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.

Aye, Cowdenbeath. Would be it fair to consider that he is another one of Minty’s sleeper agents, part of the Great Master Apprentice Architect’s plans for massive debt and tax avoidance? I think so.
Valentines day was the day of administration, someone posted a wee rhyme on here that day that has stuck with me but can’t remember who, apologies.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
How much will you give me
For John Greig’s statue.
Someone mentioned Sally Magnasson (Sp?) sniggering about them yesterday; well, the wee lassie giving the news at the minute nearly burst into laughter just now, when Chris MacLaughlin was trying to explain the situation at the moment.

I enjoyed your call to the BBC last night. You are a credit to yourself, your family and Celtic. You were measured, polite, intelligent, determined. All they really wanted you to say was that Celtic need Rangers IA. They are miles from understanding never mind accepting the situation Rangers IA have placed Scottish football in. Your comments were far to subtle and balanced for that to change but this does not in any way reflect badly on you.
Still we have the time and we have the skills to write the history.

I love this blog post and have goosebumps at the enormity of what might be about to happen, and think it is probably an icecream day.
but I can’t help this niggling doubt that thinks there’ll be yet another delay and hope of salvation.
Just DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for heavens sake. Just Die!!!
Well minty used to stay out all night long
he made me cry he done me wrong
he hurt my eyes open that’s no lie
tables turn and now his turn to die
Because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
Well he used to run around with every man in town
he spent all my money playing his high class game
he put me out it was a pity how I cried
tables turn and now his turn to die
Because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
Well I used to wake in the morning get my breakfast in bed
when I’d gotten worried he’d tease my aching head
but now he’s here and there with every man in town
still trying to take me for that some old clown
Because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
because I used to despise them but it’s all over now
because I used to despise them but it’s all over now

Will they be the “Tangerine” Brazil now?
Director Donald Findlay.
Its like an episode of Reggie Perrin.
It’s going too fast for me today.
Brian kennedy has a press conference? But has withdrawn?
World class bear on bear action predicted later. Kennedy, Murray and Walter Smith setting the hounds on D&P.
Don’t Miss It!
Fortunes Favour Mibbes 1338
Do you think Findlay would do anything without putting it on record?
I don’t. If the involvement with Cowdenbeath was part of a back-up plan,there will be a written record of it somewhere.
Never mind newco. At 1.05am this very morning on way to hospital a new member of the Celtic Family, Eirinn Christina Logue was born in my car at the side of the road in Corofin, Co Clare. I can’t believe i delivered a baby! Mom and baby ghirl doing well. I’m away for a wee sleep.
Paul67:
Can I ask you question relating to a previous article regarding Whyte’s shares.
Why would he transfer/sell his shares for a nominal amount if a CVA were to be agreed (which for the record will not happen FACT)?
If a CVA were agreed there is no need to dispose of shares, he can simply take the company forward, rebuild eventually and sell his shares in time if he so wishes.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Since the SFA report acknowledges that withheld taxes were use to fund the running of RFCIA this season, surely the SPL will be obliged to rescind all points gained by Rangers in the league this season?
They should be relegated
First Tim Malloy to get that coveted photo beside the padlocked gates of Ibrox and get it posted will be an absolute legned.

Wow!!!! Congratulations!!!
The press conference will be for all and sundry to get their excuses in early. They know that the game is up and now it’s about not being the ones to take the blame.
If I was D&P I would be thinking about getting out of Dodge pretty damned quick. Maybe Craig Whyte has a spare room at his place in Monaco?

Congrats and Hail Hail
taggsybhoy,
You’re right, of course, about letting Paul67 know what we think of him. I have tried to do that over the years, since I first discovered CQN while I lived in Salford. Then, I was convinced he offered those of us outside Scotland so much. Now, back residing here, I realise he offers us just as much, so bad is the media.

All this stuff surrounding the big hoose is great entertainment but your post is a truly wonderful news item!
Many, many congratulations!

Delivering babies when Rangers die ;)
Momentous indeed.
Paul, I like you, I like you a lot, we have shared a couple of nice lunches together and I admire the work you do for us.
After this blog though I ********* adore you !
philhoopyloguewantsthebighouseofpainclosedasap
Congratulations.
Anyone
Who is behind the London Based Multi Billionaire Conglomerate ?
I have this vision of someone sitting in an office with the press release outlining the results of the Big Tax Case.
He knows what it will mean .His finger hovers over the mouse button, the cursor sits on the Send button. But is it more fun to wait just a little longer?

goosebumps there,can’t wait for the movie.HH
John Pebble of Styx Enterprises
“Get ’em out by Friday!
You don’t get paid till the last one’s well on his way.
Get ’em out by Friday!
It’s important that we keep to schedule, there must be no delay.”
Mark Hall of Styx Enterprises (otherwise known as “The Winkler”)
“I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this
house and all the others in the road,
In the interest of humanity we’ve found a better place for you
to go, go-woh, go-woh”
Mrs. Barrow (a tenant)
“Oh no, this I can’t believe,
Oh Mary, they’re asking us to leave.”
Mr. Pebble
“Get ’em out by Friday!
I’ve told you before, ‘s good many gone if we let them stay.
And if it isn’t easy,
You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon run away.”
Mrs. Barrow
“After all this time, they ask us to leave,
And I told them we could pay double the rent.
I don’t know why it seemed so funny,
Seeing as how they’d take more money.
The winkler called again, he came here this morning,
With four hundred pounds and a photograph of the place he has found.
A block of flats with central heating.
I think we’re going to find it hard.”
Mr. Pebble
“Now we’ve got them!
I’ve always said that cash cash cash can do anything well.
Work can be rewarding
When a flash of intuition is a gift that helps you
excel-sell-sell-sell.”
Mr. Hall
“Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block
across the square, over there,
Sadly since last time we spoke, we’ve found we’ve had to raise
the rent again,
just a bit.”
Mrs. Barrow
“Oh no, this I can’t believe
Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave.”

This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
“It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
humanoid height.”
Extract from coversation of Joe Ordinary in Local Puborama
“I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
It’s said now that people will be shorter in height,
they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
(they say it’s alright),
Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow,
in the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must go,
told they must go-go-go-go.”
Sir John De Pebble of United Blacksprings International
“I think I’ve fixed a new deal
A dozen properties – we’ll buy at five and sell at thirty four,
Some are still inhabited,
It’s time to send the winkler to see them,
he’ll have to work some more.”
Memo from Satin Peter of Rock Development Ltd.
With land in your hand, you’ll be happy on earth
Then invest in the Church for your heaven.

Keep up,mate-I know you’ve been busy,but I posted that news at 1333,haha!
Seriously,congrats to you and yours. Well done for not panicking-or fainting……..

Aye, interesting. It will be sealed with the goat’s blood and in the hands of the “accountant”. That book would be of more value than the one that Al Capone’s book keeper guarded with his life. Seriously.
philhoopyloguewantsthebighouseofpainclosedasap,
Congratulations and very well done. What an amazing story.

Paul it was unfair for you raise the hopes of both James Traynor and Chic Young in the same article. Wee Chic dreaming of seeing his boys in blue playing at St Mirren Park, sadly too late for his beloved Love Street, more tears for that lost opportunity. And yet maybe Jim Traynor can achieve a lifetime ambition by making it on to the board of his beloved (Airdrieonians), (Clydebank), (Airdrie United), er Auld Broomfield Rangers.
When it comes down to it, surely match fixing as a betting scam is no different to match fixing through financial doping. It’s all cheating and should warrant expulsion from the league
