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.

He keeps Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
‘Let them eat cake’ he says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can’t decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
Chorus:
He’s a Killer Whyte
Gunpowder, Gelignite
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna cry?
To avoid complications
He never kept the same address
In conversation
He spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you’re that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
for cars he couldn’t care less
Fastidious and precise
Chorus
Drop of a hat he’s as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
He’s out to get you
Chorus
Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna cry?
You wanna cry.
As a proud Tennessean, I sure wish this Bill Miller character was from somewhere else – like Alabama perhaps.

Stupid huns
SFA just making things up about Neil..
I realise now that what must hurt the tax dodgers is the sheer embarrassment at the lack of professionalism at their ugly club..
It’s truly a farce.. D&P are having a ball ..
And we are the League Champions..
Everyday hurts for them and I JCGE..

Having read Bill Miller’s press release and trying to get my head round what it actually means I have come to the inescapable conclusion that Bill Miller is in fact another one of Kojo’s alter egos!
Hail! Hail! PMTYH
Miller wants no punishments for them.. In that line , you KNOW he s not the man for the job.. He just doesn’t get it..
In the same way , anyone could see Whyte was as wide as the grand canyon- except Murray..
You reap what you sow..

Hello is there anybody out there?
Give us a bid will ya?
Somebody on here predicted that if there was to be a major announcement it would be at close of business today. Well I’m hearing that a 5pm press briefing has been called..
new article posted. “Real”.
I don’t think Miller is in this for the long haul.
hohohohohoho
Ach, suit yirsels…….. tough crowd….
hail hail Serenity
great to see you back again
:)
And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain – ha ha.
Never has the Sidney Vicious version of My Way seemed so appropriate.

Surely an obvious question for ole Windy Miller is what happens when the big tax case hits?
If Oldco still exists then surely it has to be killed off at that point rather than “merged”. Or is he assuming (or kidding on) that HMRC are just going to shrug their shoulders and wander off?
Am I missing something in the grand plan?
New article dunkies ago

Wherever we go we’ll fear no for
For rangers are in administration.

Lads, post your naps here today… pleeeeeeease !
Cheers, fleagle
Have had a request from the missus (flying home today) to place a bet on a grey in today’s National – anyone know if there is a grey in the race? Thanks in advance.
Tip for today: Portrait King Scottish National.
Good luck everyone.
Lads, my nap for today is :
Zanotti (4.20 Newbury)
Like Cathal, I also fancy Portrait King for the Scottish GN… Be lucky !
Cheers, fleagle1888
Morning Lhads
Going for ‘Enfant de Lune’ 1’40 Ayr, cause I have
been called a moonman on many occasions.
good luck.
There are question marks obviously at 33/1 but Clerk’s Choice in the 250 at Ayr is my sporting nap of the day! Be lucky bhoys
Cathal, quentin Collonges is a grey and tipped by pricewise. Not sure of any others
Cathal/Fleagle – can’t see past Portrait King either, as he’s highly progressive, with the only downsides being the rise in weight and he’s maybe too young. In saying that, he won the Eider well and that was the reason I backed Merigo in this two years ago.
Backed Portrait to win and also C/F with Merigo.
For my nap, I’m going for Problema TIC in the Ayr 5:10 to hopefully give a good beating to Super Ally!
Also backed a Barney Curley special in the Newbury 2:00 – Eye of the Tiger.
Good luck
TTTT
Mostly bob at 20/1 in Scottish national for me please.
(Have info for George Bernard Shaw 4/1 at in 6.05pm Thirsk, but looking for a bigger nap price for comp)
Twists,
I also got the nod for one at Thirsk… Korngold (Thirsk 5.00), but it’s been heavily backed… 100/30 into 15/8… maybe a wee double is the bet !
fleagle
i need a miracle in the nap comp
National…Abbeybraney..a real outsider
need a Hail Mary pass here
Afternoon everyone.
My nap for today is Abbeybraney in The Scottish National.
All the best!
tried the Thirsk tips
money for both esp…Korngold
thank you Bull67 – was hoping there wasn’t one, she texted me last week as well and I placed a wee bet on Chicago Grey for her :¬)
Georgebernardshaw 6.05 at Thirsk
I was toying with the idea of this one and just saw Twists got word for it so thats made up my mind
Doeslessthanme—4.35 Ayr. Sounds Duff and Duffer. Hope it makes as much money as they are doing. You can just hear it, can’t you? “Lovely Jubbly, Duffer. Great idea of Whytie’s”
Lads, my nap – Zanotti – is a non-runner…
My alternative nap is :
Lidar (Ayr 2.15)
