  1. If, and it may be a big if, we can keep our existing players we will be ok.

    The big problem is up front. If Naismith stays and is fit we can play him there. Hopefully, McCoist can patch things up with Lafferty.

    That would at least give us two decent strikers.

    Hopefully the taigs spunk out big money to try to get into the champions league, and then get pumped out the qualifiers as usual.

  4. Possible phone call for Mr Green.

    Green: "Hello, is that the SFA?"

    Receptionist: "Yes. Who's calling?"

    Green: "It's Mr. Green. I'm fronting a consortium to take control of Rangers Football Club."

    Receptionist: "Oooh, lovely. How can I help you Mr. Green?"

    Green: "Is your boss in?"

    Receptionist: "Who, Mr Lawwe.......er, I mean, Mr. Rear-Gunner?"

    Green: "Yes...that's the prick. Is he in?"

    Receptionist: "He is....I'll put you through!"

    (She calls Rear-Gunner's office and he answers....realises who it is and yells at her, "What-the-fuck do you think you're playing at you stupid bitch? Tell him I'm out....I'm in a meeting...tell him I'm ill and I've gone home.")

    Receptionist: "I've already told him you're in...here he is......go ahead caller."

    Green: "Oi', is that you Rear-Gunner, ya' fookin' twat? (heavy Yorkshire accent here). I'm told you wanted.....nay, fookin' demanded that I tell you who me' backers are wi' the 'ere bid. Well, I'll give yer' one fookin' name and that's yer' fookin' lot sunshine. Bill-fookin-Gates. Now fook off and don't fookin' bother me again!" (slams down phone)

    Rear-Gunner: (to receptionist) "Get me Peter. Oh....and you're fired, you bitch!!"

    Would be funny if it wasn't for the sad fact that the sentimrnts are true.

  5. I hope Regan dies a horribly bad death

    That's a shocking thing to say!

    Surely you mean Liewell as well.

    :)

    Sometimes I amuse myself with the conundrum that I have Reagan, Liewell, Lennon and Odious Creep in front of me. I have a gun with six bullets in it, and immunity from prosecution. How do I divvy up the bullets amongst those 4?

    For any police lurking, the above is only a joke. ;)

  6. Craig Whyte 'promised stockbrokers £3m' as Rangers called in administrators

    Craig Whyte: The Rangers owner sold the club's historic shares in Arsenal FC

    Companies linked to Rangers owner Craig Whyte promised a failing stockbrokers more than £3m in guarantees as the Ibrox club was plunged into liquidation.

    Pritchard Stockbrokers were forced into administration earlier this year after the firm was investigated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) over concerns about use of clients’ money.

    Rangers are owed £223,000 by the stockbrokers for historic shares in Arsenal FC that the club was gifted in 1910 as part of a bond between the two clubs.

    The Ibrox club is one of around 11,000 clients owed money by the stockbrokers. Administrators Mazars confirmed on Wednesday it has uncovered an "estimated" shortfall of £3.4m between what client money should be held by the stockbroker firm and what is actually there in its accounts.

    In a report on the administration of the stockbrokers, Mazars revealed that Mr Whyte’s British Virgin Islands-registered Liberty Capital Limited had given Pritchard a £2m credit facility "in recent months to support its trade."

    They stated that in February, as Rangers appointed administrators Duff and Phelps, "a request was made by the FSA for the company to call the facility to meet the company’s liquidity gap however no funds were forthcoming."

    The report continued: "To date, formal documentation with regard to this [the Liberty credit facility] has not been located and further enquiries are being made of the company’s directors and the company’s accounting records, with a view to obtaining as much information as possible with regard to this matter, in order to allow our solicitors to advise whether or not it may be possible to submit a claim in this regard."

    Mazars have identified approximately £23.7m of client cash against claims of £27.1m, while the shortfall could increase "subject to the completion of the reconciliation work and legal advice regarding certain sums".

    Tixway UK Limited, which Mr Whyte’s Liberty Capital own, had also provided the stockbrokers with £1.1m in guarantees to "support its ongoing trade" in recent years.

    Pritchard’s administrators stated in the progress report: "Our solicitors are currently reviewing these guarantees to advise on both the steps required and the circumstances in which the guarantees could be called. In addition, preliminary enquiries have been undertaken to seek to establish whether or not the entity concerned may be in a position to satisfy the guarantee."

    Mazars stated that the company, which had a head office in Bournemouth and several across England, was forced to cease trading after the FSA requested payment of the funds from Mr Whyte’s Liberty Capital, but no money was received.

    Alongside Rangers Football Club plc, client Liberty Capital Ltd is owed just over £300,800, while a number of pension schemes are among the clients claiming money from the firm. Unsecured creditors have lodged more than £742,000 in claims, including £124,211 to HMRC, £11,554 to BT and more than £2000 to Yellow Pages.

    According to Mazars, 28 people have been made redundant as a result of the collapse of the firm while 12 workers have been retained to help with insolvency process. Mr Whyte stood down from his role with Pritchard on February 14, the day Rangers entered administration. Less than a month later, on March 9, Pritchard was placed into special administration as a result of the FSA investigation which found it had failed to arrange "adequate protection of clients’ assets" and had used client money to pay its own bills when not allowed to do so.

    Mazars have called a meeting of creditors on May 14 in London to establish committees to vote on the proposals for repayment the administrators will put forward later. Administrators also revealed they are "urgently" seeking clarity on the £300,000 insurance claims that Pritchard had filed in recent years, all of which are being dispute by insurers.

    Sell his shares! Fuck dig a hole and bury the wee shite!!!!

    I really despise Craig Whyte, and David Murray for selling to him.
