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.

Steve Davis gone.

Davis apparently confirmed as rejecting transfer to Seb Coe.

 

Also protest update:

Add McGregor and Ness to the list.

Steve Davis gone.

 

That'll be him black balled.

What happened to the signing ban?

I know when I left they were going to have the appeals panel sit in judgement again but I guess with the liquidation that has been cancelled/delayed, but if the SFA allow them to transfer their membership presumably any punishment will follow.

 

Court of Session ruled the embargo couldn't stand.  The appeal is to be heard again (suspension from SFA likely) but as you guess that has been delayed.

 

Delayed as they're not going to exist in any form, is my guess.

That'll be him black balled.

 

Clubs will be cueing up to sign him.

He'll pocket a nice signing on fee.

Steve Davis gone.

 

Interesting

Give it a rest...

Oh come on CTS give us a break

Snooker!

Having a squad is Crucible to them getting accepted into a league for next season.

maybe someone else will stay to cushion the blow? But nae doubt he'll pocket a good wage somewhere else

Been too long without our good friend Eduard Khil.

that always makes me laugh

SAINTS have announced that Belgian champions Anderlecht will replace Rangers in this summer's Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup.

 

The club said the switch was "due to the well-publicised circumstances surrounding the Scottish side."

 

The three-team tournament, which takes place at St Mary's on July 14, is also set to feature Premier League side Arsenal.

 

In a statement on their website, Saints also added: "The decision has not been made lightly and has been reached with the integrity of the competition in mind, ensuring that the annual event will remain an extremely competitive experience with both Arsenal and Anderlecht bringing along a first team squad."

 

 

Not my greatest effort but message conveyed.

Best bit is from 1.55 - 2.00.  Could have been custom designed for this very scenario.

Big shout out for 2:30 - 2:32 also.

That should be the Hun dead and buried forever now.

 

Spartans, Linlithgow + 'unnamed others' are gonna challenge the SFA if newco are let in despite not having the 3 years of audited accounts needed for membership.

Been too long without our good friend Eduard Khil.

RIP, Just like Rangers I read he died earlier this month.

The new Champ Man:

 

Pinched!! 

The Rangers fans are taking the news of players walking away well on Rangers Media..............  I hope that all of the deserting rats get their legs broke and end their careers.

 

Henceforth none of them ever did anything for Rangers.
