Madbadteacher Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Typical rich yank....with no clue of how football actually works. "I got money I can do what the fuck I like and you can't stop me" Fuck it, next suggestion will be move rfc to some US city without a "sport franchise", demand to stay in the SPL, recruit lots of backers for this quaint "sacca" thing (lot cheaper than NFL, NHL, MBA, MLB etc......) and we can look forward to the El Paso ranjurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It sounds like he thinks he can hide the assets in a shell company then leave Duff and Phelps to sort out the debts of Rangers Plc then once that's done buy back Rangers Plc and move the assets back to them. But he can't be doing that as that would be illegal. This and his get out of jail free in the minds of the knuckle draggers, with his ludicrous demands of the SPL and his unwillingness to secure the preferred bidder status surely suggests he's just another Shyster on some kind of ego trip.

glasgow sheep Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 This is all madness. £11M to buy all the assets, pay of Whyte, re-sign all the players and get a CVA, are people really buying this? Nobody has enough to buy Rangers or even their assets. Currently none of the offers seem to even be in a position to create a meaningful newco never mind "save" Rangers as is. The Huns support should be getting their arses in gear and forming a new club themselves, seems the current one isn't going to be around much longer. Duff and Phelps have strung it out as long as they can but they must be in a position where selling off the assets is the only option left.

maverick sheep Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 BBC 5live's man at Ibrox (missed who it was) just mentioned Miller's demands to take over the club with no footballing penalties imposed from the league. His words: "Having spoken to people at the SPL today, that is not beyond the realms of possibility." If so, game over folks. No more money from me will be going into that den of corruption called Scottish football. edit - obviously I didn't mean to say xbrox, since the game's at diet ibrox!

How many stories about imminent takeovers and deals being struck have we had in the last 2 months? This is more bullshit. This yank's deal isn't feasible even with a guarantee of no penalties (apart from anything he won't get that guarantee in time to strike a deal).

glasgow sheep Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 1. A chance to set more new records - first team in history to get straight promotion as Champions of each division in Scotland in successive seasons. We could have that cake and perhaps get to eat it, too, should we then win the SPL on the first season of our return. 2. A chance for me and many others to return to away games. 3. A chance to provide much needed and direct financial assistance to the SFL. 4. A chance to slaughter the clubs working against us right now in a financial sense. No Sky/ESPN deals worth talking about without games vs them. A collapse of some current SPL sponsor deals and a dearth of new ones. Millions of pounds removed from said clubs in away-day ticket sales. Mind you - perhaps they think Thistle or Falkirk will be just as lucrative. They'l get an answer shortly when Ross County visit. So, many millions of revenue lost to the current SPL - enough to push some of our enemies over the financial precipice - how I would laugh. 5. A chance to do our own TV and sponsorship deals in the SFL. What a riddy that would be for the SPL clubs if such deals were of greater value than their own. 6. A chance - a real chance - for a division 3 side to win the Scottish cup. 7. A chance to build The Rangers into something dearer and more valuable to the support than it already is. Rangers would get 35-40k home fans easy i believe in div 3 thats if the so called real fans stick with us, we wont get our talent cherry picked cause we could still pay decent wages, and they also know we would be back at the top in under 4 yrs sone aluko never got picked up are people saying with the right scouts we wont get more like him, we would still be a better option to play for than some of the shite in scotland dont think so little of your teams appeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ongoing obstacles apply to both deals and neither of the bidders were ready to commit to an unconditional offer without receiving clarification from, among others, the Scottish Football Association and Scottish Premier League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17811695 Rangers' administrators say they have yet to receive an offer for the club that will enable them to name a preferred bidder. Paul Murray's Blue Knights aim to agree a deal with Ticketus and Bill Miller is seeking clarification on potential SPL sanctions. Murray's group, with Ticketus as partner, had been working towards preferred bidder status. Duff & Phelps said neither party had made an offer "capable of acceptance". Surely the plug needs to be pulled on the club soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as he has already been quoted as saying that the SFA can't force him to pay the fines they have just levied, I wonder what will happen...............

Kowalski Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The club are bracing themselves for further, possibly severe sanctions when the SPL meet next Monday. The hammer blow came after a financial expert warned that Rangers had just two days left to save their future. Top accountant Neil Patey said that time to set up the preferred option to keep the club solvent – a Company Voluntary Agreement – is fast running out. Any CVA requires at least five weeks to run its course. But if Rangers’ ownership and a creditors’ deal are not resolved by June 1, the club will once again be facing losses of up to £1million a month when the deal by players to accept a temporary 75 per cent pay cut runs out. Add to that the administrators’ fees – which by yesterday had reached more than £1.6million – and the financial picture grows ever bleaker. Patey, of Ernst and Young, said failure to strike a deal by Thursday could lead to: ?“Non-liquidation” buyers walking away because of the extra debts. ? Top stars being axed if they insist on wages being hiked back to previous levels. ? Four months of further administration. ? Millions more in fees to administrators. Patey also warned of the difficulty Whyte could pose if he decides not to hand over his shareholding without a fight. Patey warned: “I think it’s days and not weeks, as the June 1 deadline is quite important. “The club will then be in the close season and there will be little income coming in. And, importantly, the players’ wages, which were at a reduced level, will defer back to full wages. “That takes them back close to the £10million per annum operating loss that was stated when they went into administration. Rangers fans’ spokesman John Macmillan said most fans were frustrated at the way the sale was being drawn out. He said: “If the red tape means that June will bring further debt issues then I suggest that everyone involved gets the finger out.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
