We are five days away from the end of the season, Duff and Phelps have spent 10 weeks trying to solicit an offer for the assets of the company and the only one they were in a position to consider has now been withdrawn.
The stadium remains in Craig Whyte’s hands.
The SPL has not offered a place in the league.
The players can choose to become free agents on Sunday.
Duff and Phelps have no money to pay anyone or anything after 31 May.
Are you getting the picture?
Whatever ‘good news’ Duff and Phelps come out with later, or ‘Rangers to benefit from Miller withdrawal’ you read about tomorrow, not one piece of positive news has gone Rangers way in weeks.
This is a dead football club. If there was an accountancy term beyond liquidation, perhaps uber-liquidation, they would be uber-liquidated (there’s not, but if this gets any worse the English language will need some re-work).
Yesterday’s delay was the most complete confirmation possible, for anyone still harbouring doubt, today’s message from Miller should be no surprise to Celtic Quick News readers.
Miller’s parting shot:
“After hearing the message from Rangers supporters and fans loud and clear (“Yank go home!”), I notified the administrators today that I have withdrawn my bid for Rangers”.
…has the makings of a topic for a business doctorate, if anyone is looking for one. I’d elaborate but reckon we’re all a little carried away at the moment for serious debate.
The histrionics since yesterday and, if you don’t mind me saying, lack of appreciation of these historic times, would dishonour teenage girls (no offense teenage girls).
Please stop with all the silliness, indignation and faux trauma. Some football supporters have real issues to worry about.

Righto, ending my self imposed embargo of Snyde. The sound of pain is just too alluring.
Snyde Baloney Sweepstake Special!
When will the phrase ‘leaves the door open for the bloo knights’ be uttered?
How many times will it be said?
Who will say it 1st?
How many times will ‘the good of Scottish football’ be spouted
My bets are
1 minute 45 seconds
3 times
Uh, dunno who is on but Dwaryll if he’s on
64 times if Gordon (is a moron) is on.
Looking forward to the SNP galloping to the rescue for this firm, employs 277 people and has also paid it’s taxes I believe:

Tomorrow’s DR: Bill Miller’s Warped ‘Live Within Your Means!’ Lunacy Defeated By Ragin’ Gers Fans!
LOONEY
Bill ‘the looney’ Miller has sensationally withdrawn his bid for the most dignified football club in the world just minutes before the administrators told him to shove it where the sun don’t shine. Miller, who astonishingly, didn’t meet Ally McCoist, had underestimated just how much this club is loved by it’s supporters.
BALKED
It’s believed Miller balked at the thought of sinking millions of pounds into the most famous institution in this office. Apparently he expected a financial return, we can exclusively reveal!
SHOCKED
A clearly shocked Alistair McCoist said: ‘I’m clearly shocked, I thought that Mr Miller would have realised that it is an enormous privilege to have every penny he’s ever made pumped into this venerable institution!’
BLUE KNIGHTS
Paul Murray, spokeman for the as yet, unnamed or unconfirmed Blue Knights said ‘Jesus! Will it never stop?!’
LENNON
The SFA are investigating Neil Lennon’s part in all this, an anonymous source said: ‘naebuddies saying it wis him, but sellick huvnae said it wisnae him either, add that tae the fact that he’s a fanta-pants, if ye get ma drift, it jist looks sus!’
I’m John McKay and I’m gonnae cry ready to head to that squinty bridge by the look of him.
I’m John McKay…
I want to sob….. o((((
STV – It’s not Miller time

………….
She is one of the new bids on the Ipox table.
Lol oh Jesus … Sky saying he pulled out cause of “anti-American sentiment.”
Dear God, that is remarkable.
He pulled out cause, frankly, the Rangers fans are the cast of The Adams Family.
Best performance by a Willie Miller since the 1983 ECWC Final

SSB, RealRadio, BBC Scotland, Radio Scotland…..
I need quadrophonic ears
You wait three months for a bidder to come along turn your head away and it flashes past you, luckily enough their are another three coming up the street.
Like the rest of you I’m laughing my socks off but what actually has changed.
Many on here and Alex Thomson were saying the Miller bid would fall apart (even Roddy Forsyth suggested there would be issues on the day the preferred status was granted).
What troubles me is that the stated aim of the SFA/SPL (albeit covertly) is to have Rangers in the SPL next season.
That I’m sure hasn’t changed so expect many more mood swings on here in days to come.
good evening cqn
Bill Miller says Rangers Financial position is worst than he thought,when I heard this I thought of the quote I read on the blog yesterday
Rangers are sinking faster than a whales Jobby
brilliant
James Forrest,
That’s a bit harsh on Raul Julia (rest his soul) and Anjelica Houston!
Sue Barker longing for the day that Aly will be back beside her on Question Of Sport.
I know we’re all enjoying this but surely time for d an p to be removed and real admins being installed to work in the creditors best intetests.
Shut them down.
SSB – oh god its crying time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
