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.

And still it gets better

And just how dodgy does Whyte look in that photo

30000 turned up at Hampden to see them scrap a 1-0 against the leagues only Amateur Club back in December

 

 

19000 of them have gone AWOL for today's 4-1 win.

 

 

Anyone taking bets on how many will turn up at Ibrox for the upcoming Clyde & Peterhead games?

Newspaper reports at the weekend quoted Mr Green as saying he sometimes refers to the former Ibrox director, Imran Ahmad, as his "little Paki friend".

Heard his interview on STV tonight claiming that if Messi was a Rangers player and had behaved as Sandaza had he would have been shown the door in the same manner. Aye right, you lieing thick Yorkshire cunt

It's fine to use the term Paki.

 

Apparently.

Glad we got that sorted oot.

Charlie boy issued with a notice of complaint.

Craig Whyte has been ordered to pay £18m to the finance firm Ticketus after he lost a claim against him at the High Court in London.

The firm, which provided nearly £27m to help the businessman purchase Rangers Football Club two years ago, said it had also been awarded interest and costs.

The former chairman of Rangers has until 26 April to lodge an appeal.

The court battle has no effect on current operations at Ibrox.

The judgement, handed down last Friday, ordered Mr Whyte to to re-pay £17.7m - plus £680,000 in interest, as well as legal costs.

Ticketus, which is part of Octopus Investments, said the court had ruled that Mr Whyte failed to disclose his business background when he signed for the finance in return for a portion of three years of season ticket sales.

 

Does he even have that kind of money to pay?

I can actually feel Der Hun's frothing at the mouth. Abody has it in for them don't they

The Scottish FA has written to Rangers chief executive Charles Green seeking clarification about his business dealings with Craig Whyte.

Whyte, who bought Rangers from Sir David Murray in 2011, is threatening to go to court to prove he still owns the club's assets.

    Those assets were transferred to Green's consortium after the club could not be saved from liquidation.

    And Green has insisted Whyte has no claim on Rangers.

    The Ibrox club began this season in Scottish Division Three after obtaining the SFA membership that had previously been held by Rangers in the Scottish Premier League.

    "We have to seek the facts and that's what we've done," said SFA chief executive Stewart Regan.

    "We've written to Mr Green, as chief executive of the club, and asked him to respond to a number of very specific points about the revelations last weekend.

    "And once we've got those answers, we'll be able to decide how we deal with it."

It's open season again.

 

Thatchers deed and Der Hun are in turmoil. This is agreeable to me.

Ouch:

Police have carried out a series of raids relating to the purchase of Rangers Football Club by Craig Whyte from Sir David Murray.

 

Police Scotland said they had "carried out a number of searches" in at addresses in both Scotland and England.

 

The statement said: "These searches related to both domestic and business premises.

 

"This remains an ongoing investigation, and no further information can be provided at this stage".

 

Massive crowd of 8,000 at the Hunnery last night to witness the first ever visit of their Irish cousins Linfield. This hard on the heels of the crwod at Queens Park last weekend being 30,000 down on the same fixture earlier this season. Looks like the filth are deserting the sinking ship like rats.

Contrast that with a crowd of almost 9000 at Firhill for the game against morton last night. Looks like the balance is swinging, and Der Hun are now apparently Glasgow's third team
