I have recently started a pub poker business with very little finance after recently losing my job. I am now looking to sign up new pubs in Scotland to join our league. If i was able to gain any new venues through this website then I would be willing to donate all profits that I make from those venue over the first 3 months to the rangers Fighting Fund. If you know of any pubs that are interested then let me know and I can supply more info to yourself or the pub directly. I would be willing to give the profits to someone who has been on this site a lot longer than myself to deposit in the Fighting Fund so that it can be clarified as been done.

You sound like such a genuine and trustworthy guy I think you should take over Rangers.

Does anyone actually know how the ticketus deal works with regards to season ticket sales over the next 3 years. Reason I am asking is because I was wondering what would happen if Rangers used a new approach where as they have a priority list of supporters who have a season ticket just now and on a game per game basis they are offered first chance at ticket in their usual seat instead of buying season tickets next season. Would this avoid us having to pay Ticketus?

I still believe that we will go into liquadation. I think from whyte taking over then that has always been the plan as it was the best option available. When Whyte took over we were being run basically by Lloyds. We owed them 18m and HMRC over 50m. Nobody was ever going to buy Rangers and pay off the debts of over 68m. I think there were 2 possible options. 1. Go into administration then liquadation and come back as basically the same company with the assets and no debts 2. Allow the bank and HMRC to seize Murray Park and Ibrox along with any other assets which would have paid off a small part of the debt. We would still have had some of the debt which could have resulted in administartion anyway. I think when Craig Whyte took over he knew Administration was best option but he also knew that Lloyds would not allow us just to go into administration while tehy had their man on the board, the would have seized the assets first. Knowing that he had to get rid of LLoyds, he decided to borrow £24m from Ticketus. I know people say that paying ticketus the money is a problem but if I am right and Whyte plans liquadation then we will owe nothing to Ticketus. I think it bsically David Murray knew that the only option was going down this route but he was too much of a coward to do it so has allowed someone else to take the fall for it.

I know a lot of people will criticise me for this but I think Craig Whyte only did what had to be done. Dont think Murray had the courage to do it. At the time Whyte came along we had potential debts of 18m to lloyds and over 50m to HMRC. Nobody was coming along with that sort of money to pay off these debts. At that point I think there were 2 options which were either go down liqudation route, lose our history but start a new company with same assets but with no debts or be forced to let lloyds and HMRC take ibrox and murray park which would have cleared small part of debt so would probably still have had to go into liqudation after losing main assets. Now things have changed and it now looks like we will only pay 10p in the £ to HMRC which means we will have debt dramatically reduced. Ok, we now have the problem of Ticketus but I think Craig Whyts plan was always to go into liquadation which would have saved us paying Ticketus anything.

I keep reading about the Blue Knights consortium borrowing £5m from Ticketus to fund their takeover but I still dont understand when you have a consortium of multi millionaires why would you need to borrow money from anyone, let alone Ticketus?

Just thought I would add this video link here as im sure all bears on here could not get sick of watching it.

I would love it if we did not have to pay Dundee United but Im sure one of the the sfa rule book states that if the money from scottish cup ties are not paid in full then the club are not eligable to participate in next seasons tournament. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the matter can clear up this point.
