Rangers 2011/2012.

[Pickman's model]

I know a few American precedents but in Britain we have prime ministers.

what about michael heseltine? he was president of the board of trade.

The next time you are speaking to one of them, be sure to say hello for me.

the only yankee president anchorage would know is george w bush, who probably thinks anchorage is a bit on the loony wing.

Or worse - IIRC Bush has met the Pope.

As bush comes from the southern states, as do most presidents then I don't think he would consider himself a Yankee.

 

[starfish]

Rangers is the property of Whyte and was run by him, the two aren't separate.

Really ? That simple.

You use the same argument re Torbett.

He moved to Texas as a child, he was born in Connecticut, his father George HW Bush was born in Massachusetts, his father Preston Bush was born in Ohio. All 3 of those states were in the Union.

Must be one of those he has not met, or he would know all that.

 

[tar1984]

On a slight side note, this smiley they use on the rangers media forum keeps making me laugh

 

[anchorage]

Yet he chose to represent Texas and lives there.

Enoch powell chose to represent a seat in the six counties but that doesn't make him irish

Eh? He didn't "represent" texas in the house of representatives or the senate, he was givernor, which I think is rather different. It's bit like saying jules pipe, mayor of hackney, represents the borough when for its sins hackney has two abysmal mps who affect to perform that role

You are right, being govenor is a mearly symbolic title.

The new Rangers strip.

Brilliant retro look.

Is that the new Rangers' home ground?

 

[sleaterkinney]

Ticketus have withdrawn their commitment to funding a takeover bid for Rangers

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17867822

So have they written off the money they had given to Whyte?

Not yet.

It might be a case of dealing with the new owners once they buy the club.

I wonder if those two players will still be at Rangers for the 2012/13 season?

Still think Rangers best kit was this one:

 

[Fedayn]

Yet he chose to represent Texas and lives there.

Because he grew up there, he is not however anything other than an 'adopted' Texan, part of the joke about his 'Oh so Texan persona' is he's not a Texan.

 

[Fedayn]

It might be a case of dealing with the new owners once they buy the club.

Could also be a calculation by Murray & Kenendy and their hoping that any foirthcoming courtcase will find Whyte owes the money not Rangers.

 

[sleaterkinney]

What new owners?. Ticketus will be going to court along with the rest now.

Talk of a bid being put in today which will be accepted.

Yes, there's been talki of all sorts by various idiots as usual. Including some www claims you'll be out of administration today-stop laughing at the back there-doesn't make it so. Murray and Kennedy may well get preferreed status today, they may bid today, they may even get agreement today. Whyte still owns the shares, Ticketus are now a £27m creditor and HMRC are still there with the wee tax case and the big tax case in the wings. Not exactly an edifying vista.....

Not an ever darker hole either.

 

[anchorage]

The bid has been made.

 

[agricola]

A dream team has emerged!

 

[Fedayn]

The bid has been made.

A bid that is conditional on...... A CVA being agreed and Whyte's shares being acquired.

2 things that cannot be guaranteed.
