Honestly, you leave this thread be for a day or two and then, when you eventually come back to it, it's changed so much you can't recognise it. I've seen "Carry On" films with a more logical storyline than this, (I'm thinking specifically of Khyber and Cleo). So - the Blue Knights, who don't do walking away, have done just that. What wacky, zany, golly-gee-whilikers development can possibly come next? My money's on a joint bid from that nice Amanda Barrie and Asian millionaire playboy, the Khazi of Khalibar!

Rangers" administration saga is truly odd. Deadlines are announced and are then slowly pass with nothing happening. News conferences come and go with no-one the wiser as to what is really happening. I'm sure I saw an old episode of the "Twilight Zone" that was a bit like this - a strange, otherwordly experience where time and logic lose all meaning..........and nothing is as it first appears. I'll close now as I'm making myself scared and it's not easy typing this from behind the sofa with a cushion over my face.

Okay. Over three hundred pages into this thread and I can't take any more. The pressure's too much for me. I admit it - it was me - I'm to blame! But the money was just resting in my account, honest! It was just a temporary cashflow problem. Will you take Greek Euros?

I think I've got that one; isn't it the "B" side of Max Bygraves' "You're A Pink Toothbrush - I'm A Blue Toothbrush"?

All of a sudden I feel thirsty - have a green tea, sir.

NEW READERS START HERE: the story so far...................... 1) Whyte buys Rangers for £1 2) Whyte voluntarily puts Rangers into administration so that he can appoint his choice of Administrators, (Duff & Phelps). 3) Eighteen days pass without any major cost-cutting by the Administrators. 4) The Administrators then begin legal action against Whyte, ( the man who chose them in the first place) for £9 Million he owes Rangers. 5) The Administrators issue a press statement saying that Rangers cannot last out the rest of the season unless it starts immediate savings of £1 Million per month. Confused? Well, I certainly am. If you were to read this in a novel, you just wouldn't believe it - too far-fetched.

What an excellent post! An accurate description of how it feels to follow a non-Old Firm club. I would award you a red-and-yellow-hooped award of some kind, but all I can find is this green thingy. Well deserved!

Wow! That sounds ominous. I presume that HMRC want to prevent Whyte from having any chance of influencing the administration process. I know little about the legal side of things. Can HMRC prevent Whyte from becoming a prefered bidder for rangers after all the asset-stripping has been done?
