was a great game. Will split fixtures be announced this week then if Killie don't win or Hertz don't drop points, as the top/bottom 6 will be confirmed?

Regarding Burley, the feelings mutual on this side, don't take it personal

Well apart from saying Laugherty was coming out with his usual dribble and is an embarrassment, which I couldn't help agreeing with

it was another normal day at the office for Burley

Just his general demeanour - and i agree it's not just a Rangers thing - he seems to relish any opportunity to have a go at a player, and keep having a go at said player. He done it with Papac, Edu and Lafferty today.
He comes across as a guy who is dissapointed with his own career in football, and is very bitter about it.

Oh I think we all know that. It was only a few weks ago I was delighted that Lennon hit back at him in a post match press conference over the **** he was spewing during the 1-1 aberdeen match (i think it was that match)

I'd agree, he's a very bitter man, loves to put down others when the opportunity arises

Jelle1880 · 31-03-2012 3:26pm

Great performance today

Jelle1880 · 02-04-2012 11:53am

Pretty sad that Joe O'Rourke's comments haven't been highlighted in the main press yet.

Compare to Donald Findlay.

lubo_moravcik · 02-04-2012 3:53pm

Hope the lad pulls through this

So proud of our 18 year old son Nicholas, who is bravely fighting a battle against a rare Brain Tumour.

A Brain Tumour which has, for the moment, prevented Nicholas from pursuing his football Career-something he's worked his whole life for.

We are trying to raise money, just to give something back to the charity which has helped us through our journey and hopefully it will help others in the future.

A donation is a donation, how ever small. Give what you can afford.

Thanks for taking the time to look at our justgiving page.

MYSTERY GROUP FAVOURITES TO WIN GERS TAKEOVER FIGHT

Club 9 Sports are said by administrator David Whitehouse to be backed by “substantial resources”

Wednesday April 4,2012
By Andy McInnes
AN Anglo-American consortium last night emerged as favourites to land Rangers.
The syndicate is represented by Chicago-based Club 9 Sports and are said by administrator David Whitehouse to be backed by “substantial resources”.

The group of wealthy mystery investors from the US and UK have leapt ahead of Paul Murray’s Blue Knights consortium, whose proposal was described as having “logic” but not matching up “economically or arithmetically”.

Both bids will, however, be considered tonight after the latest deadline for a possible takeover.

They will be examined along with two others from a Singapore-based syndicate and a London group of financiers.

A fifth is also expected from Edinburgh-born businessman Brian Kennedy, who had pulled out of the race last week.
Club 9 Sports confirmed last night they themselves would not be bidding for control of the club, but were acting as a member of a consortium. A statement on their website said: “Representatives of Club 9 Sports have been involved with investigating, analysing and considering a potential purchase of Rangers Football Club on behalf of a group of interested parties from the US and UK.
We can also confirm we have not met, spoken to or otherwise been associated with Craig Whyte
A statement by Club 9 Sports

“However, at no time has Club 9 Sports itself offered a bid to acquire the club. Our role has been as a member of a proposed consortium.

“We can also confirm we have not met, spoken to or otherwise been associated with Craig Whyte in any way.

“We understand that it has been strongly rumoured that our group planned to ‘liquidate’ the club.

“It should be made clear that any party that attempts to acquire the club, eliminate the debts, affect a turnaround, invest monies and put the club back on solid ground is in fact ‘saving’ the club from liquidation and preserving its past and its future.”

After 48 hours of talks with potential buyers, Whitehouse is confident a new owner will be in place to take over just after Easter.

“Our aim is to give one or other group preferred status position on the basis of what they are offering is deliverable, commercially viable and having the best chance of being acceptable to the creditors including HMRC,” he explained.

“The offer from America provides very attractive levels of investment as indeed does one other. The US group have demonstrated to us they have substantial resources and are respected businessmen in the United States.”

Whitehouse revealed a “large gap” existed between Blue Knights’ bid and others. “Their economics are not right, their arithmetic is not right, but there is logic and a value in their proposals as the deal with Ticketus would mean they would no longer be a major creditor,” he said.

