Always read the small print – it’s guaranteed to reveal a lot more than the sexy headline; and will inevitably expose the devil that is always in the detail. Take next week’s SFL proposal to be put before the member clubs, pursuant to the “vote” on the league future of the club formerly known as…

To be honest, I’ve lately been resisting the urge to comment on the ongoing, festering saga of the would-be successors to the soon-to-be-defunct Rangers 1872/73.  Not only am I growing weary of the whole sordid affair and the humiliating efforts of the fiendish SFA / SPL pro “Sevco-cum-Rangers” Alliance to breathe new life into the…

Wherever he laid his head last night, I hope Stewart Regan managed a good night’s sleep.  Frankly, though, I doubt that he would. Because in the burgeoning http://www./# tag world of instant communication, social networking and new media, it is highly unlikely he will have been able to evade the meltdown that is well under way…

This morning, I read with interest Gordon Smith’s reported plea for “Newco” Rangers (although, significantly, he doesn’t acknowledge that embryonic status) to act with dignity and volunteer for relegation. His outpouring is rich in irony, the first instance being that very premise of volunteering for “relegation”.  Self-evidently, only a club that has competed at a…

Today, Thursday 14 June 2012, Rangers 1872/73 (IA), was consigned to liquidation … history … oblivion.  Our wry, scornful poem is, accordingly, much more appropriate today than when first aired (on reflection, a little prematurely) early in May: Walking Away They didn’t do walking away – unless you mean from taxes. Well, everybody did that ……

As I understand it (… someone will no doubt correct me if I’m wrong, here …), there is considerable doubt in the air about the quality and conduct of the Duff & Phelps administration of Rangers (IA), imminently to be liquidated. Is that process not potentially subject to investigation by the relevant professional authority? That…

Much of the legal and corporate aspect of the Rangers (IA) saga that will culminate in HMRC rejection of the Charles Green CVA proposal has, frankly, been beyond me; but from personal experience, I can speak with some authority on the question of employee rights in relation to a transfer of enterprise from one company…

So, my dark fears that my old friend’s gloomy forecast of a soft landing for TFOD might be proved right, have turned out to be groundless … GOOD!  I said all along that I hoped he … and I … would be proved wrong and today (… glory be to the “Internet Bampots” …) we have….

The “Presumptive Sale” is a classic business technique, designed to maximise the prospect of a successful sales pitch.  Indeed, in the hands of a skilled professional, it virtually guarantees the happy outcome of a presentation. Disarmingly simple in concept, it is grounded on the confidence of the presenter and the receptiveness of the prospect to…
