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.

Lets be fair now

Eh... Whit?  I really hope that's true, but it makes no sense whatsoever.

The board have called his bluff with this announcement. After his avoidance of the questions on Friday, now every fan knows that he is trying to leave, but making sure he gets a pay off. Surely even the thickest of Supper Ally fans will see this as treason?

10 staff lose their jobs last week. Meanwhile this fucking chancer is negotiating a pay rise for handing in his notice? He's got more neck than a giraffe.

 

I think Gordon Smith is a total prick, but this was a great article on the mess

He's a fucking idiot. He could have just walked with no pay off, and, as such, no confidentiality agreement. He could then have written a whistle blowing book about his perspective on sevco the past few years, made a fortune and kept his hun cunt rep

not sure what this is for, was on the SFA website sending a complaint about Paton spitting on Hayes then i seen this,

 

The Compliance Officer has issued the following Notices of Complaint:

 

Alleged Party in Breach: Rangers FC    :rofl: :rofl:

 

 

Disciplinary Rule(s) allegedly breached:

 

Disciplinary Rule 1: All members shall:

(b) be subject to and comply with (i) the Articles (ii) this protocol.

(f) behave towards the Scottish FA and other members with the utmost good faith.

 

BBC was reporting SFA up on charges over Ashley's involvement so I wonder if it's to do with that.

Telegraph now claiming SFA will allow Ashley to take over as Scotland needs a strong The Rangers. Cannot believe 3 years after the death of the original Rangers the media are still peddling this pish. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/11295462/Mike-Ashley-could-control-Rangers-and-Newcastle-United-within-weeks.html

Would be a complete farce. Can't see how they genuinely believe this?!? It frustrates the fuck out of me when I tell people down here that I want them to die again. Problem is they always associate Scottish football with those two are cheeks 

Another day, another laugh.

 

Liquidators BDO are investigating if they are due any of the Telfer £200k, since the "old club" were involved in training him for most of his 10 years.

SSN also reporting that SFA in talks with Ashley about allowing him to increase his control in The Rangers. As Manc has said absolute farce if true.

Apparently SPFL witholding tv cash (£250k) over the EBT thing

Shouldn't that money then filter down to the clubs that were denied that cash due to the cheating scum?

Really?

Good to see somebody come out and say it though!

Ashley's man now announced as CEO of Tribute Act.

murmurs that Ashley is going to simply 'write off' the 3million loan he gave them a few months back and then essentially give them another 8million loan (with no strings attached of course).

Some sort of masterplan that he can give his 'sports direct' business Champions league exposure.

 

This will of course result in Sally being punted before January is out.

Sally officially on gardening leave. McDowell now in charge.

Have to say I'm thoroughly disappointed by that news. He was doing a great job 

 

Hopefully they stick with McDowell and he does an equally shite job. Wouldn't want someone competent involved!

Until they can afford to pay off McCoist or come up with £8m they're due before April then I can't see anyone competent or right minded* wanting to be involved.

 

*does not apply to ex-huns like Butcher or McCall.

 

Bad news, McCoist was incredibly incompetent and the zombies were certainly going to struggle to gain promotion under his guidance.  Will McDowall be equally as incompetent? Lets hope so!!!

 

I think they may be scumbags....

Apparently it's complete lolfest on twitter

What a fucking joke of a "club".