Dundee United to receive cup payment
Wednesday, 04 April 2012

The Scottish FA has notified Dundee United that they will this week receive £35,000 of the outstanding money from their William Hill Scottish Cup tie against Rangers in February.
This money will help meet part of the overdue payable to the club and has been offset from broadcasting revenue from the competition that, under normal circumstances, would have been distributed to Rangers.
The Scottish FA has informed both clubs.

Jelle1880 · 04-04-2012 2:19pm

Club9 seem to have pulled out.

Thought they just said that they themselves werent buying Rangers but were part of a consortium?

Jelle1880 · 04-04-2012 2:34pm

Correct, but their chairman (Jon Pritchett) yesterday replied to a mail from the RST:

Thank you for your e-mail and introduction. We have purposely avoided any public comments until today because we didn't see the benefit in talking until we knew more about where we were internally. At an early stage, there really is not much value in public statements.

Unfortunately, that did not keep people from talking about us. We read with some humor many of the stories, opinions and rumors about Club 9 Sports. Some of it was accurate; much of it was fictional or factually incorrect. Regardless, as you may have seen, we were never going to bid on the club ourselves. We were working with a group of people in the US and UK for a few weeks to take a hard look at the deal but that group decided not to move forward.

I just wanted to thank you for reaching out and to say that any smart owner (no matter which side of the pond) will most certainly want work with your group and others to ensure the fans, supporters and followers are an integral part of the plans for Rangers. After all, they are the most important asset of the club.

Warm regards,

Jon

Bears, if the club is liquidated, will you be fully behind a 'newco'?

How do you think it'll play out BBE?

Any ideas on who you think will be the new owners?

Can't find tickets for sale anywhere on the site? Anyone think it will sell out? If not I'll buy a ticket but probably wont get over to Scotland on a weekday.

Jelle1880 · 05-04-2012 3:46pm

Not available yet, since the game will be in the summer I think (Me thinks HSV have other things on their mind as well).

To be fair I have no idea who the new owners will be but its reckoned HMRC have agreed in principal a settlement if they have it will help stave off liquidation big time the next couple of weeks should tell the story though

Yeah it will all come to a head in the next few weeks.

The administrators report released today detailing the creditors makes interesting reading to say the least

Eirebear · 07-04-2012 7:34pm

I didnt see the game today, but a good result it seems - even with all the penalty madness.

It would have been easy for the heads to go down today again after the Celtic result, but it's nice to see that Ally has the team playing well again and hopefully we can end the season without too big a hit to players confidence.
A clean record, including a win at Parkhead would be nice from here on in.

Jelle1880 · 07-04-2012 8:23pm

I saw the game and it was definitely a good performance by the team.

On another note: There was an action where fans held up red cards to say No to any party interested in buying Rangers and going for the liquidation process.

Even people in the Director's Box did it:

As they have done for other Scottish teams in similar situations? By the way who or what are the 'establishment' that will be working on this at the moment? Who will be doing what exactly?

Oh for Gods sake he is winding you up there is no establishment.

As for how things will unfold if we don't become a newco. Creditors will agree to accept so much in the pound against the debts the club owe it could be as little as 20p in the pound. This includes any money owed to the tax man.
Its simple really it comes down to whether the creditors want a little bit of the pie or none at all is this fair well its a common business practice and yes any of the clubs in Scotland that have went into admin have went down this path.
For the moment no one knows whats going to happen only that the BK will go down the CVA route if they can and Bill Miller the American bidder has said this is also his preferred option.

But were Murray Park and Ibrox not just valued by the Administrators at £109m so therefore creditors will get FAR more back through liquidation than through a CVA?

Maybe so but The Training complex has to be used for something similar ie a developer can't throw houses up on it this is due to the lease terms
As for Ibrox when was the last time you were there Bobby the surrounding area is a ****hole and anyone attempting to purchase and put planning permission in has been told no also the front of Ibrox is listed so it can't be knocked down or changed

so do you think the administrators value is inflated?

If so why would the people who claim to want to avoid liquidation make it look like the most viable solution?

remember these are whytes guys, serious cloaks and daggers stuff going to happen in govan me thinks

Jelle1880 · 09-04-2012 11:09am

If they were Whyte's guys do you think the court would have approved it ?

Some Rangers fans also claim that they're in league with Whyte, but I can't see it.

Here we have one of Britain's biggest firms, handling a case where the entire Scottish (and possibly British) media and legal people are watching and they would risk jail time to help Whyte ?
