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

It would appear that Miller has walked away!

Oh well, what a shame.

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

You know. despite everything this could turn out to be my favorite ever football season.:top marks
If these so called administrators dredge up more bidders, surely they can be removed for incompetence and lacking any credibility?

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

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

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

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. :wink:

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. :greengrin

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!

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)?

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
