Desert Nomad Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Someone has just wrote on my facebook that a bid has been accepted by TBK and Kennedy. Delete him pronto, so out of touch it's not real. Kennedy & Murray have submitted a bid which requires a CVA which won't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 All those Rangers fans in the world, and yet they're relying on a St Mirren fan and a Hibs fan to make a bid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 There has been a disappointing lack of Rangers breakdowns on my Facebook feed over the past couple of months. I must be more selective of my mates 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 All those Rangers fans in the world, and yet they're relying on a St Mirren fan and a Hibs fan to make a bid. Sort of proves "So who's your big team?" was a justifiable question all along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm not a financial expert, therefore why will this not happen? Their offer is conditional on a CVA being accepted by the creditors and them taking full ownership of Craig Whyte's shares. I would assume that the onus would be on the administrators to arrange a CVA (which many believe is unlikely), and Craig Whyte to agree to transfer his shares (which many believe is unlikely). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Murray and Kennedy added: "We hope this is accepted so that we may proceed with due diligence forthwith and make a start to the task of re-building Rangers Football Club of 1872. " Rangers Football Club of 1872? Is this the newco name being announced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hahn Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 4. Songs: Please stick to clean anti-SFA songs and Rangers songs. Again, if the song is welcome at Ibrox then it is welcome on the march. Be mindful that there will be families in attendance, supporting our club; therefore be mindful of the language used. Now that's funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) I'm not a financial expert, therefore why will this not happen? Neither Ticketus nor the HMRC will accept a CVA which is likely to be worth less than 10p in the pound, when they would be better off liquidating and selling off the assets. It's unlikely that they'll offer enough to Whyte to persuade him to release his shares. P.S. Speaking with the wisdom of total ignorance of financial matters..

I would assume that the onus would be on the administrators to arrange a CVA (which many believe is unlikely), and Craig Whyte to agree to transfer his shares (which many believe is unlikely). Craig Whyte is a pshyco, meaning he literally has no sense of shame or empathy and has the ability to lie without remorse and hold a grudge forever. He will not let Paul Murray get the shares, he'd rather see Rangers die as payback for the independant board trying to upset his scam. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghPar1975 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) But you can gaurantee that this new bid will be met on Clyde SS, Real Radio and Sportsound as the second coming. Its ridiculous for them to say that they believe the bid is workable and has few conditions..only to have the conditions be that Ticketus and HMRC (with all the others) accept a CVA and Whyte just walks away... ..will be interesting to see D&Ps response, and also the Gers fans if its knocked back...is Millers bid even 'official' yet?

glasgow-sheep Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Dons Supporters Trust Letter: Open Letter to Stewart Milne re: Upcoming SPL MeetingThe Board of Dons Supporters Together have sent this open letter to Aberdeen FC Chairman Stewart Milne in regards to the upcoming SPL Meeting later this month. Dear Mr Milne, As you prepare for the meeting of the SPL clubs on 30 April 2012 to discuss the proposed changes to the rules of the SPL, we wish to make you aware of the views of the supporters we represent. It is our opinion that the proposed changes to the SPL rules do not go far enough, and have as their main purpose the facilitation of the direct entry of a Newco Rangers into the SPL following liquidation of the previous commercial entity. You will be aware of the strength of feeling that such a potential outcome arouses amongst followers of football across Scotland, and the potential damage to the game as a whole if financial self-interest is allowed to over-ride the principles of fair play, integrity and honouring ones obligations. The astonishing number of responses to the recent splsurvey and consistency of views expressed (even from Rangers supporters) cannot be ignored. Ultimately, the finance in the game comes from the pockets of the paying supporters, either through their direct contact with the clubs through ticket sales and merchandise or indirectly via their subscriptions to TV companies and sponsors. In survey after survey, these same customers whose money funds the game are telling every club and footballing authority in Scotland that they want more variety in larger leagues, more positive open, attacking and attractive football played, a fairer distribution of money within the game across all the leagues, and an even-handed application of the rules by officials and regulating bodies. Until the customers views are listened to and their views acted on, the game in Scotland will continue its slow and steady decline With regard to the SPL proposals our view is Resolution 1 – In favour. Resolution 2A – Against. Instead, we feel that an alternative Resolution 2 should be proposed which specifically prohibits an Insolvency Transfer Event. Resolution 2B – Not applicable due to the prohibition of Insolvency Transfer Event. Resolution 3 – In favour. Resolution 4 – The principles of our views on Resolutions 1,2A, 2B and 3 above should be applied to whatever specific updates are proposed. Resolution 5 – Not applicable due to the prohibition of Insolvency Transfer Event. An alternative rule should be proposed under which a member club’s share in the SPL is not transferable, and in the event of liquidation that share lapses. The remainder of the current season will be played out by the remaining clubs with games already played against the defunct club declared null and void. The vacant place will be filled by a double promotion from the top of the SFL first division at the end of that season. Resolution 6 – In favour. Resolution 7 – In favour. With regard to the potential of “life without Rangers”, it seems to us that the official statement you made in the Annual Accounts of 2002 is as relevant to the current situation as it was during the events of 2002 :- “It is difficult to envisage exactly what is going to happen in terms of the infrastructure of the game in Scotland but, as things stand, Aberdeen, along with all the other SPL clubs other than the Old Firm, will be leaving the SPL at the conclusion of season 2003/4. If that does happen, Aberdeen, along with the other clubs outwith the Old Firm, will be looking to form a new league with a new voting structure which Rangers and Celtic will be invited to join. If they choose to decline this invitation there is little doubt that, in the short term, there will be a reduction in revenues from broadcasting and sponsorship due to their absence. However, it is my firm belief that within a short period, a Scottish league, in which a number of clubs will be capable of winning the championship, will become extremely attractive to television companies and business organisations alike.” If the current 10 non Old-Firm clubs were to pursue today, the course of action proposed 10 years ago, it would be with the full support of DST. The notion of individual clubs owning their own TV rights in a league is preposterous, as is that of 2 clubs acting as a concert party and having the power of veto over the majority. The situation is entirely analogous to the rugby 5 Nations situation of the past when England’s demands for an unfair share of TV money were successfully faced down by the other countries. In the event that Rangers go into liquidation, as an alternative to the 10 resigning from the SPL, we suggest that an immediate egm of the SPL is called and the 10 push through changes to the voting structure while Celtic are in a minority of 1, and before any resumption of Old Firm hegemony can be re-established. DST considers that the time has now come to arrest the rapid decline of Scottish Football by restoring democracy, and re-distributing finances fairly in the game. The supporting public will no longer tolerate irregularities by the game’s fat cats, nor the subsidy of “too big to fail” enterprises whether they are banks or bankrupt football clubs.
