The final curtain but what next?

440

In what increasingly looks like a facsimile of updates on the defence of Bagdad in 2003, Duff and Phelps continue to accentuate the positives about the potential bidders for Rangers Football Club or its assets but the charade is finally running out of acts.

This afternoon’s withdrawal of interest by the Blue Knight (singular), Paul Murray, the accountant who was a director of Rangers during the hugely controversial EBT years, and Brian Kennedy, should allow minds to focus on the most important question, what next?

Here’s a prediction for you:

Rangers Football Club will play their last game on Sunday 13 May 2012.  One day next week, possibly even before the appeal against the SFA Disciplinary Tribunal punishment, one, or perhaps more, of the prominent players who have been jockeying for position recently will commence proceedings to buy a club in the Scottish Football League, or form a new club, ask for permission to play at Airdrie or Paisley, and apply for SFA membership.  If membership is granted, an application will be lodged to join the Scottish Football League as soon as a vacancy becomes available.

In time Craig Whyte will sell or otherwise lose control of Ibrox Stadium, and if it is still in an operable condition, the football team hoping to profit from the demise of Rangers will look to acquire rights to play there.

You have witnessed an incredible period of Scottish social history in recent months.

  1. Nuclear Bovril and a Half Munched Pie on

    Kennedy and Murray in short : ‘Please don’t send us bombs’

  2. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    Has Ayatollah Ally demanded to know Charles Green’s address so he can dispatch a few guys with flaming torches and pitchforks.

  3. It’s all in the CVA which they won’t get.

     

     

    “We have inside information”, how has Kennedy been looking at the books when he has at no stage been the preferred bidder???????

  4. Paddy Gallagher on

    13th May is my Birthday – how magical!

     

     

    At last a Paddy is employed at Ibrox – Paddy Locke!

  5. Celtic may join hunt for flying Utd winger

     

    Champions Celtic could join the hunt for Dundee United winger Gary Mackay-Steven if bids come in from down south (writes Tom Duthie).

     

    Outfits as far apart as Celtic, Ipswich Town and Swansea City are showing an interest in Mackay-Steven as well as Gavin Gunning and Johnny Russell. However, today, the message from United chairman Stephen Thompson was — ‘not for sale’.

     

    For full story, get tonight’s Evening Telegraph

  6. The SFA should have put this club out of their misery a long time ago when they first discovered non payment of taxes.

     

     

    This is cruel now. It’s shameful and embarrassing.

     

     

    I’m loving every second of this!

  7. So their whole bid was based on getting a CVA?

     

    What was plan B if that failed?

  8. St Stivs

     

     

    Clang, clonk. Drill drill. Clonk. Clonky clonk. Whizz whizz whizz. Kersplonko! tappity tapp tap. Bandangalonkotoboom! Snark.

     

     

    Finished!

     

     

    Look on my works ye mighty…

    Plan B would be the usual Rangers option.

     

     

    Park the bus!

    “Tomorrow’s too late……”

     

     

    Or a day too early if you have a title party to attend…

  11. Looking forward to DUff and Duffer now coming out with their side of the story :)

     

    And, of course, why a CVA can still work coz kennedy and Murray are just making it up, loads a time yet.

     

     

    Reading between the lines, Duff and Phelps clearly don’t want to go down the CVA route. Newco it must be.

    Regarding Rangers appeal, if they loose the appeal can the penalties be increased?

  18. Well after watching the presser I can see why the beast and Brian Kennedy get on so well what a smug arrogant fud!!! D&P should take our offer cause we want to save the club, no Brian they should take the bid which has the best chance to get as much back to the creditors as they can. They’re not there to smooth your ego!!!

  19. Truly shocking goings on at Ibrokes, it gets better by the day, when is fat Sally

     

    going to be dragged over the coals?

  20. The Village Green Preservation C.S.C. on

    So the new bidder goes by the name Charles Green?

     

     

    They’re going to just love his surname.

     

     

    Glasgow’s Green and Whyte.

    That wouldn’t be that 4th of APRIL deadline would it?

     

     

    You know that 4th of APRIL one?

     

     

    That one that was the deadline. Remember that one?

     

     

    Surely you do it was only on the 4th of APRIL.

     

     

    The deadline, that is, not the administration event date which is fondly remembered by others as Valentine’s Day.

     

     

    But, forget Valentine’s, I’m referring to that 4TH OF APRIL DEADLINE.

     

     

    As in deadline – noun –

     

    1. the time by which something must be finished or submitted; the latest time for finishing something: a five o’clock deadline.

     

    2. a line or limit that must not be passed.

     

    3. (formerly) a boundary around a military prison beyond which a prisoner could not venture without risk of being shot by the guards.

     

     

    I like the third one too. Also. As well.
