That was only because the SPL effectively bankrolled them till the end of the season to avoid the aggravation that would follow from teams if they had to wipe out Gretna's fixtures from the results.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The SPL would certainly not have the cash to bankroll Rangers.

Don't know if this is true or not...
Tweet - HMRC Telford VAT recovery Unit have secured a session at High Court for 14:00 today to obtain an injunction to remove D&P.

I am trying to forget yesterdays second half...My Cup Final Ticket application is safely in the hands of the TO....can someone not just complete my day with substantive news of there final demise
However...its not been mentioned for ages, but I am convinced that for a wide range of reason both D&P / SPL are desparate for them to fulfill fixtures otherwise the concequences would be massive. This was IMO the reason for the players wage reduction agreement length...as without it they would never have made it...I expect them to be liquidated within hours of final match on 12th May...But it may be that the up front payment for preffered bidder status is required to keep cash flow till then (anyone else think its odd that this was widely reported as being £1 million....but recent days have seen this reduced to £500k )

I would have thought HMRC and the other creditors would be starting to apply serious pressure by now? This is what, the third extension of the final bidder deadline, there seems to be no serious offer on the table. At what point are D&P forced to come to the conclusion that liquidation is the only viable option?

For anyone who's not done the survey from the other thread yet - get it done before 6PM and ***tell everyone*** as we're meeting the SPL tomorrow.

How can a CVA be agreed if no-one knows the full extent of the liabilities? Will the 10 pence in the pound deal turn out to be 5 pence?
In my view liquidation will take place on Monday 14 May immediately after the last SPL fixtures of the season.
Then the fun will really begin!

If liquidated, would Hibs or Dunfermline still be relegated?

The soap saga continues.....
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17811695
I'm no expert but if the bids are still not 'capable of acceptance by the administrators', where does this end? They've been at this for months now - all I read about is talks with this bidder, talks with that bidder. A bloody farce.
Am I the only one who now thinks they are dragging this corpse up until all remaining fixtures are fulfilled, before the inevitable liquidation?

If Rangers liquidate before the end of the season and can't play games then they are out, their matches removed from the record and nobody goes down, I'd have thought anyway...

(No according to Cheshire and Lancashire Hibs' survey and about everyone I know. Yes according to SPL board.)

I think that one came straight from a Neil Doncaster press release. All designed to try and convince Hibs and Dunfermline to vote for a Newco as there would be no reason to vote against. It also repeated the guff about the acceptance of the Newco being a majority decision by the SPL Board rather than an 11-1 vote by member clubs.
I don't believe a word that Doncaster says. He kept telling us that agreement had been reached over a 10-team SPL when self-evidently it had not been.
Once Rangers have been ousted, Doncaster should be the next target.
Norwich have not looked back since he left them!

This would be another club from a first division that is too weak to promote more than one club out of according to the powers that be is it? Stuff an nonsense, it really is.
If Rangers go bust mid season and can't play games, they simply have to be punted out. I suspect this is why the sweat will currently be pouring down Doncasters brow. The ability to keep them in the top league, already tenuous at best surely goes out the window if that happens...

" If any Club in the league ceases to operate or to be member of the League for any reason, its playing record in the League may be expunged and the number of relegation places from the League shall be reduced accordingly. "
That is the situation if der Hun expires before the end of the Season.

I read it that the " may " word applies only to the expunging of the league record. If it were to apply to the relegation position a second
" may " would have been inserted in place of the word " shall " in the last line.
