Agree9 Disagree4

Ok fine , but why do celtics bottle keep crashin , away and ask pep lennon that

Agree3 Disagree2

My my, why are you so upset that different parties are interested in saving Rangers?
Maybe your scorn helps you to deal with your own team and their under achievements??
When Celtic look back on this season and the last 3 years they should surely feel some amount of shame. They have won one league in four years against their rivals who are/were skint. They have bottled big game after big game, and to be brutally honest, if Rangers hadn't entered administration this season Celtic would not have won this seasons league either. You poured scorn on Strachan who was nearly as (if not more) successful than O'Neil. Then in steps Lennon who is an utter disgrace as a figurehead for your club and some of you think he the new messiah?? SORT OUT YOUR OWN MESS BEFORE POURING RIDICULE ON OURS.

I think Kennedy has planned this move all along and will be d&p's New no1 choice! I am happy about this cos think singapore and states would have led to liquidation despite all their positive claims! Kennedy looks although he could kick a few asses and sort out things in the best interests of all but particularly our club! I for one have fingers crossed, but can the other birders object legally?

Believable4 Unbelievable3

Guys it will cost between 5m and 14m for a CVA if accepted, that is not counting what Whyte wants and is dependent on the creditors accepting one including HMRC which is unlikely. Why is he pursuing this, does he know something we do not?

Things are about to get interesting ! I'm not surprised Kennedys back in the mix , and if you ask me we have just seen our preferred bidder, could he involve TBKs? Here we go lads , the wheels are finally moving !

Rangers team for next season.....

mcgregor

whittaker perry bocanegra wallace

mccabe

ness edu

naisy lafferty aluko

subs... alexander, darren cole, jig(cover cb/mf/st), hutton, fleck, mitchell, little.

Regardless of a new owner youth will be the way forward imo. if we can keep the experience like boca, whittaker, edu, naisy n lafferty n bring through the younger lads i don't think its a bad route to go down. no money will be available when a takeover happens imo. thoughts??

And if c.w sold the catering rights much did he make on that deal the more I think about this he has screwed us good and proper shut all income avenues(season tickets, catering,arsenal,and he has d&ps screwing us for him under our blue noses).

A football post! Stephen Fletcher has made it into Stuart Pearces team GB squad, I am all for players playing at the Olympics but how many other bears support it! Would also like to see Fletcher play after sticking up two fingers to the SFA.

Won't play for Scotland but will play for GB? If fletcher refuses to make peace an help fire us to our first finals in 14 years then I don't ever want to see him in the dark blue again! I'm holding hope for these next qualifiers ! Brazilia here I come !

The 5 stars has absolutely nothing to do with Europe. One star represents 10 DOMESTIC league championships, if a newco is formed, those stars will seize to be. Celtic could have 3 stars, though they prefer to have the one star that represents winning the European Cup (now called Champions League Winners Cup).

Jolly Green Giant

Believable5 Unbelievable6

Yes that's right you won the euro cup. Well done.
It's now that long ago it is next to the English National team's 1966 World Cup Final win as the most embarrasing claim to fame. Brought out in a wheelchair at every oppurtunity.
There are about half of your season ticket holders that wouldn't have been born and it's that old that they've changed the name in an effort to revamp it. You won 5 rounds 4 of which were home and away. Now you have pre-lims, group stage, last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final near 15 games compared to 8.
Let's see how far you go which will involve getting an away win which would be handy in the banana skin qualifier.

Agree3 Disagree4

4 stars surely...even I know that...but it's a mickey mouse league when your lot don't win it, innit?(which is quite often ,to be honest)We will not "seize" (cease!) to be, and we will still be the most successful domestic team in Scotland, even if Seltik win the treble for the next 5 years ...look it up, if you know the history!

Agree4 Disagree2

No matter what happens, no matter what we are called we will always be THE RANGERS and you'll know we are THE RANGERS. Do you know best part of this is it will choke you.
Do you have the new sellick dartboard yet, no trebles, no doubles just a lot of bull

Rangers can place stars on their strip if they want, it's really up to them.

if rangers get to pay creditors 20p to the pound should players such as naismith be sold at 20p to the pound?

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Sold to who? Should any team be free to benefit from this? How would it work, would Rangers have to contact some sort of organisation to place an official value on him and then sell for 20% of that?

Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC is a business of substance, owning Braehead, Lakeside and numerous other big shopping centres.
Rangers FC Group Ltd also appears now to be a subsidiary of this group.
This is truly a web of gargantuan proportions being woven.
It seems that one subsidiary of a shopping centre group now owns Ibrox & Murray Park whilst another has a fixed & floating charge over them.
Craigys back! Only 14 (shopping days) to 0 (liquidation) – at most

Sanjay Nair, a sports reporter for the Straits Times in Singapore, believes the Rangers supporters would not be disappointed in what Ng brought to the table.
Reflecting on the new venture, and his previous purchase of Tiong Bahru United in 2005, Ng was brutally honest about his motivation for becoming involved. “I came into football because I was influenced by the love my two sons have for the sport and I have to admit I’m not a football man,” he said. “When I came in, I didn’t even know what the offside rule was and my sons had to teach me.”

Believable0 Unbelievable2

But he's loved rangers for years has'nt he?..........green jhedi

Agree2 Disagree0

Aye same as maurice johnston only ever wanted to play for 1 team yous will never live that 1 down lol doug

Agree2 Disagree0

The same as every signing that sellik pure loved them growing up.As if anyone outwith this blinkered group cares about the second best team in a small country until you start waving £20 notes under their noses. b4 you mention ra big one this is no indicator of class, forest have won it twice tho not much good its done them but if they've won it twice they must be better than ra sellick

Agree2 Disagree0

If he didn't know what the offside rule was and isn't a football man...what age is this guy if his sons had to explain the offside rule but he watched Rangers win the Cup Winners Cup in 1972? Anyone else smell a bit of Singaporean Craig Whyte.....for real and in rhyming slang!!

lets be positive and hope new owners are in place soon. when the new season starts who my fellow rangers fans think will be on ally's shopping list. i'll throw one in starting with motherwell's henrik ojamaa.

Believable0 Unbelievable4

Templeton from hearts

Agree1 Disagree2

And the money comes from where? Remember you will need to pay up front for anything you want........green jhedi

Agree2 Disagree0

Cant believe your looking at players, why would Ojamaa or Templeton want to go to Rangers, if newco they might be in the 3rd division, if they stay in the spl Rangers wont be able to afford them. if you look at the track record of ng from Singapore he has build a youth system to integrate players and see's that as a way forward.

Dreaming I Think

Vambo

Agree3 Disagree0

What about the boy Andy Gow from Kilbirnie juniors he's a free at end of season? Albertz might still do a job for us too. He will play for free too?

Agree2 Disagree0

Hutton and Fleck will come back with experience under their belt. Hopefully Ness, Darren Cole and Perry can push for regular first team football. Little to continue to progress. Naisy back.....That's the way forward i think. If we can keep hold of the likes of Shagger, Naisy, Bocanegra, Edu and Lafferty with a mix of youth (the guys i have mentioned) then we could have a pretty decent team. No matter who takes over i doubt we'll see any arrivals.

Is there any info on the SFA saying that if Rangers came back as a newco they would be allowed to keep the Rangers name and history. Just a question people.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Be no name or history,dont beleive the media spin on this hybrid newco gets to keep name history..be like 3rd lanark defunct wiped out...the deluded still think wont happen tho

Agree6 Disagree1

Go on the Leeds utd website and see if they are still the same club after pre-pack liquidation.

That should answer your question

Agree2 Disagree2

It's not the SFA with regards to the name, you can't legally trade under Rangers FC, we could however be Glasgow Rangers FC, which loads of people (even some of our fans) thought was our name anyway.

Agree1 Disagree3

Leeds did not go into liquidation.

Agree2 Disagree5

Glasgow rangers fc& numerous other names have all been snapped up you will find,some pesky timmys have took them,lol

Agree4 Disagree0

You can transfer certain elements including name and history. It is very much dependant in what duff and phelps negotiate. Sadly , HMRC ain't going to play, there will be no CVA and we will be reborn as a newco. Even sadder is the myriad of obstacles and problems that brings. Eventually it may be severely punished in the SPL or application to the SFL. Interestingly there might be a new organisation in Scotland run by the SFA that would require all clubs to apply for. We shall see.

Agree1 Disagree1

We might not even have Rangers in our name.a dhim on my FB page had a list of all the names that have been registered.I'm sure the timmy ed on here had it as well a while back. There was over 100 different names that they have registered and most had "Rangers" in them.What would happen if we ended up as Glasgow United or something like that?F**k that !

