    Obviously I'm speaking without the benefit of a crystal ball, but I would be amazed if The Rangers had anything even remotely like an insolvency event this season, or any season going forward, and no amount of ramblings from clearly biased bloggers will change my mind on that.

    If we want to win the league, we'll have to do it the usual way- get more points than the rest of the league. There's zero chance (IMHO) of us benefiting from a points deduction to The Rangers.

    I agree that it seems unlikely because we can't see who benefits but it is still possible. They need money put in before the end of the season and whoever puts it in is unlikely to see it again. Something will have to give soon.

    I agree with matty_f about the integrity of these anti-Sevco bloggers and also that Sevco will have any significant financial problems. We talk scathingly about King and his cronies but nobody really knows anything about their financial clout. Their on-field progress is unfortunately well underway and I have no doubts that any financial hurdles will be cleared as and when they occur, by whichever individuals and groups have their club at heart.

    Whilst we all know it is a non starter, it would be nice to think a big club would come along and cherry pick one of their assets.

    Been having a look a the great Warbo's business empire outwith football. Mark Howard Warburton is full name.

    All available free with Companies house BETA service.

    Director and member of 5 companies and LLP's, 4 struck off and remaining one awaiting compulsory strikeoff. One had £ 5 million owed to one of its other directors.

    The family house in Potters Bar is noted too, nice enough, but not what you would expect a high flying City trader to retire to.

    As Oz says, Level 5 earn their money .

    All it would take for Warburton to "enter the race" is for someone to stick some cash on him at a bookies. Hell, one of us could stick some cash on Calderwood and before you know it, he'd be linked, too.

    Do you mean that JJ is sailing close to the wind?

    If so, absolutely. It reads like a statement from the prosecution.

    Yup, when I checked this morning Warburton was 100/1 for the Liverpool job. The same as Pat Fenlon!

    Hilarious that he's talking himself up for the Liverpool job!

    Hey, this guy who won Bundesliga twice and got to CL Final seems interested, but then we heard about a bloke who's managed in the 2nd tier in both England AND Scotland! Sign him up!

    John James also mentioned this escrow account. Whilst I understand what it means. ......it's not a term that is normally used in the UK. It's an American term.

    Edit. It seems that HMRC use it in certain circumstances. Maybe I'm just not used to dodgy clients :)

    Indisputable facts are by October last season Rangers received £ 3.1 million from a share issue and £ 2 million from Ashley in a loan.

    Then had to ask for another £ 1 million in November .

    They will need extra cash sometime soon.

    Because he's been hinting at impending financial crisis for months, and in the absense of anything happening he's still doing the same - with the same oh so familiar pops at the MSM for good measure.

    Clearly, not all is rosy at The Rangers. Money might well be quite tight and the Lying King certainly doesn't seem to have backed his big words with big cash. But it doesn't necessarily mean administration is on the cards.

    Mike Ashley might enjoy seeing them squirm, but I imagine he also wants to see them promoted this season.

    He doesn't say admin is on the cards, just that they are running out of cash.
    Admin can be prevented by someone putting in a big chunk of cash.
    Do you think Mike Ashley will put up the dough?

    He might need his money back to get shot of Steve McLaren.

    I think that Whyte and Green case has been moved to the High Court in Edinburgh.

    If rangers can't prove 18 months liquidity, how the are able to keep their licence? The more I read the more fraudulent it appears re our footballing authorities. Action must be taken as this cannot continue. Fit and proper? My big fat ass!
