david weir gets presented with a lovely 354 quid decanter signed by the squad for his sterling service,the manufacturers wish david all the best in the future but they havent been paid 354 quid for the said decanter.....what a shameful way to honor a club stalwart.its a pity rangers never paid some of their overpaid superstars 20p in the pound instead of trying to fleece creditors and the taxpaying public out of millions..

Four men had a dream
To start a football team
They had no money, no strips not even a ball

But still they go on
And The Rangers were born
54 titles later
We still follow on

FOOGIE BOOGIE BEAR 1872

A finance professor has said Rangers’ potential total debt of £134m does not make any difference to club’s survival.

David Hillier, from Strathclyde University’s business school, claimed that the report released by administrators on Thursday meant that liquidating the club is "not needed".

Duff and Phelps report revealed that Rangers could owe as much as £134m, while the amount that owner Craig Whyte could be due is not yet known.

Professor Hillier told STV News that the Ibrox club could avoid liquidation by agreeing a company voluntary agreement of around £30m, financed by any new owner.

He said: "These figures don’t make a great deal of difference to the bigger picture. The fundamentals remain the same.

"Any bidder would have to pay off the floating charge and if they were agreeing the CVA, in total, the money any bidder would needed to be put into Rangers is anywhere between £25m to £30m, possibly £32m in total.

"It [a CVA] is very much achievable, these figures are workable and liquidation is not needed. Even looking at the worse case scenario for Rangers it doesn’t seem too bad, as long as a CVA is agreed, which I think is the most likely option."

Craig Whyte was right all along.
Whyte was duped by Murray.
When whyte got in, he only started to see the proper financial affairs that were going on. £666,000 salary for Bain? Incredulous. EBT offshore payments almost at will - criminal.
Ally out of 4 tournaments stuffed up the revenue for the first time in several years, it shoved the club into admin together with Bain and McIntyre ring fencing £900,000.
Then they all used their lapdog media friends to attack en masse Craig Whyte, utter b'stads.

So even though brian kennedy has stated publically that he will bid for us if liquidation is the route any other bidder wants to go down......the tims still insist we'll die. kennedy must know what he would be taking on. i.e potential debt like the 124 million mentioned......but no!! You tims know better right???

The amount doesnt matter if we can agree a cva its only if we cant we are in trouble hmrc would rather they got something(maybe whytes head on a plate) than nothing plus if we start running a proper buisness and pay our dues hmrc are gonna start making good money.
craig+babybear

Agree0 Disagree1

HMRC wouldnt get "Nothing" if the club were liquidated.........The considerable assets (MP, Ibrox etc) would be sold off and they would get a large piece of the pie! Question is......What do they consider more value of payback to the taxpayer... a tight assed pence in the pound CVA? Or an Asset Sell Off? We'll See!!!

Agree2 Disagree0

Your wrong No2, It's true that HMRC would receive a share of some of the money after liquidation but only after all the secured creditors have been payed. We can guess how much that would be but it's likely to be less than what it's possible to recoup from accepting a CVA. It'll be the new owners job to ensure the CVA is the more attractive option. duccablue

People should not look to much into the 134 million figure quouted tonight, this includes a pPOTENTIAL tax outcome and every club in the world is the same when it comes to owing transfer fees and wages to other clubs, this only seems extra grimace for us because our financial situation has been well documented. Its actually the most positive vibe cming from Ibrox in a long time and its actually good to get some sort of clarity would you not agree?, once we get a CVA agreed we can get out of administration and begin to rebuild.

You cannot put a price on history and memories my delusional friend.
Okay so we're not proud of the way the blazers have ran the club into the ground, and all true fans are fkn gutted for being taken for mugs.
But do you know what, i was there through the bad times(John Greig) and the rebuilding of Ibrox. I was there during the good times with Sir Ripusoffalot, and they were magical moments that nothing can ever take away. so you do all the ranting and spouting of nonsense you like, because the 9 in a row days, i seen them,the calvalry charge to the world record 54 league titles, i was there, and i partied mate. You can hope,wish, and demand all you want, but you'll never take the memories mate, and i'm privileged to have been a Rangers supporter. It wasn't the players, it wasn't the fans, it was morally corrupt businessmen who did this to our club.
So embarrassed?...yes, for having been ripped off financially,embarrassed for being a "Ranger"?...Never mate. So jog along, think i hear nurse calling you.

