After yesterday’s action-packed fast moving day in the political world that is Scottish football today has been Tantric Tuesday as Rangers administrators, Duff and Phelps, took their time and examined all areas in consultations with players over redundancies. Gregg Wylde and Mervan Celik left the club early afternoon as the first hard consequences of years of abundant excesses manifested, leaving Duff and Phelps joint administrators locked in talks with the rest of the players. No one can accuse them of not working for their £600 per hour per head.
I would like to be the first to congratulate Aberdeen on winning the treble in season 1992-93. An outstanding achievement.

Looks to me like a situation is being engineered to allow their greediest players to “walk away” from their sinking ship, they know their tea is out, but realise somebody spoke too soon with the “we dont do walking away” nonsense.
stupid huns
The more the press & authorities spin the more of a mess they will find themselves in as more (& there is more) is exposed.
Will be interesting to see the reaction when they finally realise they have been royally screwed by their friends.

Yesterday’s spats mean the players have now lost massive amounts of confidence in Clark and Whitehouse and the pair face a huge amount of work to win first team stars over.
C and W should be quaking in their boots.
Come on,C and W , DON`T YOU GET IT?
This is the peepil you are dealing with.

I think you might be expecting a bit much from their loyal support, its very unlikely that thy can hold information long enough for comparison, to realise they are being spun a line, the altzheimes is stong with the hoard.
I mean if jabba can convince the scottish public that scottish football will be poorer for not carrying rongers debt, as he tried to last night. It shows, he both expects such an argument to be taken seriously and how stupid he thinks the viewers are.
The arrogance is to be expected and I must admit I’d love some monkey to try and us his arguments in a serious discussion with pretty much any tim.
I’d really like jabba to be interviewed by Paxman.

“Stuart Henderson of Possil, well when I say Possil, it’s Maryhill just, you know Queen’s Cross?’
He is talking rubbish.
I think that should have been the warning signal for Whyte.
Possil finishes long before Queens Cross.
If he had said Panmure St then I could understand the dubiety.

United take legal steps to recover outstanding cash
Sports Writer…………………….
DUNDEE UNITED are furious about what they perceive as a lack of effort from the Scottish Football Association to recover the £70,000 owed to them by Rangers and have referred the matter to the club’s lawyers.
While Duff & Phelps, the Ibrox administrators, were able to provide guarantees to John Yorkston, chairman of Dunfermline Athletic, on Monday that they would meet a payment of £84,000 for outstanding ticket sales from their Clydesdale Bank Premier League encounter at East End Park on February 11, the Tannadice club are still out of pocket for their share of ticket sales from the William Hill Scottish Cup tie at Ibrox on February 5 and feel that the governing body should be doing more to press Rangers to get it back.
Stewart Regan, the SFA chief executive, has written to United on the matter and insisted any future payments due to Rangers for their appearance in the Scottish Cup could be offset and go instead to United as an overdue payment, a guarantee which should provide them some of the missing money by the end of this season at the latest. United, however, are thought to be unsatisfied with that response and have called in the club’s lawyers.
It appears unlikely that the situation will be resolved by the time United host Rangers in the league on March 17.
“For an organisation with around £20m in the bank, and one of their competitions, it is ridiculous,” a source close to United told Herald Sport last night. “They are going on about all these things they want to investigate but you would think they should look after one of their member clubs first and foremost.”
Both matches took place before the Ibrox club went into administration on February 14, so the main difference in the two cases relates to which governing body is in charge of the respective fixtures.
Although SPL rules allow the Scottish top flight to forward cash to financially-threatened sides from their share of TV cash and prize money, as was the case with the financial assistance given to Gretna in 2008, Herald Sport understands that was not the case in the Dunfermline scenario. Instead, the two clubs were able to reach an agreement from existing cash between themselves just in time to prevent the SPL board from taking further potential sanctions against the club, one of which could have included the withdrawal of their licence to play in the Scottish top flight.
Some have questioned the legality of prioritising one creditor above an other, but one administration expert said last night that the payment could be justified in order to maintain the club as a going concern and that legal action from another creditor to clear up the matter would be counter productive.
“They could argue it is football debt and would have to settle it at some point,” the source said. “In the spirit of goodwill, and to comply with SPL requirements, they could argue they were justified to pay it.”

Here are some wise words that i’m sure you’ll agree with:
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
Good morning all from MK where heavy rain is forecast for today.
Question, why does Kyle Bartley have so much to say on the wage cuts when he’s not involved in the process?
Taxi driver to the airport on monday morning, his biggest problem is that PL made the ‘we dont need no stinkin rongers’ statement :o)
My response was, ‘the biggest problem is these second contracts, they could make the tax case look like chicken feed’
I think this might have uopset his train of thought, but its clear they are doing mental tumble your wulkies to find reasons to blame us.
they have only one target

