babychunder Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Breaking news that Bill Ng is oot. With the Blue Knights "stepped back" and the Sale Sharks guy's bid ruled out of order, that leaves the Yank - and he wants liquidation / newco. So it looks like D3 for the boys in blue next season.

Abernethy Saint Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Breaking news that Bill Ng is oot. With the Blue Knights "stepped back" and the Sale Sharks guy's bid ruled out of order, that leaves the Yank - and he wants liquidation / newco. So it looks like D3 for the boys in blue next season. Apparently they don't feel the shares they need will be deliverred. This must refer to Whyte, meaning that surely Whyte's sticking to his original asset-stripping approach of using other people's money to buy the club, forcing liquidation, and then making a packet from Ibrox/Murray Park etc. But surely, as others have said, the SPL/SFA are putting in place a plan to let the newco straight back in to the SPL, whith what they regard as severe penalties re points deductions, slashing prize money etc. Anyone else think this whole thing has been worked out in smoke-filled rooms right from the start? All comes down to the money, and I'll bet you Celtic are shitting themselves at the thought of losing Rangers in private. Just saying - my personal view is they shouldn't even be allowed into the Ayrshire League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryhallsdanceband Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have an Rangers supporting acquaintance down here - nice enough guy but as he says himself - he's done plenty of time in BarL and the scars on his face weren't mistakes. He claims he's not a 'hard man' - christ...he must know some fellas. He said he'd happily do Whyte in and take the consequences - and I don't think he's kidding.

Eric Openshaw Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Who in their right mind would want to take over a club, who could in time be due 150 million? potential buyers coming and going, my arse, nobody will take it at a push until liquidation happens, yet more bluster from the orc loving media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychunder Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 News now that Bill Miller is going to submit a new bid Monday, with a CVA carve-out instead of liquidation. Says he won't do any deal with Ticketus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says he won't do any deal with Ticketus. A massive sum of £11.2m,dependent on a CVA, and will be withdrawn if the SFA or the SPL dare to do anything to Rangers.

Smarmy Arab Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Why is the following damning interview, not more widely circulated in the mainstream press? Nothing we did not know, but confirmation that Glasgow Rangers are total poison from top to bottom. Marco Negri the interview the truth about glasgow rangers has anything changed? An extract from an Italian Football magazine, with Marco Negri, about Rangers, and life with the Rangers Marco Negri Interview L.B. - Luigi Bruno (Interviewer) M.N. - Marco Negri L.B. - ' Marco, you left Rangers under very strange circumstances, why was that?' M.N.-' Strange? There was nothing strange in anything that happened there, they simply did not want me there any longer'. L.B.- 'Why was that?' M.N.- ' The honest answer is that I didn't know then and I still don't know even today. Nobody ever explained why I had fallen out of favour.' L.B.- ' Your goal record at Rangers was fantastic and when fit and available you were scoring for fun. I, and many others still do not understand why you left under a cloud'. M.N.- 'Let's just say you are getting very close to why I think that I was frozen out. Scotland is a very claustrophobic place where everything is examined and analyzed endlessly. Scottish society is in many ways a backward place'. L.B. - 'What do you mean by that?' M.N. - ' The culture, the underlying culture of Rangers was not good. The first team players had a habit of drinking vast amounts of alcohol during the week. As you know here in Italy we have a different culture as professional footballers. We know that it is our duty to keep ourselves fit and healthy. Some of the players there like Paul Gascoigne and Andy Goram would turn up smelling of drink BEFORE training!! I could not understand why such behaviour was tolerated by Walter Smith who was manager then'. L.B.- ' Marco we are well aware of Paul Gascoigne's problems and it is sad to see his decline, we saw it earlier at Lazio. Are you saying that the players were out of control?' M.N.- ' Absolutely, I tried to point this out to Walter Smith several times but he became very defensive and said that I needed to understand Scottish footballing culture. He would hear no criticism of Goram and especially Gascoigne who could literally do anything he wanted to and still get away with it! It wasn't just their drinking however, they had some really extreme political and religious views'. L.B.- ' Could you elaborate on this please?'. M.N. - ' Of course. They hated Catholics. All of them. I never understood why they were so filled with hatred. Several of us who were Catholic players and all foreigners were told upon arrival, never to bless ourselves at Ibrox as it could cause problems for us. I began to understand that Rangers was an extreme club very similar to Lazio here in Italy. You know, a right wing club with right wing supporters. I personally am not a practicing Catholic but my wife Anna Maria is, and it used to cause me pain when I heard what they said about my fellow Catholics. Lorenzo Amoruso and Jorg Albertz, just kept quiet and kept their heads down' L.B.- ' What finally brought things to a head?' M.N.- ' I was rapidly disillusioned by Rangers and especially their supporters. As part of my professional duties I was strongly encouraged to attend social functions which meant going to several Rangers supporters clubs. The last one I attended really brought home to me the fact that I had nothing in common with these people. The anti-Catholic feeling was venomous and the songs they sang that evening filled me with disgust. It was at that point I decided not to give my all for a club that condoned such behaviour. I went sick. Walter Smith knew the real reason for my 'illness' and he just ignored it. But I wasn't lying, I was sick, sick of Rangers and sick of what they stood for and that is the truth' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) No surprises there Smarmy, particulalry in relation to the extreme religious bigotry. Mind you, back in the day when most of the Scottish players liked a bevvy, we were some side Edited April 23, 2012 by Edstar101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