Here is a prediction and a question.
I predict that a CVA is agreed, an injection of cash into Rangers 1872, then Whyte refuses to sell his shares and the administrators are forced to sell the trade and assets out to Rangers 2012 Ltd. This will be sold in the press as all Whytes fault and a necessary step to eliminate his presence. The question is, will you then support that club, Rangers 2012, formed because Whyte wouldnt walk away? I think that would be an easy sell to the fans with headlines screaming from the DR.

I see we owe Murray Group some £200k. If there was ever a reason to go into liquidation, this is it.
I have read so much on this case and am sure that I read that Rangers paid Murray Group £6m a year for advice and consultancy fees, which included advice on EBTs. So much for Murray taking nothing.
As much as I detest Whyte, Sir D M you are a disgrace, in truth you are nothing more than a sheister. You stated on numerous occasions that you were merely a custodian of this great club. Well thanks to you the club is on the brink. You should be ashamed , and you should never be allowed to forget your part in this fiasco.
Frankly I would like to see you stripped of your title, and would like to see you in the Bar-l, along with Mr Whyte as your bum chum.
Let me make this clear, fans have died supporting this club and you put our club on the line because of an over inflated ego.
If we survive Murray Park should be renamed removing all references to you, because you don't deserve it.

Believable10 Unbelievable1

Totally agree, Yes he tried to live the dream for a while, but truth be told, for most of his stewardship has been all about cost cutting and pulling the wool over the fans eyes.
His attempts at clearing his name have been laughable and embarrassing, his name should be nowhere near the gates of our training ground.
We have been treated like mugs for far too long and any new owner must be scrutinised and second guessed in every decision that affects our club, the fans need a say in the way we are run, end of.
The decision D&p have to make may well be the most important one Rangers will ever face. I hope they get it right as I couldn't take this again.

let me post a question, do you honestly think duff and phelps would be saying that a cva is now possible if they hadnt already cut a deal with hmrc? its blatently obvious they have because no one or no consortium would bid on anything with a 75mil bill waiting in the background, hmrc are like the other creditors, all of them would rather see ten or fifteen percent of what they are owed rather than walk away with nothing, if we are liquidated then hmrc would be out of pocket to the tune of 3mil just in legal costs, as for ticketus they have already agreed to lose 17mil and accept 10mil just to get something back. i agree its an embaresment to our club, but david murray should have the "sir" ripped from him and wee whyte should be in saughton for a wee while.....col.

After D&P's latest report it would appear it's a billionaire or bust.Big decisions need to be made but does any true fan trust the same old supporters groups? Liquidation will soon be announced and a strategy for moving forward developed.Does the core support want to follow a newco or be in at the start of a true fans club like AFC Wimbledon? If Rangers as we know it dies,why not start a true supporter based club led by the Blue Knights? There are plenty grounds that could be rented when fan numbers were known,realistic wages and ambitions during rebuilding.Would it be morally right to follow a newco? not for me.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Aye but he's perhaps just a talking head, the worrying bit of the whole statement is the 85% shareholding, the administrators admit they are exploring ways of forcing a transfer of shares and have made a formal request for this to be done. This means Whyte still in the driving seat and that without him transferring the shares any potential bidder would want a transfer out of trade and assets meaning a new company which would mean a new reg number and all the history problems. Just read the full statement, what an unhholy mess, feel for the true fans.

the figures being quoted are actually not as bad as they sound,that is every single pice of debt and the worse case senario from the taxman,most major clubs in the world have debts that equal that and a lot of them are in an even worse state,even at Celtic do you honestly think that they have paid for all the transfers and it been a lot in the last 3 years no they will be on the never never like most clubs,dont worry the bidders who are in for us will know near enough to exact penny that it will cos to put us back on our feet and compete on a level playing field for the first time in a number of years,so dont despair at long last there is a glimmer of light at the end of a very long tunnel.

Believable1 Unbelievable7

But Rangers aren't a major club and cannot afford in any way to have similar amount of debt to clubs in England and Spain because the income just isn't there in Scotland.

Agree3 Disagree1

Are you serious?Take the big tax case out and it's still unworkable.Rangers operate at a 10m loss with no europe,none this year and next means 20m gotta be found to add to this number.Glimmer of light? Do the math {Ed001's Note - which is why they reduced player's wages drastically, and other costs too, all of which should save the necessary amounts. It is far from unworkable.}

Agree0 Disagree2

With the support that Rangers get they should be a major force in world,football should not be so reliant on tv money,and its only a matter of time before other teams suffer the same fate as us,so be dont be too smug we didnt know what was being swept under the carpet and maybe your club whoever they may be are operating in a Delbhouy like manner and not everything in the garden is as rosy as you are led to believe,I honestly hope not as this is not nice its like a never ending nightmare.

