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.

unless its a temporary license subject to the EBT investigation

Fuck this shit!

At this rate even a club that doesn't exist, with NO FUCKING MONEY is going to end up wi a "better" squad than half the SPL/All the SFL, none of whom are tax cheat, liars, bullies and shit-gobblers!

 

And, m'lud, just HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY AFFORD TO PAY THEM?

 

A new round of EBTs? We're so cheeky and *cough* honest now we really wouldn't do it again

ust another thought, is this gonna make TFCFKAR the new "diet hearts"? 

For the love of fuck

 

I swear to God this could only happen in as CORRUPT a country as ours

How the fuck can you be given temporary membership of a football association.

The Huns should by now have  been sent into oblivion

 

Could be classified as a joke.......only thing is its not funny, its just corrupt

 

Bunch of fucking tossers the lot of them

Every thing that comes out just pushes me further and further away from Scottish football.

in what way? this has turned out to be far less of a slap in the face than everyone expected up until a couple of weeks ago.

 

i don't recall anyone ever saying they thought they'd be 'punished' more than they have been.

In what way have they been punished exactly?

well the bbc statement doesnt answer all my questions

 

Have yon currents actualy backed down and said 'fine investigate our cheating and we will also pay our debts to hearts, Vienna and co'

 

Or is it going to be a rolling temporary license for the next 10 years?

they didn't get to the spl or div 1 and they have a signings ban and (very) partial debt liability.

 

I'm not saying they've got what they deserve in terms of being meaningfully punished, i'm asking how 'everything that happens pushes you further away from scottish football' when things aren't as bad as they looked like they were going to be for a long time.

Huns have rolled on every issue. EBT investigation/punishments to come, TV package agreed between SPL and SFL, 12 month signing ban etc. Temp membership allows them to play this weekend with next Friday the deadline for all the legal formalities to be dealt with before allowing them full membership.

I don't really understand why they should be punished as they are a new club?

Really? I see the SFA and SPL be doing everything in their power to help them. No other club would be allowed to negotiate their membership. They would have to comply with membership criteria and that's it. Also which other club would be allowed to negotiate on punishment for systematically cheating for over 10 years. No other club would have been put straight in.

If they want to transfer the SFA membership then they are the same club. If they want new SFA membership they need 3 years of accounts.

Is the correct answer

THIS.

The amount of mutual bum-banditry between tcfkar and the footballing bodies is staggering.

 

Also when are Sally and Greeny going to be punished for their continual whiningly outrageous bleating which is surely "bringing the game into disrepute"?

Aye, fuck off you guffy cunt.

He's not wrong in what he says about the way Scottish football has been run since the formation if the spl

Apparently they're in the same strips with the same badge and the same songs.,...

 

..........so hopefully they have to pay the same fines etc to HMRC?

Kirk Broadfoot finally found his level?

 

Alexander, Goian, Bocanegra, Broadfoot, Wallace, McKay, Black, Hutton, Macleod, Little, McCulloch. Subs: Gallacher, Naismith, Crawford, Cole.

 

 

Fuck me, that's an expensive side for div3 and a "team" wi nae cash!

fuck me this ref is a pussy. Could they not have hired a non SPL ref for this occasion?

BOOOM!!!

 

EQUALISER!!!!
