Sterling work by Chris McLaughlin at the BBC who brought us the news that Duff and Phelps have rejected a bid for Rangers from Brian Kennedy, the owner English rugby club, Sale Sharks. Earlier today Kennedy suggested the administrators get their act together and move towards appointing a preferred bidder.
A preferred bidder may now be identified, if not yet publicly announced.
I can imagine the process to whittle bidders down:
‘Tell me, do you own Ibrox Stadium or security and floating charge over it?’
‘No? Ah, that’s a problem, as we don’t have it either. Where do you propose to play matches?’
‘Forget that one, someone tipped off St Mirren.’
‘Don’t take that tone with me, we’re doing our best in difficult circumstances and we’ve not been paid a pound. Yet.’
Craig Whyte controls the security and floating charge over Ibrox. He provided Ticketus with security for the money they due on the season tickets they purchased, worth in the region of £40m.
Mr Whyte and Ticketus, or a proxy, are the only show in town – and that show is not a CVA. Everything else is just shooting the breeze at £600 per hour.

Loved the Village Green Preservation Society album by the Kinks.
That was in my psychedelic drug taking days…oh for those halcyon days: endless summers of youthful joy…ahh
Awe_Naw
Cheers for that.
Ever since 1972 when we played host to some Motherwell twin town guys from Schweinfurt(?) I have had a liking to visit Germany, never did get round to it, so …
I was speaking to my step daughter in california last night, she has decided on the venue for her 40th birthday bash
I have to say I am looking forward to staying here in September…
The London, West Hollywood
Not sure about the Gordon Ramsay bit
(after every sentence, add “maybe you’ve been brainwashed too”)
Consider the fact that
Maybe you’ve been brainwashed too
Many will tell you otherwise
I bet you trust your bank
Just wait until it tanks
Your parents had it planned
We’re almost like them?
Fun, racist professional sports
Management gets the real rewards
Multi-national owned evening news
If we believe we’re fools
You watch 4.5 hours of t.v a day
And we should listen to what you say?
Opinions on life and the world
You eat at the Hard Rock abroad and disrespect your girl
Sexism is so ingrained
that women get the blame
Is it smug middle-class satisfaction you peddle?
Better hope your car don’t break down in the Ghetto
Rich companies lobby best
Use their products, prepare to lose a breast
Why your sick mother’s health insurance got
“Accidentally” cancelled is no mystery
Somebody’s paying the government a lot
To have access to everybody’s medical history
Greedy banks bought all the farms
Chemical food, aren’t our lives charmed
Teenagers baited, their money spent
With credit cards at twenty percent
Too broke to worry about the loan
Their funkin turning off your phone
And politics, a f***ing joke
Right and left; they’re both a hoax
Just hope the “international” markets don’t crash!
Rock ‘n’ Roll! Some truth? Alas!
Careerist cowards sucking ass
Is real investigative reporting dead?
Of course, but keep watching your CNN
The glitz, the glamor, all jokes aside
If a sponsor pays enough, they’d turn a blind eye
On third world genocide
“Bro, don’t get heavy, the bills are paid!”
Twice a week (missionary style) we all get laid
Middle management goes first, you’re out on your ass
Most ignorance is bred at home
Good Christian families? then why condone
Petty hatred of anythng different or new
The fat girl hung herself in June
No love at home, they thought she was strong
Her classmates made her up her own song
“Piggy Peggy ate everyone’s pie”
“The kids moved on,” one teacher cried
The kids switched targets
The week after she died
Well? human nature won’t change much
Unless we make a shameful bunch
Of those we see so glaringly
Who show hate, ignorance, and hypocracy
Don’t be a coward – make a stand!
Get in their face – act like a ham
Let people know it’s not PC
To be greedy and judgemental under the guise of religion and democracy
Get loud and stand up every time
If you even give a f*** about mankind
Cuz if human nature don’t evolve soon
Don’t kid yourself, you’re f***ing doomed!
Don’t run away from change and growth
Let’s start right now, “I take the oath!”
But first accept one simple truth
That maybe you’ve been brainwashed too

MMmhhhhhhh no such luxuries at my place just sunshine and all of its produce
Hail Hail
Have the SFA fast-tracked the sectarian singing at Ibrokes a month ago against Killie?
Even the suggestion that Whyte might be bothering to get lawyers to defend SFA charges means either:
a) He has every intention of an ongoing involvement in Scottish Football with Newco;
or
b) He is using the suggestion that he might have a ongoing involvement as a bargaining chip to get the best deal for himself from whoever else is interested in running Newco.

