julescotia 11,407 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 BRIAN KENNEDY could be set for a dramatic return to the bidding war for Rangers. The Edinburgh-born businessman has become increasingly concerned after his first offer for the stricken SPL champions was rejected last week. Kennedy claimed he would not return to the negotiating table, but SunSport understands the 51-year-old is continuing to monitor the ongoing Ibrox crisis closely. Administrators Duff & Phelps have set a Wednesday deadline for final and best bids for Gers. Paul Murray and his Blue Knights — the men the fans have backed — are in the running along with US-based Club 9 Sports. But it's feared the Americans could opt for liquidation if they become preferred bidders. Kennedy is believed to be more concerned for the future of Rangers now than ever before. The administrators are also understood to be hopeful the Sale Sharks owner will make an improved offer. Meanwhile, Gers director Dave King does not believe Sir David Murray's claim that he was 'duped' by his successor, Craig Whyte. King said: "I do not believe that there will be a single person in Scotland who has dealt with both gentlemen that would believe that Craig Whyte had the capacity to dupe David Murray."Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/4233676/Bri-back-in-frame.html#ixzz1qqhjibse Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jicrw 0 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am totally supportive of Fans Involvement/Ownership for that will go some way to preventing any individual ever again doing what the 2 Biggest Disasters in our history have just done. Brian Kennedy doesn't even like Consortiums. He would Though Be Preferable To Those That Favour Liquidation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack1690 793 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Something is not adding up with duff & phelps. They appear to have an agenda. 1st "its highly unlikely it will be liquidation". Then its "The players have taken a massive wage cut to save the club". Then we get "Liquidation is still a strong possibility". The 2 bids, from TBKs & BK, which ruled out liquidation ( one is floundering & the other has floundered). Pardon the pun but something smells fishy with them. Too many alleged conflicts of issues with certain employees within duff & phelps with a vested interest in our financial plight. Maybe paranoia has set in with me.

Whyte's unusual payments to Betts, Close Bros., yep the whole thing stinks, SFA investigating everything but what they should be, this lot. Make sure Rangers get fit and proper owner in their words.

Not saying he's a man to trust either but he appears to have severed the Whyte link and from that interview it's highly unlikely he's in cahoots with him behind the scenes now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
