Rangers FC to go into administration

[NAG1]

Or maybe the difference was at the Harry Gregg testimonial there wasnt a section of fans singing the 'Billy Boys' or the 'Sash' as Big David beat his drum a couple of weeks previous as his team were crowned champions.

People knowing this wouldnt be the case maybe felt more comfortable going there.

Programme on BBC1 at the minute.

[deiseach]

Damn good programme. This kind of thing normally falls flat due to the lack of a smoking gun and there probably wasn't an hour of television in it. We really could have done without Sammy Billyboy and his "ah wan aghn-sewers" routine, and the scene with Mark Daly's soliloquy into his phone was risible - were we seriously meant to believe Duff & Phelps' PR monkey was patiently sitting at the other end while he went through that rant? Still, it was informative and pretty damning. The 'data room' conceit worked very well in terms of explaining what EBT's were about and who benefitted from them. They clearly demonstrated that D&P are hopelessly compromised as impartial administrators - the allegations may not be true, but there was prima facie evidence of a conflict of interest that has to rule them out. And the Souness revelation might will bring the London press sniffing around it some more. Overall, a good effort by Mark Daly and co

[NAG1]

Any wonder why Souness has been so quiet on the whole affair

thought it was a good programme too.

Looks like Daly got most of his information from http://rangerstaxcase.wordpress.com/ which very appropriately won the Orwell Prize http://theorwellprize.co.uk/news/orwell-prize-2012-winners-announced/ last night.

All in all a good night for a very educational blog. I'd say there are several EPL clubs now dunging their togs and cranking up the shredders.

So Rangers were brought down by a porn star. Bound to be a joke in that somewhere.

So what's the story with these preferred bidders? They were dropping like flies the last I heard, yet the administrators were going to have someone in place by friday, friday two weeks ago!!

From The Guardian

"There's news breaking on Rangers' financial meltdown. It looks like they are liquidating the plc that has historically run the club, resulting in an automatic three-year European ban. They will also need rival SPL clubs to agree for them to stay in the league, otherwise..."
