It's where you pick up "Executive Tickets", a few yards up the left hand side of the main door.

Yes we're still in 3 cup competitions but as inept a manager as I think McCoist is even I can't see him being knocked out of a cup competition before we've actually played in it! To be honest I'd have sacked him long ago.

Least sign of trouble? Did you not notice our capitulations in the Champions League, Europa League, League and Scottish Cup's out of four tournaments we managed to beat the mighty Arbroath! We defeated the mighty Brechin in extra time, we drew level with the mighty Peterhead in the last minute of normal time, an incompetent referee denied Berwick Rangers their deserved victory and had we lost yesterday we'd have had little grounds for complaint because we were absolute crap and our manager stood arms folded looking absolutely clueless but sadly that's now a "normal" occurrence.

They're not whispers they're full on shouts, anyway people have been talking about shunting McCoist since last seasons pathetic cup capitulations. People enduring shit like today and venting their frustrations is a million miles from a witch-hunt. McCoist has been given plenty of goodwill from the fans when that well finally runs dry it will be McCoist to blame not the fans.

Extra time or neutral grounds aren't going to help us in the league though are they? Drawing three away's is the equivalent of losing two for everyone you win, if we'd lost two out of our opening three away's the 'Chopometer' would be back on the back pages but hey a last minute equaliser against the mighty Peterhead and an incredibly incompetent refereeing decision in our favour denied Berwick Rangers their deserved three points, had we lost today against the international powerhouse known as Annan Athletic we'd have had little reason to grumble. People need to take off the blue tinted glasses when it comes to McCoist, legend of a player sure, bluenose absof*&kinglutely, media darling of course but he doesn't show the slightest symptom of being a football manager.

We're not asking for Messi just less of the impersonation of Wimbledon under Dave Bassett.

He may decide accepting the stripping of the titles will be of greater financial cost.

Quite a testy argument about that behind me at the game today and there seems to be a steadily growing body of opinion towards giving McCoist & Co their jotters. Winning at home and drawing away won't harvest enough points to get automatic promotion out of this league, can we really sit and wait for McCoist to start looking anything remotely resembling a manager when the evidence in front of own eyes is that he simply hasn't got what it takes?

Wish we'd never heard of him.

Frankly I find this a bit strange surely we have higher priorities in regards to contracts, not saying it's wrong just strange.

Perhaps but that doesn't automatically mean he's wrong.

Lead not own !

He done himself no harm..... There's no turning back after that salvo

The Daily Mail's take on it:

Just proves he hasn't wasted his private education!

100% correct hence TBK's extreme reluctance to go down the newco ( D&P's favoured option from day one albeit via the non-liquidation liquidation)route as their option of choice, but once the option of the CVA was removed did Duff & Phelps fail in their duties by agreeing to the irrevocable asset sale to (the then) Sevco?

Probably not, but that's not the point I was making. I think that if a CVA was proposed that made HMRC ask the question then perhaps they may have accepted, but as there was no value (that I could see anyway) in any CVA proposal then it's impossible to argue with HMRC's decision to reject. Sadly that's correct but nonetheless something that still puzzles me. Green's been open enough about his motives since day one and that's not something he should be criticised for, but he could be far more open about our deliberately opaque ownership structure. We won't know for sure till after he's gone whether Green has been good or bad for us, I'm of the opinion that if he and his "investors" don't get too greedy then his reign and his legacy may be viewed positively (I certainly hope that's the case though I still retain some scepticism). They were also duty bound to work in the best interests of the creditors but can it really be argued they did so by entering into the irrevocable agreement with (the then) Sevco rather than setting a deadline for bids for a straight asset sale? After all once the responsibility of being the one who killed RFC plc was removed it literally becomes a different ball game.

Whilst it's a fair argument that it wasn't designed to fail it certainly wasn't designed to succeed either. The irrevocable fall back of the £5.5m newco option when you consider you get the (reputed) £2.5m SPL prize money and (assume) you get all the players registrations TUPE'd over means the buyers would have no reason for shedding few tears over what could be viewed as simply saving yourself £3m on your initial outlay (and picking up all the assets for effectively £0). I'm not convinced the differing CVA's were compared using equal criteria by Duff & Phelps but that's now a moot point anyway.

There wouldn't even be an inquiry if the result hadn't been pre-determined.

I think it's a bit premature to float so quickly, it gives an impression of a cut and run. A full years accounts would have been nice so we could get a bigger picture of what's actually being sold. This will be purely an investment of the heart and not the head, I'm minded to let the float pass and wait and buy in the market but if the minimum is set low enough I may just succumb to temptations of heart.

Prospectus should make for an interesting read.
