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.

Brechin game moved as its live on Alba. Sky reporting Sevco will have SFA membership in next 24 hours.

 

BBC reporting the last part is bollocks. Green wants EBT invertigation dropped and Cockwomble allegedly isnt budging.

That's a bit short sighted of him.

 

According to stv Ian Black is signing a 3 year deal.  Is there something wrong with him?

 

 

Nae a bad signing for a 3rd division team though. He has a real eye for goal.

Dropping the EBT investigation would be simply unacceptable.  Green/Sevco/McMoist can GTF.

Cockwomble doing something right? Steady.

They know they've burnt their toast. They want no further punishment even if found guilty. Surely even Doncaster is not that stupid?

This entire situation is bullshit.

It should be:

Seveco: can we join the SFA please

SFA: Yes but you need to meet the following criteria, and as we are generously bending the rules for you, some reasonable (potential) sanctions

Seveco: We don't accept the potential sanctions

SFA: The door is over there.

 

SFA: The door is over there.

Billy Dodds hasn't come out of this well has he? Further vomit inducing stuff:

Caught with his hand firmly on an EBT cookie, unrepentant jug eared fucking Hun cunt.

I can't see very much of that article. what does it say after the first paragraph?

It is totally ludicrous. They aren't anywhere near a position where they have any bargaining power whatsoever.

 

How about:

 

1. No, you can't have an SFA license as you cunts have clearly not learned any lessons and there is still too much uncertainty surrounding the leadership's (whoever they may be) credentials to be deemed 'fit and proper' to run a football club.

2. You bought the remains of the Oldco, so be prepared to be punished for the wrongdoings of the Oldco. EBTs, dual contracts, the fucking lot.

3. Don't like it? Then just fuck off you verminous shytehawks.

Also with all these players (allegedly) signing on for 3 years I would guess that Seveco have been assured that they will be in the equivalent of the SPL within 2 years thanks to restructuring (which suddenly has become fashionable)

I recently wrote a letter to complain about the termininology used by the BBC when mentioning Rangers in various reports.

 

This is the reply I have received today regarding my letter. The sooner this registration is agreed to our benefit the better.

 

Dear Mr xxxxxxxxxx

 

Reference xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Thank you for contacting us.

 

Your comments were passed to the Sports Editor, who has asked that I forward his response as follows:

 

"Thank you for your comments.

 

It's important for the BBC's audience that a clear distinction is made between the former Rangers company and the new company owned by Charles Green's consortium - and the football entity formerly known as "Rangers FC".

 

Currently, there is no professional club registered in Scotland with the Scottish Football Association or the Scottish Football League named "Rangers" or otherwise (i.e. "Rangers FC", "The Rangers" or any other similar name - although, there is a separate club known as "Berwick Rangers"). The company known as "The Rangers Football Club PLC" is currently in administration and will inevitably be liquidated.

 

The company owned by Charles Green is known as "Sevco 5088 Ltd". Mr Green also owns another company known as "Sevco (Scotland) Ltd." - this is the company which Mr Green claims has purchased all of Rangers' assets - purportedly including Ibrox Stadium, Murray Park, the Albion St car park, the player registrations and the club's membership of the Scottish Football Association and its share in the Scottish Premier League. However, the status of the "club" - i.e. the football entity - is currently in limbo after the old club's registrations were effectively terminated when it filed for insolvency.

 

At a meeting on Monday 4 July 2012, the SPL voted unanimously to reject an application to transfer the old company's share in the SPL to Mr Green's Sevco. Subsequently, Sevco applied for membership of the Scottish Football League, and, following a vote at Hampden on Friday 13 July, was accepted into the SFL setup. Also at that vote, Sevco was refused entry to SFL Division One, but was offered a place in SFL Division Three - and, subject to Scottish Football Association approval, the newco will start life in the SFL Third Division. However, it is not yet clear if Rangers will actually play football next season or not - at this stage, Sevco has only been given an agreement in principle to participate in the Scottish Football League Third Division - it has yet to obtain an SFA licence and fully register as a Scottish football club. When this happens, the SFA will undoubtedly clarify if there has been transference of the club's membership from the oldco to the newco, or if an entirely new club membership registration has been approved. Certainly, the BBC will seek clarification on this issue.

 

Given this, BBC Scotland has taken the editorial decision, in the interests of clarity for the audience, to refer to "Rangers oldco" and "Rangers newco" in order to accurately reflect the legal status of the company and the football registration status of the club, in addition to any sanctions that may or may not be issued."

 

Thank you, once again, for taking the time to contact us.

Pwnt.

Did anyone see the quality trolling by Deano on his Twitter. He RT's Savage's tweet about playing for the Huns and he was getting all sorts of "Yas Deano! WATP" and "You'd still tear up Division 3 FTP WATP!!". Deano's response was more or less "LOL JK I'm a Don" which set up a nice torrent of abuse from our friends at Sevco.

 

Deano is still a Don at heart

 

Good man

 

There is always fun to be had in baiting Huns

was it actually him though?

 

seems there are multiple deanos on twitter

I notice the BBC site has this

Peterhead V Dundee 19:45

Surely some mistake?

No Dundee are in the first round of the league cup

I thought they'd be bumped being SPL club now? If I wad dundee I'd be a bitty pissed off having to play before, say, a div3 club.

Or is there something sinister in this regarding "the team that has no name"?

Not everything's a conspiracy ye ken. The promoted team has had to play LC first round for a few seasons now.
