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.

Let's not dwell on those facts for now, just enjoy the result 

 

Very rare for someone to give them shite in the media and actually follow it up. Well done Hartley!

 

Oh this is glorious

Different topic this but anyway....it's a funny picture this lassie but always makes me wonder why folk belief they can act like total benders inside a fitba stadium.

 

Unless you're a total dickhead you wouldn't go up to someone you didn't like in the street and give them either verbal abuse or the V sign.  Not sure why people think it is ok at the fitba.

 

Makes me cringe when I see how some people behave at a game.  Nothing against a funny song or a bit of banter between fans but show a bit of class.  Her Mam must be so proud.

 

 

 

That's the whole point of going to the fitba isn't it.

 

Let off some steam, bawl and shout, go apoplectic at the RIDICULOUS  refereeing decisions.

 

Get to be part of a crowd baying for blood.

 

I mean, you don't go for the superior catering.

You're forgetting the changing dynamic of the average football punter though.

 

Watch what you sing...it might offend somebody

What what you do....it might offend somebody

Remain seated at all times as it may inconvenience somebody

Remember to politely applaud the opposition incase you offend somebody

 

 

 

Former Rangers players and staff paid through an offshore trust have been told they have weeks to approach the taxman over a settlement or face an even bigger bill.

Last year the Supreme Court upheld a Court of Session ruling that £47m paid to Rangers employees between 2001-2010 was liable for tax.

Now beneficiaries of the Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs), many of whom were led to believe these were loans that would never have to be repaid, are being warned to seek "urgent advice".

Karma is a wonderful thing 

HMRC going after all the players of the dead club that had EBT's and have set a deadline of 30/9/18 for these players to agree a repayment plan or face further sanctions.

 

Wee Barry the Fud already declare himself bankrupt and so will be immune from any action (His wife is suddenly rich as fuck though)

 

The rest of the players have approached the SFA compliance officer with a view to having their tax bills rescinded...

Stevie G getting loads of plaudits but if he loses on Sunday his league record would be

Won 1

Drawn 2

Points 5

 

Hardly earth shattering form

Agreed, but then add Europe into that...

Here's hoping that UFA win this afternoon and bring the scum back down to earth.

 

It is a 15.00 kick off our time.

 

UFA 1 Huns 1

 

RED CARD - Morelos 

 

Come on UFA 

Bad news.....latest score Ufa 1 sevco 1 

 

Upside......Morelos has just collected another red card 

 

 

 

 

Edit....beaten to it by Lencarl 

Some guy on hun media just posted "mon rangers do these corrupt bastards"

 

 

 

Without the slightest hint of irony.

huns down to 9

:wave:

Huns down to 9 men - Flannigan gone.

 

:rofl:

down to 9 men, soft second yellow for flanagan 

Ufa seem to be doing their best to not score though. Take their time to get there then utter garbage in front of goal.

 

Huns playing 6 - 2.

 

Must be about 30 shots 3 on target now...

 

4 minutes for 2 goals...

Ufa get it in the net but ref gives huns a foul because the Ejara lad throws himself to the ground.

We will now get the Scottish Football Media saying how Steven Gerrard is best tactical genius that has ever managed a Scottish Team ever.

A huge step forward by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in Europe. Bombed out by the fourth best team in Luxembourg last season and now going to Croatia, Slovenia and Russia and getting the job done. A powerful new spirit there. Changed days.

 

Here we fucking go...... 

 

Every cloud.....Sevco fans were left fuming after The Rangers TV cut out during their crunch Europa League match against FC Ufa. A number of fans were unable to watch their heroes after the broadcasters crashed early in the match. Many were unable to log in to their account while those who could were met with an error message.

And they took to Twitter to vent their frustrations as they missed out on most of the first half.   

what's most fucking galling is the fact that we bust a gut to finish above the cunts over the course of a season and then watch as they get beatable teams and we get drawn against fucking Burnley.

Burnley were beatable. We just weren't fucking good enough.

If this was in isolation, I'd agree, but the teams we've faced (and gone out to) were all beatable on paper, but we made life difficult for ourselves. They even beat Maribor.  That's what I find disgusting.  Burnley I agree with you on but realistically there weren't many over the five years we've tried, we should have feared.

Former Rangers striker Steven Thompson on Sportsound

It would have been a brilliant achievement to get through with 11 men on the pitch. But to do it under the circumstances and adversity they did is remarkable. It speaks volumes for not only the players he has recruited, but for Gerrard and his management team, too.

It was desire and it was a winning mentality. If people had been speculating that Gerrard had arrived at the club and improved the team, there is no doubt now.

 

And another quote about the mighty gers

^^^^ this

Although the Tribute Act did arguably get an easy draw they did also however invest in their squad to get players in to help them get through while we sold our only striker who knew where the goal was and did not replace him before we were already out.

You could argue this for the last x years. We failed to invest sufficiently and give the team a chance. The huns spent early enough to advance in Europe, we did not.
