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.

    What a wonderful weekend this is going to be! Paddys on a Saturday and hopefully a cup final which brings us closer to a momentous treble. Oh…and the huns are in turmoil. But let’s forget about them for the time being. This weekend is all about us. They have no place in any of it. Enjoy boys!!

    philvisreturns,

     

     

    We have to Forgive David.

     

     

    I liked your comment of a short spell in jail. I think your compassion was coming through there. ;) I agree that a short spell behind bars will be plenty for the man.

     

     

    As long as there are no perks but a Bible in his cell, it is the only real way he can turn from the path he was on.

    Philvis – when did SDM apologise?

     

     

    Unfortunately for him Ibrox will be a Ghetto (as the snow flies). So it’s goodbye Ruby Tuesday (who could hang the blame on you?) and he’ll be having his 19th nervous breakdown.

     

     

    I don’t want to paint it black but I have no sympathy for the devil! :-)

    It’s really sad that Elvis never played for Celtic.

     

     

    In fact he apparently never even set foot in Scotland, but looked out of the door of his plane landed at Abbotsinch Airport, and went back inside. ( read it on CQN )

     

     

    Can’t say I blame him, really.

    Did you hear about the fire at the new Hunco residence?

     

    It was in tents.

     

    Boom! Boom!

    Good morning CQN, Happy St Patrick’s day one an all.

     

     

    Haven’t read back, but earlier today I noticed some comments regarding an Alex Thomson Twet effectively stating he had heard something that Celtic are likely to come under the cosh for.

     

     

    Has anyone heard or gained any clarity on his commets?

    Murray was chemist, now Murray is no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

    Margaret McGill,

    The masonic are masters of alchemy and they are working hard with their powers to ‘fix’ this problem.

     

     

    We are witnessing something Incredible.
