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.

I guarantee that father will be getting abusive calls from them for the next couple of weeks.

I was in Stoney pre-match & whilst I didn’t witness this barbaric incident there were plenty of knuckle-dragging buckie-swigging Neanderthals around. Utter filth.

Why are they reputed to be getting Millions for players that are not good enough to play for them but good enough to play down South. This is pure bullshit from their PR main man Traynor.

 

They have secured the cash to pay for the latest bunch of players from investors being told that in a few years their value will increase by Millions giving the money men back a huge profit.. More bullshit.

 

As I said before this is there last throw of the dice, hoping to secure the title and Champions League football next season.

 

Let's hope for the good of football in general that this does not happen. 

 

 

Am I right that these cunts just spunked a litttle over 2 million on a left back based on him playing well against them? I’m sure we could send them a video of Stevie May playing well for St Johnstone against the Huns at some point.....hopefully.

They did indeed. By my reckoning those c@nts now have 3 more left backs than we do strikers (not counting Anderson as one of our first team squad just yet)......This new Croatian boy, Flanagan, Declan John, Wallace and Hodson.

 

Tick fuckin tock

Sadly it looks like they have a good chance at europa league football.  When you take stadium revenue into account that will be the better part of ten mill into their coffers.

It has been an extraordinarily easy draw they have been handed. I think the Maribor tie could go either way, i'd hazard a guess they will both win their home ties sadly expect sevco to win theirs by a bigger margin than Maribor do.

Next round its either Progres or Ufa. Ufa it is then....know sfa about them other than they will be far too good for Luxembourg's 4th best side. And hopefully sevco too....

Daily Record

Former Crystal Palace chairman claims Rangers boss Steven Gerrard will be allowed to splash the cash thanks to a mysterious benefactor. The talkSPORT pundit revealed the Ibrox side have access to a "significant fighting fund" in the quest to stop their rivals from sealing 10-in-a-row.

 

No shit Sherlock 

Morelos red card rescinded

 

Scottish football is a fucking joke

Okay, now it is okay to kick out on an opposition player, just make sure no contact is made though. Special rules now apply to Sevco. The Scottish Premiership is a farce and a laughing stock.

 

Absolute disgrace from the SFA/SPFL 

 

Ps... It will be interesting to see if the Scottish media and pundits have an opinion on this crap decision.

 

that's just mental and will just add fuel to the "refs are against us" fire that the huns have adopted.

 

So, in essence, from our last two league games against both cheeks, it's OK to kick out at a player off the ball, it's Ok to launch the ball at an opponents head, but it's really really wrong to applaud in front of weedgie supporters because that will get you a three match ban. Scottish football can be really confusing.

I said it was a soft red card at the time.

 

A player gets barged off the ball, twice, in deliberate provocation. He reacts by kicking out, not with his studs, just a natural reaction, a wee kick that McKenna hardly noticed and gets sent off.

 

That was the ref applying the rules to the letter of the law but it wasn't the right decision, a yellow would have been more fair. Imagine if it was the other way round! It wouldn't have even been a yellow in previous years. As Jerry Sadowitz says, Britain's gone gay. Poor wee lambs needing protection from a wee show of petulance.

 

It was clever by McKenna given Morelos's known temperament. The decision cost Rangers three points as they were going to HORSE us on Sunday and should have been one up before the red card following Ball's major fuck up.

I suppose the one good thing is that at least the boy is absolutely fucking terrible.

 

There was always a chance they might have had to play somebody that could score.

Interesting use of language. I agree with the "soft" comment, but Ball's error wasn't a major fuck up, it was a very ordinary mistake in losing his man after a deflection; one that Considine, McKenna and Devlin could all have made in the circumstances. The was no evidence that Morelos would be the difference between us drawing and getting horsed. You downplay one incident, yet deploy hyperbole in describing another. That's inconsistent at best.

You didn't read carefully. The penalty was his second fuck up. Pulling his shirt, even for the briefest of moments was ASKING for trouble. I said "BEFORE the red card". When he tried to step out for offside, he failed to see that another defender was playing his own man on. When the ball came over him, he left a simple one-on-one and his blushes were saved by a combination of poor finishing and Joe Lewis's right leg. We were lucky not to be one down by then and we were lucky to get a draw, given one shot on target all day, in the 93rd minute. I thought McInnes was spiking shite about doing ok in the first 10 minutes. We were fucking terrible before they had 10 men and also after.

My apologies, I thought it was McKenna that played him on when I saw it, but he was on Morelos. Aye, that was fucking awful, I stand corrected. I thought we were shite, but I didn't see anything from them that made me think they would horse us. Mainly down to them not being that great up front.

The Rangers v NK Maribor

 

Hope that NK Maribor can do one over Sevco in this tie.

 

They need knocked out before the group stages and stop that revenue coming in.

what a nice cosy draw they have .. cunts

I don't grudge them it as much as I despise them. We've had chances in recent years but haven't taken them, including against Maribor (the only time I recall Rooney ever missing a penalty.)

Maribor and Apollon were our two chances to get to the group stages and we fucked it (or at least the ref did vs Maribor).

 

I don't think folk realise just how much of a disaster it will be for the dons and the rest of Scottish fitba if the hun qualify for the group stages (which they will). That's a massive pot that will open a gap. We're heading directly towards the 2000-14 years again of helicopter Sundays and sideshows.

Agreed. It is looking very worrying at the moment. They have spunked the cash to build a squad capable to reach the Group Stages and compete for the Scottish Premiership Title. That is a words I thought I would never say.

 

Still live in hope that it all goes wrong for them in the coming months for the good of Scottish football

They might well now reach the group stages of the Europa League thanks to a bizarrely easy draw but won't get anywhere near Celtic in our league.

 

What is worrying is that though they've spunked a fair bit of cash on players who are only marginally better than last season's duds, they are actually recouping it in large chunks on players they paid pennies for....£2million for Windass and £800k for Declan John. We can only hope they don't get any more out the door and that their enormous squad takes it's inevitable financial toll.

 

they have spent circa £8m and recouped £3m .. losses of £6m last year pretty obvious they are getting funds from elsewhere ?

Not really. They had loans to last until season end. They make a huge chunk of money off season tickets (£10-15M). Historically they've spent that up front and then gone hunting for expensive loans come January. This season they've speculated enough to get them Europa League (you would assume) and so they'll be - for the first time - on a very good footing for the remainder of the season and into next. Over the next few years they'll have traded themselves into a position by which they can qualify for the Europa league every year without too much difficulty (very difficult draw aside).

agree the cash will run dry but their expenses will be significantly higher this year plus paying legal fees, they need to pay close brothers off februaty a europa run may get 3-4 m , so again will need financing , or sell morelos for £11m
