Apologies for preaching to the converted, but it has been so many weeks since we heard Rangers recovery stories, all of which lauded in the press, none of which worth as much as the £1 the club was bought for 11 months ago.
Ticketus and Blue Knights join forces. So what?
Players who cannot play for anyone else until the summer agree to take a pay cut until 31 May. Big deal.
Duff and Phelps delighted that Ticketus judged to be a creditor [but whisper it, Rangers (IA) cannot set their deal aside]. Can you believe this was portrayed as good news for Rangers? Really?
All along the one man everyone needs has been vilified. Attitudes have hardened as Rangers best chance of coming through these times intact – doing a deal with Our Hero – has been made politically impossible.
Bill Ng’s opportunistic attempt to gain control of a cheap football franchise has ended with a few fascinating comments:
“We have serious concerns over the deliverability of the shares on offer”.
Have any of you offered Mr Ng a controlling block of Rangers shares? Unless you’re chilling in Monaco right now I doubt you have the authority. I think I’ll try to sell the Singaporean investor the Eiffel Tower. I don’t own it, but you get the picture. Ng also added:
“We would like to highlight that we have become increasingly uncomfortable and frustrated with the process dealing with Duff and Phelps, and the length of time that it has taken to reach this stage.”
Duff and Phelps are attempting to sell a metaphorical Eiffel Tower without owning it. Only Craig Whyte can sell Rangers, only Craig Whyte can release security to Ibrox and he will want tens of millions to do so. Unless a bidder is prepared to cover Whyte’s position all he is doing is wasting time. The administrators’ comment that Rangers major shareholder was “irrelevant” is perhaps the most damaging thought in 140 years of Rangers history.
Whyte is, as you know, the only show in town. Had Duff and Phelps made this clear to begin with, the recovery would have started weeks ago.

Dang you Paul67.
Dang you to Heck! (thumbsup)
not 2nd
Yes!
Call me ole fashioned, but I liked Mr Ng.
I’m sorry to see him leave Scottish football,and I’d like to wish him well for all his future endeavours.
Does anyone know if RIA are paying their taxes? Not the big tax case or the middle tax case or the baby tax case but the day to day taxes we all pay?

Whyte has played an absolute blinder in all this mess. It is no coincedence that he needed D&P in place as the administration team to make his plan work. Sell the club for a tidy personal profit on a £1 outlay while leaving the new owner liable for all the debt or liquidise the club, either works… well played CW, well played.
In a nutshell ,Paul. Basic and simples. Get a deal with Our Hero or the bid stops in its tracks.
The penny has dropped ….

Philvisreturns, wow, ease up on the ‘D*ng’ and ‘h*ck’ profanities!
Dontbrattbakkinanger – Call me old fashioned, but I think fire is magic. (thumbsup)
Wish they would just hurry up and die.
Paul67 – Gosh-darnit, I apologise. (thumbsup)
Heavens to Betsy Paul you mean it’s all just a Sham…
Shocked in Switzerland..
The press failure has been spectacular.
The bias predictable.
Their unwitting and complicit dereliction has been ironic.
We are the embodiment of schadenfreude.
Enjoy their flailing attempts to avoid the inevitable.
As Cnut the Great exhibited, the tide will not stop for Kings (or their Jesters).

Yes. The administrators have paid £595,953 in Paye/NIC from 14 Feb to 31 March.

You talkin bout Craig Whyte or Sir David Murray? (thumbsup)
Maybe its just me,
but for a club that dont do walking away, theres a helluva lot of people doing walking away.
Paul67
Saw the new post just as Miller’s bid was being flashed on SSN.
Thought wow Paul your are good getting a post out on that so quickly. Initially disappointed when saw it was about Ng doing walkies.
However after hearing Miller’s statement I remembered you deal in facts and not make believe.
Keep up the good work.
Duff & Duffer announce new bid

They will be paying all their debts (from the date of the appointment of the Administrators) as and when they fall due.
The business is, in effect, being run to the order of the Court of Session.

One does not simply walk into Mordor. (thumbsup)

Hector-MurdochauldandHay – Craig Whyte turns out to be “Muppetman”:

I can hear the micetoes scamperin’
Maybe when they said that he had wealth of the radar, it was wealth of knowledge.
As far as I can see Craigybhoy Whyte has played an absolute blinder.
For £1 he has done in 1 year what no one seemed capable of ever doing, he will liquidate the orcs, indirectly he will bring down sfa/spl/msm and walk away with £30 million.
Just wish I was as lucky when I go to a bookie with my £1 gamble.

People need to get a grip and do something here rather than moan about it. There are thousands of people logged on and if YOU do something then you can help put pressure on them.
Sending a single email is a waste of time. Spamming their inboxes with dozens of emails from dozens of accounts each with large attachments would cause problems but is beyond most people on here.
Phone them.
Seriously, PHONE THEM.
Call each number below, politely ask to speak to the relevant person and ask them straightforward questions.
Why is Duff & Phelps deliberately holding up the sale of RFC?
Several bidders say Duff & Phelps are causing problems. Why are the bidders saying this?
Are they aware that liquidation of RFC will make things very difficult for their own business?

Call each one. Once you’ve gone through the list, call them again. Then do it again. Repeat once an hour for the rest of the afternoon.
If you want to withhold your own number then dial 141 before any of the numbers above.
This will take a few minutes of your time and it will grind their business to a halt.

The first question they have to ask is………
Why is Duff & Phelps deliberately holding up the sale of RFC?
And the last line of the post is…..

Golly Golly Gosh!
Maybe they should try selling Ibrox on a time share model. Surely each consortium has enough dough to buy a couple of weeks worth?
