Speak his name in hushed tones

1566

For three months a charade took place, where Craig Whyte – who is and will remain owner of Rangers until they are finally ‘flushed away’, Duff and Phelps, The Blue Knight(s), Bill Miller, Charles Green, several members of the accountancy profession who should have known better, and some of the Fourth Estate, who clearly didn’t know better, all told you Rangers were likely to achieve a CVA.

As we (and several others) told you, a CVA was never, ever, going to be accepted by HMRC.  A cursory glance at the HMRC web site would confirm that.  Once Alex Salmond had his wings clipped, that debate was over.

The charade was a distraction.  There are many other distractions available today and they will multiply in the days to come, but I reckon if you’re looking for the critical path on this one you should keep an eye on Lord Carloway.  The chair of the SFA Appellate Panel is worth listening out for.  Say his name in hushed tones, better still, abbreviate.  Even the mention of LC will cause anxiety and distress, for some.

  1. The Honest Cover-up on

    I wish someone in the MMS would correct these idiots claiming that “we’ll just go to the 3rd division if the SPL try to impose sanctions on us”.

     

    They won’t simply walk into the 3rd division. If they are not allowed to transfer the SPL share over to a Newco then a vacancy will arise in Division 3. A new club playing at Ibrox may apply to join the league along with other applicants. More than one team purporting to be some continuation of Rangers 1873 may apply. Amateur clubs may apply. The SFL will decide who to admit.

     

    I know several Queens Park fans who shudder at the thought of playing them next season.

     

    Maybe the SFL will decide like the SPL that they don’t want them.

    “Now that they are dead do we refer to the supporters of that team as former Huns or the Hundead?”

     

     

     

    Huns upon a time?

    Gordon Smith was interviewed by BBC Scotland and asked about TUPE.

     

     

    “Ah don’t know anything about that, mah hair’s real!” insisted the former Ibrox and SFA supremo. (thumbsup)

  4. The Honest Cover-up

     

     

    I would like to see Celtic applying to the SFL to have the under 19s playing in the third division, capped at first division ala Barcelona I believe.

     

     

    A newco could reapply next year when all these other clubs go bust due to them not being there…

  5. Can any of you Bhoys confirm if this ( SC004276 ) is the correct registration number for the now liquidated Huns .

     

    Just so I can keep an eye on when it changes .

     

    Thanks

     

    Hail Hail

  6. good afternoon cqn

     

    was at my Nieces wedding on friday,My other niece is married to a Rankers Fan,nice lad,had spoken to him a few weeks ago,informing him about the Big L coming,he was like them all in that big river the Denial

     

    as I was leaving the reception,I said one word to him LIQUIDATION,he called me a B……..,Wife spoke to my sister his mother in law,on Saturday seemingly he was ill

     

    I thought God Strikes in many Strange ways,Also wonder if he Thought of what I had said to him Yesterday

     

    H H

  7. Will Lord Carloway still sit and rule on the defunct huns after Thursday?

     

     

    If he does that surely means the punishment will be handed to the newco?

     

    I assume all sorts of mayhem will follow that and no way will a new team will be able to get off the ground before August?

     

     

    So does he still hear the appeal or not?

  8. Does my head in when Chas keeps saying ‘us’ in his comments about Liquidgers.

     

    There is NO ‘us’ Chas, you don’t own anything. You will probably not own anything.

     

    In saying that, I love the guy for his sheer ineptitude.

     

    Keep it up Chas.

    Default Re: The scary thing is there are Rangers fans who openly state we deserve all we get

     

    If I heard any bear say that I would effin slap them. That’s like saying a girl deserves to be raped for wearing a short skirt effin nonsense. This is also the reason I don’t go on other boards. Full of handwringing apologist tossers

    I read some dimwit on a Rangers forum last night (a hun mate commented on it and it popped up in facebook feed) complaining that he was “absolutely disgusted” that the Rangers fans were the only ones in Scotland waving flags in celebration of the Queen’s jubilee and this is how they are repaid…

     

     

    Queen: They haven’t paid taxes and owe the treasury millions upon millions? Well, then we must liquidate them!… What’s that? They were waving flags for me last week… Cancel the liquidation!

     

     

    I’d imagine the portrait of Lizzie will be taken down from inside the dressing room now.

    Sorry Bhoys to bring up football it seems Fraser Forster is thinking over Celtics offer to him.If he doesnt sign we should save the 2 Million and use it for an outfield player there are quite a few good keepers available on Bosmans.Also as much as I love big Victor if he wants to leave and we get a big enough offer we should let him go and use the money for an expierenced midfielder.H.H.

  13. BDO: D&P intend to complete transfer of business and assets to new company in the coming days, putting club on more secure footing. …once this is done, BDO will determine what can be recovered from the remains of the existing company. #Rangers

    Great post on Ali, have not got the time to repond in any detail. Two things though, why do you think the second Liston fight (May 25 1965) took place in Lewiston Maine, and how come he never landed a punch like that again? Think gambling. And two, he fought Ken Norton three times and in my view never won any of those fights.

  15. Bhoys,

     

     

    Are Duff and Duffer now considered creditors? What happens to the money they are owed if the HMRC terminator (liquidator) is in charge of things now?

  16. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ on

    What will the soup takers say now that thems are not about. Hearts & Celtic? Motherwell & Celtic? Aberdeen & Celtic. They always gave us R…..S and Celtic.

    QuadBhoy – Loving it.

     

     

    A lot of John Cusack movies have relevance for the huns:

     

     

    “Say Anything” – the Charlie Green story

     

     

    “2012” – the year it all ends for the baddies

     

     

    “Hot Tub Time Machine” – the latest genius plan to resurrect Ra Bears now that hybrid incubators are out

     

     

    “The Grifters”

     

     

    (thumbsup)

  22. optimistic little soldier on

    If no team resembling the old, dead, extinct Rangers is in the SPL next season, be prepared for the worst. I mean, if you think the referee decisions of recent years are attrocious, be prepared for a whole new level of Honest Mistakery.

    If FF thinks he can find a bigger club then thanks for the effort big man and good luck to you. If it’s just greed motivavating him then again we don’t need him.

     

    Big Vic – would be very to see him go but anything around 8 million i believe Celtic will deal.

     

     

    Keeper for moi is THG – make him a decent offer to come back – a much much better keeper than FF imo.
