[~British Patriot~]

Just listened to the Chic Young / Tom English stuff from last night.

I actually don't mind Chic. Of course he's a bit of a wee tool, but I actually find myself often agreeing with him.

His defence of Smith was laughable though. He couldn't tackle any of English's points, other than by sycophantically further eulogising the great man. When English exposes that Chic has muddled the chronology, poor Chic's reduced to simply repeating that you can't criticise Walter, without suggesting why.

Walter Smith is stupid and greedy and it's good that such a perspective can now be heard, even if it turns the worlds of people like Chic Young, on their heads.

Paranoid.

Anyone got a link to this battle royale?

I embedded it early hours today, maybe 3 pages back ..

[wunfellaff]

here it is ...

Paranoid.

I've read back what I posted. Now, I'm pretty confident that my reading of the radio programme is about right, but anyone is of course free to disagree with it.

I'm really, really struggling to see how said reading revealed any evidence of paranoia though.

Care to explain how it in fact does, for me please?

[SheepAreRed]

Cant be bothered to read if its here but can someone explain what the 18m payment to King was from the dead club, that never appeared in the dead club accounts

Have our press asked that

Did Sportsound tonight mention what the SFA stance was

Is our game phucked unless us diddies protest

[Burma]

He'll do so when the spivs are out of Rangers

The spivs ARE rangers. And King is probably the biggest spiv of all. Or king of spivs if you will.

[dave.j]

The sfa quite rightly have not commented.

[wunfellaff]

Originally from the huddle board I think but reposted to my tic forum,

list of spivs linked in last 6 years to Ibrox.

long enough to have to use spoilers..

David Burnside [Mar 2007] UUP politician on the campaign trail, cynically duping the hunnic hoardes into boosting his Orange vote tally on polling day, by pretending he would be diverting the annual Walk down Edmiston Drive. He walked away.

Dave King [sep 2009] Sequestered, fraudulent, South African tax evader, arrested and charged with 11 counts of corruption, fraud, tax evasion and bribery, as well as an additional 311 counts of racketeering, money-laundering, and exchange control infringements. He walked away.

Graham Duffy [Nov 2009] Sequestered Walter Mitty with a 45,000 x £1000 pie-in-the-sky pipe dream. Step, back, from, the, glue, pot. He walked away.

Andrew Ellis [Mar 2010] Twice failed football executive and carpet-bagging property developer, with a dubious business record, and a consistent record of attempting to asset-strip his acquisitions, who after buying QPR for £9m in 2001, tried to amalgamate them with Fulham, sell both stadiums for property developments, and move the new club 20 miles away, out to Heathrow Airport. After failing with that venture, in 2002, he bought League One club Northampton Town for £500,000, took over as chairman, and attempted to merge them with nearby MK Dons. Quelle surprise he sought to sell both stadiums for redevelopment as part of his property portfolio. Once again, he failed. Northampton got relegated that season. He walked away.

Jim McColl [Mar 2010] Messianically carried shoulder high to the Cashline outside Weir Pumps, by a deluded rabble of clueless, RST muppets despite his company being fined and subjected to a £13.9m confiscation order after admitting breaking UN sanctions in an Edinburgh High Court case, after filtering £3.1m in illegal kickbacks to Saddam Husseins regime between 2000 and 2002, on top of the commission it paid to supply pumps and pipelines to the Iraqi oil and gas industry. He walked away.

Dave King (Again !!) [May 2010] This time the sequestered, fraudulent, racketeering, tax evader has teamed up with financial tycoon Paul Murray and bus tycoon Douglas Park. Amazing the amount of tycoons that dont end up buying the ****. He walked away.

The Arab Consortium [Jun 2010] Some fictitious cabal of Dubai & Qatari mystery men that curiously, no-ones ever seen or heard of. So invisible in fact, its almost as if they were totally made up in the first place. Deffo a few invisible Arab tycoons in there. They walked away.

Vladimir Antonov [Aug 2010] The shady Russian underworld mafioso, in a £75m megadeal to launder his fithy ill-gotten gains. It remains as yet unknown whether or not he is a tycoon. He walked away.

Craig Whyte [Nov 2010] Billionaire whos got billions and billions and billions, but who cant afford to give them any kind of transfer kitty if he buys them. Strange that.

Wayhey, at last a buyer. Even though hes a fraudulent, banned, thieving, tax-evading, bankrupt sociopath who doesnt even own the roof on his own house.

Well, that went well. And so its back to the drawing board.

Brian Kennedy [Mar 2012] Another one bites the dust. The Hibs fan who didnt want to buy the club, but would buy it if he really, really had to and there was no other option available from anyone else, anywhere else. Talk about being damned by faint praise ?! Kennedy further boosted his standing by claiming that he would be bringing The Cardigan back with him as Director Of Football and The Beast back in a senior management role. Strangely, none of this ever happened. All the same, Kennedy must have been gutted with the amount of front page publicity that linking himself with the **** brought to his rugby club, his business interests and his personal profile. He walked away. He came back and joined The Blue Knights Consortium. He walked away again.

Ali Rafat Rizvi [Mar 2012] The on-the-run convicted fraudster on Interpols Most Wanted list currently being hunted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime over his role in the collapse of Bank Century in Indonesia, which crashed owing monumental debts. Rizvi was sentenced in absentia, to a 15-year jail term in Indonesia. He is currently believed to be hiding between addresses in London and Singapore, which have no extradition treaties with Indonesia. Interpols website carries a Red Notice (International Alert) stating that Rizvi is Wanted, and asks anyone with any information about his whereabouts or activities to contact police immediately. In a three-way conference call with Craig Whyte and Brian Stcockbridge (soon to be Sevco Finance Director), Imran Ahmad (soon to be Sevco Commercial Director) admitted that he had raised a £5.5m investment from Rizvi, but that all questions regarding his involvement had to be met with silence and denial; there must be no paper trails; and that his identity had to be concealed at all costs. Rizvi has previous business links with Ahmad and Stockbridge dating back to when they worked for London finance firm Allenby Capital. He is also a friend and business partner of Charles Green, who took his place on the board of Mongolia-based company Nova Resources. It is not known whether Rivzi walked or ran away, but its strongly rumoured that he still has a major share investment in The The Sevco5088 International FC Ltd without the knowledge of the fans, who still dont know the names and identities of the individuals hiding behind the faceless companies and lawyer fronts, who own around 33% of the new club.

