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.

BBC in pathetic grovelling apology to the scum for reporting the truth meaning we'll now have even greater saturation of the scum on radio Scotland. What a complete lack of integrity. What's the point? It'd be unfair to ask our resident BBC'r for comment, it's very easy to criticise when yer livelihood doesn't depend on it. Must have been made an infinitely shiter place to work overnight. Kenny McIntyre will be happy though.

Bassey sells for £19.8million upfront PLUS SUBSTANTIAL add ons

Aye, fucking right he does 

Pushing the boundaries of fiction even further than they did with the alleged £16m up front for Paterson and the hordes are thick enough to swallow swallow it 

Deluded cunts the lot of them 😂

Doesna matter if it's 9M or 10M, game's a bogey for anyone outside of the torture twins.

Fuck off Scottish football, RIP

The fee's the huns claim they sell their players for, is a strange situation. This one is the oddest of the lot. Paterson and Aribo both buying clubs released "undisclosed" for the fee's. You can sort of understand a club like the huns, with a loose grip on financial reality, might claim higher fee's in order that it makes their other players appear more valuable. But, Ajax released the £19.3 million for Bassey...

Bassey has concentration issues. He might be strong and quick, but he makes a couple of mistakes per game, one of which invariably leads to an opposition goal scoring opportunity. I understand his speed and physicality mean he recovers from a lot of his mistakes but, and I might be wrong, I don't think you can coach concentration. Has to be a signing based on stats and the thought that as an English "homegrown" player he will be worth a lot to the EPL sides in a year or two. 

Kind of felt we might catch up with the OF a bit with the money we took in for Cosgrove, McKenna, Ramsey and Ferguson but they have made a helluva lot from their own inflated sales of Patterson and Bassey and their UEFA cup money.  Hopefully the European runs for both are short and sweet this season.

Can't believe no one has had a 😂 at their result last night.

What an inept, powderpuff performance and lucky to get out of there only two behind.

Oh and what about that penalty award 😉

If VAR worked like that in Scotland? Riots on the streets of glesca!

As the cunts got to final only winning one away game I am holding off celebrating until next week. 
 

As much as I laughed at the penalty that is everything that is wrong with VAR. Never a penalty.

Throw the fucking book at them

It's not like they don't have form.

 

I fucking hate that team. Bunch of deluded fuckknuckle's

 

 

 

 

 

This guy said this without a single note of irony.

Will he also mention this if his team manage a result against us on Saturday?

I doubt that very much.

 

Given the fawning towards the ugly sisters media that exists in Scotland, it wouldn't be in their interests to mention the glaring disparity between them and any other team in the Scottish leagues.

 

The "we should support Scottish sides in Europe" line that is foisted on us is sickening.

The  financial clout of Rantic and Celgers means that only the 2 of them will stand a chance of qualifying for the lucrative stages of European competition and therefore will gain even more financially putting further financial daylight between them and the rest of us.

Meanwhile a sycophantic press, expect us to stand and applaud as the new old firm get richer claiming it's our duty to support 2 Scottish teams who's supporters are obsessed with Ireland and who espouse bigotry that is perpetually brushed under the carpet by anyone seen as being authority.

 

They are a disease on both Scottish football and Scottish society.

We are over 40 years after a massive "rammy" at a Scottish Cup final at Hampden and generations later, football fans in Scotland can't be trusted to enjoy a beer at the match because of these two sets of "supporters"

That's just not right considering the massive changes at football stadia, stewarding, policing, family areas and the like.

All clubs including Aberdeen have problem sections within their support, but nothing compared to the 2 who dominate Scottish football.

 

Back to Van Bronkhun.

Making such a crass, blinkered statement shows he and the club he represents are part of the bigger problem.

 

I despise the Champions League for a few reasons, but mainly because it's a league packed with teams who are not Champions.

It's also an exclusive old boys club with the same faces year after year at the dining table of a European cash cow.

The format is boring, the prices for match day tickets are extortionate ( Ever bought a ticket for the Bernabau or Barcelona you'll know what I mean).

 

So yeah, fuck right off Van Bronkhun and I hope you ship another 4 on Saturday you out of touch asshole

Game against Napoli pushed back 24hours and away fans banned. 
 