“Stewart Regan, the SFA chief executive, has written to United on the matter and insisted any future payments due to Rangers for their appearance in the Scottish Cup …..”
They are out of the cup.
What future payments?
Big Joe
The Admin guys only agreed a deal to pay Dungfermline cos SPL were going to punish rANGERs (not sure what the sanction would have been, points deduction maybe, cos fine no use?).
SFA should apply the same pressure on Amin for DUnt case, otherwise they will squirm out of it. Reagan is too weak, even weaker than Doncaster.
i watched the programme last night and thought jabba came across as pretty thick. like most clueless commentators he is just a bandwagon jumper and doesn’t have a clear individual idea in his head. he just goes the way the wind blows…..very poor standard if you ask me.
did you notice his hands………..very creepy!
Paul Larkin’s blog on Twitter (no good at links, soz) contains a splendid excoriation of the BBC debates on Scottish football these last two nights. In particular, the Cardigan’s contention that we “need to get back to ways of being able to attract players like Gascoigne and Laudrup again.” The blog likens this to G Gordon Liddy saying “if only we could bug people again, we’d soon be winning elections once more.”
Brilliant.

regan looked like something from the adams family with that pionty bit at the front, while doncaster thought was sporting some kind of dyed early elton john flat top.

There is a Celtic v Rangers Legends Match at Broadwood Stadium Cumbernauld, on Sunday March 11th 2pm KO.
Celtic Legends include our own Frank McGarvey and ahhemm Gerry Crainey whilst the Orcs infamy include Andy Gollum and Tam Forsyth (Ha! Ha!)
My sons football team have been invited to it but I have said he is not going.
Whilst this will no doubt be a laudable charity event….
I think this has a recipe for disaster written all over it. If there is a substantial crowd of THEMS it could turn nasty I fear. They are in a mood that suits their faces (very ugly). The tempatation for us to gloat will be too great.
I also can’t imagine North Lanarkshire Council putting on alot of security.
I hope I am wrong but if you decide to go take care.

From last nights “debate” on the BBC, three telling contributions for me:
Neil Doncaster and Stewart Regan, appropriate sanction will be taken if wrongdoing uncovered. Rod Petrie, sporting integrity must be upheld.
If these three hold to their word in the face of the pressure they will face, then Rangers will be held to account for what they have done.
Jim Traynor still yearns for fine wine and succulent lamb, he is not a decision maker, therefore irrelevant.
Big Joe,
RFC have still to play DU, so I think they’ve done a deal with on the money from that game!
Hail! Hail!
They just don’t get it stupid stupid orcs, all running round Camp Blueballsup looking for other people to blame and other people to clean up their mess.
Get the P45’s out and get on with the job in hand.
Message to Regan and Doncaster, if you tolerate this Our Children will be next!
Do you understand. No sell out, No whitewash..

You will find that there will be about 8 different boys club at the event. So at the start of the game about 300 kids run onto the park along with these sporting greats.
I was at one in the Ravenscraig just before Christmas and the Celtic legend
was Frank McGarvey. The gers stars were Andy Goram, Charlie Miller and wait for it José Quitongo .
Stay in and watch the EastEnders Omnibus

I don’t get it !
The Players & Staff at Airdrie, on DAY 1 were offered half pay or GO.
The only exception being staff on minimum wage.
Get a Broom Loan and brush them doon the Road!

Morning Bhoys from a crisp and sunny Airdrie. Its all media smoke screens gents, they have no money and are done the only thing we need to worry about is them getting back in and i fear its out of our hands, But if its any consolation they will never be the team they were. I know its little consolation but still. The wagons are circled and it seems only us dont want them and want justice in the little funked up country. they cheat,lie,steal and all is forgiven seems to be the message from this countries voices, only problem is for their pals is its now bigger than that. uefa will intervene when the times right. 2 contracts will be sorted after the admin and then the tax and then the 2 contracts, still alot to come out and just maybe uefa are giving the sfa enough rope to hang themselves.
But why are the admin team taking so long to recoup the money?

more doomed talks scheduled for today, more stalling for a buy out or liquidised?

Top of the morning to you all from a windy but sunny Fife.
Just when I think that the Hun’s administration farce cannot get any worse up comes Tommy In Glasgow with his fundraising telephone chat with the elusive Craig Whyte in his Grantown-on-Spey castle.
The mind really does boggle at the mental images this conjures up.
Craig Whyte certainly is the master of the understatement as evidenced in this exchange:
TIG: What about the concept of opening a dome with a casino and stuff like was mooted a long time ago is there, that was the other thing as well Craig, I mean, is there development scope that’s opened, you know for anything that was mooted a few years ago by Mr Murray?
CW: Rumbly mumbly bumbly there is certainly some development potential…
The development potential I can see is the potential for this to be the basis of a future epic movie about a con-man who stumbles into the biggest football scandal ever.
Gene Wilder as CW the Monaco based billionaire and Dustin Hoffman as Tommy the Celtic supporting journalist?
Why are they simply not offloading players in the normal admin scenario, is it because they have an interested buyer but only interested if the existing playing squad is left intact I wonder, or is it because they are the worst ever administrators in the history of administration, either way, the longer they drag this thing out the more boring it’s becoming. Would love to fast forward the whole thing to a conclusion.

Anyone got a cure for an overdose of jelly & ice cream (and don’t say more jelly & ice cream: tried that already) … ?

I think ‘prize’ money and ‘appearance’ money is doled out once the competition is completed. So the Foe Malign may have money due for their brief flirtation with the tournament.
