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 boss Mark Warburton says he was pleasantly surprised there were no late offers for winger Barrie McKay and hopes to keep the 22-year-old beyond the 18 months remaining on his contract

 

Oh was he now?  That might be because he's shite and not worth the toilet paper he was likely to have been conceived on

At least his surname is spelled correctly.

I can imagine the reaction a certain poster had to this

Tell that to your granda

The liquidators of the Rangers oldco are taking a near £30million legal action against the club’s former administrators.

Saw these two in the BBC gossip section, looks like Sevco's much-heralded chief scout is dumping them, but Sevco are busy trying to make it look like they are sacking him 

 

Rangers chief scout Frank McParland is set to quit' date=' throwing into doubt the long-term future of manager Mark Warburton. McParland has been left frustrated by the lack of backing he feels his manager has received in the transfer market.[/quote']

 

Unhappy with the value for money offered by Joey Barton, the crocked duo of Niko Kranjcar and Jordan Rossiter, and more recent captures including Philippe Senderos and Joe Garner, senior club figures at Ibrox believe a revamp of the scouting operation is essential if Rangers are to get closer to Celtic next season.

Magic Hat has left the building.

Cue tomorrow's headlines linking Del to the vacancy

Chris McLaughlin says Warburton isn't aware of the statement and hasn't resigned. 

These cunts are comedy gold.

Morton hackers playing mind games

Breadman was always out of his depth at any club attracting crowds of more than 5k.

 

This is his limits being found out. Eventually.

 

Useless uninspiring guffy cunt. Fuck him. And fuck those sick cunts who paid his wages.

The club that just keeps giving.

There's no danger they are not going to want to at least speak to dm. We face interesting times.

And as if by magic, here we go

These cunts find it impossible to do anything with a bit of dignity.

 

SCUM

They won't want a Scottish manager, they'll be expecting someone to leave a major European club and come to Ibrox.

 

 

They must have someone in mind already.

 

Mind you, that would imply that the whole thing was done with foresight and not just in some fit of temper.

 

Should be fun either way, my money is on that they make an arse of it.

 

 

 

 

Souness anyone?

If he has gone they will undoubtedly make a move for McInnes. Be a good test of his character to see how much he really does like us. I would really, really hate for him to go to THEM and would think a lot less of him if he decided o leave a reasonably well run club at Aberdeen to join the a disgusting organisation such as the zombies and all they stand for. Move on and progress is one thing, but to join THEM is not progress in my eyes.

 

Even if they don't want McInnes I am sure they will try and unsettle by making a move or getting their pals in the press to stir things up. I await to hear a Chick Dung exclusive tomorrow on th radio.

McInnes will go to Ibrox. That's as obvious as the fact that he will fail there and get punted within 17 months.

Not convinced. Mcinnes is intelligent. That place is a fucking circus that's only heading one way. Their lack of activity in the window wasn't because they were uncertain about Warburton, it's because they've got nae money and they can't borrow any. They're a fucking shambles. They won't even be able to afford McInnes if he was willing to go either. Bunch of charlatan cunts, slowly heading back into admin.

Interesting indeed. McInness is not exactly a Rangers legend, played as many games for them as Ben Thornley played for us! I cant see him going, he's built a lot here at a relatively settled and stable club, and convinced the likes of Hayes and Shinnie to stay of late. Don't think he's ready to leave us just yet, plus Rangers is a shit show. No clue if DM is a rangers fan but just can't see it happening.

right so, hang on.... i'm confused.

 

According to this BBC story,  Sevco have said the Hat, his assman and the chief scout have all resigned, but they have all denied this?

 

The Scottish Premiership club say they have accepted the resignations of Warburton, assistant David Weir and head of recruitment, Frank McParland.

 

But Warburton, who took charge in 2015, told BBC Scotland he has not stood down and was unaware of the statement.

 

Reading further, it sounds like the three of them approached Sevco to negotiate their release for the Nott Forest jobs, and Sevco agreed to waive wanting compensation.  Then they didn't get the jobs, but Sevco saw an opportunity to sack them without paying THEM compensation, and accepted their previous resignations?

 

That's too funny  :rofl:

 

I'm pretty sure Deek has more sense than to touch this lot with Willo's hathanger.

And as if by magic, here we go

 

I made it as far as Frank de Boer on that list before i had to stop due to uncontrollable laughter 

Gotta love the zombies for providing us with the ongoing entertainment. 

 

There's got to be yet another court case coming their way if things are how it's been reported, i.e. the magic man not having offered his resignation at all.

 

You look at his signings and it's no wonder sevco want rid... Barton, Senderos, Garner, Krankjer etc etc.... not one decent singing amongst them.

 

Keep it up sevco, loving your work.

I agree. I was pished when I wrote that.

 

Sometimes declaring negative outcomes is a guard against being disappointed if and when they happen. I've criticised McInnes when I feel he's deserved it but compared to every other clown manager in the last 25 years, he's clearly the best we've had. I dreamt we were playing beautiful football consistently and won admiration all over the world. Hayes was very instrumental but there was a John McMaster type, spraying passes all over the shop with a cultured left foot.
