I just realised that I've read every single one of the 20K + posts on this thread.......and I am no further forward in understanding what's going on with Rangeers FC. What a mess! No wonder I drink......Oh, and while I'm on that subject, .....Cheers! Good luck to all on this thread, (it may take another 820 pages before this farce is resolved!)

Excellent post! The administrators at Ibrox are desperate to get away home and never have to deal with Rangers or Scottish football ever again. They will say anything, do anything, as long as it allows them to make the sharpest of exits from Ibrox. Miller has put in a promise of about £11M for something reputed to be worth £20M - £30M. He knows it's a bit of a minefield but, it might just be worth tiptoeing through it if the reward is worth it. His bid is not binding; so he can withdraw it or lower it at any time. If he withdraws he will lose his half-million quid "show and tell" deposit, but he knows that he is now the only show in town and that there's a betting chance of profitting on the deal. Even if he walks away, he will have had a look at the clubs financial details and will be in a position to "advise" others in the future. Far from being niaive, you have put your finger on the exact point of the matter: Miller must be asking himself, as you put it, "Even the diddies at the SFA and SPL are surely not that daft, they would agree to demands set by , what is basically, a complete stranger!". It is his first step into Scottish football's minefield of stupidity and hypocrisy. I think his poker face will eventually collapse and he will run away, clutching as much of Rangers assets as he can grab hold of.

Miller can lower his bid. That's according to the correspondent on Radio 5, (I didn't catch his name). Radio 5's spin on this was that the administrators, having named Miller as preferred bidder will now call on the Blue Knights, (who, as we all know, don't do walking away) to submit a higher offer than Miller. If no better bid is forthcoming, Miller would remain the sole bidder and could then decide to revise his offer downwards. So, he may not be risking £11M on Rangers after all. Personally, I think we're still at the poker-playing stage: bluff and counter-bluff. I believe the administrators want to be a million miles away from Rangers, and from anything to do with Scottish football. They are so shell-shocked that they will do a deal with anyone, just anyone, who can hasten their departure back to England. Such a strange administration! Agatha Christie wrote novels with less twists in the story - not as funny, though

Spooky! That was my first thought as well..................... They couldn't have.......they wouldn't......... could they? Nooooooooooooooo! Well they they said it doesn't happen, does it? Do you think they really have? walked away, that is? (© Frankie Howerd 1964)

Doom and gloom at Ibrox? Far from it........wipe away those tears! Get those suicidal thoughts out of your head! Throw away your (red white and) blues with the crazy, zany, smiley admin team! Duff & Phelps

No. Just pointing out that Chazza's post predicts the future, that's all. It would be very satisfying if things actually panned out his way but, for the moment, it is speculation and not fact.

A case of............. "Cross me palm with silver, dearie!" and then will Rangers meet a tall, dark stranger and travel over water?

Vlad is a pussycat! He's just misunderstood....in a drooling-mouthed, thousand yard stare kind of way.

I can only imagine Duff & Phelps are beginning to regret the day they ever heard of Rangers FC. The way this administration has been handled has surely lost them a lot oif potential custom.

No! No! I'm Eric Drysdale!

I'm sure Ethel would have known exactly what to do with Mr. Traynor!

.......and, just for a bit of perspective; from BBC Sport website. English Championship clubs making losses of more than £6m will be fined millions of pounds or put under a transfer embargo from the 2014-15 season. Three of the 24 clubs voted against new regulations to limit investment from owners and curb total spending. The changes will also prevent owners from funding their clubs through loans. Football League chairman Greg Clarke said: "They will begin to lay the foundations for a league of financially self-sustaining football clubs." Owners will be allowed to invest £6m next season, £5m the year after, then £3m in the 2014-15 season.

No! No!..........I'm Spartacus!

Just a bit of editing, there. Or, why not share with Pollok FC? Their season hasn't been too good, so they could do with the money. And there's a Morrison's just next door to Newlandsfield - with an off-sales!

Ooooh! Clever! Have a green thing. The Record has Jim Traynor but we've got quotes from a philosopher with tertiary syphilis, so there! Hang on..... my psychic powers are kicking in and thy're telling me what Jim Traynor will write his column tomorrow; "Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed. The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind." He's an awfy man, that Mr. Traynor.

An ideal site for a wind farm, I think. ........with the administrators strapped to the blades.

A very good comment. But, tell me, why have you attached a photo of Fester Addams?

The administrators are due in the Court of Session @ 10 o'clock tomorrow, (Wednesday) to give an update on their reign at Ibrox. I wonder if we'll hear any new revelations?

I disagree. i think we should offer to groundshare,making sure that we first of all get their money up front, put Partick Thistle FC into voluntary administration, and then re-emerge as newco, "Jags 1876". Then we evict them for not having a contract with the new company.

Then perhaps you'll take some small comfort in knowing that they were defeated at home, 0 - 3, by the Jags yesterday, (and that's with us missing a penalty, too.)

I'm not going to say this again........................STOP DISSING PAUL & BARRY CHUCKLE!!!!!!!! They're sensitive artistes and deserve our respect. Comparing them to Rangers' administrators is just WRONG!

Wait a minute! Fair dos to the brothers Chuckle. Paul & Barry Chuckle are shining examples of logic and efficiency compared to Rangers' administrators.

There's a team plays in red, blue and white which is owned by a con-man, named Whyte. He's entrepreneural but the fans are quite feral. So, from Ibrox, goodbye and goodnight. (Yes - I know it should be entrepreneurial instead of entreprenueral; but then the limerick wouldn't scan properly. And, anyway, I think I should get Brownie points for not using the word "shite"!).
