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

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    bournesouprecipe – I won’t be cruel. You’d have to have a wooden heart not to like that picture.

     

     

    Only suspicious minds would suggest it was photoshopped.

     

     

    My burning love for Celtic makes me recognise the wonder of you in reminding us the King of Kings of Kings was no hound dog, but a true Celt.

    A Zoe Rabbitt amalgamation would be interesting and has probably been tried in a lab.

    Suspicious Minds probably most appropriate these days.

    FORGOTTEN HERO, A SONG OF MICHAEL DAVITT

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBBiuujlcp4&feature=player_detailpage

     

     

    Patron of Celtic FC,

     

    He laid the 1st sod of turf at CP.

     

    “On alien soil like yourself I am here;

     

    I’ll take root and flourish, of that never fear;

     

    And though I’ll be crossed sore and oft by the foes,

     

    You’ll find me as hardy as Thistle or Rose.

     

    If model is needed on your own pitch you’ll have it.”

     

     

    Apparently it was reported that “He fancied that the green sod conveyed from dear old Donegal would prove so slippery that any Saxon rival who ran over it would fall a cropper!”

     

    Sadly, the turf was stolen overnight giving rise to a poem which began:

     

    “The curse of Cromwell blast the hand that stole the sod that Michael cut; May all his praties turn to sand – the crawling, thieving scut”!

    What I wanna bring is the Thunder Back.

     

     

    INCREDIBLE for a ROOKIE manager.

     

     

    Cheated out of every bit of Silverware last year, like the mild mannered Tony Mowbray was before this hard fighting man took on the most impossible challenge.

     

     

    Getting the support EXCITED once again.

     

     

    Theres only 1 Neil Lennon and he is one of us.

    Morning Kit!

     

     

    May I refer you to Brogan Rogan’s memorable comment from earlier tonight.

     

     

    Gist: “I am bored shitless of the huns.”

     

     

    Happy St Patricks Day to you, and I hope you are well set for the first leg of Neil’s glorious treble.

     

     

    On this day, tell us something about the Irish diaspora in your corner of the globe.

    I am very much so of like mind however the events are not of our making and we just have to roll with the day.

     

     

    I’d be much, much, much more bored if the story was about us as opposed them.
