  1. I see there are still no Rangers fannies on this thread since the announcement was made. Long may it last.
  2. Can't wait for the mass exodus of players come June 1st. How Green will feel as he sees his prized assets disappear on the cheap is any one's guess especially if he is an asset stripper as we largely expect he is.
  3. Its good to see the mood has tlifted. All we need now is for the fire sale of Rangers best players to commence as revealed by the Daily Ranger. This might just be the tipping point that makes Green think twice about his involvement with this corrupt institution.
  4. Yup - and I reckon it will only take one to break ranks and they'll be like rats deserting a sinking ship ......speaking of rats......what's happened to all those Wrongers fans that were slinking back onto this thread in the last few days?
  5. Because the SPL is weighted in favour of the Old Firm. Have you not been reading parts of this thread?
  6. Saw this today in the Daily Ranger:- Rangers in crisis: Seven Ibrox stars worth £25m can go for just £8m following pay cut deals May 16 2012 Exclusive by Keith Jackson RECORD SPORT can today reveal the full multi-million pound cost of the secret sweeteners handed out to Ally McCoist’s most valuable stars by Duff and Phelps. Even by conservative estimates, the eye-watering reductions slash the current market value of seven of Ally McCoist’s first-team stalwarts from around £25million to a fixed price of less than £8m. And these cheap-as-chips deals look set to force owner Charles Green into overseeing a painful Ibrox jumble sale this summer. The cut-price fees are the result of trade-offs made by Duff and Phelps when McCoist’s men agreed to take whopping 75 per cent wage cuts to keep the club in business. The full list of bargain basement buys is being circulated around clubs in England and across Europe by agents who believe their clients can make a financial killing when the transfer market opens on June 1. Record Sport has also received explosive details of the deals which were struck behind closed doors between David Whitehouse and Paul Clark, union boss Fraser Wishart and players’ advisers. And we can reveal skipper Steve Davis, keeper Allan McGregor, team talisman Steven Naismith, Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty, Scotland full-back Steven Whittaker, USA international Maurice Edu and Romania defender Dorin Goian are the stand-out buys likely to attract most interest from vultures circling the stricken club. Davis can go for a knockdown £1.65m and was already being lined up for a return to former club Aston Villa before they binned boss Alex McLeish on Monday. Villa could yet return to the table for Davis who was signed for £4m from Fulham in the summer of 2008 after an initial loan period. At 27 and captain of his country, Rangers could expect £5m for Davis under normal circumstances. Scotland No.1 McGregor can be picked up for a flat fee of £2m – around £6m or £7m less than the prices being bandied about when he was linked with Spurs in 2009. A fully-fit Naismith – who has already attracted serious interest from West Brom despite not kicking a ball for most of the campaign because of a cruciate injury – would probably be marked down as the single-most valuable asset following his blistering form over the previous two campaigns. But his sale can be triggered if a bid of just £2m is tabled, which is just £100,000 more than Rangers paid to buy him from Kilmarnock. After copping a two-week ban from the club following a bust-up with McCoist, Lafferty appears a racing certainty to want to cash in on his clause. The £3.5m signing from Burnley is up for grabs at just £575,000 and Record Sport understands a firm bid could be imminent. Whittaker has also never been more highly regarded after nailing down his place as a regular in Craig Levein’s Scotland side. But although the player Rangers bought from Hibs for £2m in August 2007 is now entering his prime and tied up on a long-term new deal he’s on the market for just £850,000. At just £300,000, USA midfielder Edu might be viewed as the biggest bargain of the lot, given his experience of representing his country at the highest level including the World Cup in South Africa. That price represents a massive £2.3m loss on a player who was lured to Scotland four years ago in a £2.6m deal. Goian appeared to be something of a steal last summer when McCoist picked him up for £750,000. But Rangers don’t even stand to turn a profit on the 31-year-old as his deal allows him to move on for only £500,000 should any clubs come calling over the next three months. It had been hoped new Rangers owners might get the chance to negotiate with these players and urge them to rip up the recently redrawn contracts but Green arrived too late to open talks. Now the man who plans to push through an £8.5m takeover of an already ravaged club could also be exposed to losing his biggest assets at fire-sale prices.
  7. Amusing letter from Mr Green to a creditor on the HenryClarson.Wordpress Site
  8. Hopefully tomorrow the panel of three will do the right thing and agree that the original punishment was correct, giving us plenty of ammunition to point and laugh at Rangers and everyone associated with them including all Rangers arse kissing journalists.
  9. Exactly and how can Green hold out to June 6th when that's the day of the CVA. The creditors aren't going to be too happy only being told on the same day that they are supposed to say yes to the proposed CVA without knowing anything about these so called backers and the SFA will not allow it because it has to do "fit and proper person" test as of now.
  10. I'm quite sure that I read (possibly on that lawyer guy's site) that HMRC will want to know who the investors are before agreeing to any CVA - reason being that they could be agreeing to receive payment from someone who has had previous for non-payment. What if Mr Whyte happened to be one of these 20 investors? Still think they wouldn't care who was on board?
  11. It Seems Green won't announce his 20 man consortium until June 6th, and the fact that he has been phoning Freddy Shepherd makes me think that is all a load of shit that he has a 20 man consortium, he sounds like a man that is desperate to now get people on board and is trying to buy himself some time, by stalling on the identity of these other backers.
  12. Even before the transfer embargo is possibly lifted Rangers are lining up a new signing even though they are still in administration, truly sickening when you consider the millions they owe to a lot of people. Just hope this panel tomorrow don't bow to pressure from the blue scum and keep this transfer embargo on Rangers Tax dodging b'stards. Rino Gattuso has revealed he held talks with the new Rangers hierarchy at the weekend over a return to Ibrox after the 34-year-old ended 13 years with AC Milan on Sunday.
  13. Just watched Petrie on the BBC news and liked what he had to say, just hope some other Spl chairmen take note of what he said, especially about listening to the supporters.
  14. Er I think you may have missed the point a lot of these teams have suffered some sort of financial mis-management and some have went into administration.
