Seriously?Quote:

Thinking about the plot...... Mr Whyte takes them to the brink then a Mr Green apparently rides in to the rescue (Fans of Rankgers take note re: the Green & Whyte connection).Quote:

How else can it end? Newco leave Scotland altogether courtesy of their new benefactors from all over the world and enter the lower leagues in Engerland?
The Newco buys Stain Mirren just to please Chuk Young?
Other options below please!
i dont post on this thread as im less knowledgable on the subject than most of the wonderful authors who have made this such a readable and informative journey into the dark underbelly of the inner sanctum at ibrox...may i say, if this is a book, which it could be, and it's coming to an end, which hopefully it isn't, i am setting up a councilling service for readers whose lives will now be empty without their daily dose of possibly the most entertaining thread of all time...gentlemen, a sequel from tynecastle may be on the horizon in the not too distant future but i hope you can keep me amused for a few more weeks with the closing passages of this particular story.
'if you only read one thread this year make sure it's this one'
Fat Freddy has a point... What do we do after this?!
Well depending on how benignly and sheepishly the SPL and SFA react to the Houdiniesque upturn in the prospects of the cheating barstewards, maybe a concerted campaign by fans of all other clubs to unite and show the 'blazers' that their financial 'priorities before sporting integrity' will not be tolerated. Before the events of the weekend, plenty threats of boycotts and reprisals were being banded about but I wonder if, since everyone really thought Rangers were heading for serious oblivion, this will die a death in the inactivity of the close season. I know that a lot is still to happen in this saga but the cynic in me fears they will emerge from it, humiliated and battered, but relatively unscathed in real footballing terms.Quote:

In a thread about a CVA over there they seem to think it's all plain sailing now.Quote:

The attitude of 'we're getting out of this relatively unscathed' stinks. I would liken it to a convicted rapist asking how little the victim would accept for her trouble.:rolleyes:
And just like in The Empire Strikes Back, there was no Death Star, or "Big Hoose".Quote:

They are not going to get a CVA, and Green knows this. His argument that a CVA would be 'logical' because in liquidation the creditors would get 'nothing' doesn't stand up to scrutiny in any way, and I don't think threats/blackmail will play very well with Hector. It's just bluster to keep the idiotic huns (i.e. 98% of them) on side while he works out how he's going to make a newco pay.Quote:

There is next to no chance that their appeal to the SFA will succeed. The appeal panel is chaired by a famously tough judge and is independent of the goons at the SFA.
There is next to no chance the forced transfer of player contracts to the NewClub will succeed. They are relying on the players and their agents turning down bumper pay days for the good of the Rainjurs. Good luck with that!
Sadly there is every chance the Scottish football "authorities" will roll over and write whatever new rule books they need to let NewClub back in at the top tier of the game but given all the above they are well ****** anyway.
My prediction is the Hun NewClub will choose to start its life in Div 3 because they will have no stomach to stay in the SPL knowing they're in for a struggle.
And the final bit of good news: there isn't much serious money behind this bid. 20 odd investors to total less than £10M? What self respecting mega-rich egomaniac is going to splash the cash but share the limelight around like that. Even in their best case scenario, the Huns have some serious financial realities to face up to.
Meanwhile, some Yank nails it.

“It’s possible the team could be liquidated. And it’s more than possible this is a great thing.
“Rangers and Celtic have dominated the Scottish Professional League forever but their bitter, sectarian-based rivalry has helped to undermine them.
“Their vile and violent fans are everything that’s wrong with football.
“If Rangers were to fold, some of the religious hatred could be drained and perhaps new rivalries might develop in the SPL.”

The Scotsman doesn't seem to care much for anything other than its own, fingers in its ears pro Labour agenda. Presumably they've decided going pro Rangers helps with this...Quote:

Something's not quite right :hmmm:
Taken from Paul McConville's blog
Bearing in mind that Mr Green has said he has only ever met Mr Whyte three times (and I hasten to say I am not doubting him when he does so), that might have been through bad luck as they move, or seem to have moved, in similar circles.
From an article in The Sun today
And he also took time to scotch rumours both he and Whyte had worked together on a previous deal, declaring they had NEVER met before their hush-hush talks began.
Anyone know where a copy of the SFA report released last week can be found online?
