I know what you mean, but other teams have suffered the indignity & come through it.
I watched Man Utd at York City in the old English 2nd division - 25 years later they won the Champions League!
(Man Utd, not York...)
Thanks for clearing that up at the end.
We shouldn't be too proud to take whatever comes our way as fans, and we will be the set of fans who have too live through the worst of times for the club (if any sort of relegation scenario comes out), but sticking with it through those years will only make our glorious return better and our victories sweeter.
No matter what comes to pass, and what our company registration number is: Rangers Till I Die.

Barca can never be outplayed - sit in and counter proves to be profitable once again
A team beaten by others with superior tactics, sounds like the end of football as we know it.
Real thoroughly deserved to win, and seriously, Guardiola seemed to be blind to what he was watching.
-
Hardly. It's not like he's the one that got away. They could have had him in 2008 and chose to give the job to Guardiola instead. Might turn out to be a bad decision but, y'know, they have won three league titles and two Champions Leagues since then. The balance of power might shift now but there's no guarantee Mourinho would have been a success with Barcelona.
Absolutely no guarantee, he has been a failure at so many of his jobs.... hasn't he?

Why do we think it is bad if anyone says anything even remotely negative in the papers about us, and should be cast out of their legendary status, but people will post the most ridiculously negative things in the world on message boards like this, but just be 'telling it as it is because I love my club'.
With every fibre of my being I want us out of this situation, but surely most of us are embarassed that we are in such a state.
-
Bill Murray buying us would be the best thing that could happen, just imagine the stuff we could put up on the big screens.
-
It is just the usual stuff, anyone who wants to advance their career away from Celtic is seen as a traitor, remember Liam Miller getting all the same stuff, because he had the temerity to accept a £50k a week offer to play at Manchester United.
Using the memory of one of their dead heroes as a stick to beat up a young kid who wants to play at the highest level is hardly unexpected.

I always wondered what happened to the Swedish Chef in the muppets, glad he found work

Why are the little messages that come up in English?
-
We MUST commit as a club that we will never, under any circumstances offer any financial support, in any way, shape or form, to any Scottish football club in financial trouble in the future, no matter what happens.
NO Friendlies
NO money up front for tickets
Vote against any proposals to advance prize money or sponsorship money
Vote NO to a CVA if we are ever in a position where we are a sizeable creditor
I have had it with the self-righteous scummy lot of them, and Bill Miller's proposal is good in that at least it will call them out. When they were asked to consider doing something to help save the existence of a member club, they will be shown to have actively worked against bidders, again.
-
Commentary is miles better than Sky/ESPN
-
Fantastic gesture, seriously.
Also, if anyone wants to follow suit with about £25m or so, that would be good too.
-
Unfortunately, this 'D&P are only in it for the money' implication seems to be growing and growing, egged on by the muppet media. They have a job to do, and even today's proposal from Bill Miller is not an unconditional bid.
If D&P announce a preferred bidder who has conditions, arrange a CVA with creditors for £10.7m, and then on the 30th April rule changes come in that would break one of the conditions, then the bid is withdrawn, and we might as well shut up shop there and then, because the creditors won't wait any longer, or want to come back to the table.
The decision needs to be the correct one, not the quickest one, people like Brian Kennedy need to back up their words about how they won't allow the club to go into liquidation by actually doing something meaningful about it.
-
The ever diminishing list of bidders, and the uncertainty over a CVA option with the size of the bids is definitely concerning. We do go from thinking it is the best choice out of 3 bidders (with Kennedy in the shadows), to being down to 1 bid, from the guy we know the least about. I'm still aiming to stay positive.
-
Barcelona's attitude is always the same, the 2nd leg will see them put maximum pressure on the referee with diving and complaining, until they get ahead, and then it will be pretty football, greatest team in the world and all smiles.
Just think where we would be if we were allowed to run up as huge a debt as them, and everyone turned a blind eye to it.
-
There are a lot of unknowns about future ownership (perhaps understated!) Had we known what Craig Whyte was going to do, would we have said 'it's too late'?
There is a lot of talk, no doubt the media shit-stirring, about the risk of liquidation depending on the next owner. So I don't think we should just sit idly by and wait. Time for action, time is now.
Time was 2 months ago.

just don't get the kennedy interest .
He kept advising us from the start that he wasn't really interested in buying the club but would step in if the club needed him as he didn't want to see the club die . He's now back on the scene on his white charger to save the day again !!
WHY ???? He's a Hibs fan and fundamentally a businessman so why the interest to save us ? These are plenty of noble causes out there for any philanthropist - he could be be saving hospital wards for example . Put the shoe on the other foot , if a prominent businessman / bears fan was desperate to save Hibs we would be saying fuck that , help us .
Not trying to be cynical but when someone or something sounds too good to be true it normally is.
He is a clever guy, and is going to make sure that we don't have high expectations if he wins the club. He is then in a position to cut the costs, but remain honest to what he is promising, and always present himself as the saviour of the club.
I don't have a particular problem with any of that, and would probably feel more comfortable with a UK owner who is familiar with sports ownership, it feels generally safer.
-
Just because the fans may be united about their desire for the club to continue, and for the club to be successful, there is nothing that suggests they would be united about how a club should be run, who should run it, what organisational management structure should exist, etc.
These last few weeks would have been a perfect time for a fan ownership model to try and come forward and put up a bid, but there is clearly either a lack of that leadership, or a lack of interest, surely once the club has a new owner, it is going to be too late anyway.

Blackpool 3 - 3 Luton Town a few years back, in League One I think, at Bloomfield Road.

This is such a non-issue, there is NO possibility or precedent for any of this 'losing our history' nonsense.
Leeds who play today, are still the same Leeds that everyone hated in the 70s, and that we beat in 1992.
Fiorentina are still Fiorentina
Middlesborough are still Middlesborough
Charlton are still the same Charlton that Rodney Trotter was given his middle name from.
If anyone thinks that a company registration number won 9IAR they are on a different planet.
Of course, if people want to push this history erasing stuff, they need to accept that we can't be punished as a newco in the SPL, because we wouldn't have the history of the club who went into administration, etc.
-
The reason the recent situation has united the fans groups more than usual is down to mutual self-interest and self-publication. And over the last 48/72 hours, they have either been hoodwinked into pushing an agenda, or have been complicit in it.
-
Is this just in case there was any chance of us naming a PB this week? More uncertainty.
-
How is everyone about the ridiculous posturing from TBK over the weekend, including seemingly getting some supporters' groups fooled into trying to force the administrators to make an untimely decision, just so that they could either avoid being exposed as having no cash, or avoid losing their exclusivity with ticketus.
Don't trust anyone who is obviously in it to publicise themselves as saviours.
TBK's bid was ALWAYS about other people's money. Very glad they are out of the way.

When Celtic scored their dodgy offside goal, my only hope was that Hearts would get a winner with a controversial penalty, or an offside goal themselves, because the only thing better than Celtic losing is Celtic losing and going into paranoid spin mode.
I have barely stopped laughing all day.
-
Everyone is frustrated, and everyone wants this resolved, but honestly, this just comes across to me as childish.
We demand one thing, and if you don't do that, we will demand something else.
I want the BEST bidder, not the one that is forced through by some fan-dictated deadline.