The directors seem to have colluded together at every turn, and not just against the creditor's interests, but the club's too. Seems to be a case of them all finding more and more ways to line their own pockets at everyone else's expense.}

There is no way that all interested parties have not had discussions with HMRC! It is clear that despite what our friends from the other side say, that a potential deal has been agreed. Whilst it is not ideal that we have failed to pay our debts, a CVA is very much a possibility.

If you look at current debt about £50m, then £27m is ticketus, which if BK are successful is written down to £10m, payable over ten years, that leaves £23m, and surely bid of £15m would give creditors a decent amount.

Everybody is naive if they think that HMRC will not take 10p in the pound or similar, they either get that or nothing if liquidated.

That may not be ideal, and I am one that believes we should pay our debts in full, even if that means ten barren years, that is clearly not going to happen.

The bottom line is that we must get a decision on the BGT as soon as possible, but this theory that we may come out of administration and be back in it after the tax case is ridiculous. If that was the case there would be no bids tabled at all.

It is beyond belief that this tax case has taken so long to get a decision, get the finger out urgently please.

Believable7 Unbelievable10

Start winning everything? You obviously have no understanding of business as the club will not have the money to do what it's been doing recently. Any Rangers/newco of the future will be a shell of its former self because of the financial situation. Remember the reason for the wage cuts etc.? The fact the club was losing £1m a month - no new owner will underwrite that so the business will have to be downsized.

Where is the dignity , pad ? You only owe Celtic FC 40,000 , most of the rest is owed to Hector , he needs it for Doctors , Teachers , Ambulance drivers and military personnel . A poppy is too small to hide behind , our troops deserve to be paid .

Why should any other clubs football fans have sympathy for cheats?

Agree7 Disagree3

Its not "there hatred and bigotry" as you say that people want you to fold, it is because you are CHEATS! what dont you understand, your club is the most corrupt club. and we are not th ones who are known for hate and bigotry it is your club that is known for that around the world. sdm and all your legends made your club go towards liq and tainted tittles for years where as you fans helped out with the image of rankers as having the worst fans who cant control themselves and who cant think from a level head. bye bye rankers=fair play and proper football, site back and enjoy the years to come as you see Celtic get bigger and better and more successfull. we can all hear the hate and anger in your message but were that should go is to your own club for they did this to yous as well as you did it to yourselves.

Aye right! Kelly/White dynasty with the 'estimated attendances' tax scam, ran it for years.
Even when you started out as a club you stole players from Hibernian, a real charity. Paid the players to walk away from Hibernian. Messrs Welsh and Glass put the money up.

Utter fantasy and wishful thinking . Mr Whyte has still to be paid and , if internet whispers are true and they have been spot on for a year or so , he will be deservedly asking for 30m . Add that to the 134m and you're fast approaching a 1/5 of a BILLION ,yep , thats BILLION .

Dont be so gullible. In case you have not noticed, Rangers are in admin. Options are a CVA or Liquidation. Either way, total debt does not matter. Percentage will be paid in CVA, or fook all in liquidation.

With all the evidence emerging of the EBT tax evasion case it is likely to land in its entirety for £75million. Very highly probable.
But let's say, for relaxed fairness that it's a 50:50 deal that would mean a debt of75/2=£37.5m and hence plus £55m a total debt of £92.5million!!!!
All increasing every day!!!

Any chance you could kind of clarify best you can please ed ? {Ed001's Note - I am trying to read through the full statement now, it is heavy going through! I will post up my understanding as soon as I can get through it, but 55mil could easily be racked up in operating costs over a season, especially when the club has sold off most of its income streams. It amazes me the club has lasted as long as it has the way Murray was running it!}

Exited???. Firstly debt is potential liability as BTC not decided as yet. Why not be excited, the whole process is to take the club out of Admin. Taxman and ticketus haven't a lot of options, accept very low p/£ rate or get nought, if it comes to liquidation then what that does is make Rangers a very good investment as we would be debt free. I appreciate the history angle but its the future that is important, the past history are memories. The best part will be Celtic leaping to save us and keep us in the SPL, ehh how would that vote go again, Lawwell has already played his hand, mmm looking forward to that succulent lamb again.

