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.

:rofl:

Superb news.

As somebody on another forum said....140 miles of history gone! 

Rangers chief executive Craig Mather will pick up £500,000 per year at Ibrox - a salary that has angered some within the club, BBC Scotland has learned.

 

Mather was given the role on a permanent basis earlier this month, having initially taken an interim role following Charles Green's departure.

 

Green was on a salary of around £350,000 at Ibrox.

 

And the increase for the new CEO has raised eyebrows with some on the board and some major shareholders.

 

The concern comes as the club, it is understood, continues to lose cash on a monthly basis.

 

Mather invested £1m after Green, who left the club over allegations about his business dealings with former owner Craig Whyte , led a consortium to buy the club's assets following administration and liquidation last year.

 

One source told BBC Scotland: "Given where the club is at the moment, the salary is just bizarre.

 

"It appears to be a premiership salary for a Scottish Second Division chief executive.

 

"It comes at a time when the club continues to cut costs and just sends out the wrong message."

That is hilarious, 5 hunner grand a year.

 

Those cunts have not learned a single lesson and hell batter it right up the cunts.

 

Re the bus, I hear that they are going to get a new one, rename it and pretend that its the old one 

^^^ So, kinda a NewCoach?

SevCoach1690, only they'll try to airbrush out the fact that the original one went up in flames, going in the huff and threatening anyone who refers to The New Coach.

Another drop in the hun share price after a substantial amount of shares sold at a new low price.

ANother 1p down on share price, apparently being driven down by the rumours Ibrox has still to get a safety certificate due to an unsafe roof.

 

7 pre-season games for the huns - all away from home seems to point that work is being done.

Or that the cost of opening Ibrox compared to the money they'd get in from crowds means it makes sense to play away from home?...

Where they make no money. Newcastle game next week will see what happens.

A quick newsflash on other football matters:

 

Rangers say they'll seek clarification over what they believe are anomalies in punishments handed out to them and other clubs in administration. Hearts today received a transfer embargo until the end of January 2014, while Rangers were fined £50,000 last summer.

 

A club statement says Rangers also received a 12-month registration embargo but that was initially handed out for bringing the game into disrepute.

 

Aye the embargo that isn't?

 

Cunts, just as paranoid as the other arsecheek!

Have Forfar beaten them yet?

Yip 

Good.

McCoist must stay

So which player was it said they were aiming for four trophies this season?

 

Ummmmmmm

And Sally having a breakdown worthy of a bad football chatroom

Speaking afterwards at Station Park, when asked for his thoughts on Green's remarks, McCoist said: "I was appalled by them to be quite honest with you. "The self-acclaimed straight-talking Yorkshireman has again let himself down.

"His contempt and total lack of respect for my players, for our football club, for our support and Scottish football in general is appalling - and he is an embarrassment."

"If it was a threat then the self-acclaimed straight-talking Yorkshireman should know that boys from the West of Scotland don't scare easily.

"If he does come back, I'll certainly go and pick him at the airport. I won't have a problem doing that.

"It's just more hot air that we've come to expect from Charles."

And McCoist, who was unhappy with Green branding his players "the worst Rangers team ever" last season, made it clear he did not welcome the Yorkshireman's return.

He said: "After I've given him that endorsement it would be crazy of me to say 'welcome back Charles'.

"But our players picked up the newspaper at breakfast to be reminded they're the worst team in Rangers' history.

"I'll tell you, that would be bad luck - to have the worst Rangers team in history and the worst chief executive in history at the same time. That's downright bad luck.

 

 

Green had to protected by stewards at Forfar after the game as some of the unwashed tried to get to him after the game.

@BBCchrismclaug: BBC Scotland has learned the #Rangers chairman Walter Smith is on the brink of quitting after a weekend of bitter infighting at the club.

 

 

I've lost count of how many times all these cunts have done walking away. 

I love how even on the BBC article saying that he is most definitely walking away

Rumours are that Wallace, Shiels and Black will be offloaded.

 

 

He's only just gone and Walked Away
