Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!

I see in the Sunday Post Lewis MacLeod has been linked with a move to Brentford. Burnley also linked.

Not to worry! Barca,Chelski and Bayern are just poised to swoop for MacLeodinho. The next great hope if the SMSM are to be believed. Not like that biased lot to make a royal erse of it, eh?

Makes little difference who comes in, the club that would like to sign Lewis MacLeod will try to attain him for as little as possible. As far as I'm aware the highest club that look to be interested are Everton. :)

Great being Evertons feeder club, innit?

We're Southamptons.

Everton also had an affiliate club in Dublin for many years - once called Everton, now Home Farm. Not drawing from a masive unionist population in north Dublin!

They may well have 'unionists' amongst their support - given that most English people support the union that is hardly surprising. I don't think that makes them a 'loyalist' club though.

So because both teams have large Irish followings Everton don't have a loyalist section that follows them. Looks like my Scouser friend who actually lived in Liverpool and mixed with such people is proven wrong.

The notion that Everton had or has a large loyalist following is absolute nonsense since Everton historically were the team in Liverpool that had the biggest Catholic support in the city. The lines became blurred in the 1960's with Liverpool's steady rise to greatness. The fact that Everton play in blue and Liverpool sing " you'll never walk alone"no doubt confuses people up here. It does seem strange given their backgrounds that Celtic fans feel a connection with Liverpool and Rangers have had a fairly long association with Everton, ironic really. Edited by Nipper

Does Everton's not also have a chapel within it's structure?

No.

There is a pretty decent Flute Band with Everton in their name.

I don't remember ever saying Everton were a Loyalist club but within the Loyalist community of Liverpool they are the team most of them follow.

If McDowall has 'reluctantly' taken charge of the first team why doesn't he tell the board he's changed his mind, given that in addition to McCoist being placed on gardening leave the other part of their 3 man team has now been reduced to running the under 20's then barred from the club for a period of time?

Refusing to do your duties can lead to him being dismissed ... whether or not the club want rid of him is debatable. They are trying to get of Durrant it seems.

It maybe short term until they can free up wages for a manager to step in ... Who knows.

Shortage of cash and McCoist's willingness to bleed dry the 'club' he professes to love is highly entertaining though.

He's employed to be assistant manager. I'd imagine that means he can't be forced to take what is in effect a promotion.

If they wanted rid if he declined to play the game he'd surely have to be paid his money?

Jackson still twittering on about Rangers' mess casting a shadow across the Scottish game I see, before he goes on to dismantle his own case by proving that it's really only Celtic that have been adversely affected.

I also enjoyed his suggestion that difficulties only began with Whyte, thus ignoring that only the ridiculous, suicidal management of Murray and friends, allowed him to get anywhere near the place.

Only the HMRC tax bill kept others from investing in 2012.

Rangers bank debt had been halved to under £18 million when Murray was forced to sell. That debt was easily manageable if the right people had been able to invest.

And that HMRC tax bill had nothing to do with those in charge of the club then?

Please don't answer by telling me the verdict reached on it. I already know it and it changes nothing regarding the suicidal running of the club under Murray.
