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.

 

Here is the death blow to scottish football...

The four key points on the agenda were:

?Finding a mechanism that will allow Rangers to parachute straight into the First Division next season.

?A guarantee that play-offs are introduced immediately at the top of the First Division for a place in the SPL.

?The distribution of short-term payments to SFL clubs from the SPL to allow Rangers’ First Division games to be shown live on Sky.

?A timeline to form one body, the Scottish Professional Football League.

 

 

The SFA&SPL&SFL clearly seeking money from SKY to save rangers from 3rd division

 

means the vote on 4th july is meaning less if this retard story is true, that is why secret meeting on thursday will take place and probably why milne has sat on fence

 

Hopefully just wishful thinking from a desperate daily rangers hack. If true however finish for me.

Yup. Scottish football will have no interest to me whatsoever if these proposals come about.

"Regan’s bid to deliver a broad consensus over the way forward also involved discussions over the appellate tribunal’s transfer embargo on Rangers."

Is this not a suitable juncture for UEFA/FIFA involvement?

For those who were quite reasonably sleeping when the Rhys McCabe story broke http://bit.ly/Mdmk44

 

Had it confirmed Sone Aluko is the other player to object to transferring to Rangers newco. Update here soon http://bbc.in/Mdmk44

 

And sally's reaction:

 

RANGERS manager Ally McCoist has this afternoon released the following statement.

 

He said: "It has been reported that a couple of players have indicated they want to challenge the transfer of their contracts. This is news to me and no player has spoken to me about it.

 

"At all times during my first year as manager, I strived to show players respect and in return would have hoped they would have shown me, and more importantly the club, respect by notifying us of their intentions before making it known elsewhere.

 

"Players have their own decisions to make and I understand that, but the question they have to ask themselves is do they want to play for Rangers or not?

"The formation of a new company is not the issue. The players would be playing for the same club - Rangers - in front of the same fans.   

 

"If players want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the Rangers supporters.

 

"I don't want Rangers fans to be reading over the next few days how devastated players are about having to go. The fans deserve better than that. They are not daft.

 

"I can understand if a player has the chance to go somewhere else and there is uncertainty about which division we will be playing in.

 

"If that is the case that is understandable but they should not expect sympathy from Rangers supporters if they use the transfer of contracts as an excuse.

 

"I already know there are agents touting my players all over the United Kingdom, so let's be brutally honest.

 

"We are in a difficult situation and the contracts issue has given some players and agents the belief they can use it to leave the club.

 

"After all that the club and the fans have gone through, the supporters, above all, deserve the truth and should not have to listen to stories trying to sugar-coat the possible departure of players from the club.

 

"The players were magnificent last season and made great sacrifices and that will never be forgotten.

 

"Now, we have to look forward and everyone should be upfront and honest about their intentions."

 

Rangers CEO Charles Green added: "We are meeting the PFA Scotland and their legal advisers on Monday with a view to allaying players' concerns about the transfer of contracts so the timing of these announcements by players is hard to understand.

 

"The transfer of contracts has already happened and the club's clear legal advice is that players' purported objection is ineffective.

 

"Rangers would like to make it abundantly clear to players, agents and the chairmen and managers of other football clubs that we will take whatever steps necessary to challenge what we regard as a breach of contract to protect the interests of our club."

 

SSN suggesting 8 further players will say no in next 24 hours.

Dry your eyes sally you fud. Understand the situation you're in, huns fc exist no more.

So far they've blamed the mess they're in on Scottish football's governing bodies, previous owners (of the defunkt club), the other SPL clubs, and now their own players.

 

The only people left for them to blame are their own fans!

If this does actually come about the other 41 clubs in senior football should get together and resign from the SPL/SL em-masse and form a new SFFL (scottish Fair Football League).

 

Never gonna happen though

Hunday Mail claiming this is a done deal. If it is I will be finished not only with club football in Scotland but the national team as well. Fact SFA seem to be doing everything in their power to save a club who have systematically broken the SFA rules for last 15 years proves how totally corrupt the game up here is.

Some of the broadsheets are covering this as well, although Scotland on Sunday hasn't said its a done deal.  I'm increasingly concerned about this.  Do the clubs and authorities not realise that fans will not accept anything other than newco applying to start in the bottom tier of Scottish football?

 

The problem seems to be that Sky may pull the plug if newco is dumped into division 3.

 

I too would be completely finished with Scottish football if the rules are changed to parachute newco down one division.  It would be an utter scandal.

Naismith and Whittaker doing the same as Aluko and rejecting move to newco. Say they will not turn up for pre-season training and will be looking for other employment.

So much for wee "naisy's" loyalty.

 

Seems huns do do walking away after all

I know I shouldn't look but......

Scottish football chiefs agree on deal to take Rangers newco into First Division

 

So now we know what th "chiefs" think of the rest of us mere pond-scum! 

gordon smith is on the front page of the sunday post saying the huns should volunteer for relegation. they'll probably come out of this smelling like roses.

 

carve up.

Well, surely they still have to apply for membership of the SPL at some point? Unless the SPL and SFL merge beforehand.

 

But like has been said, football in Scotland will be fucking dead to me if this little carve up transpires.

Yeah.

 

How can a "team" with no league status "volunteer for relegation"?

 

Relegation from what? The human race?

 

A Joke! the whole of Scottish football is a fucking Joke, we have all been conned for years 

 

So much for wee "naisy's" loyalty.

Young Stevie must have made a recovery then if he is fit to do that

Hibs confirm they'll vote no to newco.

How can a Newco claim that players are breaching their contracts if they refuse to transfer their contracts? Surely the contract is with Rangers, and if Rangers don't exist any more aren't the contracts null and void? It seems ridiculous to say they are a new company so don't have to pay any outstanding debts, but they still get to keep everything the old Rangers had.

Green saying that Rangers is still Rangers and the players should be mindful of this.

 

But HMRC are just supposed to not notice presumably.

Green is living in cloud cuckoo land, he probably still believes they will be in the SPL next season.
