So 21 days notice to remove the newco nonsense from the SPL board and back to the clubs. Why wasnt that notice given at or prior to the last meeting? Coveniently gets us past the end of the season now. I smell a dirty great big rat. Not happy at all.

I'm wondering what further information they need that hasn't been forthcoming in the last month. The resolutions don't appear to be overly complicated and they're about principles not specifically about Rangers or any other club. It feels to me like they're all playing for time and I suspect there's a lot of horse trading going on that will produce a bland compromise that nobody's going to be happy with.

Of course, if things go well tonight, the one man who has been unequivocal about relegating Rangers presumably won't be at the next meeting.

The outcome of the dual contract investigation. The big tax case would be nice too.

Also Wild Bill Pickups passport application might be through so he'll be able to make it to the meeting. Assuming he's come up with any money by then, which I doubt.

You are right CavG, but there would be a tailor-made opportunity for

Alasdair Lamont‏@BBCAlLamontCraig Whyte and Brian Kennedy have spoken about a transfer of CW shares in Rangers. Kennedy won't try to usurp Bill Miller's bid but nonetheless has been talking about procuring CW shares

I'm not so sure Rangers/ Miller can push this through as quick as they might like.

Let's hope not...

So he'd have a bunch of shares in a worthless company that the admins still have the power to transfer all the assets out of?

Seems... Unlikely.

That and legal clarification on application of their rules, definitions and relationship with SFA rules.

This covers what the Huns need to do.

Rangers & the Incubator – Part 3 - What Have Newco, SPL and SFA To Do? http://t.co/eApHM0ev

... looks like they're gonna be pushing it to get it sorted before their cash runs out (Duff & Duffer said at one point that would be next week!)

***stokesmessiah*** · 07-05-2012 05:24 PM

Did anyone see this? Why would Kennedy be trying to get the shares now?

In the event that Miller walks away (still likely in my view) he wants to be in pole position.

What makes you so sure that Miller will walk?

He would be hoping for a positive outcome from today's meeting.

That did not happen.

Tense nervous headache time follows for the next 21 days.

Can he handle it??

And what about the appeal against the SFA sanctions i thought they were expecting an outcome for that last week?

Its an English Bank Holiday today, you don't expect them to miss their hols for the pittance they are being paid.

They don't get paid.

Anyone seen this? http://www.donssupporterstogether.co...ncial-reality/

Good on DST for coming out and making a formal statement on this. This should hopefully force AFC's hand in the vote!

Good on them.

**hibeesdude** · 07-05-2012 07:02 PM

just got this message from a killie supporter i know..

Spot on . He's an embarrassment to my Club.

If he does value Rangers TV pounds over sporting integrity and votes accordingly then I'll respect his position if he shows some consistency and goes the whole distance and proposes an SPL rule change - Not only should it be written into the rules that Govan United newco or Celtic can never be relegated, they should only ever be allowed to finish in the top 6 so the TV deal remains intact. Don't want to be leaving any loopholes or taking any chance that someone somewhere with an ounce of morality might look for merit to prevail over expediency.

Wait till the Rangers hordes invade Rugby Park or Easter Road next year. No chance of them feeling any sense that they had a narrow escape. It'll be full on Rangers supremacy whilst they waive tenners in our faces to remind us we can't do without their money.

He can stick the 4 season tickets I pay for up his arse

PS All the best for the Cup Final. Got a soft spot for the Hibees. You might have pumped us 5-1 in the League Cup Final but Sunshine on Leith that day was spine tingling

Let's make our views known by simply chanting the name of John Yorkston tonight.

Once we are 3 goals up and finished singing 'Cheer up Jimmy Jeffries' though !

Hope you're singing

***Jack*** · 07-05-2012 10:01 PM

There's been a good few seasons where a non OF club is running second or close to. I've often wondered why they should pick up so many yellow and red cards in the run in. Dodgy decisions thrown on for good measure.

Anyone saying this has been slapped down, sporting integrity and all that, as the OF assume their rightful position.

What price a point?

Didn't Duf and Duffer advise him on the takeover

As many on this forum have prophesied it appears Buffalo Bill's bid for the Huns may well begin to unravel upon closer examination and the light of reality. If I was cynical I'd say the media in Scotland have been somewhat precipitate in their trumpeting of their favorites rescue.

Do tell us more!!!!

Last game v St Johnstone on Sunday. Beyond that no income. Just a case of ticking off the days as they bleed whiter and whiter.

I thought Sally McMoist's fat greetin' face was a delight to behold at the weekend.

Will probably need some man-sized tissues myself for the coming days.
