Aye maybe Murray gave Keith a final exclusive as a parting gift.

Who knows but I do know one thing, if the record is right and Kings about to cash in no one will remember the time they got it right and next story, anyone that believes will get the tedious “it’s the media” line dismissing it

Rangers are continuing negotiations with Steven Gerrard to become manager 

Liverpool hero Gerrard admitted he has held 'positive talks' with the Ibrox club 

Rangers have begun seeking investment to provide Gerrard with transfer funds 

Rangers are in talks with potential investors over plans to raise cash for a Steven Gerrard transfer fund.

The Ibrox club will continue negotiations with their No 1 target for the manager's post on Thursday. Gerrard wants former Scotland captain Gary McAllister as his No 2 and admitted on Tuesday that he has already held 'positive talks' with the Rangers hierarchy.

The Liverpool and England icon is, however, reported to be seeking assurances over transfer cash before accepting the job.

Sportsmail understands chairman Dave King has already held discussions with external parties willing to put money into the club, via a rights issue geared to converting existing shareholder loans to equity and raising working capital.

Plans to raise funds have been delayed by King's court battle with the Takeover Panel, who have compelled him to make a mandatory offer for shares in the club.

Rangers are in talks with investors over plans to raise cash for a Steven Gerrard transfer fund

Sportsmail understands chairman Dave King has already held discussions with external parties willing to put money into the club, via a rights issue geared to converting existing shareholder loans to equity and raising working capital.

Plans to raise funds have been delayed by King's court battle with the Takeover Panel, who have compelled him to make a mandatory offer for shares in the club.

The financial regulator have been granted two interdicts ordering the Rangers chairman to both make an offer and to provide third-party proof he has the funds to comply.

Found by the Court of Session to have acted in concert with three other shareholders in the boardroom, the South African-based businessman had until last Thursday to contact other shareholders with an offer to buy up the remaining two-thirds of the club's equity at 20p per share, but failed to prove he had the cash to buy the shares.

A statement on the club's website last week read: 'RIFC is seeking the necessary South African Government approvals to permit the cash required for the offer to be transferred to the United Kingdom to enable an appropriate third party to provide the cash confirmation.

'Meantime, the Takeover Panel has asked RIFC to advise shareholders that the Panel will take all appropriate steps to seek to ensure that a Code-compliant offer is made as soon as possible.'

Meanwhile, Paul Murray, one of King's takeover allies, added to a week of Ibrox turmoil yesterday when he and fellow director Barry Scott stepped down from the Rangers board.

Former Deutsche Bank accountant Murray returned as a director of the Rangers International Football Club PLC when King's consortium wrestled power back from the old regime three years ago.

Hong Kong businessman Scott joined the Rangers board last December having been part of a group who invested £6.5million in loans to the club.

A club statement read: 'Rangers International Football Club PLC notify the resignation of two directors, Mr Paul Murray and Mr Barry Scott.

'Paul has been a director since March 2015 and played an important role at that time in helping oust the previous board and restore the club to the hands of those who have its best interests at heart.

'Paul has served with distinction as a director since that time and all at Rangers are very grateful for his efforts. We look forward to welcoming him again as a supporter.

'Barry joined the board more recently and his enthusiasm and drive were welcome. The board knows it will continue to enjoy his support and appreciates the commitment he has shown to the club.'

How good would it be if there was this rumoured 20-30 million investment coming and it was them that wanted Gerrard appointed and King and Murray removed so they could trust their investment? Perhaps the ultimate power play by Park behind the scenes pulling all the strings 

can dream 

Is it not more likely that King has forced Murray and Scott out to give a couple of people who're wanting to invest a place on the board?

Unfortunately I don't think King is going anywhere.

I don't know the ins and outs of the more complicated boardroom matters but I'm sure I've saw many posters on here talk about this for months?

I just don’t see King leaving right now tbh, he’s about to get his mate in to the managers job I’m sure he wants to stick around for that.

Sticking around is going to cost him 11 million,  or are his investors paying that also as he has deep pockets and short arms. Anybody with an ounce of sense would want him out with the other two, part of the deal and handsomely paid for his efforts in fooling most of the fans for two years now, good riddance, a price worth paying.

I agree pal. In this instance though I’d be surprised if anyone had any accurate information about King’s plans and discussions with Gerrard.

Every one is guessing and it’s clear Murray/Scott aren’t releasing their side of things because all the usual suspects (wankers) were out guessing this morning and printing nothing of substance. 

And there is the fact that King probably doesn’t even know what he’s doing so how would the mail  

[King Jela 20,361]

Absolutely don't see Gerrard taking the job now. 

In fact, I might actually put a wager on it I'm that sure he'll knock us back. 

[billym27 315]

Same I can't see all this ending well. Gerrard will tell King to fuck off and there will be no investment. We'll have made a right arse of ourselves beyond Scotland thanks to how high profile Gerrard's name is. This could easily be the boards biggest fuck up. 

I hope I'm wrong but I find it hard to be optimistic these days.

No wonder they 2 left yesterday if this is the case. Also if it is the case we’re fucking finished.

[islandblue 366]

Think this is all guesswork by the Express. There is clearly something afoot but the details rightly are under wraps till a formal announcement. My guess which is as good as anyone else’s is it will be good news for us and is all sorted.

So what does Stevie G make of this when he opens a paper today? 

Rangers want him to sign and promise investment yet its being revealed they don't have it yet? 

Surely any sane person would say come back when you have it. 

In a rights issue a large proportion of the shares will go to the board in lieu of the loan money thus wiping out the debt. At this point they could sell them to an investor and walk away. 

None of this will happen quickly so how on earth can SG take the job based on Kings specialty, jam tomorrow. 

I'm not buying mini and scott leaving to make way. Its not like seats on the board are limited. They obviously don't like what King is up to and are baling out. Given the lengths mini went to for his blazer it can't be something trivial. 

I have tried to be positive about this but it doesn't add up to anything good. I think Gerrard will fall through precipitating even more chaos and upheaval.
