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.

Hun Media in meltdown if you fancy some schadenfreude.  They talk about DM like he would actually be interested which is hilarious in itself.

 

The biggest prick on there (and boy do they have some competition for the spot) King Kirk has decreed McInnes is a dead cert for the job. Everything he predicts goes tits up sharpish so we can rest safely knowing McInnes is going nowhere.

 

Well unless Everton bin Koeman as is looking likely. I think they might well be interested...

Apparently the compliance officer has "offered" Alves a 2 match ban

The reply from ipox is hilarious!

"rather than convening, with great solemnity, distinguished panels to adjudicate on matters the players themselves quickly shrug off as handbags"

 

I actually agree with that part to an extent. Alves kicked out in frustration, and had the ref booked him it would have been the end of the matter. By the letter of the law it's a red card and suspension, but only cause cunts like Alves (because he's foreign, mainly) have spent their entire careers rolling around like they've been shot after incidents like these. It was fuck all of nothing and the sort of thing that 20 years ago we'd be brushing off and getting on with it. It's a shame the way the game has changed in this regard, but it has so the huns haven't a leg to stand on.

 

Of course, it's another propaganda statement printed by the BBC despite the fact they are not given access to raise questions - of which there are many - in regard to the statement. It's the equivalent of the BBC not allowing someone right of reply (in reverse), and they just shouldn't print such bollocks.

All hell will break loose.

 

Haven't they been punished enough?

Just spent about 10-15 minutes trying to find fucking footage of the incident so that I can decide the outcome now instead of fucking around. Couldn't find any. So unless one of you cunts can post a link I'll have to leave it to the compliance officer who will buckle and reduce/remove the ban.

Haha they really do love a statement.

Two things I agree with them on

 

1) Motherwell are a team of thugs

2) rangers are not welcome in Scottish football. Glad they're beginning to understand.

FIFY

So many words to state the obvious.

I've been involved in football for over 40 years. I've played, watched, coached, and I've worked for the FA, as an assistant referee, referee, referees tutor, mentor, and assessor. Never have I seen such a poor display from a set of match officials, as I witnessed on Sunday in the Betfred League Cup semi-final. Let's not deflect from another poor performance from Rangers, in a match which Motherwell took their chances, but let's also not ignore the performance of the match officials.

 

In a week where it was widely reported that Motherwell players were looking to be very physical on Rangers players; wouldn't you think that match officials would be at the top of their game? Sadly no. Rangers players were assaulted, and the match officials did nothing. By letting the first elbow on Morelos go unpunished; the referee sent out the message that physical assault on Rangers players was acceptable.

 

Things didn't improve, and it ended up with one Rangers player suffering a broken nose, after an assault which would earn you a night in a cell if you committed it on the street. Later in the match, both Bruno Alves and Louis Moult should both have been dismissed for stupidly kicking out at each other, and yet the SFA compliance officer has deemed that only Alves should merit retrospective punishment.

 

Are the SFA now so corrupt that they no longer hide their persecution of Rangers? Are the SFA now so corrupt that assaults on Rangers players are now deemed acceptable?

 

After the Scottish Cup Final where Hibs supporters invaded the pitch after the final whistle and assaulted Rangers players and officials, it was whitewashed by the Scottish media, and turned into some kind of 'six of one/half a dozen of the other scenario', where Rangers supporters were apportioned half of the blame and Hibs supporters were excused their disgusting behaviour, and given the excuse that it was simply 'over-exuberance'. Its clear that there is an agenda against Rangers in Scottish football.

 

But it's not just Rangers who are suffering. The Scottish national team is also suffering, because for as long as assaults on players are acceptable in the Scottish game; the Scottish game will suffer. Some media correspondents like to harken back to the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, and the days where players could kick out at players, and they still think that it's acceptable. It's not! It hasn't been for a long time, and whether they like it or not: it has no place in modern football.

 

Football has moved on, almost everywhere except in Scotland.

 

When more technically gifted players are assaulted and nothing is done about those thugs who carry out those assaults, then what kind of message does that send out? You may wonder why the Scottish national team hasn't qualified for a major tournament for decades, but I don't.

Scottish football is nothing more than a backwater, occupied by dinosaurs who are still trapped in the past.

 

Now that the SFA has shown just how corrupt it is, by focusing on Alves while ignoring Bowman and Mould, and allowing assaults on Rangers players, then it is clear that Rangers are playing in the wrong country.

 

Rangers are not welcome in Scottish football. Despite having been illegally punished, and having earned the right to play in the top league in this country again: it is clear that the hatred which consumes supporters and officials of some clubs in Scotland, will not see them rest until our club is destroyed.

 

It is clear to me that Rangers Football Club is trapped in a country which does not want it. Scottish football needs the money generated by our supporters, but it doesn't want our club. For that reason; we should be boycotting every away match, while looking for avenues to escape from this country which hates us so much.

 

I'm not even bothered where we find a league which would take us, because I've been to Annan Athletic, Alloa, and every lower league club in Scotland, and I've stood shoulder to shoulder with loyal supporters who have seen us start at the bottom and work our way back to the top.

 

Regardless of where we would have to start off: we would rise to the top, and we would break more records along the way, because we are the most loyal supporters in the world.

 

We are trapped here in Scotland, and we will be held back for as long as it takes us to find a way out.

No-one like them but they really, REALLY care 

It almost guarantees a sending off for a Dons player tonight though.

 

My money would be on Shinnie in the 4th minute.

BBC tub thumping for the filth, yet again.  Scottish football could die without a strong sevco.  Sorry guys Easter Road sold out last night, Pittodrie sold out tonight.  Scottish football's fine.

Aye, I jist saw that pish on the ofBC s(h)ite

Cunt of a man and only successful at oldco because of the mahoosive cash advantage they had. He couldn't wait to f@ck off to his beloved Englandshire when Liverpool came calling and was an utter failure there and everywhere else his ass landed thereafter.

 

And the BBC can get f@cked ana

God getting right stuck in to Sounness's comments just now on Sportsound, highly pleasing.

Jack off?

Another "statement" looming?

Jack off?

After a stramash after being awarded a penalty. Which the Killie keeper promptly saves. And then Killie go straight up the park and equalise

 

Comedy fuckin gold from the sevco and Hunjack must be lookin at a mahoosive suspension. 4 red cards in 3 months (not sure how the one in the Morton closed doors friendly affects things)

 

 

Hope this works as it really is comedy gold. Start watching at 87.30 with a large malt in your hand...

Sad times.

There's no danger the pen would've been missed if Jack hadn't been trying to start trouble.  :laughing: Absolutely brilliant ending to that match which certainly eased the pain of our own game.

Kenny Miller currently bookies favourite at 3/1

 

Nice cheap option and a Rangers man.

Pedro gone - Unreliable source.

mutually consented

Ah, sacked then.

 

I just watched two minutes of madness from Ibrox last night.

 

If I was in the mood to laugh about football I'd be in hysterics.

Fired!

Time for Penis to make a glorious return to management with a sniny new club and take over Scotland because he said we "need a strong Rangers"

Sure he'll do fine without millions, or EBTs or guffies banned from Europe?
