Broken Algorithms Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Meanwhile, the Rangers New Orleans style funeral band continues to play away as we march down taking the views of EBT Avenue before turning right into Liquidation Lane. The graveyard is just around the corner! Come one come all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araminta Moonbeam QC Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Was driving home and have missed all the fun. Baws. Luckily took the liberty of buying some succulent lamb for dinner. Followed by jelly and ice cream, naturally. Could the glorious day finally be here? The beginning of the actual end. Au revoir les Buns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 OK, so D&P were in with Ticketus before admin? What was their role - was it major? It was known already that D+P were advising Whyte during the takeover, but they denied knowing anything about the Ticketus deal. The BBC have evidence that they played a big part in setting it up, so they lied. They will claim a Chinese wall between what they were doing as advisers to Whyte and what they've been doing as administrators, ie different personnel, different dept etc. Have to wait till 8pm for the full succulent popcorn details, but an "expert" said it was enough for them to be thrown off the case.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipster Dufus Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 53 players on double contracts. Didn't someone say that what RFC has done was just shy (pardon the footballing pun) of match fixing? By Christ, it can't be by much with all this $hit about to hit the fan. RFC is and has been a rotten vessel with Captain Murray at the helm for the past 25 years.

mozam76 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The Daily Records lead story tomorrow will still be surrounding which player they'll sign, if the transfer embargo was to be overturned. Nothing to see here, shuffle on. I'm not usually one for hyperbole etc, but surely the time has now come for there to be a totally independent inquiry into what must be one of the most shameful football episodes, Europe-wide. Either that, or just kill the fuckers. Bullet, square between the eyes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) This was on the Rangers Tax Case blog a couple of days ago: ... My thoughts on how this will most likely end are laid out below.Talk of a CVA is just window dressing to appease the less realistic element of the Rangers support. Whyte can pledge his shares in the club for £2 safe in the knowledge that a CVA is not going to happen. (Strictly speaking, Whyte himself can always scupper a CVA). We are heading for a newco of some description. The key point, Mr. Doncaster, is whether Craig Whyte’s floating charge is still meaningful. If it is (and people with more advanced legal training than me cannot find a consensus on whether it will be) Whyte will be content to let this drama unfold. His friends at Duff & Phelps will continue to potter about while reality continues to sink in with the wider Rangers support. In the end, Whyte will play his trump card and call in a receiver who will sell all of Rangers’ assets to a newco for a sum that will go entirely to Whyte- stuffing all of the other creditors. A plan to achieve this outcome would explain a lot of Duff & Phelps’ actions over the last few months... Emphasis mine. Is he saying that they are basically playing for time, D&P, in order to let Whyte carry out his scheme (and in doing so shaft the other creditors)? I mean, this is no surprise at all - I think 80% of the people on here had a similar vision of what was going on... but if D&P are that close to Whyte that they were also involved in Ticketus, then it really makes this an "almost certainly" rather than a "probably." Right? And if that is the case... how can D&P be reasonably said to be fulfilling the legal requirement of an administrator, which is to keep the club running as a going concern or, if that fails, maximise the creditors interests en masse (that is, without preference.) Right? edit: RTC blog link - http://rangerstaxcase.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/doncaster-dooms-spl/ Edited May 23, 2012 by Swampy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D+P replaced by end of week and replaced by what should have been inplace 3 months ago, something call ''an administrator'' - cue wholesale redundancies and liquidation inside a fortnight. No newco. No oldco. Just nothing left but ashes ^^^^^^^my hope and now best guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
