http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18236955 Rangers administrators Duff & Phelps have issued an offer to creditors for a company voluntary arrangement. Crucially, the CVA document does not list a "pence in the pound" offer to creditors, which is the norm for a proposal of it's kind.

milne's response to potential fan boycott = asset stripping?

fifa can threaten 'us' with that if rangers aren't punished (as with Switzerland). I don't know if I'd be calling for that if we were good enough to qualify but I hope so. This is a disgrace no doubt, but the bigger disgrace will be if the governing bodies let rangers off the hook. And that will be the whole of scottish football that deserves punishment.

who does levein have photos of, and of what sordid sexual misadventure?

They'll rue the day I tells ya. Scottish football needs Darlington!!1one!

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Am sure I saw the summer holiday thread the other day but now canna fin it. So, going to book a few days away in the last week of June, wondered where you all suggest for cheapish last minute? Not averse to going same place twice but ideally somewhere other than Krakow, Prague, Ljubljana, Vienna, Stockholm, Budapest, Zagreb, Bratislava.

pass the sick bag

But we'd have had to already have beaten them 5 times in total for our tally to increase by just 3 pts

how do all the 3-0 walkovers chage Afc 61pts to 64pts and Hibs 61pts to 63pts?

Ross County DoF is also on that list of EBT's, so we know what way they'd be voting Duff and Phelps, administrators of Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement tonight. Paul Clark, joint administrator, said: "The use of EBTs at Rangers goes back many years and was a matter of public record in the annual accounts. Our primary focus has been ensuring the survival of Rangers Football Club and attracting a new buyer for the business as well as investigating the financial situation at the Club since the takeover in May 2011. We and the Club will continue to give every assistance to the football authorities on issues affecting the Club. It should, however, be noted that the First Tier Tax tribunal has yet to publish its findings in relation to the use of EBTs."

Beat me to it. It's more than just a contradiction in terms, it demonstrates explicitly what we already know - that a 'newco' is just a sham (clear fraud) to keep the same entity in existence. What really pisses me off is the notion that whatever is needed to keep sponsorship in the league HAS to be rangers. If we're talking a newco to make Scottish football more interesting then surely Third Lanark have as much right to 'retain' their place in the league? Course not, because no one outside Scotland has a clue who they were. The whole thing is being marketed in terms of what the NON-Scottish public supposedly want.

Fulham and Manchester United have a higher combined debt (£501mil) than the entire Bundesliga (£479mil). Flip sake!

yes, but transfer fee....

gets my vote

Guardian hack Lawrence Donegan on twitter: BBC doc on Rangers in 2 days.hear it has chapter&verse on EBTs- names, contracts, amounts. apparently, scale of ebt (ab)use is "eye-popping" also told BBC had access to "treasure trove" of documents - far greater than anything seen by SPL inquiry in Rangers.

Next season. He was only reaching fitness at the time of the semi, and that was the season over.

Eoin Jess wants to be Aberdeen FC manager By Charlie Allan Published: 21/05/2012 ABERDEEN FC legend Eoin Jess today admitted he is determined to prove he can hack it as a manager at the highest level. Jess confessed that eventually taking over as boss of Aberdeen FC “would be a dream”. And he has taken a brave step in pursuit of that dream by walking away from the secure job he had as a youth coach with Nottingham Forest.

People always say that the big 4 nations having so many teams qualifying makes the tournament more exciting, but for me this year backs up the argument that they shouldn't have so many. It certainly wasn't an exciting final. And for the tournament over all I can't see how it'd have been less interesting to watch if more small countries had an automatic spot. At the moment the rich are just getting richer and entertainment is fairly sparse. Fair play to Chelski for overcoming the odds. Napoli, Benfica, Barca and Bayern all outplayed them but somehow couldn't beat them. Terry getting on the pitch all kitted up was the most pathetic thing I've seen in a long time. Quite funny that they stood in front of him when he lifted the trophy so he was hidden from view.

Chelsea are going to win this on pens. I hate hearts, west ham and chelsea. What a cunt of a way to end a cunt of a season.

Dire game so far. Just realised it's ten years since the Hampden final. TEN YEARS?!?!

Can't ever hate hibs as much as hearts.
