    The once lauded Chairman of the old Rangers once described as having multi millions 'off the radar' in court for failing to pony up aliment.
    I think you'll find it was "billionaire".

    Morelles dropped for tonight. Imagine unsettling your own striker.

    With the Chinese window still open, surely this ‘bidding war’ has got a way to go?

    What are they going to do when the £8m bids don’t materialise?

    Very weak journalism. Was he told something by a decent source in China or not? What was the source? Why apologise for reporting something he was told by a decent source? Why has another source superceded this one? When has the BBC previously incorrectly reported something about a Scottish football club and apologised for it?
    Sounds a bit like Chinese whispers to me.

    Bird on SKY had him at £8.5m this morning.

    I was hoping they would make a (real) bid of around £500k.

    If I am reading this correctly, does it mean the Chinese club are actually willing to pay 16 million

    That's part of what exposed the lie - in order for a Chinese club to pay Sevco 8 million they would actually end up paying 16 million and that is simply absurd. Just as it is absurd that Fat Jabba can't even make up a story without it being dismantled within a day.

    The whole £9m Morelos story tells you an awful lot about the sporting media in Scotland. Last night's Sportsound wittered on for absolutely ages with Chick Young (who allegedly retired but is never off the radio) going on and on about how it would have been sensible for Rangers to take the China money for Morelos and buy Louis Moult for half a million while pocketing the change.

    Nobody challenges the notion that it's all horse**** in the first place or that there's really no justification whatsoever to suggest that the giant man-baby Morelos could be a £9m target for a Chinese team.

    The good news is that the whole thing appears to have unsettled the player who now wants more money because he's worth £9m.

    Plus the player's signing-on fee and as widely reported an annual salary of £3m.

    Still, we should be grateful. Brightens up a dull day.

    To give credit where it's due - Chris Sutton and Stephen Craigan were openly laughing about it on BT at the weekend.

    Meanwhile, Jabba Traynor went for a walk on the beach to get away from it all but he couldn't escape from getting more feed-back on his '£8M for Morelos' wheeze and how it's being perceived by mature adults -

    there's no way Morelos is worth £8m. I mean who in their right mind would offer £9m for a player in the Scottish league. I'd like to see evidence of this £10m bid, I mean £11m who are they kidding. Saying that £12m would really help them out as they are skint.

    £13m for Morelos, aye right.

    DR reporting that they have agreed a £3m overdraft facility with Close Brothers, secured on the training ground and car park.

    What happened to Dave King’s money?
    Close Brothers will get their pound of flesh out the Huns. Like taking out a 2nd charge on your house, never a cheap option.

    Gets them to the next lot of Season Ticket Sales and they will be assuming European Football
    But if they achieve that Its time to splash the cash on a new Manager and backroom (unless they make do with what they have ) New players as they must progress in Europe and current squad wont
    King is now more visible and Hands on with his one week out the month staying in Glasgow do wonder what plan he is hatching next

    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Close Brothers sound like a strange Christian sect-from both sides of the Great Western Divide.

    The answer to Rangers' issues is clearly to employ the guy who scammed the Accies.

    (Any suggestion that they already did is not implied, and is a figment of your fevered mind.....)
