Green’s failure to make an offer more telling than Doncaster drama

620

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.

    Green, like a lot of this story, will be a footnote. It’s just a question of when

    I still remember your moniker playing for Linfield when I followed the Reds in the early 80s. It always makes me smile, bringing back some great and not so great memories!

    Good run by Blackman. Norwich have made a lot of changes and are passing and moving well.

    Lives long in my memory too… on the Kop and old Bald Eagle, who had a half brick miss him by inches as he jogged on, lying there on his muddied arse and the ball nestling in the back of their net.

     

    What a season.

    Im fed up with all this ‘The fans are great, well done’ carry on while we are getting beat in Europe yet again.

     

     

    When will we ever learn?

     

    ===================

     

     

    Can’t believe that Lawwell has yet again let us go in to Europe without getting the players we need. Lenny should walk away. He isn’t getting tha backing.

     

     

    The season has been over for nearly two weeks and still no signings. Don’t give me that crap about the transfer window not being open. Lawwell should have been prepared for that and the board have done nothing to remove the window.

     

     

    I demand a public statement now.

    St Johnstone chairman Steve Brown insists a newco Rangers must face penalties.

     

     

    “If I’ve got a vote then I certainly will not let Rangers in without sanctions,” Brown told STV.

     

     

    “The feeling from the people I’ve spoken to from within the chairmen’s ranks is that they won’t let Rangers in with a ‘get out free card’.

     

     

    “I think Rangers themselves and the majority of supporters accept that they’re going to have to get some form of punishment. That’s wholly accepted throughout the game. It has to happen.”

     

     

    Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie has previously insisted that “sporting integrity is beyond purchase”
