SPL press conference expected shortly.

Is that a bell I hear tolling?

Although today there will be more than 4 horsemen at Hampden to decide their fate. All 10 of the SPL non OF clubs need to stand together now.

I believe that Conquest, War, Famine and DEATH won't be joined by the Huns favourite horseman, Orange, as the SPL decide/agree on future Financial Fair Play regulations and penalties for any club going into Liquidation/Administration.

A question for Warrington and Cheshire, did Neil Doncaster say the survey results would be on the table at the meeting today?

Stuart Bathgate seems to think that when it comes to the crunch, some clubs will side with Rangers. HERE

SPL meeting postponed 'til May

Clubs apparently wanted more clarity?

Does that mean they are waiting to see if Rangers die or not?

Probably not keen on the inevitable death threats that come with upsetting Ra Peepul - dancing to Huns tune.

Hampden meeting adjourned till May. IMO a good move. Re-convene when the Huns are dead.

[PaulSmith]

No shock. Not a pair of balls between any of them.

I am guessing that as TBK keep upping their offer by ridiculous amount (bottle o ginger and a pack ay crisps) that very soon the only bid that is going to be viable will be Bill Miller. He has said that he will only do it if there is no further sanctions, so with this running on it could put his bid in jeoprady?

........or has Bill Miller got his deal?


We are about to see our 'authorities' roll over and get their tummies tickled.

Monday May 14 is Liquidation day.

Two weeks and counting......

Hun reaction -

Instead of making a decision, they have shat it . Self interest is evident and could hopefully speed the process of a blue knights bid.

"SPL ****ting themselves, they now realize the financial power of our fans "

"Chairmen ****ting it in case they are in this scenario should we choose the Div 3 route?"

"Quite clear from Doncaster's comment that they desperately don't want to lose us from the league IMHO."

"Think they've shat it to be honest, especially after the SFA ruling. Push us too far and we head to Div 3 and leave them to die."

"they have bottled it pure and simple time to increase the pressure!!"

"Petrie wanted the meeting cancelled until they find out the outcome of our club. Bottlers"

Bottom line for me is it's a cop-out.

[PaulSmith]

Has McCoist demanded to know why this has been delayed yet. Is this another nail in the coffin, has Sandy Jardine pledged to take sanctions yet...
Questions questions questions

[Leithenhibby]

The fact remains that Der Huns are in a position that does not look good and the SPL have, and in my view, done the right thing. They (spl) don't have all facts available to them and in any business or court for that matter, it has been adjourned...

Too many "if's but's & mibbies" for them to make an honest opinion, and I feel that was the right call

Let D&P decide where to go now, what option to take, lets be honest they have taken their time up till now

Your move D&P ......

Brian McNally ‏ @McNallyMirror

Some very good sources indicating the wheels of #Rangers liquidation are in motion & a statement may not be too far away.

please let this be true.....

D&P even saying the other day that BK bid LESS than liquidation would produce for4 creditors....remember at some point they have to answer to the courts on hoiw they have served the creditors...

[green glory]

I'm hearing 11 clubs agreed to the proposed changes. 1 asked for an adjournment, to which all the others agreed. Apparently not 'The Ranjurs' though.

May they rust in peace.

wonder if The Tache would do that ...could be to see where we are heading after next couple of games...or could be knowing that D&P need certainty to get a sale done...uncertainty makes things worse for them

Tend to agree with that. Hopefully the BTC verdict will be in soon. If the Huns are found guilty of 10 years' worth of annual multi million pound cheating I think the mood will turn decisively against them.

From my post below -

"Petrie wanted the meeting cancelled until they find out the outcome of our club. Bottlers"

OK it's just a quote from another fan's website but seems it could be true.

What facts do they need. They are agreeing future sanctions for ANY club forming a newco or being in administration. Delaying the event just allows Rangers to form a newco without these sanctions being in place. They have quite literally shat it.

Big time me thinks. We shall just have to hang tight for another day or two, maybe!

But you have to ask if making said rules when one of the member clubs is teetering on the brink is the correct environment to do so.

I would suggest that letting the Rangers fiasco play out and then sitting back down with the situaiton clarified and then laying down future rules makes a lot of sense. The fact is Rangers might not even exist to consider as a factor and that could only help in allowing the SPL to come to a clear and proper agreement that is not clouded by the immediate impact that would have on a member club.

And what facts do you have that "they shat it".

SiMar there are already mechanisms in place for transferring SPL share to a newco which is simply the 6 man SPL board backing it. What we are witnessing is this coming to fruition imo. No sanction, no fine, no points penalty, nada.

By the time the SPL make new rules the newco Rangers will be the wealthiest club in the country.

Apart from 100 odd years of them rolling over and taking it Leithen the viewpoint is entirely my opinion and not fact, yet.

I see from today's "Scotsman" that Brian Kennedy is number 16 in Scotland's "rich list" with a personal fortune of £250 million while our very own Sir Tom Farmer is at number 33 with a measly £136 million.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Collyer Bristow has spoken for the first time about how it will fight the claims that are threatening to drag the firm’s name through the muddy waters of a Scottish football administration.

http://www.thelawyer.com/collyer-bri...012373.article





Death threats
The firm says Withey was receiving death threats from irate Rangers *supporters and went to ground to shield his family from the worst of it. Suggestions that he fled prejudge his guilt, they say. They fear trial by press, feeding on scraps thrown from the administration process, which wants the same critics to see that it is doing a good job.

surely not death threats from the neanderthals

I'm not entirely sure, but they were e-mailed to all clubs and the coverage it had recently, especially if they read fans forums before the survey was even done should make them know how fans feel.

Wait and see, I suppose.
