Quite how they managed to acquire the real estate and brand for next to nothing is the far murkier question
 

 No-one else wanted it!

The "supporters" didn't bid, either individually as millionaires or collectively as staunch loyal etc.

The real estate was only of immediate value to someone with a team to play and bring in the crowds. Otherwise, it could be demolished and redeveloped, but that was a long-term project, and a risky one. Not too much demand for high-end retail space and penthouse flats in funky downtown Govan. 

Don't forget the whole shebang had changed hands for  £1,  just a few months earlier.

That was £1 with the debt. Duff and Phelps were only selling assets. But you’re right, no-one wanted them and it was land and scrap value only.

It's probably not strictly tinpot but it is terrifying.

 

That guy still on the go? I dunno what that guy does for a living these days but he used to be quite high up in a bank about 10 years ago. He was doing all that shite then too I think but I only found out once he'd went elsewhere.

If Operation Yewtree aren't involved yet, they should be.

I think I read he took the huff he expected a free season ticket for his efforts, but got KB'd

Is there any explanation for the goose-stepping?

He was Führerious
