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.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been listening to a fantastic young southern rock band called Alabama Shakes.
Great Band :-)
Do you think we will hear today that Miller’s bid has been rejected?
Why wait till Monday to reject that rubbish?
Just as a matter of interest is it OK for football governing body executives to discuss RFCIA & SPL/SFA with a third party? Would the approval of D&P be needed and even if that was given is it still OK?
“Rangers need a fresh start and I will always stand up for the Club.”
Er with a long history, eh… yes that’s right a fresh start with all our history intact!
Er and the tax bill gone…. yes a fresh start, with no tax bill and all the old cheating history in place.
Your not asking for much Mr Miller.
Excuse my ignorance but is Dusty (Miller) a yank.i thought he came from auld reekie and he was a Hibbee
Breaking news: an update from Bill Miller:
“Due to an administrative error 51 superfluous words appeared at the end of my statement of earlier today.
“The statement should have ended with the words: ‘I will not acquire the club.’
“I trust that clarifies the position.”
Pantaloon
And you may ask yourself-Well…How did I get here?
Hail Hail
James Edward McGrory 408 goals in 408 league games,
Best debut album I’ve heard in a very long time – what a voice.
It’s close to midnight
something evil’s lurkin’ in the dark
under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed
‘Cause this is Miller
Miller night
And no one’s gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it’s Miller
Miller night
You’re fighting for your life
Inside a killer
Miller tonight, yeah
You hear the door slam
And realize there’s nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you’ll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination
Girl, but all the while
You hear a creature creepin’ up behind
You’re outta time
Cause this is Miller
Miller night
There ain’t no second chance
to fight the thing with the forty eyes, girl
(Miller)
(Miller night)
You’re fighting for your life
Inside a killer
Miller tonight
Night creatures crawl
In the depths up to haunt in their masquerade
There’s no escaping the jaws of the alien myth time
(Myth time)
To the end of the night
They’re out to get you
There’s demons closing in on every side
They won’t possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I’ll save you from the terror on the screen
I’ll make you see
That this is Miller
Miller night
‘Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
(Miller)
(Miller night)
So let me hold you tight
And share a
killer, diller, chiller
Miller here tonight
‘Cause this is Miller
Miller night
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
(Miller)
(Miller night)
So let me hold you tight
And share a
(killer, thriller)
I’m gonna get you tonight
[Rap]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood
And those whoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
(Miller, Miller)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
(Miller night, Miller)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Ooh, babe, I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Miller night, babe
[Rap]
The foulest stench’s in the air
The funk of a hundred forty years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
for no mere mortal can resist
the evil of Bill Miller
(Evil laugh)
Believe it or not there is now a sizeable, yes sizeable, proportion of FF huns saying that this statement is “strong”, “clear”, “a good start”, “at least he is being transparent”.
Stupid stupid stupid stupid
So rangers Newco will be in fact Frankenstein rangers?
A row of brains in jars, under glass domes, rests on a long,
narrow table.
Igor tiptoes slowly, examining the labels on each glass dome
that he passes.
ALBERTUS MAGNUS
CORNELIUS AGRIPPA
LAWRENCE TALBOT
(Physicist)
(Natural Philosopher)
(Hematologist)
Then he comes to:
HANS DELBRUCK
(Scientist & Saint)
Igor approaches the glass dome, lifts it off, and takes the
jar containing the brain of Hans Delbruck.
As he turns to go, he sees himself in a Full-length mirror.
He drops the jar in fright.
He looks down and sees the gooks mass of brain and glass.
He sweeps some of the mess under the table with his foot.
IGOR
(muttering to himself)
Freud would have a heyday with this.
Well…
He looks quickly at the “Brain table,” grabs a jar from under
the glass dome nearest to him, and leaves.
On the glass dome, whose contents Igor has just taken, is
printed:
DO NOT USE THIS BRAIN!
“RANGERS”
Bill Miller wants to keep sally as manager…yippee.
I hope he doesn’t walk away now.
But
Also now really obvious that this guy is a total haddy.
Our new home kit…allegedly:

The ignorance is astounding. Some have even suggested that this “incubator company” route is what Fergus McCann did when he took over Celtic.
Astonishing the level of ignorance they have.

And now KC is tweeting that it’s something to do with the colour of the socks.
Could I be more excited?

Too true, for a debut album it’s awesome, her voice reminds of Janis Joplin. Theyre playing king tuts on May 9th, think its sold out now but you could always give them a call for tickets if you dont have one.

I don’t know what the bhuns are complaining about………once they ‘are no more’, they can always go on a ‘walk’ every Saturday…..

thank him for my hobby
Hail Hail
Mort – It is utterly incredible how this is going down.
They are dying whilst persuading themselves the sweet release of death is just like a new signing…..

Doubt that’s the new jersey as next season’s kit will celebrate 125 years of Celtic and the crest is rumoured to have a special design around it.

Mr Miller would like it to be known that glasgow rangers (IA) are the only Club he ever wanted to incubate.
Mr Millers Psychiatric Consulatant has confirmed this.
Jim Whyte asks “tell me your royal highess mr miller, why are you so good?”
Another excellent article Paul67.
“perhaps the most damaging thought in 140 years of Rangers history”
It got me pondering other damaging thoughts in their history…..
Here are a few to start off…..in no particular order…..but definitely showing my age…..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Scot Symon thinking that Valentine was just the very man to mark Billy McPhail in the 7-1 game (good hat trick Billy)
John Greig thinking he could dribble round George Connelly in the ’69 Cup Final (4-0)
Their chairman John Ure Primrose thinking it was an excellent policy to bar Catholics from playing for the club
The Rangers fan who ran on the pitch to start the 1966 League Cup final riot (after Celtic skelped them)
The Rangers fan who ran on the pitch to attack the wee Celtic schoolbhoy and start the 1980 Hampden Riot (after Celtic skelped them)
The Rangers fan who started the “Oh yes, we hate Roman Catholics” song at the end of the 1989 SC Final (after Celtic skelped them)
The Rangers fans who thought that mass rioting, looting and kicking policeman within an inch of their life was a good response to the big screen not working in Manchester 2008
The BBC person who thought that Rangers deserved their very own Crimewatch programme
Colin Jackson thinking he could clear the ball on the 21st May 1979 (good goal Colin, 10 men win the league)
Dick Advocaat thinking Fernando could mark Bobby Petta on the 27th August 2000
Andy Goram thinking it was dignified to wear a black armband to honour a loyalist murderer
Kirk Broadfoot thinking he could use the microwave to cook eggs
Paul le Guen thinking it was a good idea to sign Sebo
Bob FTP Malcolm thinking he could outmuscle Henrik
David Murray thinking it was good policy to spend a tenner for every fiver wee Fergus spent
David Murray thinking it was good policy to use EBT’s to pay employees
The Scottish Media thinking it was better to not investigate Rangers huge financial problems several years ago
The fat Rangers fan who thought it was a good idea to go on national TV and speak about The Big Hoose staying open
Jock Stein who thought he could inspire Celtic to win The Big Cup on the 25th May 1967
tully
12-1 acca if anyone has money to throw away!

So it’s Friday. Where do we go next with RFC – the mess widens into the banking system and possibly the police
Let’s do the math as the yanks might say
£11.2m
less £500k for preferred bidder status
less £1.8m admin fees leaves a grand total of (at most)
£8.9m for a CVA.
Good luck
Mort
FF have a new plan…..stay in administration!
They are now discussing why they are even attempting to come out of admin.
Admin sounds awesome, I think we should go in and stay in