Club 9 Sports [Mar 2012] The shady Chicago-based, carpet-bagging, asset-strippers in it for everything including the kitchen sink, owned by the limited liability company, Prometheus Capital Partners. Through its subsidary Club 9 Sports, PCP has previously attempted to buy stakes in Tranmere Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday that were ultimately fruitless and totally doomed from the outset. Sheffield Wednesday directors turned down an offer, claiming the Chicago firm wanted £420,000 per year in management fees. This stance was backed up by The Co-op, who agreed that the deal was not in the best interests of the club. Strange right enough that things didnt progress at Ibrox, as Prometheus describes itself on its own website as a company specialising in distressed situations and turnarounds, restructurings and mergers & acquisitions. They walked away.

Douglas Park [Mar 2012] In it for the publicity and not much else. He walked away.

Some unheard of, unknown, unidentified Middle East Consortium [Mar 2012] A Duff & Duffer media plant, to keep the pitchfork-wielding knuckldraggers away from 150 Edmiston Drive.

Some unheard of, unknown, unidentified German Consortium [Mar 2012] See Middle East Consortium (above).

The New American Consortium [Mar 2012] Headed up by Bill Miller, the shady Chicago-based asset-stripper who broke away from the Club 9 Sports Consortium. Millers disastrous move into US motor racing in 2001, withTeam Racing Auto Circuit (TRAC) and billed as a move that would rival NASCAR crashed and burned before its first race. In February 2004, Miller faced a massive legal action by shareholders who claimed to have been duped to the tune of £32m. Named in the suit were Miller, ex-chief executive of Team Sports Entertainment, and Jon Pritchett, ex-president. Pritchett along with John Prutch, runs Prometheus, the parent company of asset-strippers Club 9 Sports. The lawsuit was settled a year later and after a great deal of legal wrangling, out of court for an unknown amount. At the time, shareholder Edward Garland said of Miller: The company and its directors thought they were getting an experienced CEO. Instead it got a man full of greed who wanted control of the company for himself. Team Sports Entertainment changed names but is now bankrupt. More recently, Miller agreed to fund another of Pritchetts schemes, a Club 9 Sports plan to relocate a minor league hockey side. But the plan fell through because they could not strike a deal to set up a local sporting arena that would have required a £700,000 up-front investment. They walked away. Bill Miller came back again. He walked away again.

Paul Murrays Blue Knights [Apr 2012] They walked away. They came back. They walked away again. They came back again, this time backed by Brian Kennedy, who himself walked away twice. They walked away again.

The Singapore Consortium [Apr 2012] Headed up by a man ominously named as Bill Ng (Bill-ing) who stated his principal aims were to to put Singapore on the world football map and to positively impact Singapore football in the long run. Mr Ng also stated that: The weakness lies in the people who run the club and I feel that we can do something better. Weve told the administrators that well set aside £12 million to be split among the creditors. For every dollar of debt the club owes, about 20 cents will be paid back, while the rest will be written off. Although only a Rankers fan for some 10 minutes, Mr Ng has taken to the **** primary virtue of avoiding paying your debts like a duck to water. He walked away.

Donald Trump [May 2012] The man with the Weetabix heid briefly considered buying the Zombie Club after DeadCo 1872 collapsed and died. However, once he got a snifter of the extent of the clubs financial depravity, he put on his Nike trainers and ran for the hills. From their luxury golf course and international spa resort at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, George Sorial, Trump Organisations executive vice-president stated, We looked seriously and walked away. It just did not make sense to us, although they are a great club. We hope someone steps in and builds the team again. We are committed to Scotland and will always be evaluating opportunities to support our business and the interests of Scotland. You know youre seriously up shampoo creek when genuine billionaires wont spend mere small change on you. He walked away.

Bill Miller [May 2012] He came back again. He got preferred bidder status. He got his first proper look at the books. He trucked off.

Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani [May 2012] Pretend lawyer Giovanni di Stefano, wannabe best friend of Bosnian war criminals Radovan Karadic & Radko Mladic, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Ian Brady, Harold Shipman, Gary Glitter and one of the biggest whackball moon units walking the earth says hes the man with the plan, and it involves spending The Emir of Qatars money for him. Part of Di Stefanos masterplan is to take the Zombie club into the English Premiership and reunite them with 45-year-old Paul Gascoigne, wholl be pulling the boots back on, once hes had his hip replacement op. It is unknown at this stage if a fishing rod, dressing gown and whole roast chicken feature anywhere in the equation ? He walked away. To jail actually, when he was sentenced to 14 years, after being convicted of 25 counts of fraud, money laundering and forgery.

Paul Murrays Blue Knights (Again !!) [May 2012] They came back again, with the same pathetic worthless offer. They issued a deadline and tried to coerce Duff & Duffer into selling to them. Duff & Duffer told them to sling it. Brian Kennedy whinged a lot in the media, before being slated by Charles Green and Duff & Duffer who called him a fantasist with delusions of grandeur. Kennedy responded by saying he had The Beast and The Cardigan on board (The Beast denied this was true) in the vain hope that he might get the knuckledraggers to intimidate Duff & Duffer. It never worked. They walked away again. They never came back.

