Preffered bidder Miller walks away after one look at the books ( I dont buy the banners and emails smoescreen story)

Dulph & Phelps have "lined up" three new bidders in a matter of hours ?

What next ? Lord Lucan prances down Copland Rd on the back of a unicorn??

You couldnt make it up

Sad times for all

Bollox its sad times for all. Time to let the institution die.
 
He was never,ever going to be anything other than a preferred bidder.Was never going to get past that stage.

And there are no other parties waiting in the wings,a futile attempt to get the skint Blue Knights to up their money.

Rangers as we know them will play their last ever game on Sunday.

I would have posted all this a lot earlier but I couldn't see the screen for tears of laughter.:smirk:

The writing is on the wall now,I doubt the news could be any worse for the Huns if they were all told to go out and buy a bar of soap...

I was being sarcastic Chris....I thought that my type of putter may have been a clue

I had all streams of multimedia open last night alog with my popcorn to watch the circus..

I had finished all my jelly & Ice-cream at the weekend.
 
Duff and Phelps couldn't get laid at a nymphomaniacs' convention in a bed showroom next to a free brewery. Seriously, these guys take £6,000 a day in fees for almost 3 months now and the feckin' Chuckle Brothers could have done a better job.

What happens now is anyone's guess. Probably lots of arguing and fees being paid to administrators, lawyers, QCs, accountants, agents.... A sad time for the whole of Scottish football.
 
Not so sure that it is a sad time of the 'little' teams [as Rangers fans used to call the solvent clubs.] The thousands of 'religeous' Rangers fans who are bussed in from overseas will hopefully be lost to Scottish football, they were never really interested in the game.
I feel really sorry for the genuine Gers fans.
We just need to get rid of the other slightly less Ugly Sister and we could have a scaled down league that is more fitting to present day Scotland.
If Celtic decide to stay in Scotland they will automatically scale down their spending and expectations as they could probably win the league with their second X1.
 
I find it strange the amount of Celtic fans gloating as their club will be greatly effected. Loss of TV revenue, less fans etc.

That said, Scottish fitba will/ would be better off without both the Old Farm.

I find it astonishing how deluded many are in thinking the Scottish Football would be in a healthier state without the OF....clueless springs to mind.

It puzzles me how Celtic would be greatly effected yet you feel the rest would prosper...

In reality I am under no illusions that losing the Huns would be detrimental to not just Celtic by the whole of the game but I am of the opinion that they will be around in some shape next season so will enjoy laughing at the shamble they are while it lasts.

We (Celtic fans) gloat because we went through it in 1994 and got no sympathy and the teddy bears did exactly the same gloating as we are doing now. As for Scottish football being better off withouth the OF, pull the other one the SPL without the OF would be like a welsh or irish league. All the money would go as SKY only want the rights to the Old Firm games and that is how the other teams have been riding on the coat tails of us for so long. We played Peterhead earlier in the year and that sets them up for the next 5 years just the same as when Rangers played Arbroath, the other clubs might dislike us but they would flounder without us.

Ignorant old firm pish. Celtic will be hurt more than any other team in Scotland with Rangers demise. Fact.
 
Haven't heard an answer to this as yet - any thoughts ?

So the wagons are circling on the "Keep RFC in teh SPL" due to teh SKY deal - so what happens if ..

1) RFC stay in SPL, and due to losing all the players that they cannot afford and being only able to field a youth team, they miss the top 6 split. There would be no 4th OF game. What happens to the SKY deal then ??

2) RFC stay in the SPL and "worse" than above, the get relegated. Will this be "allowed" and yet again, what happens to the SKY deal ??

Thoughts ?

Nobody is too big to fail....

Celtic stuck as eternal champions of a one horse SPL will go into decline. Dropping revenues, increasingly hard to get through preliminary rounds in Europe, struggling to attract even the second rate players they can get at the moment.

They'll survive, for sure, but a shadow of what they are now and what they were before.

Unless they can leverage Rangers demise to get themselves into the English league. Which I'm sure Peter Lawell is already working on.....

Or unless something is done to fill the void left in the SPL by Rangers.... and sparing Dunfermline from the drop won't do it. Could any of the other "top six" step up to be serious contenders? Personally, I doubt it.

Celtic will prosper, Rangers won a one horse league for the best part of 10 years and did ok, Lyon the very same in France.
