And by god has he not taken Rangers to the brink...
What Craig Whyte is doing to Rangers FC is shameful. For all those who snigger enjoy it now because this man could be responsible for turning the SPL into something akin to the Irish or Welsh leagues. If rangers cant recover from this this will affect out club. Make no mistake.
Its been proven that this action does not work. Forward sale of season book money is the reason that Leeds went to the wall and Newcastle were a financial mess. The ONLY reason those clubs survived was the intervention of men with wealth and a plan to stabilize the company. In Craig Whyte and Ellis to you have two men who want only one thing - money.
In my post last night I said that if this was true the Tax case is now second on the list and I truly believe that now.
Administration will happen. It must. Its been the plan all along.
The next few years are going to be appalling for Rangers FC.
The only show in town...

It is not as if they weren't warned/
There's been a bloomin greek choir shouting Whyte down since he appeared on the scene.
He shouldn't have been the only game in town.

What a load of rubbish.
Do you remember the 90's?
This is basically just karma coming back around.

Pie in the 90's one of the first people who were going to put money into Celtic was Rangers...the board there realised that without someone to beat the interest would be lost pretty quickly. This was a genuine possibility, but there was no way some people would let that happen and Dempsey found Fergus and the rest is history...
To be clear - they didnt want us to be strong - just survive..
This was confirmed at a Q&A at a supporters function several years ago...
As i say this will affect us in some way, shape or form. Whether it be through financial standings or players or general standard of Scottish football is yet to be seen.

They are in this state through their own doing.
They've celebrated the league and cup wins with borrowed money.
Now they are paying for it.
I don't want them gone (they won't) I want them as weak as we were.

I have no sympathy for their position. I agree this was all of their own doing and the megalomaniac Murray striving for world domination then running for the hills....
My comments are really about what this could mean for us as we know that at times the Celtic board can have a 'just enough' attitude...

I see what you're saying now.
Yes, our board will do the minimum requirement possible.
Now, more than any other time. Is the time to cripple them for years to come.