Charles Green [May 2012] Finally someone came forward with a workable, or so he thought, plan to buy the impoverished and disgraced club. After a failed CVA proposal, unanimously rejected by angry creditors in a hostile meeting lasting just NINE minutes, the club formerly known as Rangers Football Club plc was liquidated. The remnants of the old club were picked up for £5.5m by Charles Greens Sevco 5088 Ltd in order that he may create a new football club, although his woes continued when the knuckledraggers refused to offer him any form of support, confidence or financial backing. The zombie club was awarded the transitional title of Club 12 by the SPL and still awaits a number of outcomes and punishments pertaining to a number of previous instances of rule-breaking, tax evasion, improper governance, illicit payments, illegal player registrations and allegations of criminality. As it stands, its up for sale to anyone with a masochistic interest in losing a vast amount of money in record time.

Walter Smith [June 2012] Supported by Douglas Park (again !!) and Jim McColl (again !!) he tried to wrest control of the club away from Charles Green with a heavy dose of intimidation, threats from the knuckledraggers that they wouldnt renew their season tickets, and a planted media scare story that Green was hatching a shady plot to sack SuperSally. None of it worked, and The Cardigan was shown up for the shampooe-stirring pish-talker that he really is. They walked away.

Allan Stewart and Steve McKenna [June 2012] Shady property-developers whose have the exact skills the zombie club are looking for. Their company (Stewart & McKenna Ltd set up in Cambuslang in 2005) was liquidated in 2010 by insolvency practitioners Buchanan Roxburgh over non-payment of, yep youve guessed it TAXES !! In 2007, the partners claimed they had made £134million the previous year after selling 14,000 flats worldwide. At this point, it dawned on them that theyd need a £30m life-support machine, just to keep the zombie clubs flimsy pulse alive. They walked away.

John Brown and Donald Findlay [June 2012] He came, he made a red neck of a slurred Braveheart speech oot the side ae his moof, he did not a lot else. He walked away with his tail between his legs.

Craig Mather and Guy Gisbourne [July 2012] Part of the Charles Green magical mystery tour of names and games, places and faces. Emotionally invested a colossal £1m between them, with a view to developing The Murray Park Conveyor Belt Of Talent.

Brian Kennedy (Again !!) [July 2012] The quiet, reticent, modest, humble, publicity-shy introvert who thinks hes Mel Gibson (© Charles Green) is back again for the fifth or is it tenth time, with a bid to buy Sevco 5088 Ltds controlling interest in the Zombie ****. As Sevco are totally rooked, cant sell more than a few thousand cut-price, bargain basement season tickets, and are currently trying to flog shares in the zombie club to the highest bidder, it was thought he may just be in with a shout until Charles Green publicly rubbished his latest claims. He walked away. Again. Although hell probably be back when he needs a tad more publicity.

Charles Green [April 2013] After buying the dead **** for a pittance, Chuckles promised the knuckledraggers the earth. His new zombie club would be the greatest team in Europe and Sevco 5088 International Ltd would sweep through the stock exchange like a red, white & blue tsunami. Turnover would reach half a BILLION pounds in just five years and Chuckles, nursing a terrible case of Rangersitis, caught probably as he toured a number of warm places in February, would bring joy and happiness to the downtrodden zombies, when they raised aloft The Big Cup as the Champions League anthem blared in the background, and boomed out across the Glasgow skyline. Talent academies would be opened across the globe, from America to Australia; and Sevco would form brand partnerships with Adidas, Apple and the Dallas Cowboys. At its peak, 7% of the population of the earth would support Sevco and they would raise £100m in digital revenues alone. Well maybe not quite. After being uncovered as Govans answer to Arfur Daley and amidst a rather embarrassing racial episode that saw the Sevco share price plummet like the Blackpool Big One .. he walked away.

Well, that went well. It lasted all of 10 months. And so its back to the drawing board.

James & Sandy Easdale [April 2013] Scrap metal dealers from Greenock who moved up the ladder to become taxi operators, before moving up the ladder to become bus operators with McGills Buses. In between their meteoric rise to stratospheric stardom down Inverclyde way, Sandie found time to be convicted of VAT fraud and sentenced to 27 months in jail after he had the audacity to avoid paying duty on various computer parts that were stolen from IBM and David Murrays Mimtec corporation. It is as yet unknown at this stage whether they will walk away, phone a taxi, or take the bus ?

Colin Kingsnorth [June 2013] Isle Of Man-based millionaire (seems such an inadequate title these days) hedge fund manager, finance shark and activist investor with a background in boardroom wars who heads up Laxey Partners, vies for control of Basket Case FC, by snapping up a whopping ONE PER CENT of the sinking ship for £350,000. Two months later the financial maestros shareholding was worth a whopping £285,714. With financial wizards like this, its no wonder the economy is effed up beyond all recognition.

Kieran Prior [June 2013] The financial guru that makes Warren Buffet look like the guy that runs the school tuck shop. The mathematical genius that makes Stephen Hawking look like a desk scribbler in a remedial class. The cyborg android that makes The Six Million Dollar Man look like a wooden stickman. With his trusty sword of truth and his trusty broom of bristley sweepy things, he aims to fight for justice and transparency on behalf of ra bears, and to sweep out the pirates and bandits from The Blue Room. Moaning that Dave King, tax-evader extraordinaire, is daring to try and gazump him for control of The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd; grumbling that Jim McColl wont put his money where his mouth is; and whining that trying to buy Greens 5,000,000 shares on the cheap was like trying to negotiate with a chimpanzee for a banana, the blue Davros is hoping that winning over ra bears (try some triumphalist sectarian soundbites Kieran) and some false promises of a new dawn will win the day. If he could walk away, he probably would.

Charles Green [August 2013] He came back as a paid consultant. Casual racism and Hans Christian Andersen-esque tall tales conveniently forgotten, he arrived just in time to count the season ticket cash; at the same time warning Fat Sally that he must do better than picking up a basement-level trophy with an SPFL squad. He saw off The Cardigan, who has never had the stomach for a proper fight, and set about ruffling as many blue feathers as he could. Sadly for Chuckles, ra bearz want him O O T .. OOT .. and his final task will be to make an absolute killing on the shareholding he got for buttons.

