Nah.
Murray's other companies are in too much deep doo-doo to allow him to even contemplate that!

I have been trying to follow the Rangers recent financial woes but I am confused. As I understood it Whyte is now the major creditor, even though he appears to have paid off the bank (who were the biggest creditor) with season ticket "futures". If the tax bill comes in and they go into liquidation, the HMRC don't have first dibs- as one would assume- but Mr Whyte. In his position a less honourable man might welcome that outcome as now he could trouser any mullah that can be realised by sale of the assets i.e. Ibrox and environs, Murray Park etc. And since he paid nothing for the club and bought the debt with the clubs own future income, anything he gets is pure profit.
Administration, I would have thought, could scupper this perfect scam.
Where have I gone wrong here?
What does the typical hun think of David Murray?

Get talksport on by the way. Getting torn into rangers and hearts about the situation. Very good listen
Don't know why so many people are getting so excited by all this. The likes of Motherwell and Dundee have shown that administration means nothing and even with a 10 point deduction Rangers will still walk 2nd place. Forget administration, it's liquidation that we want.
Rangers current debts to the big guys:
HMRC - quoted now £75m
Ticketus - £20m
Craig Whyte - £18m
Over £100m, just hold that thought. £100m and Whyte is the only secured creditor.
If I'm reading this right then the CVA requires HMRC to agree a settlement of Xp in the £? Isn't the CVA wholy dependant on HMRC accepting this offer?
Highly likely and the SFA / League would no doubt be keen to accomodate the Hun surviving in some form or other.
Hopefully both bodies will recognise that the club that was Glasgow Rangers FC has voluntarily run itself down, and as such when they do emerge, with a nod and a wink and maybe even a pat on the back from the footballing establishment to help them along, the bodies that adminster Scottish Football will feel that all the honours won by the now defunct club pass with it and the new entity starts from year Zero - clean start eh?, the price of parking all that debt / shafting everyone they leave behind, including their very own Majesties Revenue and Customs.
Andy Gray on Talksport saying the league wont exist without Rangers or Celtic?? Thoughts.
Where are Celtic going?
And, that is rubbish, it will exist. A tv deal wouldn't be worth nearly as much but with most clubs having the chance to win the league attendances would go up for all other teams and the folk who support the bigots would need to find another team to support.
Pants. When we were in the 1st Div we reg got crowds if 9 to 10 thousand maybe a bit more. That's cos we were winning.Quote:

Exactly what it is. Whyte is using the administration process to say to HMRC 'negotiate a lower settlement with us, or risk getting nothing.'
The HMRC will probably challenge the administration process and insist on liquidation.
This will drag on, but it will put the Huns current creditors in a very difficult position. It should also deter (a la the Jambos) any sane party doing credit with the Huns.
