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.

I'm not 100% sure on the release date, but why not pre-order in on Amazon? at £8.99 with free Delivery it represents excellent value!

The way the Huns mobilise for a cause is impressive and might be something to admire if it wasn't for the fact that it is used to promote falsehoods, spread propaganda and hide or at the very least muddy the waters of truth regarding the increasingly dispicable and contemptable way their club has been run over the last 20 odd years.

It's generally easier to mobilise those incapable of independent thought.

Anyone get wind of Derek Riordan's incessant winding up of the huns on twitter yesterday? #PennilessArcade

Was actually quite humourous.

Haha the guy has gone up in my estimations!

How hard would it be to get in excess of 10,000 non-Rangers fans inside Ibrox on a matchday?

Serious question.

It would depend on the availability of rabies jabs.

Some of Green's comments on the bbc are unbelievable, what a fucking fud.

 

My hatred for them as a collective group, whether they be oldco, newco or whateverfuckingco, burns as strong as ever inside me.

I see that Riordon has decided to close his twitter account today due to death threats from newco/oldco/sevco huns. Some people really take life too seriously (i'm not talking about Riordon).

what exactly happens if yon tax man says 'guilty ya cunts?'

 

Can they say 'Sorry Mr Green, those assets you apparently bought were not yours to buy. Hand over the keys right now'?

 

Or is it going to be a 'morale victory' after which they then spend several years making a decision on David Murray and Co?

 

Presumably Greener will just move Sevco to "The Cunts Premier League" and then refuse to acknowledge the UK courts as "The Cunts Premier League" are not subject to UK tax laws.

The Ibrox club could be back in Europe next season - if they won the Scottish Cup and the SFA invited them. (Sun)

 

Surely even the Sunk must know there's a EUFA ban for at least 3 years?

Templteton carried off on a stretcher too. I dont have any ill feeling towards the boy and wish him a good recovery however I am enjoying the prospect of the player they spent to much time trying to sign before the embargo (instead of say getting 5 in)  not being able to play for them

Latest from Tomo:

 

One or two Rangers supporters have been asking in recent weeks why I decided to write the foreword for Phil Mac Giolla Bhain’s book on Rangers, Downfall.

 

There’s been rather a lot of noise about this so let me stick to some clear facts which illustrate why I endorse the book and why it is telling that – as far as the publisher is aware – not one MSM newspaper in Scotland has reviewed the book as yet.

 

Which is odd, since it is currently into a third print-run; it is billed as Scottish Book of the Month in WHSmith and has been high in the Amazon bestseller lists.

 

It is also (small detail lost in ear-spitting hysteria) the truth about Rangers.

 

I’ve had the usual endearing tsunami of abuse from a small number of Rangers’ fans for endorsing a book most claim not to have read (yes, I know…) But not one single communication taking issue with the facts, substance and truth of Downfall.

 

The book is the truth – and no Rangers fan reading it will disagree with that. This is why I endorsed it.

 

I have never met Mr Mac Giolla Bhain.

 

He was not the source for any of the major stories about Rangers Channel 4 News broke this year.

 

He wishes to see Rangers FC obliterated as far as I can discern.

 

I wish to see Rangers in the Champions League again.

 

Mr Mac Giolla Bhain supports Celtic. I (let me say this just one more time) don’t.

 

He writes about Rangers’ downfall with undisguised glee and mirth. I write, saddened for their legions of loyal fans so badly sold out by the suits.

 

But as a journalist and an outsider to this cauldron I simply want the facts of Rangers’ implosion in the public domain and those responsible held to account.

 

That is why I made this clear in my foreword. And made it clear I do not, could not, share the Celtic-driven motivation of Mr Mac Giolla Bhain and other notable bloggers.

 

However, though the author and I may be in very different places, we want the truth about what happened.

 

So all those interested should have one simple question in mind – is the book the truth of the Rangers fiasco? That, ultimately is all that matters.

 

I believe it is.

 

I also believe the bizarre adventures of “Downfall” en route from the printers to the bookshelves prove an important dimension of the book and of my investigations into Rangers.

 

Namely, the way in which the MSM in Glasgow have been outflanked by the bloggers and their distaste for handling the truth the bloggers have consistently delivered.

 

Time and again the bloggers got the story first, and they mostly got it right. With some notable exceptions, Glasgow’s MSM were left playing catch-up and even now, handed the story on a plate, bizarre things happen.

 

The Scottish Sun’s u-turn and refusal to serialise, having done a double-page spread promoting the author and the coming serialisation-that-never-was will long remain a baffling and scarcely explained episode.

 

Apparently it was not worries about a boycott. Apparently it was not the result of intimidation.

 

But didn’t The Sun publish two pages on the author being threatened by Rangers’ fans in their own pre-serialisation splash?

 

Didn’t The Sun approach the publisher asking for serialisation rights and not the other way round?

 

Curiouser and curiouser…

 

So a man comes along plainly telling the truth about Rangers. Nobody disputes that. The Sun un-serialises and starts apologising. No other paper publishes so much as a review.

 

And a review of a book which charts many things and one is – guess what?

 

Yup – the strange, historic reluctance of the MSM in Glasgow to handle the truth of what happened at Ibrox.

 

Many thought that culture was something of the past, gone with Sir David and Craig, history. Many thought that things are different now in Glasgow. The bizarre conduct of the MSM over Downfall suggests to some that the fear, the deference, is alive and well.

 

Others will say Scotland’s newspapers completely ignoring the inside story of the nation’s biggest-ever sporting business catastrophe and near ruination of a gigantic footballing culture, was, well, just coincidence.

 

Nothing to see here. No story. Move along please.

 

Any one read said book?  Any good?

I thought it's nae out yet?

 

I recon it'll be a great beach read.

I look forward to buying it, Tim fan or not, it appears he's for a lot correct.

What fucking pricks they are. That's two people in less than a month they have forced out of a job for a small club. Such sensitive wee souls.

 

From Chris McLaughlin:

 

#SFA issue complaint against Charles Green. Charge - bringing game into disrepute by saying SPL investigation into EBT's already decided.

 

Second Green charge - not acting in best interest of the game by calling into question the integrity of #SPL commission. #Rangers #SFA

if you read the comments below apparently hun is a sectarian slur

Just read the comments...

 

the P.A. guy at Falkirk pillared for his disgusting rant, all these Wee Hoopy are being shot down one after another when they make their SECTARIAN, BIGOTTED RANTS.

 

Did the Falkirk tannoy guy not just call Rangers the "sevco franchise"? Terrible bigotry that is.

 

And making some words upper case just shows that someone has read far too many shite newspapers.

 

 

Arrests at every away game, Constant slander from the boardroom, bullying staff at small clubs, hounding them out a job and then twisting history (shock!) to make out as though other people were sectarian, when actually der hun just had a total sense of humour bypass.

 

Then you add in the last few years of oldco full of cheating, uefa banning orders, drunken violence and domestic abuse.

 

I genuinely don't want to find out just what it would take for Scotland's football authorities to understand that they should have taken the opportunity to fling these cunts out once and for all.

 

They bring nothing good to our game. Never have and never will.