Jim McColl [August 2013] The billionairest billionaire in Scotland, who owns marginally less shares in The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd than wee Senga fae Brigton came back. He made some noises and did nothing. He was challenged to put his money where his mouth is, but hes really not too keen on doing that, so he made some more noises and kinda shuffled around in the background. Given the state of Basket Case FC, and their ever dwindling finances, its hard to disagree.

Frank Blin [August 2013] He never got as far as the front door, before deciding that his future lay very, very, very far away from the looney tunes, shysters and utter effing morons populating The Death Star boardroom. He walked away, faster than his feet could carry him.

Iain McMillan [september 2013] The Labour councillor from Johnstone who won £2,058,622 on the National Lottery, and claimed the first thing hed do was Invest some money in Ibrox and get a plaque there, with my name on it. Someone better inform Mr McMillan that £2m doesnt go very far at all these days down Edmiston Drive way. The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd have spunked over £30m in EIGHT MONTHS !! If hes not careful, he might indeed end up walking away literally.

Paul Murray [Oct 2013] Apparently now spearheading Jim McColls rebel consortium, this guy deserves a medal if only for his colossal ability to stand around whilst doing eff all and talking a good game. The latest lot of bollocks announced on the day The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd declared losses of £14.4m in a trading period of just 13 months, includes former Chairman Malcolm Murray, stabbed in the back by Walter Smith and then axed after a bitter and long-running feud with Charles Green; Global property guru and former Blue Knight Scott Murdoch (the mastermind behind the sell & leaseback asset-stripping proposal being lauded for Ibrox and Auchenhowie); Ex-Ford, Diageo & BT cost-slasher, Alex Wilson; two unknowns called Ian Cormack & John Graham; and some bean-counter from Liverpool called Christian Purslow who according to Keech Jackshun, has also been lined up for a key position on the board and would be joining in a senior executive role and tasked with leading the new regime. And lets face it Keechs a man who knows his thousandaires and wealth radar scales better than any of us.

Dave King (Again !!) (Again !!) [Oct 2013]

To be continued .. Thats for effing sure.

[Umbungo1874]

Originally from the huddle board I think but reposted to my tic forum,

list of spivs linked in last 6 years to Ibrox.

long enough to have to use spoilers..

David Burnside [Mar 2007] UUP politician on the campaign trail, cynically duping the hunnic hoardes into boosting his Orange vote tally on polling day, by pretending he would be diverting the annual Walk down Edmiston Drive. He walked away.

Dave King [sep 2009] Sequestered, fraudulent, South African tax evader, arrested and charged with 11 counts of corruption, fraud, tax evasion and bribery, as well as an additional 311 counts of racketeering, money-laundering, and exchange control infringements. He walked away.

Graham Duffy [Nov 2009] Sequestered Walter Mitty with a 45,000 x £1000 pie-in-the-sky pipe dream. Step, back, from, the, glue, pot. He walked away.

Andrew Ellis [Mar 2010] Twice failed football executive and carpet-bagging property developer, with a dubious business record, and a consistent record of attempting to asset-strip his acquisitions, who after buying QPR for £9m in 2001, tried to amalgamate them with Fulham, sell both stadiums for property developments, and move the new club 20 miles away, out to Heathrow Airport.

He walked away.

Dave King (Again !!) [May 2010] This time the sequestered, fraudulent, racketeering, tax evader has teamed up with financial tycoon Paul Murray and bus tycoon Douglas Park. Amazing the amount of tycoons that dont end up buying the ****. He walked away.

The Arab Consortium [Jun 2010] Some fictitious cabal of Dubai & Qatari mystery men that curiously, no-ones ever seen or heard of. So invisible in fact, its almost as if they were totally made up in the first place. Deffo a few invisible Arab tycoons in there. They walked away.

Vladimir Antonov [Aug 2010] The shady Russian underworld mafioso, in a £75m megadeal to launder his fithy ill-gotten gains. It remains as yet unknown whether or not he is a tycoon. He walked away.

Craig Whyte [Nov 2010] Billionaire whos got billions and billions and billions, but who cant afford to give them any kind of transfer kitty if he buys them. Strange that.

Wayhey, at last a buyer. Even though hes a fraudulent, banned, thieving, tax-evading, bankrupt sociopath who doesnt even own the roof on his own house.

Well, that went well. And so its back to the drawing board.

Brian Kennedy [Mar 2012] Another one bites the dust. The Hibs fan who didnt want to buy the club, but would buy it if he really, really had to and there was no other option available from anyone else, anywhere else. Talk about being damned by faint praise ?! Kennedy further boosted his standing by claiming that he would be bringing The Cardigan back with him as Director Of Football and The Beast back in a senior management role. Strangely, none of this ever happened. All the same, Kennedy must have been gutted with the amount of front page publicity that linking himself with the **** brought to his rugby club, his business interests and his personal profile. He walked away. He came back and joined The Blue Knights Consortium. He walked away again.

Ali Rafat Rizvi [Mar 2012] The on-the-run convicted fraudster on Interpols Most Wanted list currently being hunted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime over his role in the collapse of Bank Century in Indonesia, which crashed owing monumental debts. Rizvi was sentenced in absentia, to a 15-year jail term in Indonesia. He is currently believed to be hiding between addresses in London and Singapore, which have no extradition treaties with Indonesia. Interpols website carries a Red Notice (International Alert) stating that Rizvi is Wanted, and asks anyone with any information about his whereabouts or activities to contact police immediately.

