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.

At the end of last season he was a saviour

 

A couple of defeats in he'll be a catholic

 

When they go bust he'll be a traitor

 

 

In actual fact all he is is a thick Liverpudlian wanker.

Shoot me down but he could win the league given a bit of luck.  They've got a decent set of players due to the money invested, rightly or wrongly and with a competent manager should not be far off Celtic.

 

We all know that Sevco have far superior resources than anyone bar Celtic and they only play them four times a year.  They were only 12 points behind Celtic last season with shite management.  They should be beating everyone else.

 

None of us really know how good Gerrard is so time with tell.  Hope he is pish and fired by Christmas. 

 

 

It's a tough one. By all accounts it appears he has a good squad. Likeable guy and a background of winning. All this suggest he'll do well.

 

HOWEVER, Souness was a hard nosed and nasty leader. Old school and mean. Fearless. Not sure how tough Gerrard is and don't know if he really knows the scrutiny he'll be under from the press and own fans. My heart says it all goes to shit and he's canned by Christmas, my head says they'll compete for a title and we'll finish third.

By all accounts it appears he has a good squad.

 

No. By all accounts he has a huge squad. No evidence as yet of it being good or indeed any better than last season's failures. Nor any evidence that he will be a competent coach/manager.

Huge squad yes, but by all accounts it appears he has a good squad with some good players. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I watched a bit of their game last week in Macedonia. Sevco were honking. Their one player who looked decent was McGregor who had 2 fantastic saves to keep Siroki out.

 

As I said....no evidence of them being any good as yet.....

The question of them being 'good' or not is irrelevant if the other SPL teams (especially the Dons) continue their inferiority complexes and set up their teams to simply defend and hope for a break against them.

 

SEVCO have had relatively poor teams since they were set up and yet just because they carry the name 'rangers' the other teams & managers seem to panic.

Still reckon that Gerrard's tenancy will last exactly as long as they remain in both cups - if he fails to win either I don't see him making it to summer.

 

Even if he runs Tic close in the league, but doesn't bring back silverware, the fans will just use that as justification that they should've actually won the league with a "better" manager and still sack him.

I can see that happening if you chuck in a couple of horsings from the tims and perhaps a few losses to either ourselves or hibs.  So much is going to come down to Gerrards ability to organise a defence.  Sportsound were saying that the boy goldson from Brighton was looking pretty competent unfortunately so with Mcgreggor back (though he's only a marginal improvement on Foderingham if any) they could prove hard to score against yet.

Not league titles he doesn't.

 

He'll be given a bit more time because he's a name, but he'll eventually suffer the same fate as Warburton, Pedro and Murty. Patience will become thin if they're still routinely pumped by Celtic.

 

But for us, the big thing is McInnes showing what he did on Thursday - that he is capable of a good tactical, attacking performance when we're underdogs, that we can attack the favourites from the off.  He can not be scared of the name - either of the team or the guy in the opposition dugout.

Trouble after sevco beat Wigan 3-0 earlier today. Running battles with bottles getting lobbed in Hope Street as Wigan fans tried to get back to Central Station.

 

Theres video of it all on you tube. Some hun roaster went on twitter to beg sevconians not to share the footage if they receive it. However the Dhims are sharing it in a similar manner to Jesus and his loaves and fishes trick.....

 

Fucking neanderthals

If we play rangers and Celtics with the same mentality as Burnley then I think we’re in a good place. However, Burnley is Burnley and nothing really to fear. Does DM fear the Huns??  Hope not but they’ve intimidated us far too much. Time will tell but how we approach and perform against the Huns will play a factor in Gerard’s tenure.

Isn't there an allegiance between the Jags and Wigan?  From memory a few years back Section F coming to Firhill and having it on Arlington Street.

Not one word on any Sevco fans being involved in the article

He'll probably do OK while things are going well. Couple of defeats and some poor performances and it will be interesting to see how he copes.

Next we will hear Chelsea fans were the alleged culprits and no huns were involved in the incident. A few hun fans are saying on Twitter they got what they deserved for picking a fight with The Rangers.

 

The SPFL/SFA need to come down very hard on Sevco if their fans did the stabbing.

 

 

All Aberdeen fans attending the match on Sunday keep safe.

From Twitter

Willie Miller on BBC Sportsound:  “Rangers are disrespectful particularly to Aberdeen. They’ve always been disrespectful. They need to take a minute and realise where the clubs been, which is through administration.”

 

The only part of Willies statement that is wrong is Rangers The Rangers....sorted..

And that they have been through administration....that was oldco, who got liquidated. It's a bad day when Willie is buying into the continuity myth.

Steven Gerrard to escape SFA rap over Aberdeen post-match swipe.

 

What part of this SFA Rule does NOT apply to Gerrard

SFA rule 72, which states club officials couldn’t not ‘criticise the Decision(s) and/or performance(s) of any or all match official(s) in such a way as to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match officials or make remarks about such match official(s) which impinge on his character.’

I honestly thought this was a pisstake when I saw it, but todays evening express online is running the following tale of horror from the weekend

 

 

Rangers’ fans kicked north-east boy’s sand castle

A north-east dad has hit out after “Rangers fans” kicked over his three-year-old son’s sandcastle.

 

David Officer, 37, from Stonehaven, said his in-laws had had an unpleasant run-in with supporters of the Glasgow team, who had stopped off in the seaside town.

 

He said: “One of the Rangers supporter buses stopped in Stonehaven on Sunday and their fans went down to the beach where my eldest son and his grandparents were.

 

“They shouted at my father-in-law and then kicked my son’s sandcastle over before they left.

 

“I’m more annoyed for my father-in-law and mother-in-law who had to deal with it.

 

“The beach is a great place for kids to go and spend time.

 

“My son wasn’t affected by it, but I just don’t get it. I don’t see the point in all of that. It’s just not something you do.

 

“I know all clubs have their fair share of idiots – but it does seem like you tend to hear more of this behaviour from Rangers fans.

 

“And my father-in-law is a Rangers fan, so I’m not just picking on them.

 

“I wish something had been done – maybe more policing among themselves – like not letting them back on the bus until they apologised or help rebuild the sandcastle.”

 

Police Scotland’s local area commander Chief Inspector Martin Mackay said officers had made attempts to track down the supporters responsible for the incident.

 

“Officers in Stonehaven were made aware of a minor incident yesterday morning involving a handful of men who we believe to be football fans that had stopped off in the town for a short time on their way to the game.

 

“A unit was despatched and searches made, however they had already left the area.

 

“Incidents like this may be low-level in nature and very rare, however they are completely unacceptable and unwanted in any of our communities.”

 

Councillor Sarah Dickinson, who represents the Stonehaven and Lower Deeside ward, admitted she was shocked when she heard of the incident.

 

She said: “It’s just plain bad behaviour. I’m shocked anybody would behave in that way, especially a child. I hope it’s an isolated incident.”
