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.

Sorry to say I haven’t a clue. I used to live in Bray (for a year) but never watched any games there. Roccobhoy who used to post here lives there.
I think you’d have to go into Dublin centre to one of the CSCs to catch the game.
FYI I live in Florida now.

Cheers,mate.
Big parade Sunday in Sydney.
And then replay of the game Monday lunch time.
Ye cannae whack it.
Paul67 – Not much, though, I’m only interested in Waitrose Park out at Milngavie.
You are a man of excellent taste, Paul.
Waitrose represents the current high-water mark of civilisation. Their wine selection is to die for. Their grissini is the best you’ll taste this side of Padania.
I don’t know how middle class people manage to survive in Scotland with so few Waitroses. (thumbsup)
tarrant 22:27,
Leftfield were superb and that is a kickin track.
cheers dublinbhoy – warm warm florida
Some cracking choons on here just now, good background music.