Rizvi has previous business links with Ahmad and Stockbridge dating back to when they worked for London finance firm Allenby Capital. He is also a friend and business partner of Charles Green, who took his place on the board of Mongolia-based company Nova Resources. It is not known whether Rivzi walked or ran away, but its strongly rumoured that he still has a major share investment in The The Sevco5088 International FC Ltd without the knowledge of the fans, who still dont know the names and identities of the individuals hiding behind the faceless companies and lawyer fronts, who own around 33% of the new club.

Club 9 Sports [Mar 2012] The shady Chicago-based, carpet-bagging, asset-strippers in it for everything including the kitchen sink, owned by the limited liability company, Prometheus Capital Partners. Through its subsidary Club 9 Sports, PCP has previously attempted to buy stakes in Tranmere Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday that were ultimately fruitless and totally doomed from the outset. Sheffield Wednesday directors turned down an offer, claiming the Chicago firm wanted £420,000 per year in management fees.

Strange right enough that things didnt progress at Ibrox, as Prometheus describes itself on its own website as a company specialising in distressed situations and turnarounds, restructurings and mergers & acquisitions. They walked away.

Douglas Park [Mar 2012] In it for the publicity and not much else. He walked away.

Some unheard of, unknown, unidentified Middle East Consortium [Mar 2012] A Duff & Duffer media plant, to keep the pitchfork-wielding knuckldraggers away from 150 Edmiston Drive.

Some unheard of, unknown, unidentified German Consortium [Mar 2012] See Middle East Consortium (above).

The New American Consortium [Mar 2012] Headed up by Bill Miller, the shady Chicago-based asset-stripper who broke away from the Club 9 Sports Consortium. Millers disastrous move into US motor racing in 2001, withTeam Racing Auto Circuit (TRAC) and billed as a move that would rival NASCAR crashed and burned before its first race.

More recently, Miller agreed to fund another of Pritchetts schemes, a Club 9 Sports plan to relocate a minor league hockey side. But the plan fell through because they could not strike a deal to set up a local sporting arena that would have required a £700,000 up-front investment. They walked away. Bill Miller came back again. He walked away again.

Paul Murrays Blue Knights [Apr 2012] They walked away. They came back. They walked away again. They came back again, this time backed by Brian Kennedy, who himself walked away twice. They walked away again.

The Singapore Consortium [Apr 2012] Headed up by a man ominously named as Bill Ng (Bill-ing) who stated his principal aims were to to put Singapore on the world football map and to positively impact Singapore football in the long run. Mr Ng also stated that: The weakness lies in the people who run the club and I feel that we can do something better. Weve told the administrators that well set aside £12 million to be split among the creditors. For every dollar of debt the club owes, about 20 cents will be paid back, while the rest will be written off. Although only a Rankers fan for some 10 minutes, Mr Ng has taken to the **** primary virtue of avoiding paying your debts like a duck to water. He walked away.

Donald Trump [May 2012] The man with the Weetabix heid briefly considered buying the Zombie Club after DeadCo 1872 collapsed and died. However, once he got a snifter of the extent of the clubs financial depravity, he put on his Nike trainers and ran for the hills. From their luxury golf course and international spa resort at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, George Sorial, Trump Organisations executive vice-president stated, We looked seriously and walked away. It just did not make sense to us, although they are a great club. We hope someone steps in and builds the team again. We are committed to Scotland and will always be evaluating opportunities to support our business and the interests of Scotland. You know youre seriously up shampoo creek when genuine billionaires wont spend mere small change on you. He walked away.

Bill Miller [May 2012] He came back again. He got preferred bidder status. He got his first proper look at the books. He trucked off.

Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani [May 2012] Pretend lawyer Giovanni di Stefano, wannabe best friend of Bosnian war criminals Radovan Karadic & Radko Mladic, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Ian Brady, Harold Shipman, Gary Glitter and one of the biggest whackball moon units walking the earth says hes the man with the plan, and it involves spending The Emir of Qatars money for him. Part of Di Stefanos masterplan is to take the Zombie club into the English Premiership and reunite them with 45-year-old Paul Gascoigne, wholl be pulling the boots back on, once hes had his hip replacement op. It is unknown at this stage if a fishing rod, dressing gown and whole roast chicken feature anywhere in the equation ? He walked away. To jail actually, when he was sentenced to 14 years, after being convicted of 25 counts of fraud, money laundering and forgery.

Paul Murrays Blue Knights (Again !!) [May 2012] They came back again, with the same pathetic worthless offer. They issued a deadline and tried to coerce Duff & Duffer into selling to them. Duff & Duffer told them to sling it. Brian Kennedy whinged a lot in the media, before being slated by Charles Green and Duff & Duffer who called him a fantasist with delusions of grandeur. Kennedy responded by saying he had The Beast and The Cardigan on board (The Beast denied this was true) in the vain hope that he might get the knuckledraggers to intimidate Duff & Duffer. It never worked. They walked away again. They never came back.

Charles Green [May 2012] Finally someone came forward with a workable, or so he thought, plan to buy the impoverished and disgraced club. After a failed CVA proposal, unanimously rejected by angry creditors in a hostile meeting lasting just NINE minutes, the club formerly known as Rangers Football Club plc was liquidated. The remnants of the old club were picked up for £5.5m by Charles Greens Sevco 5088 Ltd in order that he may create a new football club, although his woes continued when the knuckledraggers refused to offer him any form of support, confidence or financial backing. The zombie club was awarded the transitional title of Club 12 by the SPL and still awaits a number of outcomes and punishments pertaining to a number of previous instances of rule-breaking, tax evasion, improper governance, illicit payments, illegal player registrations and allegations of criminality. As it stands, its up for sale to anyone with a masochistic interest in losing a vast amount of money in record time.

Walter Smith [June 2012] Supported by Douglas Park (again !!) and Jim McColl (again !!) he tried to wrest control of the club away from Charles Green with a heavy dose of intimidation, threats from the knuckledraggers that they wouldnt renew their season tickets, and a planted media scare story that Green was hatching a shady plot to sack SuperSally. None of it worked, and The Cardigan was shown up for the shampooe-stirring pish-talker that he really is. They walked away.

