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.

Rangers manager Stuart McCall wants to see accumulated yellow cards scrapped at the end of the league season, removing the prospect of having players suspended during the play-offs.

Lets change it.....next season

A Rangers club statement said: “The Board of Rangers International Football Club has today informed the SPFL of their intention that Rangers season-ticket holders will not be charged to attend the play-off matches at Ibrox.

 

what are they, an airport now?!?

Another example of SPFLs short sightedness about the whole situation.

 

Last season I suspect they were so confident hibs would stay up and that yon blue meanies would never in a million years be struggling for promotion through the common method of playoffs that they said 'aye let yer season ticket holders in for free'

 

12 months later and the issue comes up again but now there is a precedent....and we all know what happens when precedents favour celtic and Glasgow's 3rd airport

So wages due to be paid yesterday was it? Maybe today or tomorrow, but either way it's likely to be Ashley paying for it again.  Supposedly they asked him for more funding last week; he asked for assurances of Murray to be removed, his two men to be given a public apology and reinstated and.... and...

 

McCoist's salary to be made common knowledge.  Now why would he want that in the public domain...?

Excellent news Bobby, i'm sure there will be plenty of angry huns around when they realise how much moisty was on. Very Shrewd Ashley, thank fuck he's not in control of our club! 

The players contracts are now with Sports Direct apparently.

 

I doubt they've been paid yet

Post season entertainment starting early perhaps?

Even the new facebook age recognition facility knows the truth:

Pretty please let it be

 

hahahahaha he knows they can't pay it back without major ramifications. 

 

Dead Duck FC.

I assume there wasn't a set period of time to repay it? Did the Rangers board really agree to a loan that Ashley could recall at the drop of a hat whenever he felt like it?

Very possible that they did as they were desperate and he was only one willing to lend them the cash. Suspect he was able to dictate whatever terms he wanted.

;D

Believe I saw on MAD that the letter gave them 10 days to respond. Letter was sent on 29th April so the 10days expired either on 9th or 13th depending on if it was 'working' days.

I read somewhere that they had "until Wednesday" to respond. I assumed that meant next Wednesday but maybe it was yesterday. 

Well, they've failed. Can't see the huns throwing this away.

atm its Queens 1 up making it 2-2...

 

  have prayed to the football God for a miracle. So come on Queens finish the job

 

One each, half hour to go

Hopefully Hibs can save Scottish football the embarrassment of allowing this diddy team into the big leagues.

I hope so but the problem that I foresee here is that Hibs are also in fact utter shite. And Motherwell are worse. :-(

well the tax dodger who helped wipe them out the first time has been declared 'fit & proper'
