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to solicit an offer for the assets of the company and the only one they were in a position to consider has now been withdrawn.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from Rangers supporters and fans loud and clear (“Yank go home!”), I notified the administrators today that I have withdrawn my bid for Rangers”.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.

The great dignified Scottish sporting institution has been reduced to such a level of mind-numbing stumbling incompetence they couldn’t pick up crabs in Betty’s bar.
Ahh Bettys dont make boozers like that anymore.
I”be got that feeling I get when we are any less than 5-0 up against them with a minute to go.
I just know they get a jammy goal- the ref will add 5 non- existent minutes and award them a couple of dodgy penalties!
In other words I will believe they are dead when it actually finally happens.
Aluko’s contract up next week.Farewell Sone and naw,yer no gettin yer deposit back.
Bettys Bar is it still there, just asking ye ken?

Threats to an American; threats to the SFA 3; Threats to other clubs…
‘The fabric of Scottish society’
Over to you Mr Salmond.
I can reveal that one of the three new bids is mine.
I have decided to incubate all of the players, actually, have them frozen in time (I can’t spell Cryogenic) along with the fans (who are already frozen in time – 1690 I believe) and then come back to regenerate them in the future when the £10 I put in a savings account has accrued enough interest to pay off the debts.
I am confident that Duff and Phelps will go for it as it is the least fantastical of all bids received so far.
fingers crossed.

====================================================
With fearless and incisive reportage like that I think we can all rest easy that Scottish Sports journalism is in good hands.
Or to put it another way:
No sh1t Sherlock
Been offline after transferring from Sky to Virgin.
Is them deid noo?
What about “Armageddonized” as a term beyond liquidation?
I like that one.

Much as I’d like to see it, I don’t see the whole protection racket tumbling. Unfortunately, I also don’t see the poison dissipating; maybe a newco in some form, but not in the SPL, or some of them transfer their focus to another club – their Edinburgh cousins I’d guess.
FPLG has demanded that the names of the supporters who flew the Yanks go home banner be disclosed- for the sake of transparency
Not only do they do walking away they do chasing away
@iCeltic
Doncaster should step down now……….
no deid yet wonky, just gasping and grasping
not long now, der hun is dying and satan is ready to mop his brow

Someone should tell MacPherson on Snyde,there are no coaching jobs at Murray Park,in fact……….

He should be asked when he knew about this latest debacle,he could be complicit in the sham meeting yesterday.
You’re gonna need a bigger incubator.

Clydebank, Airdrieonians, Gretna, Rangers.
Maybe PeterLawell should put a cheeky bid in for Celtic’s Youth team to be included in SFL, there maybe a free space there in the not too distant future.
think quite a few will transfer their loyalty to murderwell
the like stampy flute tunes wi bigb drums do they not?
How come none of them went bust without rangers to play?
Fate of relegated clubs
Dunfermline lost their battle against
relegation when they went down 4-0 to
Hibernian on Monday night and clubs have
generally found it hard to bounce back at
the first attempt…
Fate of bottom clubs since SPL began
1998/99 – Dunfermline
Promoted as runners-up to St Mirren in
their first season back in Division One in
1999/00.
1999/00 – Aberdeen
No relegation as the league was expanded
to 12 clubs for 2000/01.
2000/01 – St Mirren
Finished eighth in the First Division in
2001/02.
2001/02 – St Johnstone
Third place in Division One in 2002/03.
2002/03 – Motherwell
No relegation as First Division champions
Falkirk did not have an SPL compliant
stadium.
2003/04 – Partick Thistle
Finished ninth in Division One and were
relegated for the second year in a row. Now
back in the First Division but have yet to
return to the top flight.
2004/05 – Dundee
Had to settle for seventh place in Division
One in 2005/06 and promotion has eluded
them since.
2005/06 – Livingston
Finished sixth in Division One in 2006/07 –
they are another club who have not returned
to the SPL.
2006/07 – Dunfermline
Came fifth in Division One in 2007/08 but
took the title last month and are back for
2011/12.
2007/08 – Gretna
Were in administration when relegated and
went into liquidation in August 2008.
2008/09 – Inverness CT
Bounced straight back as runaway Division
One champions despite a slow start to the
season.
2009/10 – Falkirk
Third place in the First Division in 2010/11
behind Dunfermline and Raith Rovers.
2010/11 – Hamilton Accies
Managed three seasons in the SPL but
finished fourth in Division One in 2011/12.
New bidders? After the various deadlines, the extensions and slipped timetables, there are new bidders now?
D&P are just making it up now, aren’t they?
OK folks, you’ve made a packet. Time to go home. Switch the lights out when you go.
Come to think of it,has Spiersy not tweeted yet?
RoyCroppie – I notice rangers playing in what looks like a new jersey. Surely not. why the f….. would umbro be bothering?
A last hurrah perhaps? the rangers 1873 memorial kit?
