markybear 136 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm still open minded regarding Whyte at the min.But Andrew Ellis..... Peter Ellis, Martin Ellis, is it a mx up and the media don't know who is who?They just seem to use his name to fill the blanks at the bottom of the page.Also "a friend said", either name the friend or it's just plain bollox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear 25 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I have mixed feelings about this bid with A Ellis involved.me too.................but to try and put a positive spin on his involvement. Whyte is obviously a very smart businessman, despite what some posters on here will try and counter claim. He is going to be "The Boss".....these guys are ruthless so he wont let Ellis do anything that harms The Rangers...........hopefuly.But..............i'd still rather he wasn't anywhere near us...........

Bear 25 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I am well aware of the hate for Murray.................but i don;t think for a second he will sell The Rangers unless he is satisfied they have the right credentials to take us forwards.When Murray goes he will get a "Thanks you" from me as he was at the helm during the best years of my life as a Bear........he financed it, he backed the manager...........he tried to win us the CL, and almost did.So i can forget the bad times because the good far outweigh them...........

Guest Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I dont think it was that Ellis didnt have the money to buy rangers...He did but he didnt have the money to invest in the team and take the club forward but this time around whyte has the financial muscle.

gunslinger 270 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 One problem, Andrew Ellis is a fucking London estate agent with nae dough is he not (well he's not a millionaire anyway)If this is going to happen then I believe it'll be Whyte on his own ( IMO )andrew ellis isnt an estate agent that was a mistake made by the papers at the time of his interest. his family are well of as are that of his wife.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Was all really exciting until i heard Ellis' name mentioned. Side note, Mr Whyte went to the same school as me!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markybear 136 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Ok maybe hes got a pot.I find it odd that he's linked again after Murray cut the "deal" with him last timeNotice hyphens on the word deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markybear 136 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 he couldnt raise the 32 million last time. this time he only needs to raise 8Still alot of money though. Ellis for me needs to address our support with his plans etc if (and it's a big if) he's even involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I think it's fair to say Ellis is just in it for the money,not always a bad thing though.A successful Rangers will make a healthy profit.A couple of quality signings a season in the same mould as Jelavic and we could be looking at the last 16 as a regular occurrence.