Cunts fairly milking death of Liz Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to their advantage.

Who's compensating the Napoli fans who will likely lose money after making all their travel arrangements etc?  Fucking hun cunts just don't want any cafflicks in the stadium on a royal wank fest night.

I could be wrong but I read somewhere it was partly a policing issue (a lack of) due to the queen being transported south. I could be wrong though.

You're correct. It's the police - who are definitely not all Huns - who decided that the game should be moved. They all need to be in Edinburgh because of a delivery. 

I'm reading that EUFA have banned British teams from playing the UK national anthem before matches.

 

Other things I picked up on Nigel Feurage has decided he wants UK teams to pull out of European competition because of this ( no surprise there)

And of course the Huns are going to defy this by either just playing the anthem and taking the hit, or as one source put it " the players might just sing it a capella and let the 50,000 supporters join in"

 

I now want to watch this, just for the spectacle of a team of mainly foreign players sing the UK national anthem looking like a dysfunctional Blazing Squad boy band.

 

Now I have to locate a bar that will show this.

Forza Napoli.

Bloody couriers, nothing worse than losing an entire day just hanging about waiting on a package to arrive.

Glorious result tonight

did they sing the anthem?

I couldn't get anywhere near here close to interested to showing the game.

Translations of "diddy league" I managed.

At that point, I didn't tell them I was a Dons fan. 

My Spanish son in law did say that his Scottish team Aberdeen easily beat Real in 83.

This was greeted by rapturous applause among the group (mainly Barca)

When the group found out I was against The Rangers, they were good.

 

I've hopefully converted a few more Spanish tonight to looking out for our team.

 

No doubt the Huns displayed or sang the anthem.

 

Ironic that the guy who was sent off was named Sands?

They did so should be another UEFA fine in coming. Also fans threw stuff at Napoli players warming down after game.

Pretty sure they were already on the way to partial ground closures for UEFA matches due to previous behaviour so hopefully last night will get them that reward.

The punishment should be playing in front of their fans. Didn’t they play well behind closed doors?

Apparently escape sanction even with there fans throwing stuff at Napoli players. Victims however have been sanctioned for their banners in Poland.

The good thing about the minute's applause is that you can visibly and respectfully reject it by just not joining in. It's a fairly easy compromise. This entire charade is taking place in order to be seen. It's not a mark of respect or an opportunity to grieve, it's purely to be seen to be doing something. In that regard, I find it utterly disrespectful. I'd love to see the sadness-cams on sportscene panning across a whole stand of Dons and Hibs fans just not joining in with an enforced measure. I hope every Dons fan going that doesn't feel the grief makes sure that they are in the ground and politely not taking part. I'd love it even more if the tannoy announcer said something along the lines of: "we're about to hold a minute's applause for the death of the Queen. If you don't wish to join in, there is certainly no obligation, but we do ask you to please be respectful of those that wish to.". It'd just be nice to think that people aren't just joining in because they feel obliged to, that it's a completely acceptable thing to just stand in silence (or chatting, whatever suits). The objective of the entire thing is to show a single view of Britishness. A "national mourning". The media in this country are shaping a narrative rather than reporting on it and they want football fans to be a part of their show. Any viewer of British media in the last week would assume a nation in hysterics, without exception and that really isn't the case. The people standing in 24 hour queues to view a corpse-box aren't normal and they aren't representative of Britain as whole, less so Scotland. I think it's important that football shows that whilst being respectful of those that feel differently - which in Scotland is the minority. In my opinion, booing the dead monarch would be crass, however booing that seamless switch to new king via gstk would be a completely different proposition. I don't believe Dons or Hibs fans will have that shite forced upon them today though.

Not a royalist in any shape nor form but this is clearly a big deal to a lot of people. My initial thought was that, like you Rico, it was more of an english thing but the queues at the cathedral in Edinburgh last week suggests otherwise. That aside and whatever you think of the monarchy, it saddens me that some people would feel the need to make an arse of themselves and shout abuse during the minutes silence or the playing of god save the queen/king. Says a lot about people if they cannot stand quietly for two minutes of their life without acting like a dick. I get the impression many non fitba followers think fitba fans are arseholes and these kind of things don’t do much to help.
