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.

Reached an out of court settlement with Ahmed this morning.

Ach well every £ he took them for is a £ closer to extinction of this horrible mob

Have they released what the out of court settlement was? Shame, I had high hopes for this guy.

Exceptionally bad day to be a zombie....

 

 

1. Paid out compo to Ahmed

2. Ashley says he won't increase his stake in Der Hun

3. They marginally reach their cash target via share issue.

4. Take point one away from point three and they're still fucked.

 

 

In summary...... burn ya bastards

Anyone else...?

 

Sevco board members "we're short on our targets for the share issue"

 

Member of sevco board "I've got an idea."

 

To Ahmed "Heres a shiteload of shares in sevco as settlement"

 

To sevconians " We managed to 'sell' all the shares"

BBC saying they sold about 15660000 (minimum required was 15000000)

 

Daily muppet were speculating that Ashley was planning to sell Newcastle utd so he could invest more money down Ibrox way. 

Looks like Moshni's comments about Hibs have fired them up as currently beating the Zombies 3-0 at the £1 Sports Direct Stadium with only 40 minutes gone.

Aye, but we all know there'll be 5 penalties for the tax-cheats in the second half

Bahahaha useless Hun bastards. Mosnhi properly screwed them over with those comments.

Fit did he say like?

Basically said hibs aren't their title contenders. Oops.

 

Edit: Also, why the fuck is it a shock that Hibs, an ex SPFL side, beat Sevconians at home?!

Hibs goalkeeper has more league goals to his name this season than Kris Boyd.

Ally McCoist has hinted that he could never manage another club should he leave Rangers.

 

Like he'd get the chance?

 

Rangers manager Ally McCoist insists it is wrong to expect his side to win the Scottish Championship at a canter because their football budget is so vastly superior to anything else in the league and is unapologetic in suggesting he would accept promotion through the play-offs.

 

In other words........"I'm a shite manager" and "I'm fucking desperate"

It's fucking astounding he's lasted this long. Should Hearts continue their current form I can't see fat cheat sally lasting beyond Christmas. If only hibs or Falkirk would pull the finger oot he could get his p45 even sooner.

Thing is they cannot afford to sack him. Apparently it will cost them £1.5M to get rid of Fat Sally and his two assistants.

I hope you're right.  If Hearts are well ahead come January I fully expect the huns to have 'come to an agreement' with the management team to go their separate ways.

Lolz

Appears as if they were going to go tits up again this week were it not for Ashley's loan.

Would boycott his shops as point of principle but haven't set foot in one of them for years anyway.

4 lifted in England

 

They are being held in connection with the alleged "fraudulent acquisition" of the Ibrox club in 2012.

 

The raid took place at a number of addresses and officers from Thames Valley Police, Cheshire Police and Surrey Police assisted their Scottish counterparts.

Surely there will be a film made about all this at some point?

Four Lions pt 2?  It is that ridiculous and laughable!

So the point in "calling up" a player from the most odious "club" in the world, ahead of better players, was......?

The gift that just keeps on giving 

 

Warrant to be issued for the arrest of Craig Shyte as well.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30053692

An arrest warrant has been issued for former Rangers owner Craig Whyte following an investigation into the club's sale in 2011, it is understood.

 

The development came after four men were detained in England.

 

David Grier, Paul Clark and David Whitehouse worked for Duff and Phelps, who were Rangers' administrators.

 

Gary Withey worked for law firm Collier Bristow, which represented Craig Whyte before he bought Rangers from Sir David Murray for £1 in 2011.

 

The four men were held during early morning raids at addresses across the UK in an operation that involved officers from Police Scotland, Surrey Police, Cheshire Police and Thames Valley Police.

 

Police Scotland have been investigating the sale of Rangers from Sir David Murray to Craig Whyte for more than a year.

 

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Four men have been detained as a result of the ongoing investigation into the alleged fraudulent acquisition of Rangers Football Club.

 

"Around 6am on Friday, Police Scotland officers, assisted by officers from Thames Valley Police, Cheshire Police and Surrey Police, attended a number of addresses in England and detained four men."

 

Duff and Phelps spokesman Marty Dauer said the firm was aware that three employees in the UK had been "detained for questioning in connection with work performed for Rangers Football Club".

 

He said this work "was commenced while these employees were part of MCR Partners, prior to its acquisition by Duff & Phelps in October of 2011".

 

He added: "Duff & Phelps has performed an internal investigation and commissioned an independent investigation of the related matters.

 

"As a result, we believe that our work for Rangers was conscientious, thorough and properly performed in every respect.

 

"Duff and Phelps has actively co-operated with all relevant investigating authorities throughout this process."

 

Mr Dauer said a subsequent review by the Insolvency Practitioners Association in 2013 had "cleared the firm of any wrongdoing or conflict of interest" over its involvement with Rangers.

 

Rangers manager Ally McCoist said: "Obviously I can't or wouldn't comment on a current police matter, but I would have to say I'm shocked.

 

"Obviously I can't pre-judge what is going to happen.

 

"Our concern has always been for the staff and supporters. What's happened to us in the last two-and-a-half, three years has been very tough, particularly on the staff and supporters.

 

"We just want to continue with our attempts to get the club back to where we feel we belong."

 

The development is the latest twist in a three-year saga involving Rangers.

 

Mr Whyte bought Rangers from Sir David Murray for £1 in May 2011 and gave an undertaking to settle its £18m Lloyds Bank debt.

 

It later emerged he paid the debt by selling three years of season tickets to finance firm Ticketus for £25m.

 

Rangers entered administration on 14 February 2012, while under Mr Whyte's control, over non-payment of tax totalling about £14m.

 

Mr Clark and Mr Whitehouse from Duff and Phelps were appointed as joint administrators.

 

HMRC subsequently rejected a creditors agreement which would have allowed Rangers to exit administration.

 

That resulted in Charles Green's consortium taking control and Rangers being accepted to play in the Scottish Third Division.

 

The administration and subsequent liquidation of Rangers resulted in Mr Whyte's deal with Ticketus being declared void. The finance firm successfully sued him for £18m over the failed deal.

 

Mr Whyte was later banned from being a company director for the maximum period of 15 years after a judge heard his conduct in dealing with Rangers was "shocking and reprehensible".
