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.

Ah ok, and what's the big deal with them? Height of Scumbaggery?

 

Scum with money and expensive lawyers so they think they are untouchable and can say whatever they like.

Local Ned in Copeland road end would get community order, fine and stadium ban for sectarianism. This lot would get an extra bottle of champagne at half time

 

on yourself rory mcallister

2-1 peterhead.

 

this is ace!

 

Finished 2-2... still.. Enjoy Div 3 ya dicks!

Damn, was hoping it'd stay 2-1 and all other games were draws so they'd be bottom!

Heard that McCoist is furious that The Rangers have been deducted two points for failing to beat Peterhead.

 

"Have we not been punished enough?" he said after the game

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Seemingly Newcastle's finances ain't far off Oldco's

Heard they've paid up all their SPL debts with only Hearts yet to receive the full amount.  The rest of which will be paid in September(?).

 

Where's the dosh coming from?!

I would have thought that this is only a small portion of their debt?

 

don't they owe a few millions to teams abroad?

They do. Think its Rapid Vienna, Arsenal and Man City.

SPL prize money that they weren't given was used.

Ah. So they haven't actually "payed" it's been paid for them?

Arabs saying they haven't been paid a penny.

 

Sevco are lying about every single thing. Not a surprise given how utterly spineless the governing bods have been.

Phew!

 

Thought for a minute there they were being ran properly.

Wasn't paying football debts a condition of transferring oldcos SFA membership? Why were they granted membership before these were paid?

Just hurry up and fuck off:

 

Green tells fan that agenda exists against club

 

Rangers chief executive Charles Green told a fan queing up outside Ibrox for a season ticket yesterday that there is an agenda against the Glasgow club and that he will continue to be outspoken in his criticism of the country’s footballing authorities.

 

He said that he expects to be continually fined and eventually banned for his comments.

 

The club also announced yesterday that close to 30,000 season tickets had been sold for its Division Three campaign.

 

(Scotsman)

STV has obtained the wording of a letter believed to have been sent by the Scottish Premier League to Rangers on May 18, 2012.

 

In the correspondence, the SPL agrees to meet a debt owed by Rangers to Dundee United, totaling just over £31,000, taken from competition money due to the Ibrox club for finishing second in the league in the 2011/12 season.

 

The letter, from SPL secretary Iain Blair, read: "The Board of the Scottish Premier League Ltd considered the application by Dundee United that the outstanding sum due by Rangers to Dundee United of £31,031.20 be offset against the next sums due to Rangers by SPL Ltd, with the offset sum being paid to Dundee United.

 

"The board decided to accede the application to Dundee United and accordingly the sum will be withheld from the next sum payable by the SPL Ltd to Rangers, and the sum will be paid by the SPL Ltd to Dundee United."

 

All of this income from SPL relates surely to old co though......... Any money due from SPL should go into the pot to pay creditors from old co. New Co made an issue of paying old co footballing debts (to gain league membership) therefore put simply Charles Green's New Co is liable....surely end of....

 

 

 

 

[move]STUMP UP YA CHEATING BASTARDS[/move]

actually given the fact I thought they sold 30,000 season tickets yesterday, surely they must have a few quid kicking about to pay the Arabs

Not based on the wages they must still be paying.
