OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 To me that doesn't say they have pulled out of the bidding. It seems to indicate they were never actually in the bidding. Maybe more of a facilitator in the purchase.Exactly! They clearly state "Our role has been as a member of a proposed consortium." Notice the neither confirm or refute that they still are part of said proposed consortium or whether that consortium is going to bid, or pull out.They do go into some detail, and sound more positive than the media spin portrayed them.This "asset purchase" purchase seems to hint at the distinction of club and company, as many posted had noted, quoting the company as only starting in 1899.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Explain clever if you don't mind. Or rather what 'prepack administration' is in your definition?I believe a pre pack to be an asset sale and newco without offcially going into liquidationWhen I said clever I meant the way they have worded the articleThe only thing I am unsure of is wether they will be able to purchase the licence for the SPLIf not then just the same as liquidation except we keep our history Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunslinger 270 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 as I have always maintained we must avoid this lot at all costs. I could support a new co run by p murray or Brian Kennedy or Walter smith or the rst etc but I have zero interrest in a soccer franchise run by a hedge fund.

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It does seem almost too good to be true that the good stuff and bad stuff are seperated with the latter being binned ... if it is possible then you can be sure that liewell as a last resort will leave the SFA in no doubt through gritted teeth that he wants blood Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWTC 2,249 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 That statement is horrible, and I am baffled that people read this and thought it was 'good news'.For those who have began to fear, or have feared for sometime, or are even just getting a little worried that they might not have a team to support for much longer, its not the worst statement to read.Hardly good news, mind you.

Miggy Sinclair 179 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A play on words and certainly not good news. Our biggest concern should be that there are very strong rumours flying around that these people are the preferred bidders of the administrators.Something stinks.

Miggy Sinclair 179 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If Club 9 Sports take us over then it really is the end of Rangers as we know it.Correct.But blood will flow through the streets of Glasgow as the Rangers support finally realise we've been stitched up good and proper if this turns out to be the case.Hopefully Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy still have an ace or two to play.

Miggy Sinclair 179 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The latest according to Martin Williams (senior news reporter from the herald): "Contrary to reports on STV and BBC...

54andcounting 627 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Statement clarified BBC:US group Club 9 Sports say they will not be making a lone bid for control of Scottish Premier League side Rangers.The administrators at the financially-troubled Ibrox outfit are expecting four or five bids for the team by the deadline of 5pm on Wednesday.But Club 9 Sports say they were never planning to act on their own and will only be bidding as part of a consortium of representatives from the USA and the UK.A statement from the group read: "We can confirm that representatives of Club 9 Sports have been involved with investigating, analysing and considering a potential purchase of Rangers Football Club plc on behalf of a group of interested parties from the USA and UK.Five bids expected"However, at no time has Club 9 Sports itself offered a bid to acquire the club. Our role has been as a member of a proposed consortium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio 1,199 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hopefully Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy still have an ace or two to play. Just takes a bid from BK of 1 quid more than Club 9 sports to ensure they lose out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggy Sinclair 179 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I find the timing of the statement from Club9 worrying and it seems to tie in with this one from tha administrators in The Scotsman:David Whitehouse has confirmed that negotiations have started with the Scottish Premier League, the Scottish Football Association and Uefa in anticipation of the formation of a so-called newco Rangers should that course of action be followed by a new owner. Humming, absolutely humming !We don't want a newco you cunts! We want the Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
