Rangers, streetwalkers of football, face their deadline

778

There’s something undignified at the shenanigans at Ibrox right now.  Despite being under no pressure to pay the disputed tax demand, Rangers are tarting around their top player in a desperate attempt to raise money.

After the Plus Stock Exchange suspended dealing in their shares the club stated it would produce overdue accounts for season 2010-11 around the end of this month, which coincides with the end of the transfer window.  Any auditor needs to be in a position to state that the company has enough cash to be considered a going concern before he would be in a position to sign-off the accounts.  Rangers are now in a desperate bid for cash as their self-imposed (late) date to provide shareholders with statutory information has arrived.

Claims were made that a front-loaded war-chest was made available to Ex-Rangers manager, Ally McCoist (still too early?  Hmmmm) at the start of the season and it was subsequently suggested that a £9m bid was rejected for Nikica Jelavic, but now the same player is available for a fraction of that sum – available for cash, that is.

McCoist kept their season alive but as reality dawn and Neil Lennon’s Celtic turned up the heat, his challenge abated.

The trusty old media, for so long a crutch throughout Rangers rather unique history, are set to desert the White Star Line’s most famous vessel.  The day draws near.

     Hi Lassie.

     

    Who do you fancy on Sunday? I’m not a fan of “Big Blue.”

  3. Good morning all, first time poster. Just found this site through RTC and i must say i’m gutted that it’s taken me so long to find it. I have read through all the comments and i am taking great delight in the impending death of rangers(may they not rest in peace). With all this chatter on rangers demise i think we might be missing something with tomorrows deadline. I am beginning to get more worried about losing at least one of our top forwards. reason being:

     

     

    1) Lennon brings in new forward and is not shy in telling us how similiar he is to stokes and hooper.

     

    2) lennon putting 2 more forwards through a trial game tonight.

     

    3) Bidding on another strker (Russell from DUnT).

     

    4) Alleged texts between Celtic board top dogs with regards to imminent demise of rangers and the points penalties that could occur.

     

    5) DR story tommorrow will be our boards best opportunity to bury bad news.

     

    6) Jelavic away.

     

    7) Stokes and Hooper are at the top of their game and would command fee’s that could tempt Lawwell

     

     

    As i say, just worries nothing concrete. But with all this good news coming our way i can’t believe my luck will hold out.

    So good to stand back and watch the house of cards come down.

    No way your pessimism can temper the mood of glee and high expectation.

    If everything comes to pass that we all hope for ,then you are 100% correct GG. It’s just the paranoia that this wee bigoted country has built up in me thats f**king with my mind.

    A modest welcome to Wolvibhoy – on what promises to be one of those days, when you will be able to answer the question…

     

     

    Where were you when you heard?

     

     

    Actually, we were all on our laptops, phoens and Ipads F5ing like there was a tenner for every time we hit the key.

     

     

    Have a lie down Wolvibhoy, your worries will soon be a distant memory.

    I saw that you spoke to ncmjc about the do in San Fran. It would be cool to have a CQN table etc. I’m in NC too, as is Mags McGill, while Dontshrink is in Virginia, and nycbhoy is well in New York.

     

     

    I’m off to try and sleep now. You westcoasters have got another three hours or so to get to where I am.

  11. I was thinking that Lennons comments regarding the similar playing style of the new forward was to avoid changing the shape of the team should stokes or hooper be injured. It would be madness to sell one of our first choice forwards in this window unless a ridiculous bid came in for one of them then it would have to be considered, and by ridiculous I mean in excess of 10 mill. It would be too much of a gamble breaking up a proven partnership and replacing one of them with a new signing that would have to adapt immediately to the spl style and develop an understanding with their new strike partner

  12. FFS! Boydchenko to the Timbers? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH

     

     

    PS: SanDiego didn’t you say you were coming up here soon, hope the turd signing for Portland doesn’t put you off

  18. SanDiego – Didn’t know about the conference, when’s it on?

     

    Living out in nowheresville one kind of loses touch, although I haven’t really thought to much of thew NACSC since I found out about theirr monopoly on the showing of the Celtic games over here.

    Conference in June. I was think of trying to get some CQNers together for a bevvy and blether. Maybe we could hand out CQN pamphlets or something…

  21. Hope one of you scottish based jungle jims can take one for the team tomorrow and photograph of the daily ranger down at your barbers.

  22. DR story this morning is 5 pages on how the MBB has mortgaged 4 years worth of season ticket money – a total of £24.4million has been borrowed.

     

     

    The odious Traynor writes…

     

     

    ‘Where has all the money gone? And if its gone does this now mean Rangers owe Whyte £18m, Ticketus just under £21m and the tax man £5m in VAT? That’s £44m before the two tax cases come into play.’
