Whyte is still the only bidder and he didn’t even bid

1027

It was theoretically possible someone could have bid for Rangers today but it was always more likely that interim-managers, Duff and Phelps, would get offers that were dependent on a remarkably positive upside.

Sure, if HRMC get their bums handed to them on a plate by the First Tier Tribunal (FTT), Craig Whyte decides to tear up his security on Ibrox and Ticketus forget where they put the contract of sale for the next three years season tickets, even I’d bid for them.  Not much, though, I’m only interested in Waitrose Park out at Milngavie.

There is nothing Duff and Phelps can do about the FTT but wait for the verdict.  It might report in their favour.  If so, it’s game on and they will surely invite offers for sale again, until then, they will have to shuffle paper and look busy.

No one has been able to shift Craig Whyte’s security or offered to buy Ibrox from him, so he is the only real bidder for Rangers and I don’t think he even bid today.  Our old friend Game Theory would have us busy planning for a scenario when he exercises his power in this game.  Ostracising him might encourage him to walk away, or it might force him to dig his heels in.

Game Theory would also suggest we don’t play poker when we know the other guy has four aces, they don’t often walk away.

Pay the man or find a way of telling yourself he’s not that bad after all.

    “We haven’t started at all this half, second to every ball blah, blah, blah”

     

     

    “But we are still good enough to take the lead against this p*** poor mob”

  6. CultsBhoy loves being 1st on

    even hun captain Davis looks dejected…nice to know you are not only getting pumped by spl mediocrity but you are 75% down in wages…shame, eh?

     

     

    expect early ‘get out’ clauses to be initiated in the summer…if the huns are still in existence. Part of me wants them in the SPL next season..

  7. Not much value in the colour commentator there. Basically, he said it was a good shot. We know that. What he didn’t point out was, Rangers had 3 headers, none of which got out of the penalty box.

     

     

    These guys rarely add much. Wonder why they are there at all….

  8. happy paddy’s day everybody/ beannachtaí lá ‘le Phadraig agaibh go léir

    Celtic O Lennon…….1-0 Utd……screamer…!!!!

  11. Administrators are querying the validity of the goal and will challenge in court next week …….. if they can find a day when they are not in court for something else.

  12. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!..Truth and Justice will always prevail on

    HT……easy street for Utd so far……

  13. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    His stinkin attitude to Neil when he first became manager will forever taint Houston.

  14. Good man Sammi

     

     

    Hope he gives a few of them a rocket.

     

     

    Oooh nearly another

     

     

    Interesting FK to huns from corner

  15. kevinlasvegas on

    That refs a hun and even looks like one, big rid angry face and looks as though hes just out the pub.

  16. Bhoys please,some sympathy for the hun players today,

     

    dont you know that you are earning more than half of them nowadays,

     

    some of them may even have taken on second jobs

    Cheers Tony i’ll try get a word with him next time he’s on. Only get 2 weeks at home in June so dont want any long flights so gave the scouser the option of milan or barca and she chose barca so cant complain. Looking forward to it already, Will definitely have to fit milan in also at the end of the year.

    If Utd win today and Mutherwell drop a point in any of their 2 forthcoming games, we can win the SPL at ipox……I would prefer to win it at Celtic Park, to be honest…..gives all of our (fantastic) fans the ‘BIG DAY OUT’
