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clear ("Yank go home!"), I notified the administrators today that I have withdrawn my bid for Rangers and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.

dafties

Not like the Rangers fans to be shown up as an intolerant bunch....

Bill Miller has withdrawn his bid for Rangers

Liquidation now surely inevitable

This month is shaping up pretty nicely so far - let's just hope the good news continues for another couple of weeks.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 08-05-2012 04:16 PM

It would appear that Miller has walked away!

Oh well, what a shame.

Now saying more bids on table

***Jim44*** · 08-05-2012 04:20 PM

I was just enjoying a wee gloating glance over in FF but it has just crashed with a bump. The natives must be restless.

Pretty much sums up every single stage of this process so far. Long may it continue.

Amen to that

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

Mmmmm but it says by monday 'night' he realised(not that means fact right enough), oh to be a fly on the wall :)

wouldn't it be nice if he really was their only true hope :)

**calmac12000** · 08-05-2012 04:25 PM

You know. despite everything this could turn out to be my favorite ever football season.

If these so called administrators dredge up more bidders, surely they can be removed for incompetence and lacking any credibility?

For those with twitter, start trending #WeAreAllHMRC

***degenerated*** · 08-05-2012 04:29 PM

He's using the fact that the Huns were chanting yank go home as part of excuse for pulling out

Back to Paul Murray again and he's not got a pot to piss in.

**hibeesdude** · 08-05-2012 04:29 PM

worth a rerun

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 08-05-2012 04:30 PM

A panorama special apparently concluded re murray & the buns, he's quite desperate to stop it getting shown

An hour slot has been given to BBC Scotland Investigates on BBC 1 Wed 23rd May at 8pm.

**JeMeSouviens** · 08-05-2012 04:31 PM

I imagine the latest bout of over optimism from D&P was the fantasy that an asset purchase will include automatic transfer of the players. Even Fraser Wishart saw through that one.

I actually think the Huns might be about to voluntarily give up the ghost on the SPL and head for SFL Div3. They can't stand the thought of being in the SPL and not competing for the title. It would be the perfect end to the story for the SFL to tell them to join the queue and let Spartans in first.

It's quite normal.

It's just the vultures picking over a dying body!

So having pissed off Paul Murray and scared off Windy Miller with their pie-in-the-sky escape plan, Haudit and Daudit are at least consoled bythe fact that they can always rely on Auntie Beeb to sugar coat a bad news story. 3 New Bids!! Hooray!

**The Godfather** · 08-05-2012 04:39 PM

Here is a wee thought, the Gers might not even end up on Scotland. Wouldn't a Newco not look at the possibility of moving to England. Why spend 3 years getting back to the Scottish Premier, when the same amount of time could be used to get them into the lower English Leagues (second div)?

***Golden Bear*** · 08-05-2012 04:40 PM

This whole unseemly saga has given a new meaning to the word "deadline".

Absolute farce.

They would need to find a new home south of the border

**ekhibee** · 08-05-2012 04:43 PM

What a bunch of complete morons, particularly those idiots with the banners and shouts of Yank Go Home. Wonder what Rangers, or whatever they're going to call themselves, their derby game is going to be in Div 3? To be honest, who cares?
