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.

But you'll get all excited about rumours of McInnes shagging his way through the squad?

 

Hun sympathizer

 

Hardly getting excited, more like I'm trying to understand what the fuck has happened to our team who went 8 games undefeated and taking maximum points whilst only conceding 3 goals. Just because you love his beard.

Alex Thomson doesn't pull any punches in this.

A message for Rangers:

The Fred Goodwin approach

The arrogance is unbelievable. Horrible, horrible club.

Of course this prick would say that, he was complicit in all of this as it was on his watch!  Unbelievable that, well I guess it is believable as it is Scottish football, that some folk are calling for it to be swept under the carpet. No. Haul them over the coals for this. Let them rot.

The Scottish Football Association will defend itself after Mike Ashley lodged a court challenge to its approval of Dave King's appointment at Rangers.

 

Rangers shareholder Ashley has asked for a judicial review of the decision to pass King as a fit and proper person to join the Championship club's board.

 

The case is due to be heard on 4 February after an initial date of 11 December was postponed.

 

Ashley's petition will challenge the SFA's decision-making process.

 

The Newcastle United and Sports Direct owner holds just under 9% of Rangers shares and his company has a retail agreement with the Glasgow club.

 

Rangers' board has put forward a resolution to this month's annual meeting for the removal of voting rights of any shareholder involved in another football club.

 

Meanwhile, Ashley has begun legal action against King over an alleged breach of an interim injunction.

 

King was freed to take the chairman's role in May, having earlier led a successful bid to oust the club's previous board.

 

The SFA had taken time to assess King's suitability given his tax convictions in South Africa.

 

It consulted the relevant authorities in South Africa and Scotland, including the police, the South Africa Revenue Service and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, before allowing King to become chairman.

They are in serious financial soapy, losses mask the cash burn which was £12.5m..... they need a lot more than £2.5, rememeber £5m of the £12.5m cash was from Big Mike...

Some brilliantly deluded questions and answers in that article...

 

I'm sure The Rangers fans will buy it hook line and sinker though.

Presume they need their mates in the media touting bread boy for any and every job in england in the hope that a compensation package will enable them make it till the end of the season?

Apparently the £5m to Ashley is STILL outstanding despite all the noises coming out of Ipox.

It was said in court yesterday (10th) that the 5m was paid back, the day before.

In the same court appearance that the Sports Direct lawyer got his Arse handed to him, according to most accounts.

From reading the live tweets yesterday, he most certainly did. Although the judge told the king hun to not to speak to the press, what does he do? Speaks to the press...only good news is is that it's costing them both money to be there

Apparently not. Supposedly they are £500k short and are currently spending about £200k on this court trip

I feel a recruitment drive is required to swell the Blue Toon's support on April 10th.

Noticed that, fucking SFA.

Suppose they make more money from it? But I would have thought that it also weakens their chances of actually winning. This is a world cup final for the newco orcs.

Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne claims it is time for Scottish football to move on from talk of whether to strip Rangers of titles - and get the Ibrox club back in the Premiership. (Daily Mail)

 

Milne admits he wants to see Rangers win promotion to the top flight, insisting that the Premiership will benefit from having the Ibrox club and Hibs back in the league. (The Sun)

 

I agree with Milne.

 

Much as I despise them and everything they stand for - bigoted sectarianism being the bond that binds them the most - Scottish football benefits when the biggest teams are in the top flight.

 

I also couldn't give a fuck about the titles being stripped. It was a different company that won them and we all know they cheated with the EBT's so these are great put-downs, factually-based as they are to be used whenever a hun cunt gets uppity.

That's the way I'm beginning to see things too to be honest.

I want Robbie Winters to get a Scottish cup medal for playing in goals!

Unfortunately I believe that final is outwith the EBT years

From today's BBC gossip

 

New lenders John Bennett, Barry Scott and Andy Ross - the latter two based in Hong Kong - have joined chairman Dave King and directors Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor in providing credit facilities to the Ibrox club. (Daily Record) 

 

Meanwhile, Rangers will complete their second signing of the January transfer window with Polish free agent goalkeeper Maciej Gostomski moving to Glasgow after winger Harry Forrester signed a short-term deal. (Sun) 

 

They need MORE credit, but are signing MORE players? Surely this needs to end
