Shane 338 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 STATEMENT FROM THE RANGERS SUPPORTERS ASSEMBLY, SUPPORTERS ASSOCIATION AND SUPPORTERS TRUST "Rangers fans worldwide have been very patient during the the recent difficult period in the hope that we will exit administration and be able to work towards re-establishing our club at the level to which we all aspire. However, the delay in the administrator's announcing the preferred bidder is seriously jeopardising our chances of exiting administration quickly and is forcing us closer to liquidation.With the proposed SPL rule changes meaning we may not be competing on an equal footing for the next two seasons, it is imperative we have the chance to exit administration with a Company Voluntary Agreement and that has to happen as soon as possible.We demand that the administrators announce the preferred bidder as a matter of urgency. If they fail to do so on Monday 16 April 2012, we demand to be informed precisely why they cannot announce a preferred bidder." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 fair enough...no reason at all the preferred bidder can't be named by close of business monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 All I want is the administrators to make the correct decision as to who gets control of the club, regardless of how long that takes. This is probably one of, if not the biggest decision in the history of our football club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Which is what we expect anyway.Indeed.I have my reservations about this due to the ongoing campaign by one of our bidders and his cronies but i am willing to take this at face value for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 As far as I understand it, the RSA are behind the TBK bid.If so, then it is looking more likely that bid is not the preferred one and that they are trying to apply undue pressure.D&P have already stated that bidders are questioning the SPL/SFA regarding the position of coming out of Admin but not completing the CVA by the start of next season and what punishments, if any, would be applicable.The recent announcement by the SPL/SFA have had a material impact upon the bidding process and that means all bids to be reviewed, taking account of this.Sill statement, as they have no power to force anyone to make a decision or even request the reason why no decision is made.

allanh91 75 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 We may have no power over the administrators, but we're well within our rights to make our feelings aware.This isn't some random plumbing business, it's a football club and more.

The Dude 20,026 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I demand the RST explain where the missing money is. I also demand to know why the RST backed a scheme which saw money, which SHOULD have made its way to the club, end up in the pockets of private businesses when it could have been used by the club? It holds as much weight as theirs does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Do the RSAssembly, RSAssociation and RST know if the SPL has now clarified what happens under the proposed new rules if we agree a CVA before the start of next season but don't formally come out of Administration until after the season starts?

thebooler 4,509 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is it really a good idea to force this issue and pressurize the administrators into possibly making the wrong decision?I'm not too sure on this to be honest, as it looks to me that TBK's backers are trying to force the decision which suits them, which may not be the right decision for the club.

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Bang on the napper with what you say.I just can't quite get how, with the absolute arse of a year we've had under a fucking horrible bastard of an 'owner', we are trying to rush the administrators into simply 'picking' one bid. I'd rather they took their time and were 100% sure that theirs was the best bid before going ahead with it. Maybe this is something the administrators should have done already, and for that, they can be criticised. However, I don't think demanding a decision by tomorrow is really, in any way, helpful.I know a fairly small amount about administration but I cannot imagine it to be a simple process. From simply looking at what other football clubs have had to deal with, i'd say that if we were to be out of admin by the end of this month, then it would be a hell of a lot quicker than most administration periods last.As I say, don't claim to be an expert, but think that unfortunately, patience is key here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 110,159 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Do the RSAssembly, RSAssociation and RST know if the SPL has now clarified what happens under the proposed new rules if we agree a CVA before the start of next season but don't formally come out of Administration until after the season starts?When do we come out of it? Is the CVA paid off like a loan? Ie pay back at x amount per month? Or is he amount offered for the club, say 12 million used to pay off all the creditors there and then?

Shane 338 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 BMC'S Rangers Rants @BMCRangersRantsSo @rangersfctrust what happens if/when the Administrators don't announce 'preferred bidder' tomorrow? I don't see how this helps? @rangersfctrust We're working on that along with other groups. Let's hope it doesnt come to that.-------------------------------- Anybody with thoughts on this comment?I know I have my own... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio 1,199 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I am not in favour of anyone trying to force someone's hand, especially when the stakes are so high.The Supporters Trust and Assembly have a vested Interest, If it's not the TBK who get preferred Bidder then what ? do they keep demanding until it is - I just wish they would let them do the Job.

This is probably one of, if not the biggest decision in the history of our football club100% agree and the process should NOT be forced by people who do not know ALL the issues involved. The administartors are in a much better position to decide when too announce a bid.(oh and while I am not one to talk about grammar - it was a pretty poorly worded statement !)

jimmyblue75 20 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 as much as everyone else, i really want to know who the preffered bidder is......however that statement is not required.both bill ng and the yank have requested time to clarify with the spl.....and TBK see this as a chance to try and use the RST, RSA and SA to rally the troops to force the admins into selecting them.'demand'?bunch of power hungry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
