react to official decisions made by the sfa and spl. up until now, with regards to Rangers, they have been applied justly. If the board reacted to every statement made by people like doncaster the only outcome would be to divert attention away from Rangers situation and mke us appear like the bad guys. The MSM would be more than willing to portray us as simply kicking rangers when they are down. I completely agree that IF, which appears likely, a Newclub are admitted to the SPL the board should fight this decision all the way but untill that decision is made I believe silence is the best option.
