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to solicit an offer for the assets of the company and the only one they were in a position to consider has now been withdrawn.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from Rangers supporters and fans loud and clear (“Yank go home!”), I notified the administrators today that I have withdrawn my bid for Rangers”.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

If there was ever a reliable hunameter for measuring crisis amongst the Orcian horde then meltdown on the message boards is it…all their sites are down with a clear sign of mass panic!
I still soooooo hope that Craig Whyte will one day declare himself to be an embittered Airdrie fan.

They are marketing it with the spirit of Barcelona ’72; it might just mean 1872-let’s start again!
Saying that the fans don’t want him and that the numbers don’t stack up Mr Miller withdraws his bid. Didn’t take long for this not so silly American Billy to realise that for the average denizen of Ibrox, the only numbers that add up at all are ONE, SIX, NINE, ZERO.
Neil Doncaster just been on BBC Scotland.
Why on earth does he persevere with that decomposing ex-Ted, angry-lesbian-activist hairdo?
Did Wild Bill have his incubator with him when he walked away? Come to think of it does he always walk around with his incubator- strapped to his back or on wheels like a pram?

I have been stuck in meetings in Sheffield all day, so I missed this.
I have known you for many years. You’re humour and wit has always made me smile. You have lightened up dark times. But until now you have never made me howl with laughter.!!!

MASS panic. Surely a typo.

I haven’t said anything even remotely close to that.
You’ve either been unable to understand my posts or you’ve chosen to misrepresent them.

Lie down ya clown !
Stars – some of our less gruntled fellow travellers might not be enjoying the taste of the humble pie after the total over reaction and misreading the meaning of yesterdays events!
Still they can always help the situation by refusing to give Celtic money ever again, just because………
Its hard to feel sorry for them, in fact it is impossible to feel sorry for them.
Remember last season how in the run in clubs they struggled to beat before the split were well beaten?
Now we know why, Operation Save Rangers in full swing?
Remember how it felt losing to ICT knowing they would not drop points in the run in?
If they are allowed back as Newco it will be more of that as club chairmen look at what result bests suits their business and they want mugs to pay to watch?
Hunbelievable.

“You sound a little bit sceptical,” said C4
News’ Krishnan Guru-Murthy to me last
Thursday as I spoke to him live at Ibrox.
Well yes, I predicted then that Bill Miller’s
takeover was just the latest wild gesture
from the artistes of despair currently known
as Rangers FC administrators Duff and
Phelps.
After a bizarre day where press conference
questions were banned and administrator
Paul Clark walked out of my interview
because he’d said they’d only done “some”
due diligence on Bill Miller. I had expected
more than “some” after the previous
takeover fiascos at this club – and he
realised it too late.
When those desperate to flog the financially-
toxic club don’t mention by name any of the
key creditors and shareholders, as they did
not in their statement, you can feel the deal
crashing all around you.
All the while one key shareholder telling me
this was going nowhere, that he’d been shut
out – that other new deals out of sight
would soon shove this nonsense aside.
Then Bill Miller openly abusing Craig Whyte
from the US. Hardly tactically astute when
Mr Whyte enjoys major shareholder status
whatever your plan. Craig Whyte knew it,
saw it, read it, failed to see the funny side
dontcha know?
To cap it all a Glasgow tabloid then
deciding the really smart thing is to start
raking up the muck over Bill Miller’s marital
situation, divorce and remarriage – would
you want to come to Glasgow and spend
millions? This – ladies and gentlemen – is
just not how they do things among the
country club set in Tennessee, nor Florida
where Mr Miller has retired. Own goal –
major own goal.
We don’t know how genuine the fans’
animosity was and I’ve yet to talk to Mr
Miller but he at least says it was a major
factor as well. And since so many RFC fans
want demotion several divisions – though
for various reasons – not the Miller Shiny
Happy Rangers People, who can blame the
guy?
Then there’s the taxman, for whom all this
Newco/Oldco shenanigans will go down like
a cup of proverbial. They were never
brought in, never fully consulted and
resented what appeared to be the
administrators briefing anybody daft enough
tio listen, that they had been consulted. I
mean, why brief the media that the taxman
had been a part of this then make no
mention of the taxman in your public
statement. Omnishambolic.
Neil Doncaster, the Scottish Premier League
boss, has just been on to reassure me that
it makes no difference to their 30 May
meeting – postponed from yesterday – to
deal with penalties for clubs who can’t
manage their cash. He seemed pretty
relieved frankly – at least one storm that it
was all about shoehorning Bill Miller’s new
Rangers back into Premier League football
can blow itself out.
There’ll be plenty more, as he’d be first to
acknowledge.

I would like to thank you for a quality blog. Around 7/8yrs ago I first came across this site and it has been educational, entertaining and the charity work by members truly inspiring.
I have been warning taxdodger’s fans for most of that time they were on the road to ruin citing the info from this site and latterly, RTC & Phil only to be told we don’t care as long as we are winning trophies.
Well they care now. Oh and the trophies will soon disappear as well.
Now I feel vindicated. Given the work you have put in I would imagine that is multiplied 1000 fold on your part. You have known all along you were right….now the world knows.
Hail Hail.

Perfect description.

The length time over which this huns death is being played out may now be boring to some people but not me. Nope.
Loving it. Loving it I tell ‘ye.
The slow, painful, agonising demise for their evil support is palpable. And utterly, utterly wonderful.
I just can’t get enough.