Allan Stewart and Steve McKenna [June 2012] Shady property-developers whose have the exact skills the zombie club are looking for. Their company (Stewart & McKenna Ltd set up in Cambuslang in 2005) was liquidated in 2010 by insolvency practitioners Buchanan Roxburgh over non-payment of, yep youve guessed it TAXES !! In 2007, the partners claimed they had made £134million the previous year after selling 14,000 flats worldwide. At this point, it dawned on them that theyd need a £30m life-support machine, just to keep the zombie clubs flimsy pulse alive. They walked away.

John Brown and Donald Findlay [June 2012] He came, he made a red neck of a slurred Braveheart speech oot the side ae his moof, he did not a lot else. He walked away with his tail between his legs.

Craig Mather and Guy Gisbourne [July 2012] Part of the Charles Green magical mystery tour of names and games, places and faces. Emotionally invested a colossal £1m between them, with a view to developing The Murray Park Conveyor Belt Of Talent.

Brian Kennedy (Again !!) [July 2012] The quiet, reticent, modest, humble, publicity-shy introvert who thinks hes Mel Gibson (© Charles Green) is back again for the fifth or is it tenth time, with a bid to buy Sevco 5088 Ltds controlling interest in the Zombie ****. As Sevco are totally rooked, cant sell more than a few thousand cut-price, bargain basement season tickets, and are currently trying to flog shares in the zombie club to the highest bidder, it was thought he may just be in with a shout until Charles Green publicly rubbished his latest claims. He walked away. Again. Although hell probably be back when he needs a tad more publicity.

Charles Green [April 2013] After buying the dead **** for a pittance, Chuckles promised the knuckledraggers the earth. His new zombie club would be the greatest team in Europe and Sevco 5088 International Ltd would sweep through the stock exchange like a red, white & blue tsunami. Turnover would reach half a BILLION pounds in just five years and Chuckles, nursing a terrible case of Rangersitis, caught probably as he toured a number of warm places in February, would bring joy and happiness to the downtrodden zombies, when they raised aloft The Big Cup as the Champions League anthem blared in the background, and boomed out across the Glasgow skyline. Talent academies would be opened across the globe, from America to Australia; and Sevco would form brand partnerships with Adidas, Apple and the Dallas Cowboys. At its peak, 7% of the population of the earth would support Sevco and they would raise £100m in digital revenues alone. Well maybe not quite. After being uncovered as Govans answer to Arfur Daley and amidst a rather embarrassing racial episode that saw the Sevco share price plummet like the Blackpool Big One .. he walked away.

Well, that went well. It lasted all of 10 months. And so its back to the drawing board.

James & Sandy Easdale [April 2013] Scrap metal dealers from Greenock who moved up the ladder to become taxi operators, before moving up the ladder to become bus operators with McGills Buses. In between their meteoric rise to stratospheric stardom down Inverclyde way, Sandie found time to be convicted of VAT fraud and sentenced to 27 months in jail after he had the audacity to avoid paying duty on various computer parts that were stolen from IBM and David Murrays Mimtec corporation. It is as yet unknown at this stage whether they will walk away, phone a taxi, or take the bus ?

Colin Kingsnorth [June 2013] Isle Of Man-based millionaire (seems such an inadequate title these days) hedge fund manager, finance shark and activist investor with a background in boardroom wars who heads up Laxey Partners, vies for control of Basket Case FC, by snapping up a whopping ONE PER CENT of the sinking ship for £350,000. Two months later the financial maestros shareholding was worth a whopping £285,714. With financial wizards like this, its no wonder the economy is effed up beyond all recognition.

Kieran Prior [June 2013] The financial guru that makes Warren Buffet look like the guy that runs the school tuck shop. The mathematical genius that makes Stephen Hawking look like a desk scribbler in a remedial class. The cyborg android that makes The Six Million Dollar Man look like a wooden stickman. With his trusty sword of truth and his trusty broom of bristley sweepy things, he aims to fight for justice and transparency on behalf of ra bears, and to sweep out the pirates and bandits from The Blue Room. Moaning that Dave King, tax-evader extraordinaire, is daring to try and gazump him for control of The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd; grumbling that Jim McColl wont put his money where his mouth is; and whining that trying to buy Greens 5,000,000 shares on the cheap was like trying to negotiate with a chimpanzee for a banana, the blue Davros is hoping that winning over ra bears (try some triumphalist sectarian soundbites Kieran) and some false promises of a new dawn will win the day. If he could walk away, he probably would.

Charles Green [August 2013] He came back as a paid consultant. Casual racism and Hans Christian Andersen-esque tall tales conveniently forgotten, he arrived just in time to count the season ticket cash; at the same time warning Fat Sally that he must do better than picking up a basement-level trophy with an SPFL squad. He saw off The Cardigan, who has never had the stomach for a proper fight, and set about ruffling as many blue feathers as he could. Sadly for Chuckles, ra bearz want him O O T .. OOT .. and his final task will be to make an absolute killing on the shareholding he got for buttons.

Jim McColl [August 2013] The billionairest billionaire in Scotland, who owns marginally less shares in The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd than wee Senga fae Brigton came back. He made some noises and did nothing. He was challenged to put his money where his mouth is, but hes really not too keen on doing that, so he made some more noises and kinda shuffled around in the background. Given the state of Basket Case FC, and their ever dwindling finances, its hard to disagree.

Frank Blin [August 2013] He never got as far as the front door, before deciding that his future lay very, very, very far away from the looney tunes, shysters and utter effing morons populating The Death Star boardroom. He walked away, faster than his feet could carry him.