Agree2 Disagree4

Not excited, but if you read the full document even afte all the tax cases have been settled there is a still 58million pounds worth of assets left for the new buyer. So it is not as bad a business move as you are
L trying to make out. If you believe the level of debt from the report you must also believe the good bits.

Who's success ? Dodo FC are finished . If you've properly digested the figures you would realise it's all over . Since the 14th of February the clubs income is little over 1m , Duff n Phelps fees since that date are 1.2m . 55m of debt before Hector gets to smash your back doors in for at least another 75m .

There will be an RFC no more . You can celebrate success following Linfield , probably , but it wont be as a fan of RFC , i mean , how can you support a team that doesn't exist ?

Good night Dodo FC , it's been emotional

Good afternoon fellow bears.

Well the air is thick again today with all sorts of speculative nonsense.
I do however see that the septic ones are out in force trying to stir up discontent!
Come on lads get a life, should you not be concerning yourself with securing the tainted title!!

As for the posts regarding the bids submitted, a lot of the post’s today seem a bit fanciful and unbelievable, however more and more I do believe that the Dr. Mr shining bright himself has matters in hand hidden from sight, more and more it seems that he is asset stripping, nothing to sagest that he is operating in the interest of our beloved club, a f*****g toe rag of the highest order, and for sure if this is the case I sincerely hope he has slept his last peaceful sleep.

Everything seems to be taking far too long, this whole issue has became a fares of humongous proportions, a laughing stock, sooner it’s done the better, I have had enough of the whole bl****e mess. Lets hope that our darkest hour has passed and we are now heading out of the woods! The one post I would love dearly to believe is that they are going to invest some serious money in our squad!! Then ally can start bringing the younger guys through. (Wishful thinking! Who know’s)……….

And as an added bonus, when you liquidate your history will be lost, add to that if the EBT thing turns out to be true, you will also lose titles won (FIFA/UEFA are very strict on this point, check the website). Stop griping and get a bit humility, get yourself a life, you could follow Motherwell or St Mirren next season though lol. Scott

good to know there is 4 bids on the table. I think people are to quick to make judgement about the other bidders outwith the bk bid. It's rangers minded people that have put us in this mess in the first place, nobody knows the real intrested parties and there intentions about liquidation. As mention by the financial expert SSN earlier today that liquidation would mean a much higher investment upfront and would take along time to recoup any money which doesnt make much sense for any body wanting to make a quick buck. I am sick of people mentioning that knowone 100 million, 1 . nobody knows what the number is 2. They obviously dont understand what a cva is 3. If HRMC dont agree a CVA then they get hewhaw.

RFC have assets reportedly approx 120 million. They can be sold

@ 1; rangers assets of 120m? are you mad? if rangers had that they would not be in this mess

Check the last 5 years accounts, the book value of the assets is indeed circa £120m

Agree1 Disagree4

Rangers accounts are a shambles and full of lies and cover ups.

Agree3 Disagree1

Be lucky to get a 1/4 of that @auction

Agree2 Disagree0

I agree that the last five years accounts show assets of £120million. However the stadium is valued at £122million in the accounts and I don't think anyone is going to swallow that as a realistic value. These valuations are agreed between the directors and the accountants. I would guess that the stadium is worth about £20million top dollar, so there is quite a shortfall!

Agree1 Disagree2

The assets are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them or can be used as security against credit.
Now ask yourself, who is going to pay £100m plus for rangers assets and what bank or financial institution is going to give rangers credit?

If the AEG bid was succesful there are other ways of revenue to make money for the club. The contacts this guy has is unreal aswell as his wealth. He could easily organise and L.A Galaxy vs N.Y RedBulls charge £42 a ticket at Ibrox you would have a full stadium FACT, just thinking of ways to make money for the club as wee will have no licence to play in europe for 3 years. What I am trying to explain basically is the same deal that Wembley hold with the NFL matches. What do you think fellow bears ??

Its not AEG though its a consortium put togethor by club 9.

