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.

Looks like Sevco are going to try and avoid Dave King's EGM, citing the fact he's not fit and proper to be a board member (although that hasn't stopped many others!).

 

Crucial time for them, sounds like they may be forced to go with Ashley's loan, giving him security over Ibrox and Murray Park.  They will be rioting on the streets!!!

 

Still no word on a film getting made about all this!

Fuck off Wally you cunt! Why would he take a step down? Typical weegie press non-story

 

In the sense that he was asked if he could do the job and he said yes, following that immediately with being complimentary about our club.

 

 

It just gets better!

Kenny McDowall has tendered his resignation as caretaker manager of Rangers for "personal reasons".

The club say he will serve a 12-month notice period under the terms of his contract, as his predecessor Ally McCoist intended to.

And a statement from Ibrox said the 51-year-old will "remain 100% committed to his normal duties".

McDowall stepped up from his assistant's role when McCoist was placed on garden leave last month.

Excellent news, they do know Christmas is long gone right? Keep on giving presents! The Rangers, keeping Scotland amused since 2012.

As I mentioned earlier... Please let the next mug in line be Lee McCulloch!!

Lay any money the press try and link DM to the job. 

Allegedly MCDowell like Fat Sally before him gets a pay increase for resigning.

 

My money would be on Gordon Durie to be next caretaker.

Seemingly McDowalls daughter may be seriously ill. Anyway I've already seen some orcs call for McInnes but others have shot them down. There is no chance of that happening.

 

Bomber Brown, your time of destiny is upon you!

 

 

Seen this somewhere before LOL

Read that this morning tom. Fair play to them, I wouldn't trust the fuckers either

Has just been confirmed they've accepted a £10 million loan from Ashley with immediate effect as working capital.

 

Edit:

£5 million as working capital and £3million being used to pay back a loan from another ashley owned company

Loan secured against all club assets except Ibrox. Loan is coming from Sports Direct so suspect this is how SFA will get out of punishing Tribute Act for Ashley breaking dual interest rule.

Not that I was in the habit of shopping at Sports Direct but this confirms that I can never go back. 

Interesting tweet by celebrity wife beater and dogging fan Stan Collymore about Rangers, their fans and their History.

I expect a boycott Collymore march is already planned for this weekend.

Green tinted view of the green arse cheek and neatly avoids fact that ra selick have one convicted racist and one soon to be convicted racist currently playing for them. Both are dispicable clubs.

You have such a way with words jute, couldn't have put it more eloquently if I tried 

Rumour circulating the hooded hordes haven't sold out their 21,000 allocation for Sunday. Supposedly 15,000 tickets told with less than 48hrs to go

I bet that if they win they'll still be allocated more than 50% for the final, though. 

It just gets better...

Rangers manager Kenny McDowall claims he has been told by the club that the five loan signings made from Newcastle must be in his starting XI if fit.

 

Midfielders Gael Bigirimana and Haris Vuckic, defenders Kevin Mbabu and Remie Streete and left-sided Northern Ireland cap Shane Ferguson joined on Monday.

 

McDowall says he has been told by chief executive Derek Llambias and football board chairman Sandy Easdale that the quintet must start every game.  Rangers play Raith Rovers on Sunday.

 

The Scottish Cup fifth-round match at Ibrox, which will be shown live on BBC One Scotland, is a break from the Championship for Rangers where they trail Hearts by 16 points in the race for the title and the automatic promotion place that comes with it.

 

McDowall, who took over from Ally McCoist on 19 January when he was placed on gardening leave, recently handed in his notice to resign, just as McCoist had.

He is now working a 12-month notice period.

Hilarious.

The Zombies just keep on giving 

one thing clear is that The tax avoider 's press conference yesterday was probably a succulent lamb Mark II.

Less than 24 hours later the anti Ashley PR is ramped up.

 

A 'manager' who doesn't want the job, and is already voluntarily working his notice having had the job for less than a month, is complaining about being 'undermined'.

if it wasn't part of a bigger circus, this in itself would be a hilarious story.

 

I wonder what the consensus will be amongst the fans if these loan players lift the team dramatically on Saturday?

shouldn't be hard to be honest.
