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.

Brian Donohoe, what a complete fanny. Acted too quick indeed, this has been contested for fucking years.

Well, well, well.............

 

I spend one night in hospital when all this could have saved me the cost and antibiotics!

 

One point I seem to be missing, if the filthe get the dunt from the SPL surely there's no guarantee the automaticall get an SFL place. Shouldn't they have to start in the west of Scotland league or summat?

 

FFS it's worse than I thouht if this cheating cunt is embarrassed

 

Rangers legend Derek Johnstone admits he is embarassed to be assosciated with the Glasgow club after the process of entering administration started on Monday. (The Herald)

 

 

Hope big Doug is reading this 

The administrators have said that Rangers have £9M in unpaid tax since last May, when Whyte took over.

HMRC announce that todays administration action is in response to Rangers FC's failure to pay £9m in tax since Craig Whyte took over.

 

So he's still lying to the huns. Re-read yesterdays statement.

Deed yet?

My rasellik supporting pal (it's not his fault he was dropped at birth) claims it's a loyallist/royallist plot to undermine rasellik in Europe in 2012/13 by "weakening the local competition"

No offence to your mate MBT, but some of the Dims really are thick enough to believe it is some kind of conspiracy against them

 

As for Brian Donohoe....well just don't get me started on him

Oh, no offense, he really is thick, couldna even get a job at Dounreay!

 

Is there any-chance we can get the title of this thread changed back to "dirty filthy hun scumbag vermin news"?  It really had a ring to it.

It's no surprise to me that he's not been paying HMRC when it looks likely that his plan all along was to take the club into administration to avoid paying the £50 odd million liability.

Former Rangers director Paul Murray is willing to discuss a possible takeover of the ailing club.

 

Murray would consider approaching the administrators now running matters at Ibrox but would not work with current owner Craig Whyte.

 

"Would I come forward and help the club? Yes," Murray told BBC Scotland. "But I can't do that on my own, I would need to work with others.

 

"Would I be prepared to do that alongside Craig Whyte? No."

Should be "Dirthy Filthy Hun Scumbag Vermin in Administration"

I stand corrected 

Not "Let's All Laugh At Dirty Filthy Hun Scumbag Vermin in Administration"?

Anyone keen on a vote

I know this is really a very small point in the midst of us all laughing our heads off but how come it has taken HMRC 10/11 years to realise that they are owed £50million - they have changed my tax code 4 times this year and everytime I have paid more tax!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shamefully nicked from Mad.  The great 'Scottish football needs Rangers' lie.

The perpetual myth about Scottish football needing Rangers is blown wide open by this simple set of statistics:-

 

11 February 2012

 

Dunfermline 1-4 Rangers

 

Attendance: 7,464

 

13 November 2010

 

Dunfermline 2-2 Raith Rovers

 

Attendance: 7,158

 

23 April 2011

 

Dunfermline 2-1 Raith Rovers

 

Attendance: 11,052

We do need them for the TV deal and no tv money will seriously fuck the rest of us. Sky are on record saying if no old firm games then they would not invest in Scotland.

Anybody know how much we would lose with no TV Deal? We only get the 4 games each a season on the TV (obviously the infirm get every other game)!

Numbers were posted elsewhere a few wks ago, will try and look for them when I have a sec but money is split by league position not number of times on tv.

Really? I don't think it is somehow.

Money is split by Position PLUS the teams get a payment every time they are on the TV (an infirm scam as they are on every week).

I think it's only the home team who get the payment per game (around 70k I seem to have in my head?) to compensate for the loss in revenue with folk staying at home to watch it or reduced corporate sales for a lunchtime/sunday game.

Really? I thought there was an even split eveyone got and then by position.  Cup games etc are different with just those in the Live games getting extra cash.

It's not just about the money direct from the deal; no TV deal, sponsorship and advertising money drop as a direct result.

 

While I don't think Scottish Football would die without them, there is no way the situation is as rosey as some predict. There would be less money going through the game; we all know the standard of player here is as low as it has ever been... that won't improve with less money.  Foreign players would be less likely to come here, the good players we produce would be less likely to stick around for as long as they are just now and even then, that's not long.

 

People keep citing the 80s, and how ding the huns were then.  It's not a comparable situation because the game is now a "global game" more than ever and the amount of money in it has changed it almost beyond comprehension from the 80s.
