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.

"What happened to the other 193,000 loyal bluenoses?". 

 

"I'm not so sure those comments about dropping to SFL 3 were a particularly good idea, Ally."

Caption comp anyone?

 

 

Are you sure green and white were the right colours for the Newco strips?

Caption comp anyone?

 

 

Three nil down and McCoist still finds the time to remove one of Paul Murray's pubes.

 

"Cunts"

Fair play to the minks for this effort:

 

 

I also heard their PA announcer played "When will we see you again" and "Don't look back in anger"  Although I don't think our PA announcer would have got away with that

That is a fantastic display!

Anyone have any ideas to get us out of this mess?

 

 

Mmmmm I can still smell Sue Barker on my fingers.

Thats a cracking display, as you say Kow fair play to them.  The wee grave stones in the foreground are a particularly nice touch

2 Questions:

1) We need this in our game, in our country why?

2) Wtf are the police doing? I think we need to import some of those Southern European riot cops for these games

 

actually this was the video I meant to post

Saved for posterity. I'm sure it will get hooked at some point.

Pure unadulterated scum. The sooner they fuk off from Scottish football the better!!

 

Those two videos have done more in 15 minutes to drive me away from "Scottish football" than AFC Football Club's ineptitude over the last 15 seasons has done.

You managed to watch that in its entirety?

 

I used to see the argument that its the greatest feeling as a football supporter to beat the hun. I am now firmly of the view that I want this club to die. I want it disgraced. I want to see titles stripped. I want those hun "fans" from Elgin, Stirling, Skye, inverness, Hawick or whichever rock they choose to live under to one day wake up when they are eventually liquidated to ask themselves "what have I done to deserve this"?.

 

We will respond- you are rangers, we hate you and everything you stand for there is no olace for you in a civilised society in 2012.

It was painful but yes. All 15 minutes.

RANGERS manager Ally McCoist is “very hopeful” administrators will name a preferred bidder for the club this week.

 

• Rangers manager does not believe either bid would involve liquidation

 

• Brian Kennedy/the Blue Knights and Bill Miller have lodged bids

 

• Administrators still involved in discussions with bidders

 

Duff and Phelps have been involved in discussions with Brian Kennedy and the Blue Knights, as well as rival bidder, American tycoon Bill Miller.

 

McCoist has been told that both bids are likely to involve a ‘newco’ situation but does not believe such a scenario would mean liquidation.

 

He said: “I would be very hopeful that we would have positive news in terms of a preferred bidder this week.

 

“We can’t really afford to go any longer at all.

 

“I would be really, really hopeful from what I’m hearing, what I’ve been told, that there would be a preferred bidder named this week.”

 

McCoist added: “I spoke to the administrators last night and they were still involved in ongoing discussions with two potential purchasers.

 

“I think there is no liquidation at all with any of the two parties involved.

 

“That’s my reading into the situation, I just hope I’m correct in saying that.

 

“Not being totally business-minded, I think the two offers - certainly one and very probably the other - do consist of newcos but I have been told that does not involve liquidation.”

 

 

Surely a newco = liquidation of old company?

Excellent. We're going to have a middle ground option.

 

Duff & Phelps: "No CVAs, no liquidation....what we're going to have is *mumble mumble inaudible mumble* Ok? Everyone agreed?"

 

What we're going to have is rankers fc still in the spl, no transfer embarge, no points deducted and no sanctions in 2012/13 or ever.

 

And who'll bet me £10 against that outcome, however it may be "dressed up" for the public?

 

If this is the case then i bid fairwell to Scottish football.

 

Fuck you SFA, you will not get one penny more out of me.

Och I'm not paying  slightest bit of attention to that hun prick.  I think the powers that be will push as hard as they can to keep the huns in the league but that is out with their control and they know it.  Time will tell if the fans are going to have to make good on their threats to walk away

To be fair to McCoist, he's a fitba' cunt, nae a business cunt.
