New BK bid in with Brian Kennedy. Wonder how long this will last?

Notice it is Murray and Kennedy bid. Thought Murray was declared not fit and proper by SFA?

---

So... Murray earlier told BBC Scotland he and Kennedy were workgin on a bid "with very few conditions".

The only eensy-weensie conditions are that... "[The offer] is conditional on a CVA being approved by the creditors, and Mr [Craig] Whyte's shares being acquired."

That'll be them sorted then - panic over :greengrin

"As a result of the participation of one of our Directors on an SFA panel, this football club finds itself now having to contend with various threats in the form of emails and telephone calls, during the build-up to an important SFL league match.This club, along with every other club in the SPL and SFL, voted for change at last year's AGM. Part of that change involved the setting up of a panel of individuals who would give of their time to better facilitate and judge on football issues affecting the game in Scotland.

Individuals who agreed to an involvement in that process now find themselves chased by the media, vilified by sections of the press, subjected to abuse and hate. If this is the consequence of participation, it is more than likely that many will wish to consider whether or not such participation is worth such a price.

This football club remains supportive of our Director's involvement in what has turned out to be a fiasco. It is, however, incumbent on us as a football club to point out that we are NOT directly involved in the process per se. Threats to our staff, our infrastructure and our reputation is something we could well do without. So far this week significant additional costs have been incurred here at Kirkcaldy. Equally, tomorrow's important game against our friends from Dumfries, will be subject to greater security and police presence than would otherwise be the norm.

The Board at RRFC will have to consider why we should be subject to additional costs in support of a battle which has nothing to do with the football club. We may well be viewed as 'collateral damage' in the wider debate re the future of one of the country's larger footballing institutions, but we are nevertheless heartily sickened by what has happened this week.

This Board now looks to the footballing authorities to defuse the current mayhem and allow this football club – and no doubt others – to get back to business as usual.

Vice-Chairman
Raith Rovers Football Club "

Strong stuff but what do they expect the footballing authorities to do to 'defuse the current mayhem' ?

Could start by fining Fat Sally for bringing the game into disrepute, and telling him to shut his gob forthwith.

Have the balls to stand up to them and let them know intimidation doesn't work.

Amateurs! They forgot about no further SPL sanctions next season and the removal of all punishments unfairly meted out this week.

The credibility of the SFA/SPL is hanging by a thread on the whole RFC fiasco and if they fail to take some action against Sally McWattie Junior (have you noticed how he dresses on matchdays?) then the'll just give the other thug Lennon grounds for appeal against the three charges just launched against him!:cb

Scottish football can survive without the Old Firm first teams. It will mean other clubs have a chance to be successful.

No to be fair it was a Euro 'also rans' league that Walter had in mind.

Of course they will defend their club in whatever ways they can.

It just remains to see how the SFA stand up to the pressure, which will be intense and unrelenting.

I don't envy their task.

And their walls :greengrin

Just got this sent to me.

The BBC have scrapped plans for Ally McCoist to return to Question of Sport after he demanded to know the identity of every Mystery guest. :greengrin:faf:

We can survive without RANTIC but without the huns we're stuffed, makes sense in a clutching at straws defence.

Alex Salmond's been awfy quiet eh.....strange he doesn't interfere to condemn acts of threats and intimidation, yet is bang in front of the camera supporting this horrible football club's existence in 'Scottish society!'.

Not a thing mentioned about the SPL, the SFA or diddy clubs putting the boot in. Funny that. Guess who will get the blame regardless though.

:agree:

Spot on. on Talksport news bulletins today the SFA sanctions were blamed for the collapse of a deal. Most news stories ( BBC etc. ) blame the SFA. But no mention in the whole of the Ticketus spokesman's release.
There's such a blatant (un)hidden agenda here it's shocking!

I am sorry but i absolutely pished myself laughing when i seen this thread, RFC's money problems are nearly over. What a hoot that message board is.

Just heard the point I expected to have heard all week about the composition of the panel i.e. "we need football people to make this decision". Yes, has been players and coaches are far more likely to arrive at fair and equitable punishment, than threebindependent and respected professionals. Billy Dodds has done us all a favour in highlighting the lack of sense of most of our media.:flag:

Never made any money undestimating the IQ of your average Hun

So now we have Ticketas having left the bidding process..

Now the Skint - gie us the £500k deposit Ticketas - Knights and Brian - don't want to be involved in a consortium - Kennedy are getting together...and all the problems are solved ...so long as a CVA and Whytes shares can be aquired.....:faf:

Oh wait a minute the Yank asset stripper is still up for picking the carcass :greengrin

I notice some people are billboarding the OF game this Sunday as the last one ever. I wonder if the Rangers fans will boycott it. You would think they would.

Thank **** for that, thought my council tax was gonna go up over this debt. :aok:

It's a great idea...the more of the small debt that is paid off guarantees HMRC have the biggest shout in a CVA...well done the True Blue Rangers fans.

:aok:

It would appear to be obvious now from what is appearing on messageboards Twitter etc that the sizeable moronic element in the rangers support are actually the true identity of the club.

There can be no doubt that the management at rangers, such as it is, in a calculated and cynical way insisted on the members of the SFA panel being 'outed' as it were in order to intimidate and frighten anybody who might have been thinking of getting involved in further judgement against the club.

The are like the Nazi party in the 30s inciting hatred but trying to distance themselves from the result of their rantings, blaming anybody but themselves for the terrible results of their ravings.

In the whole of this mess rangers football club and their apologists, Smith, Hately, Jardine et al have never, not once shown any remorse or regret at the affect their greed and dishonesty has had on the likes of Dundee Utd, Dunfermline The Yams other clubs and small businesses ........ We are Rangers .... We dont do humility !!!

Why dont they just Die ................... Please !!!

Sorry Bovril - You are accused of invoking Godwins Law (on the plus side, you can appeal to an independant tribunal of which I will supply the names for you to threaten) :greengrin
