What makes you so sure that Miller will walk?

There are too many ifs and buts.

The Craig Whyte issue has not gone away despite the wishful thinking by the Admins.

Why is Kennedy talking to Whyte about his shareholding.

Has Miller paid his £1,000,000 sorry £500,000?

do they not make money from the cd sales??

[ScottB]

I suppose all this bending over for the Newco means jack if there's nobody there with the cash to set one up...

Is there some sort of deadline by which one would have to exist or lose its place in the league?

[ScottB]

Also Alex Thomson was hinting pretty strongly at UEFA having an opinion on all of this other than it being left to the SFA / SPL, that they had expressed to him when being bombarded with the usual crap his Twitter feed gets...

I think the real deadline is when the administrators run out of cash.

There is less than one week till the end of the season, which I assume that they budgeted for. At the end of the season the wage reductions expire and the big earners will be able to walk.

There is no prospect of any revenue unless the preferred bidder is willing to put cash in.

Fat Sally McWattie Junior was being quoted this morning as saying that he had no plans to visit Wild Bill and that Wild Bill had no plans to visit Govan.

That's a pretty big volte face since last week.

Looks like Wild Bill's interest is cooling.

And just why would he be talking to Kennedy about acquiring some bulging-eyed shares??

[green glory]

IIRC if the Huns disappear and are unable to fofm as a newco, Dunfy will still be relegated and Ross County and Dundee will have to come up. Dundee derbies in the SPL next season!

They just don't get it, do they?

Taken from Follow Follow :

Why do they really want to punish the Rangers?

Some 140 years ago a football team came into existence that has since contributed enormously to the institution of Scottish football. Some 200 Rangers players have represented Scotland and over that time the name of Rangers has stood for all that has been good in the game. The standards set by the likes of Mr Struth and others in terms of sporting behaviour integrity and good grace has been the envy of many. Our supporters have filled the coffers of other Scottish clubs for years. There may in some minds be a shadow over Ibrox from our years of excluding Catholics but frankly they were perhaps less enlightened times were many of our detractors probably harboured their own prejudices on grounds of race sex or sexuality. What we don't have is a shadow over Ibrox of supporting terrorist organisations against British troops or a cover up of pedophilia. So this institution The Rangers, that has done more positive for the game than any other club in Scotland must now be punished. What for? Punished because one man, a crook and a charlatan has raped Rangers, punished because one man eluded the rigours of the SFA/SPL fit and proper person guidelines. For 140 years of great and distinguished service to the Scottish game, for bringing fame glory and enormous talent to this land, for generating significant economic benefit to Scotland as a whole as thousands pour in from NI and places further afield there is no thanks just punishment.
The Rangers have done nothing wrong, Craig Whyte the crooked one, has done the wrong here, and he has done the wrong not just to the Rangers but also to the rest of Scottish football.
Why are we being punished? Normal behaviour when an institution that is so very important to the culture and fabric not just of the Scottish game but the Scottish nation would be to rally round and support. Positive and supportive press would have without doubt led to greater interest in saving our great institution, more support from the game would also have helped and loyaly and gratitude from our legions would have poured forth. So why punish The Rangers, it makes no sense, morally, economically, or in the interests of sport in Scotland it makes no sense.
It's petty and vindictive, and we all know that when the Rangers come through this, and Rangers will, that institution will not seek revenge or payback, Rangers the club won't do that, but, our enemies need to know that if they cannot answer the question Why punish The Rangers? then we the legions that follow Rangers will pay them back ten fold.

All the sins of the cheating barstewards heaped on to one individual. This post of course was followed by assorted outpourings, citing, envy, jealousy and Sectarianism.

And the cry was WE SURRENDER

[cabbageandribs1875]

We continued to work through the holiday weekend in order to meet a very compressed schedule. By late
Monday night, it became clear to me that preliminary information, discussions and analysis were,
unfortunately, more optimistic than reality. Having no intention of negatively affecting the potential
outcome of the club's future and after hearing the message from Rangers supporters and fans loud and
clear ("Yank go home!"), I notified the administrators today that I have withdrawn my bid for Rangers and
will not be moving forward.

Bbc reporting miller has withdrawn bid

[JeMeSouviens]

Would've been happier if he'd strung it out for a couple of weeks before withdrawing but ho, hum. Back to world's worst Hibby, Kennedy, then. Wonder if they'll bother with the charade of attempting a CVA or if it's straight to the Big L?

So now we know why Duff and Duffer made a non-appearance yesterday and then called for an adjournment of the SPL meeting!
