Walter and his consortium have pulled out, he did wish the new Rangers club well though...good to see he isn't claiming that the old club still exists under a new company name.

Walter Smith group drops bid for club

The consortium led by former manager Walter Smith has withdrawn its offer to take over the 'newco'

It really is the gift that keeps on giving... You couldn't make this up!

Surely the Swallow Swallow servers won't be able to handle any more meltdowns? :eek:

Looks like he walked away..

PauloMN

Wonder will Ally walk away now as well? Got the impression he might have stayed on the news that Smith was going to be involved..... maybe not now.

BBC Scotland has learned that Charles Green's Sevco 5088 company is not currently permitted to inherit the name 'The Rangers Football Club'.

Any attempt to adopt the name 'The Rangers Football Club' would require the approval of the liquidators, BDO.

LOL, did they really expect to be able to take that name without running into problems?

You said they had players they wouldn't have been able to get, that's why I said it.

You can choose any timeframe you want and study the minutiae within that timeframe - the bottom line is that trophies were gained in extremely dubious circumstances; circumstances that gave an unfair advantage - it follows that trophies should be forfeited.

I think Dave King will be right, Charles Green wont last a year!

Is this why Walter has withdrawn?

I am confused, who or whom is committing a fraud?

Green, Murray, Whyte, Duff & Phelps?

Chancers, the lot of them!

If I was as obsessed as you think then surely I wouldn't need to ask Savage Tyrant for a login

The fact of the matter is this is hugely entertaining and if it was Celtic being liquidated then you'd have the popcorn out too.

Savage Tyrant

How's that obsession though? Are there no oldco fans with lurking accounts on Celtic forums?
Of course we're going to want to look in at the meltdown while it happens.

Rangers fans never lurk on Celtic websites

You're not the only Rangers supporter that has been calling people obsessed in an effort to derail the thread

Eirebear

Not derailing anything, discuss away.

I just find it funny that your all sharing a wee peek at what the bears are up to, christ I don't even have an FF log in!

Jelle1880

No clue what to think of that statement by Smith.

Why not say 'This is why we pulled out of the negotiations', instead of all that smoke and mirrors.

"We are therefore withdrawing completely from the process to enable Charles Green and his consortium to move forward.

Green is pulling a stroke me thinks

They need to be stripped of titles, they cheated for years and years.

I don't think any of the Celtic fans really give a **** about FF to be honest. It's just a laugh, nothing else. Permaraged Bears are always good for a laugh!

Say Rangers in some form or other can't take part in the SPL next season, does that make the Sky/ESPN tv rights deal null and void? I know if I was Sky/ESPN I wouldn't want to be paying 80 million for Celtic v Hearts, the 80 million is for the 4 Rangers v Celtic games each year.

Only because those who run the site have an obsession with banning people!!!

You get a better laugh out of the comments because those who post think it's a Rangers-only fan site.

No, Sky/ESPN have already stated that they'll be covering the SPL next season no matter what happens Rangers.

The vast majority of Rangers fans on FF are well aware that the place is infested with Celtic fans.

Our Battle now is to remain in the SPL with no sanctions

Deluded as well as permaraged.

Never read FF before except via links from elsewhere, it's interesting to get the views of the other side. They really hate Green though... almost as much as Whyte it seems.

Some Loon-bag over there is even suggesting Newco should apply for membership to the MLS because "3 Canadian teams" already play there. :pac:

Gotta feel for Big Eck though, Walter had already walked away before this even made the website ffs!

I see Charles Green wants clubs to ignore sporting integrity and do "what is right financially". Doing what financially is right is listening to your fans when they are threatening boycotts left right and centre. He also insists he not here to make a quick buck but wait there is another bid on the table because he is stoking up the fear amongst rich Rangers supporters with his 'plans'.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18527811

Housebuilders and property developers Allan Stewart and Stephen McKenna plan to bid about £11m for the club.

They hope to run Rangers for two to three years before floating the company on the Stock Exchange and handing the club over to the fans.

They just keep crawling out of the woodwork. Nobody wanted to be the people that failed to get a CVA and have Rangers liquidated, Charles Green is quite happy to have that stigma attached to him, for a price...

TheBuilder

I don't know how many more 'new bids' I can handle, this had taken 30 years of my life!

Chris McLaughlin ‏@BBCchrismclaug

Stewart and McKenna - property developers. Linked to controversial deal with Glasgow council and commonwealth games land in Dalmarnock.

Hmmm, an awful amount of questionable individuals looking to be involved at Rangers and we havent even seen who is backing Green yet!

Savage Tyrant

I think Green has played a blinder! ... He's set himself up to make a tidy profit for himself.
Exactly what Whyte tried and failed to do.

That being said it could still all go tits up for him, but I think he'll turn a profit. He cares not a jot for the club or it's fans. Just the moolah!
