What's the point of having a press conference about what you were going to do, but decided against?

Its PR...make sure you don't get blamed...and stay at the front of the popularity queue so when someone pushes the liquidiser button...they can pick up the remains without being accused of being asset strippers (playing the we always wanted to save then card)

Movie special tonight on RangersTV: "Quantum of Solace". That should cheer up the puir wee lambs.

[HFC 0-7]

So where is this saga now? Who is still in the running? I am sure Sky said earlier D&P said they would be announcing a preferred bidder by the end of today, does that look likely with this Greene character?

Kennedy echoed Murray's warning shot, saying: "The
administrators better have somebody good, some
good credible consortium who is fully funded. "This is not about us owning Rangers Football Club.
It's about Rangers Football Club surviving."

[down-the-slope]

I am going to Defend D&P here while their tenure as Administrators has hardly been perfect in many ways...The BK's demanding that they better have a great bidder by the week end is a bit OTT if all that is out there is chancers / fantasists / PR hungry time wasters / assets strippers looking for a cheap meal etc.......

Effectively they are reduced to salesmen trying to sell a Turd..a really big Turd...one that smells worse with each passing day....trying to convince people said Turd with look and smell lovely if only........

The point is though, if you find a turd then you bury it straight away. All that Duff and Duffer have done is to introduce us to an endless queue of people who spout turd.

And for D&P it's not (primarily) about RFC surviving, it's about getting the best return for the creditors.

Kennedy/TBK's plan has always been about holding back as much as possible from the creditors to try and continue to field a competitive Huns in the SPL next season.

We're back to where we were last week, with the Green Knights in the place of Wild Bill. No reason to suggest it's going to go any differently this time.

Green and Whyte bid for Rangers (if its them he has agreed to sell shares to) that will be comedy gold even without the dubious history Green has

[Moulin Yarns]

Whyte,Green, all we need now is Lex Gold and we are laughing.

You canny polish a turd right enough, but you can roll it in glitter. Murray and his mate have been glittering for weeks and weeks now...

Spectacularly missing the point that, in theory at least, Dumb and Duffer must take the best deal for the creditors, if someone rocked up tomorrow and offered £25 million with a dream of bulldozing Ibrox and building a shrine to the Pope over the top of it, they'd have to accept it.

That the 'Knights' have a whose who of ex Gers (ignoring certainly Smiths extensive involvement in the club during the years of rank cheating of course) is an irrelevance, their nonsensical press conference seems to be a mix of insuring Murray can forever claim he'd have done a better job, and trying to incite the mutters into forcing D&P's hand.

The SFA report is so damning it seems pretty unlikely the appeal will succeed. The big John's knew and did nothing. How will Chico and the succulent lamb brigade portray this? Off to listen to sportsound.

You have to laugh Brian Kennedy has been wasting everyones time from the start.

His comment clearly infers his bid was not good and was not fully funded, what a tool.

As for "It's about Rangers Football Club surviving"...yet again the point has been missed. Administration is about getting the best deal for the creditors, that MAY involve saving the club but it might not...

Rather bizzare to have a press conference to effectively have a go at everyone else when in fact their bid was p*sh, they were never seriously in with a chance and have therefore done nothing but muddy the waters and delay the whole process.

Can't see the planners and Historic Scotland going for that option realistically!

Maybe I'm missing the point here but is this not simply a case of "risk assessment" by the Administrators in respect of each respective bidder and the likelihood of their respective bids being capable of being delivered without the fairly commonplace "last minute chips"!

At the end of the day, who is most correct in that aspect of the bid(s) assessment will be known in due course and taking account of the time constraints being mentioned here and there will be part of that risk assessment I imagine!

Certainly a bit of brinksmanship posturing evident from the section of BK's interview on Sky Sports that I saw around 6pm in seeking to pressurise the Administrators into an earlier decision than perhaps they would consider appropriate in the circumstances?!
