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.

Anyone else read that the huns were looking to buy into bury town as a route into English football?

 

Kudos to vlad and the Arabs. Milne, do the right thing! Whilst people are berating him for making terrible decisions, he was correct on one thing. We never should have signed up for the sultana deal! Im hoping he sees sense on this matter too

I'll get my kagool....

Jim Spence says he will be able to announce a 3rd confirmed No club at 8.20am on BBC radio Scotland.

If it's Spencie, I'd hazard it has to be us, ICT or St Johnstone cos he never goes south of the Tay does he?

Sincerely hope it is us 

Reckon it could merely be Hibs confirming a "no vote" to back up Petrie's comments of a few weeks ago though.

The latest club are Aberdeen FC

@bbcjimspence: Aberdeen will vote NO to Newco in the SPL. They Join Hearts and Dundee Utd who said yesterday they would vote no.

Ya fucking dancer

 

Huns are rubber ducked....no need to wait until 4th July

Posted above as Spency was speaking on Radio Scotland.

Admittedly it was a struggle to type given the unbounded joy I was feeling

What a relief!

I just hope all this good news is not to do with the supposed deal to parachute newco into division 1.  If they end up in division 1 then I'm still boycotting SPL games.

I was too busy having a happy cry wank to notice mate!

 

Can't imagine Milne would stick his neck out if there weren't a safe 5 no votes.

I just can't see how there's any provision for that. No new team can be allowed anywhere other than div 3 surely. And even then they should have to bid for the place against any other contendors. Anything else is an unforgivable carve up.

This.

 

Will not start celebrating until it is confirmed they are in division 3.

Wasn't that story based on them getting a Yes vote and then being punished with immediate relegation.

That was my understanding as well

I honestly can't see them being ready to be in Division 3.

 

I believe the Greater Glasgow Amateur Sunday League are still accepting teams. They'll need to be quick though, got to be registered by the 1st of July...

Ah, thank fook for that.

Reports that Milne is now denying we have made any decision yet on newco vote.

Please someone have a word with the bellend

 

All I am reading online now is Stewart Milne saying they have not decided yet

Duff & Phelps ordered by Lord Hodge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh to prove there is no conflict of interest over role.

Good. About time