Iain McMillan [september 2013] The Labour councillor from Johnstone who won £2,058,622 on the National Lottery, and claimed the first thing hed do was Invest some money in Ibrox and get a plaque there, with my name on it. Someone better inform Mr McMillan that £2m doesnt go very far at all these days down Edmiston Drive way. The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd have spunked over £30m in EIGHT MONTHS !! If hes not careful, he might indeed end up walking away literally.

Paul Murray [Oct 2013] Apparently now spearheading Jim McColls rebel consortium, this guy deserves a medal if only for his colossal ability to stand around whilst doing eff all and talking a good game. The latest lot of bollocks announced on the day The The Sevco Rangers New Club 2012 International Ltd declared losses of £14.4m in a trading period of just 13 months, includes former Chairman Malcolm Murray, stabbed in the back by Walter Smith and then axed after a bitter and long-running feud with Charles Green; Global property guru and former Blue Knight Scott Murdoch (the mastermind behind the sell & leaseback asset-stripping proposal being lauded for Ibrox and Auchenhowie); Ex-Ford, Diageo & BT cost-slasher, Alex Wilson; two unknowns called Ian Cormack & John Graham; and some bean-counter from Liverpool called Christian Purslow who according to Keech Jackshun, has also been lined up for a key position on the board and would be joining in a senior executive role and tasked with leading the new regime. And lets face it Keechs a man who knows his thousandaires and wealth radar scales better than any of us.

Dave King (Again !!) (Again !!) [Oct 2013]

To be continued .. Thats for effing sure.

Edited October 10, 2013 by Umbungo1874

[GreenockRover]

Originally from the huddle board I think but reposted to my tic forum,

list of spivs linked in last 6 years to Ibrox.

long enough to have to use spoilers..

David Burnside [Mar 2007] UUP politician on the campaign trail, cynically duping the hunnic hoardes into boosting his Orange vote tally on polling day, by pretending he would be diverting the annual Walk down Edmiston Drive. He walked away.

Dave King [sep 2009] Sequestered, fraudulent, South African tax evader, arrested and charged with 11 counts of corruption, fraud, tax evasion and bribery, as well as an additional 311 counts of racketeering, money-laundering, and exchange control infringements. He walked away.

Graham Duffy [Nov 2009] Sequestered Walter Mitty with a 45,000 x £1000 pie-in-the-sky pipe dream. Step, back, from, the, glue, pot. He walked away.

Andrew Ellis [Mar 2010] Twice failed football executive and carpet-bagging property developer, with a dubious business record, and a consistent record of attempting to asset-strip his acquisitions, who after buying QPR for £9m in 2001, tried to amalgamate them with Fulham, sell both stadiums for property developments, and move the new club 20 miles away, out to Heathrow Airport. After failing with that venture, in 2002, he bought League One club Northampton Town for £500,000, took over as chairman, and attempted to merge them with nearby MK Dons. Quelle surprise he sought to sell both stadiums for redevelopment as part of his property portfolio. Once again, he failed. Northampton got relegated that season. He walked away.

Jim McColl [Mar 2010] Messianically carried shoulder high to the Cashline outside Weir Pumps, by a deluded rabble of clueless, RST muppets despite his company being fined and subjected to a £13.9m confiscation order after admitting breaking UN sanctions in an Edinburgh High Court case, after filtering £3.1m in illegal kickbacks to Saddam Husseins regime between 2000 and 2002, on top of the commission it paid to supply pumps and pipelines to the Iraqi oil and gas industry. He walked away.

Dave King (Again !!) [May 2010] This time the sequestered, fraudulent, racketeering, tax evader has teamed up with financial tycoon Paul Murray and bus tycoon Douglas Park. Amazing the amount of tycoons that dont end up buying the ****. He walked away.

The Arab Consortium [Jun 2010] Some fictitious cabal of Dubai & Qatari mystery men that curiously, no-ones ever seen or heard of. So invisible in fact, its almost as if they were totally made up in the first place. Deffo a few invisible Arab tycoons in there. They walked away.

Vladimir Antonov [Aug 2010] The shady Russian underworld mafioso, in a £75m megadeal to launder his fithy ill-gotten gains. It remains as yet unknown whether or not he is a tycoon. He walked away.

Craig Whyte [Nov 2010] Billionaire whos got billions and billions and billions, but who cant afford to give them any kind of transfer kitty if he buys them. Strange that.

Wayhey, at last a buyer. Even though hes a fraudulent, banned, thieving, tax-evading, bankrupt sociopath who doesnt even own the roof on his own house.

Well, that went well. And so its back to the drawing board.

Brian Kennedy [Mar 2012] Another one bites the dust. The Hibs fan who didnt want to buy the club, but would buy it if he really, really had to and there was no other option available from anyone else, anywhere else. Talk about being damned by faint praise ?! Kennedy further boosted his standing by claiming that he would be bringing The Cardigan back with him as Director Of Football and The Beast back in a senior management role. Strangely, none of this ever happened. All the same, Kennedy must have been gutted with the amount of front page publicity that linking himself with the **** brought to his rugby club, his business interests and his personal profile. He walked away. He came back and joined The Blue Knights Consortium. He walked away again.

Ali Rafat Rizvi [Mar 2012] The on-the-run convicted fraudster on Interpols Most Wanted list currently being hunted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime over his role in the collapse of Bank Century in Indonesia, which crashed owing monumental debts. Rizvi was sentenced in absentia, to a 15-year jail term in Indonesia. He is currently believed to be hiding between addresses in London and Singapore, which have no extradition treaties with Indonesia. Interpols website carries a Red Notice (International Alert) stating that Rizvi is Wanted, and asks anyone with any information about his whereabouts or activities to contact police immediately. In a three-way conference call with Craig Whyte and Brian Stcockbridge (soon to be Sevco Finance Director), Imran Ahmad (soon to be Sevco Commercial Director) admitted that he had raised a £5.5m investment from Rizvi, but that all questions regarding his involvement had to be met with silence and denial; there must be no paper trails; and that his identity had to be concealed at all costs. Rizvi has previous business links with Ahmad and Stockbridge dating back to when they worked for London finance firm Allenby Capital. He is also a friend and business partner of Charles Green, who took his place on the board of Mongolia-based company Nova Resources. It is not known whether Rivzi walked or ran away, but its strongly rumoured that he still has a major share investment in The The Sevco5088 International FC Ltd without the knowledge of the fans, who still dont know the names and identities of the individuals hiding behind the faceless companies and lawyer fronts, who own around 33% of the new club.