Agree2 Disagree5

Club 9 were operating for AEG, Paul Murray may have good intentions but does he have the wonga to back him up ? When the first potential bidders were being named AEG were named then disapeared but there was no noise coming from them, this is because we are dealing with a multi billion pound company who is not going to let all its business go public. As someone said we have our bids in now and we just have to play the waitin game again, also liquidation is NOT an option BK has said the thought of rangers fc being liquidized scares the life out of him, if the preferred bidder wants liquidation he WILL step in

I have changed my mind on what I want to happen at my club over this a few times now. But am set on my ideas now. If one of these guys says, I will pay off the debts now in full with money set a side if we lose BTC with £2 to buy the club but we cant buy anyone for the next 5 years or something like that. Then thats my man. I dont want this hanging over my club. Take us to the third division if you must. But I want a clear conscience when we come out of this, but I dont think that will happen. CVA is not going to make me that happy but its a start, and I dont think a newco deserves my support. Its like there taking the p**s but saying hey keep giving us money. Yes I would check there score first every week. But I think my season ticket would move to my local team. Although I do have a question to ask. What if a group of fans started a little club, just got in good players obviously no names. Gradually build them up moving through the leagues. Now this new team would be playing in a park some where at the start. But it was the fans of the Rangers that started it. Nothing to do with the old regime, would you follow it? Would you see it as a real new team not a newco. As I think I would. A team that the fans own and run. A team that comes from the fans. Am sure alot of you will disagree, loads of you. But I now a lot of you on here said you wouldnt follow Rangers if they went under and came back with a new name. So would you follow a team created by the fans? Just a thought.

What a load of nonsense.So you want someone to lay out 20-30m,put aside say 40m,to absorb a club that at present,runs at a 10m loss?A club with no euro football for at best one year,and playing in a league that makes very little cash.Factor in the wage levels and it's that easy eh? Also what makes your newco better than the other newco? What level would your newco start at? Where would you play etc,etc.

Agree0 Disagree3

Just my thoughts my friend. I thought most people would understand that I mean I dont want my club with that cloud always hanging over it. The club is better than that, it was the fools running it that caused it. And about the newco. Why should I follow a team that thinks it can play its get out of jail free card when in trouble?. But I would follow a team that went from the ground up. I would love to watch a team, the fans team. Come from nothing back up to the top. Not a team with a board that lies.

People talking about 'bids' on here are comical. Bids mean nothing if Craig whyte doesn't want to sell his shares. the administrators can't sell rangers without Craig whytes permission. when will you realise that? {Ed001's Note - he did come out and say he was looking to sell.}

Believable4 Unbelievable1

It's simple,give craig whyte the 30 million he says he is due,then live within your means after paying back in full everything the company owes,where is the big problem!!?

Agree2 Disagree1

Of course he'll sell. Anything over £1 is a profit for him.

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed 01 he also came out and said he would give ally millions to spend on players...... Then didn't {Ed001's Note - very true, but I think he is going to have to try and get out now. The administrators are revealing a complete shambles.}

Lets try to look at things sesibly here. We need to know how much each bid is, without that piece of info no one knows the outcome. For example i could make a bid of 2 pound and a whole lot of promises. I,ll invest another 10 million in players i,ll pay off the debt, i,ll not liquidate the club. Sound familiar, CW did the same. Once your the owner you can do what you like and say afterwards you had no choice.

HMRC have been down this road already and sentimentality doesn,t come into it, its hard cash up front not jam tomorrow im afraid so highest bidder wins, Hmrc doesnt care about ticketus or anyone else, thats my opinion anyway?

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Likewise Ticketus don't care about HMRC. And Craig Whyte cares about neither. Welcome to the world of business.

Can someone please tell me of the blue knights get there hands on our club where will there money come from and if Paul Murray has all these great ideas then why did he not implimemt some of them when he was with us before?? We need new blood at the club no someone that's been there before.

Believable9 Unbelievable1

I agree, I heard Alistair Johnstone on the radio this morning saying he hoped that whoever gets the club, that they learn the lessons of the last twelve months, what about the last twelve years when his lot were running it? CW is not the only guy to blame here, SDM and his stooges on the board made this mess and then got out for a pound!

It's not our fault you lot lack discipline..9 dhims on a pitch says more about your lack of bottle and leadership....we can only beat what's in front of us....9 green bottlers....and the wean in the media room ..classic Lemon......

Stroll on 29th of April, wonder if the bookmakers will make an absolute tw@t of themselves again ! Quite fancy a trip to legoshed to play the "champions" ! Have Celtic been beaten twice by a team in administration ? (if we are still in it then) could be "historic" pmsl