Merchant House Group shares suspended hmmmm
Hail Hail
RRC
do you get a free bird for a back rub for that price ? ;-)
Hail Hail
RRC-
The London is a fantastic hotel/resort. I have never stayed there, but have had a few business meetings in the lounges. West Hollywood is a swish place these days and your group is sure to have a fantastic stay. The pool on the roof affords breathtaking views across Los Angeles skyline, especially at night- simply magical.
Merchant House Group has suspended its shares on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
The stock exchange announcement said: ‘At the request of the company trading on AIM for the under-mentioned securities has been temporarily suspended from 29/03/2012 10.30am, pending an announcement.’
In a February statement the group said it had been in discussions with the Financial Services Authority over a supervisory notice issued to Pritchard Stockbrokers, which holds client money for Merchant House’s structured products division.
WH Ireland subsequently acquired an 8,000 strong client book from Pritchards as the private client stockbroker fell into administration.
Ralph Waldo-
If you are lurking, where did you and your better half decide to stay for the conference?
Gordon J
Of course the hearing was postponed, its all about waiting for the BTC.
The SFA do not want to be the ones pulling the plug on RFC, its all so predictable.
” It wizmae me” will soon take over from “no surrender”
Pathetic, every last one of them.
What about the disrepute charges against Rangers?
How long will they be allowed to inflict damage on Scottish football?
RRC
That is a swish place indeed. Why do they build these things after I move?
It feels like when my Mom and Dad finally got the full bhoona Sky package…after I moved out.
Mutter grumble…
Anyone
Isn’t there an ‘accounts due’ date drawing ever closer?
U
Awe_Naw,
So a company Craig Whyte was involved in sold its clients to a company called Ireland??
That will prove to the FF brigade that he is an undercover agent brought in to destroy their club!

Same place SIr Moonbeams has all his shares !!!!!

Sounds the business, I am looking forward to it.
I have been to West Hollywood before, on the first occasion I went looking for the Whiskey -a -go -go
Turns out it is on the corner of Sunset & Clark.
I have stayed in Carlsbad and Vista before, this time I am heading for Escondido
All familiar to you, I guess
:-)
Welcome to Scotland,where you can’t bless yourself with intent, but it’s fine to try to blow people up, as long as you’re shite at it.
I can assure the paranoid that the decision to pay ‘honourable’ Dunfermline money and meanwhile dinngie ‘disdainful’ Dundee United, has nothing, absolutely nothing at all to do with the Arab’s historical roots.
Rocket Man
Staying there..
A once in a lifetime event for me I reckon…
I haven’t seen my SD for 10 years so really buzzed up about the trip

I posted it the other week. No one has yet dared to ask if Scottish society as a whole, let alone the joke that is Scottish football would be better off without them.
I see Zaluska has signed a new three year deal.
Does he expect the number one jersey to become available, or is he just happy to be a back up at Celtic?
Happy Birthday MrsBT.
Raising a glass to you in sunny Manchester.
One of the best lines I heard on here ( I think it was Estadio Nacional)
“Ladies & Gentleman, we are about to land at Glasgow airport, please put your watches back 200 years”
I still like it.
apologies if it wasn’t EN
Anyone any idea why twice within a year those accused of offences against Neil Lennon appear to have been charged with the wrong offences.
somebody not doing their job or doing it very well indeed.
Take your pick.
As someone equally proud of my Irish and Scottish heritages, the place stinks from top to bottom.
Maybe they are trying to force us to leave the country!
To be honest not a bad idea these days.
Just drove 193 miles, but managed to get a petrol station without a big queue of panic buyers.

“Of all the stories and reporting we note that the Daily Record /Sunday Mail will write any old rubbish Colin Hendry tells them without checking the facts ,clearly this news paper group is not interested in the facts this paper is only interested in writing good things about their mates , poor biased reporting ,you cant possibly hurt poor Colins feelings seems to be the attitude of that newspaper ”
Somebody needs to tell these people that this is the Daily Record and Sunday Mail`s standard position when it comes to Rangers FC and its past and current employees.
Brian Kennedy walks away.