Club 9 Sports [Mar 2012] The shady Chicago-based, carpet-bagging, asset-strippers in it for everything including the kitchen sink, owned by the limited liability company, Prometheus Capital Partners. Through its subsidary Club 9 Sports, PCP has previously attempted to buy stakes in Tranmere Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday that were ultimately fruitless and totally doomed from the outset. Sheffield Wednesday directors turned down an offer, claiming the Chicago firm wanted £420,000 per year in management fees. This stance was backed up by The Co-op, who agreed that the deal was not in the best interests of the club. Strange right enough that things didnt progress at Ibrox, as Prometheus describes itself on its own website as a company specialising in distressed situations and turnarounds, restructurings and mergers & acquisitions. They walked away.

Douglas Park [Mar 2012] In it for the publicity and not much else. He walked away.

Some unheard of, unknown, unidentified Middle East Consortium [Mar 2012] A Duff & Duffer media plant, to keep the pitchfork-wielding knuckldraggers away from 150 Edmiston Drive.

Some unheard of, unknown, unidentified German Consortium [Mar 2012] See Middle East Consortium (above).

The New American Consortium [Mar 2012] Headed up by Bill Miller, the shady Chicago-based asset-stripper who broke away from the Club 9 Sports Consortium. Millers disastrous move into US motor racing in 2001, withTeam Racing Auto Circuit (TRAC) and billed as a move that would rival NASCAR crashed and burned before its first race. In February 2004, Miller faced a massive legal action by shareholders who claimed to have been duped to the tune of £32m. Named in the suit were Miller, ex-chief executive of Team Sports Entertainment, and Jon Pritchett, ex-president. Pritchett along with John Prutch, runs Prometheus, the parent company of asset-strippers Club 9 Sports. The lawsuit was settled a year later and after a great deal of legal wrangling, out of court for an unknown amount. At the time, shareholder Edward Garland said of Miller: The company and its directors thought they were getting an experienced CEO. Instead it got a man full of greed who wanted control of the company for himself. Team Sports Entertainment changed names but is now bankrupt. More recently, Miller agreed to fund another of Pritchetts schemes, a Club 9 Sports plan to relocate a minor league hockey side. But the plan fell through because they could not strike a deal to set up a local sporting arena that would have required a £700,000 up-front investment. They walked away. Bill Miller came back again. He walked away again.

Paul Murrays Blue Knights [Apr 2012] They walked away. They came back. They walked away again. They came back again, this time backed by Brian Kennedy, who himself walked away twice. They walked away again.

The Singapore Consortium [Apr 2012] Headed up by a man ominously named as Bill Ng (Bill-ing) who stated his principal aims were to to put Singapore on the world football map and to positively impact Singapore football in the long run. Mr Ng also stated that: The weakness lies in the people who run the club and I feel that we can do something better. Weve told the administrators that well set aside £12 million to be split among the creditors. For every dollar of debt the club owes, about 20 cents will be paid back, while the rest will be written off. Although only a Rankers fan for some 10 minutes, Mr Ng has taken to the **** primary virtue of avoiding paying your debts like a duck to water. He walked away.

Donald Trump [May 2012] The man with the Weetabix heid briefly considered buying the Zombie Club after DeadCo 1872 collapsed and died. However, once he got a snifter of the extent of the clubs financial depravity, he put on his Nike trainers and ran for the hills. From their luxury golf course and international spa resort at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, George Sorial, Trump Organisations executive vice-president stated, We looked seriously and walked away. It just did not make sense to us, although they are a great club. We hope someone steps in and builds the team again. We are committed to Scotland and will always be evaluating opportunities to support our business and the interests of Scotland. You know youre seriously up shampoo creek when genuine billionaires wont spend mere small change on you. He walked away.

Bill Miller [May 2012] He came back again. He got preferred bidder status. He got his first proper look at the books. He trucked off.

Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani [May 2012] Pretend lawyer Giovanni di Stefano, wannabe best friend of Bosnian war criminals Radovan Karadic & Radko Mladic, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Ian Brady, Harold Shipman, Gary Glitter and one of the biggest whackball moon units walking the earth says hes the man with the plan, and it involves spending The Emir of Qatars money for him. Part of Di Stefanos masterplan is to take the Zombie club into the English Premiership and reunite them with 45-year-old Paul Gascoigne, wholl be pulling the boots back on, once hes had his hip replacement op. It is unknown at this stage if a fishing rod, dressing gown and whole roast chicken feature anywhere in the equation ? He walked away.

Brian Kennedy (Again !!)

To be continued .. Thats for effing sure.

Laid out like that....... It's just mental.

Fitting as f**k for the Success At All Costs mentality

[bennett]

Originally from the huddle board I think but reposted to my tic forum,

list of spivs linked in last 6 years to Ibrox.

long enough to have to use spoilers..

Glasgowceltic.org by any chance?

[bennett]

Not quibbling with content shocker !!

Never clicked on it....

Wunf,

For some reason my iPad's not displaying your links you've put up.

Thanks though.

Edited October 10, 2013 by dave.j

The sfa quite rightly have not commented.

No surprise there. Can we remind them of thier own rules?

Classic Benny.

It's all a Timmy plot, I tell thee!

[~British Patriot~]

The **** on twitter seem worried about King coming back to Ibrox, why would this be?

[dave.j]

No surprise there. Can we remind them of thier own rules?