The blue knights have basically got no dough, in relation to what Rangers need.
Why do you think PM never made a big song and dance about the Ng ticketus tie up, in fact he put his backing behind it.
The mess is too big, and PM and the BKs would have run us as a good business, but it's gonna take too much to get us on the level, and they don't have it.
PM can see liquidation coming fast, even if they had taken over, and how would that look, if the BKs found that they ultimately had to go down the liquo route, after having the backing of everyone.
PM and the BKs im afraid have simply and understandably taken cold feet.
The crazy thing is....remember all the shouting and protesting that we done when run under the bank?
Oh, how i wish we were still in the same boat.
Let's be honest here....we are a million times worse off today, than we were before Whyte came in.
I honestly think we're gone bears,,ive always said there would be no liquo, but i'm not even sure we can have a newco anymore, because here's the thing,,,if it's a newco, the gers havn't been bought, where do we play, where do we train, who are we? because a newco dont have any assets, then we would have the embarassment of going to Whyte to rent Ibrox ''from him'' for maybe 3m per year.
F***, BRING BACK LLOYDS....all is forgiven.

Good Day Fellow Bears....

Well as I said in a post yesterday, I am getting increasingly pi**e* off with the nonchalant slapstick manner with which our club is being treated.

Firstly I wish someone would go after the blood sucking thieving sh**e bags who got our club in this mess, as for the potential suitors for the purchase of this great institution, this Bill NG has stated he wants to bring back the glory days, however he wants a Scottish board, so from where I am sitting great move if him and the Blue knights get together, organise a share issue etc.

Also the Yank Miller he is still in the running. For me i do strongly believe that the very best option, in the best interests of the club and all it stands for would be for Kennedy and Murray’s blue knights to get together, they could do wonders if as they say they are acting in the best interests of the club and its supporters.....

I for one would plough savings into the club in return for share’s... Roll on the good times.
We will be returned to our place at the footballing table, minus the vultures. (soon I hope).
Its great being a bear.
Rosehearty True Blue

Believable3 Unbelievable7

Every day there is 5 different news stories from ibrox, but "gettting back to the glory days" is what murray wanted and look where it got him.

Agree3 Disagree0

Do you really think the club will survive after the big tax case? Who will pay that bill?
The consortiums only want to pay off the creditors at a reduced rate but don't want to pay the tax bill.

Agree5 Disagree0

Decent shout mate, but your missing the point that we are now out of time.
This aint going to happen overnight, especially as foreign investors need clearence which takes months.
The blue knights have backed off because they know its not possible and they dont want to appear to be the ones to take us into liquo......what i want is for people to come on and tell me that i'm talking sh***, because i genuinely hope that i am, but i think we are gone........can't sell season tickets, cant discuss contracts, greegs davo naisy laff and the rest will all walk, they must, wot do you expect,,,,,cant arrange pre season ,cant sign players, cant play in europe, might have another point deduction, might have sanctions from the fa for double contracts, big tax case still there....f*** me man, how can we be an attractive option, and that sh** will take months at least to sort out.

Agree6 Disagree1

I may have missed somethings. What do you imagine will be the outcome of the hearings of this week's 5 charges by the SFA against Rangers ? When is the double-contract investigation coming to SFA? Do they have to wait until the BTC before laying charges + removing titles 0-3?

Believable2 Unbelievable4

The SFA will wait until the big tax case findings are returned. When rangers are found liable for millions then the SFA will act on the dual contracts and punish rangers in some form or another.

Agree3 Disagree0

Rangers will get a small fine from the sfa this week and thats about it.


The double contracts are only in the minds of Celtic fans and Alex thomson.


Tbc has nothing at all to do with the sfa, nothing illegal has been done. If Rangers are found guilty it will be a case of not wording them right.

Arsenal were fined for the use of EBTs and never had an trophies taken away, pure fantasy to say the least

Agree3 Disagree4

@2 Its got zero to do with the sfa it is the spl that are investigating the imaginary 2 contracts.


Only bit of evidence presented so far is Hugh adams saying that something like "this could have happend", not that it did. And if he knew about it why wait 15 years to say so?.

I hope Brian Kennedy comes in with a revised offer and buys Rangers. I just have an awkward feeling about the Singapore and US-based bids. A pity the Blue Knights were not more forceful in their bid. Couldn't they team up with Kennedy - surely the more money the better and the wider it is spread the better too.
I have no idea why Craig Whyte got involved in buying Rangers in the first place. He calls himself a Rangers fan but I find that hard to believe. At least we can content ourselves knowing that Celtic bottled two cup competitions and only won the league because we were docked 10 points and lost three successive home games in the aftermath of the off-field troubles. We will survive and go on to be stronger. WATP.

Believable5 Unbelievable5

That's terrific your team are about to be liquidated and rather than do anything positive you take solace in the fact that Celtic lost two tournaments that the ranjurs were already eliminated from!
