Rangers liquidation unlikely within days

394

“However, no one should be in any doubt that in the absence of sufficient cost-cutting measures or receipt of substantial unplanned income, the Club will not be able to fulfil its fixtures throughout the remainder of the season.”

Statement from Rangers administrators, Duff and Phelps.

Lots of speculation that this is the end.  I don’t think so.  Duff and Phelps have made practically no cuts for 23 days, it would be professional negligence for them to fail under these circumstances.  They must have enough cash available to pay rates, electricity, police, around 20 youth players and various small invoices between now and the end of the season.

Unless an event happens that has yet to manifest, they will almost certainly survive until the tax tribunal verdict.  It will not be pretty, and unless you are older than 35, it will not look like any Rangers you have known, but they will linger for a few weeks yet.

  1. Afternoon all,

    Happy days.. Driving home there.. Anyone hear the muppet on shortbread about 5.45, think Mc Gregor lol the name STILL in denial cause THEY are Rankers.. Almost greeting for a sugar daddy..

     

     

    The life support is about to be switched to flatline mode …

     

     

    WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED..

     

     

    Brother Walfrid …. You ARE the winner!!

  3. Duff and Duffer have spent two weeks talking to overloaded, overpaid, self indulgent idiots. That is just McCoist.

     

     

    These players have no idea of reality. Why have they indulged them so much? They should have got rid of McCOIST and his coaching staff on Day One.

     

     

    Day two 8 players.

     

     

    Anyway glad they did not. It is funnier this,way.

    Cool, apart from Jelly n Icecream

     

    overdose :-)

     

     

    Takes me back to one day I was driving home from work, and it came on the radio that Rangers had signed Ray Wilkins from ACMilan.

     

     

    I nearly crashed the motor.

    Surely ranjurz main assests aren’t the overpriced, overpaid, underperforming chancers and wasters who sully the royal blue, five-starred jersey of pride, but the magnificently generous champions of diversity that is the ranjurz support?

  8. Really looking forward to Sunday’s game at Tannadice: two form teams going for a semi-final place. We want to retain the Cup we won last season and hopefully take a step towards the treble;

     

    Won’t be easy though. Hope Broonie is back, we’ve missed his drive!

     

     

    Hail Hail

  9. Is this Paul Murray the same one who said (paraphrasing) only a lunatic would attempt to buy the club without knowing the outcome of the big tax case?

    A key question post Liquidation of RFC(IA) 1873 is who owns the Big House? Craig Whyte as landlord for the NewCo?

     

     

    Tweet went the Big House Burdy…

    Duff & Duffer add: “There has, perhaps inevitably, been speculation about Rangers Football Club facing liquidation. As we have stated previously, we remain very confident that Rangers will not cease to exist and the team will continue to play at Ibrox.”

     

     

    Aaah, but as toxicrangers (1873) or newcohuns(2012), in what division, and how much do they pay for ground rental?

    The whe affair is unbelieveable but the most unbelieveable aspect just surely be the amount of Huns who are still in denial.. Even at this stage in the dying throws?

  22. I think the rangers implosion can be summed up by James F Byrnes

     

     

     

    ‘Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.’

    Just watched ESPN classic v Real Madrid, brilliant, ah the memories. RIP Johnny Doyle. Advertising hoarding at corner of main stand & hun end was for a company called ‘murray international metals’, I wonder what ever happened to them?

  25. Surely, if Rangers are struggling to field a team and fulfill all their fixtures, then a season extension will be sought to allow them to do so.

     

     

    I expect we will win this league by 2690- a double celebration.

     

     

    P.S. They have Andy Goram on the RC phone in. I bet they do not let him answer any caller’s questions on dual contracts.

     

     

    I see Paul Murray failed to show for this programme. Hope he is not on the same boat as Gary Withey. Is there any specialist detective who solves sea-based homicides?

     

     

    Maybe Inspector Clouseau’s brother, Jacques, might step up.
