Breaking news

I didn't address you. I addressed everyone.

The choice is simple - pay him off or the club is liquidated. Yuck.

As for the info posted about Whyte's demands - it's not quite correct but it's close enough.

Any more insults and the ban hammer comes out. Simple.

Both Ticketus and D&P have said they would deliver Whyte. They can't - certainly not 100% anyway.

Latest D&P statement - including quotes from TBK and McCist: http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2745798

Welcome to one and all...

Ticketus do hold some sway over Whyte but clearly not enough to be able to deliver him. Similarly, D&P cannot do this either. Ergo, bidders either have to decide whether or not they go down the legal route (which will be expensive, take time and offer no guarantees), the liquidation route (they may still have to pay him for assets so more legal action) or give him what he asks (which may be much more than they can either afford or want to pay). People have to remember this is Whyte's day-job. Liquidating companies is what he does. Ergo, he will not have made many mistakes in his strategy to earn some coin in this debacle. The bidders just have to ask themselves what they're willing to swallow. As do we actually.

TB would have passed the info on in good faith. Unfortunately, the situation changes almost by the hour so something has obviously happened in the interim. Chill out folks.

Yes he does...

Ticketus will try and drag it out as long as they can. D&P need to fulfil their deadlines to stop them.

Did they? Must have missed that.

TB was the only person saying it had been done online - though clearly there were rumours offline.

I'd suggest D&P would deliver Whyte yesterday if it meant they could decamp back to old London town. Ticketus will change their story depending on who offers them more £ in that particular hour. Whyte will sit laughing in his favoured bolt-hole.

TB is very reliable with such stuff and, while the timescale may prove incorrect, I'd suggest TBK are still very much in the box seat.

That's because they have and will continue to play the field.

Can D&P/Ticketus deliver Whyte or not? It's a simple question but no-one can answer it.

Rumour are always posted in good faith but should always be taken with a pinch of salt.

You make a fair point mate but if TBK want any share issue to be as big a success as we need it to me then complete transparency would be a big step towards that.

I think we can trust TB's info. Congratulations to TBK - lots of hard work ahead now. Hopefully more details of how they intend to secure the future of the club filter out.

Welcome to Gersnet, Crawford. A fine first post if I may say so!

I think Shane runs an onofficial RFC t-shirt company.

Being named preferred bidder may happen tomorrow but a variety of questions remain as to whether a sale can actually be completed over the next 14 days. Whyte remains a huge obstacle for any bidder. I've yet to be convinced that anyone can do a suitable deal to remove him.

That's my point. This should be the time we demand it. What do we get for our £15-30million? Voting rights? A supervisory board? A couple of fan reps? What do you want for your £1000?
