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.

    A compelling read! makes Dan Brown look like Enid Blyton.

     

     

    Who was the ‘third party’ responsible for commissioning the report about CW before the take-over?

     

     

    Who were the ‘unknowns’ who met with CW regulary at Ibroke?

     

     

    If the finance director has his delegation reduced from £10000 to £100, wouldn’t that arouse suspicion?

     

     

    Who was responsible for the two ‘clip-art’ invoices found at Ticketus by HMRC?

     

     

    Aside from £1M released to ranjurz in Nov/Dec ’11, no new money found it’s way into ranjurz accounts, how was Swally going to pay Goodwillie, Sandaza, Grant Holt or Daniel Cousin?

     

     

    Ranjurz knew that a fine would be a likely outcome, why did they present no financial statement as part of their mitigation?

     

     

    Ranjurz knew, prior to the hearing, the identities of the panel, why did Swally pretend otherwise?

    Huns absolutely lost.

     

     

    No team to follow anymore.

     

     

    Nothing to do on a Saturday but go into town where they will see thousands of fans in green and white scarves and clover’s on their chest, happily going to the game.

     

     

    It is a wonderful image.

    Special guest is rumoured to be Paul Gasgoine with fish suppers and cans of lager.

  16. After more skimming of that document, particularly “clip art” section, I can see why the constabulary are sniffing about Snake Mountain.

  17. Green Lantern (((((0))))) on

    Just seen the Paddy Power advert about a guy who bets against his team and has to take up life in a new country with a new family etc. when his mates find out.

     

    The name of his new team is Athletico Kebab.

     

    Just a thought given the dietary habits of your average orc and indeed their corpulent manager.

    Bidder Announcement Soon

     

     

    Fri, May 11, 2012

     

    by Lindsay Herron

     

     

    ALLY McCOIST is hopeful a preferred bidder for Rangers will be named later today by Duff & Phelps.

     

     

    The manager spoke with the administrators today and revealed that TWO more potential buyers have come to the table.

     

     

    He said: “I spoke to the administrators this morning and they are very encouraged about being very close to naming a preferred bidder.

     

     

    “They also told me that two new potential purchasers have come into the frame and I believe Brian Kennedy has also spoken to the administrators.

     

     

    “It was quite exciting this morning. There was a queue of bidders going right round the corridor. t felt like I was in court only joking of course”

     

     

    “Whoever comes in I hope they have the best interests of the club at heart and can take us forward. That’s the most important thing.

     

     

    “I am not about to get carried away but I remain optimistic.

     

     

    “I know of one of the gentlemen in the UK consortium and I would be positive about that gentleman although I have never met him.”

     

     

    McCoist has also called on the supporters to be fair-minded when a preferred bidder is revealed.

     

     

    He said: “The fans have been nothing short of sensational but they must keep the faith. They are 100 per cent right to be guarded but they must give people a chance regardless of their skin colour , religion or clothing attire”

     

     

    “They need to be fair and open-minded.”
