Sale of Rangers FC 'will go ahead by mid-January'

 

Published Date: 05 December 2010

By Tom English

 

A DEAL to sell Rangers Football Club to Scots venture capitalist Craig Whyte will go though by the middle of January, according to senior sources at the club.

Whyte, 39, met with Ibrox chairman Alastair Johnston in Glasgow to discuss the purchase of Sir David Murray's shareholding in the club.

 

The proposed £33 million deal will wipe out the existing debt that has stymied Rangers in the transfer market for two years.

 

Yesterday, sources at Rangers said the deal, barring any late hitches, could be completed before Christmas but it is more likely that it will be done by the middle of January. "We can't say with 100 per cent certainty, but Whyte has the money and is very convincing. We think the deal will happen," said the source.

 

Murray has presided over Rangers for 22 years but has been keen to sell his stake for some time.

 

Hopefully the debt thing is not true as that is what is holding them back at the moment.

The Scottish Football Association is investigating Craig Whyte after the Rangers owner admitted that he had been disqualified as a company director.

 

And if it is not satisfied that Whyte falls into its fit and proper person guidelines, it will take action against the Ibrox club.

 

Rangers issued a statement to the Plus stock exchange on Wednesday confirming Whyte's seven-year disqualification.

 

The SFA has been in dialogue with Rangers asking for more details.

 

"The Scottish FA has noted the Rangers FC statement to the stock exchange regarding the club's owner Craig Whyte," said chief executive Stewart Regan.

 

"We have been in dialogue with the club on this matter and in light of today's developments have requested clarification by return.

 

"We await disclosure of key information before we can make any further comment."

 

The governing body's articles of association state that office bearers with their football clubs must meet their board's fit and proper criteria.

 

The SFA board reserves the right to make such a judgement "after due consideration of all relevant facts".

 

Article 10.2 (g) makes reference to a person who has "been disqualified as a director pursuant to the Company Directors' Disqualification Act 1986, within the previous five years", with the caveat that the list is "acknowledged to be illustrative and not exhaustive".

 

White was disqualified from 2000 to 2007, as revealed in a BBC Scotland documentary on 20 October.

 

fuck all will happen

The SFA would have been better saying fuck all... cos they'll deliberate and conjetate and ultimately come oot and say he is a fit and proper pers-hun... then nae doot some shite will hit the fan, he'll be shown to still be a corrupt cunt - and then they'll look like tits... but they're untouchable so that winna matter a fuck either.

 

 

I heard that's why Gary Speed topped himself.

Their explanation for not taking action will be - White was disqualified in 2000,  which is more than 5 years ago..........  so no need to rock any boats.

I really dont like the way Radio scotland were refering to them appealing Alukos 2 match ban as ' Rangers have rejected the offer of a 2 match bad'

 

They just released pics of the aftermath of the 2008 UEFA cup final

stupid sally, that's what justice proves

hopefully sally gets a kicking too since hes now publicly slagged off jim McCluskey who was chairing the hearing

 

Always liked Jim McCluskey ever since he gave that penalty in Roy Aitkens first game in charge

 

Gerry Macnee's wonderful commentary

'well theres certainly cont-ra-versy here in this second half. Rangers have a penalty claim turned down at one end.....and theres one given to aberdeen at the other'

At it again yesterday:

 

"The only noise being made by the visitors at this point came from an element of their support, a group who quite clearly feel persecuted by the SFA over that business of the Sone Aluko dive and subsequent ban. Their way of registering their protest was to tell the SFA where to go – as is their right – while also chipping in with some singing about Fenian bastards, which is utterly moronic. The SPL will spring into action now. Not so much iron fist as feather duster. The bigots will get a right good tickling over this from the hardliners at Hampden."

Rangers are hopeful that former striker Nacho Novo, who has been training with the club over the Christmas period, will return to Ibrox from Sporting Gijon. (Daily Record)

Oh yes please.

An utterly odious little cunt well worthy of every bit of stick directed at him.

 

 

P.S. And he is shite, well past his sell by date, if indeed he ever had one.

Jelavic was "injured" yesterday. 

FUCKING HELL PART 2

Lee McCulloch will miss Rangers' next two games after the Scottish Football Association upheld his two-match suspension for violent conduct.

 

The midfielder was sent off during the defeat by St Mirren on Christmas Eve, but appealed and was able to feature against Celtic and Motherwell.

 

However, the SFA's fast-track tribunal dismissed the club's appeal.

 

McCulloch will now sit out the Scottish Cup tie against Arbroath and the league trip to St Johnstone.

 

He was sent off by referee Steven McLean following a clash with Graham Carey in the first half of the 2-1 defeat.

Why wasn't a further punishment given for "clearly coming the cunt"?
