  1. Brilliant letter from David Forbes on the liquidation, and the unwillingness of fans to accept that the old club died, in the November When Saturday Comes.
  2. Some more to add today and no doubt more over the next few days thanks to Police Scotland!
  3. Seeing guy today with three kids under 5 all in matching "Rangers since 1872" T shirts.
  4. Suggest that this thread should be split in two. BRALT 1 would be for those who want to continue to discuss the extinct club and a new BRALT 2 for discussion on the solvency of the new one.
  5. Don't understand the concept of 'recovery' for a club that has only existed for three years, has finished further up the leagues each season and reached a couple of cup finals, losing gallantly in each to higher status teams.
  6. "Rangers not ready to pay back Mike Ashley loan, board admits at EGM". Thought they were Aye Ready?
  7. Definitive answer... today. So can the mods now close this thread. No longer needed... unless and until we have an insolvency event.
  8. Well done BBC. About 15 minutes of football in a nearly 40 minute programme. A vast improvement on a normal Sportscene. PS hope it was alcohol-free beer that BBC showed being drunk on team coach
  9. Given how few decisions he normally gets right were you surprised?
  10. Is that Houston getting his players in a huddle to get ready for extra time?
  11. No. He's not even that good. Embarrassing that the SFA think he's the best in Scotland.
  12. Can one of our resident financial experts comment on the impact of at least another season in the Championship? Insolvency event inevitable?
  13. The SFA deciding that Dave King is a fit and proper person to join the Board. I wonder whether there are any circumstances in which they would regard anyone as unfit to join the Board?
  14. Normally I would have nothing nice to say about Queen of the South, but have to say I will be jealous if they have the privilege on 13 May to put Sevco out of business.
  15. Standing in a supermarket in a resort in Menorca in summer 2012 seeing a Rangers fan in full regalia with two similarly attired kids crying his eyes out when, after waiting for the Daily Records to arrive from the airport, he saw the front page confirmed that the club was no more. Observing the Spanish staff utterly incomprehensible at what they were seeing.
  16. Hadn't realised how good Rory Bremner actually is! I will never criticise his impressions again.
  17. Obvious venue... will reduce the numbers of the great unwashed who are able to turn up.
  18. What annoys in all the talk about this loan and that one, securitised or not, and which directors should be sacked and which appointed, is the lack of any mention of sporting integrity. How can it be acceptable for a club to win promotion if they had to borrow millions to do so. IMHO a clubs should NOT be allowed to borrow in-year. If that means they cannot finish a season then so be it. That would be a fairer outcome.
  19. No. There is a concept in company law of a "shadow director". While this is not illegal per se, it is if you are barred from being a director!
