Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Is this a step to far by John Brown? Since leaving Rangers he has been involved with the ex boxer Paul Hughes...............now comes this , he is bringing these two chancers to the table to meet with Charles Green..................really good move or a bad one from John Brown?JOHN BROWN needed only two words to sum up part one of his vision for Rangers to his £11million backers: Get Walter. 2 commentsRelated StoriesBomber: Why I have to back bidRANGERS legend John Brown reveals why he is backing new rescue bidGreen’s plot to buy BuryShow up order for Gers starsLongmuir set to pick up piecesVote with heads and not heartsDanny: Ban Rangers talkScottish Sun Sportscotsunsportscotsunsport Charles Green is looking at an astonishing plan to buy Bury so they can play down south in England: bit.ly/KUJIzJ6 hours ago · reply · retweet · favoritescotsunsport Charles Green wants Rangers’ rivals to think about finances rather than their own fans’ views on July 4: bit.ly/Mi6x046 hours ago · reply · retweet · favoritescotsunsport Inverness Caley Thistle have signed Gary Warren on a one-year contract from Newport County.12 hours ago · reply · retweet · favoritescotsunsport Scots housebuilders and property developers Allan Stewart and Stephen McKenna linked with £11m bid for Rangers.12 hours ago · reply · retweet · favoritescotsunsport Success for Scottish Sun tipster Templegate as So You Think wins at Royal Ascot. Follow his tips for day three of the festival tomorrow.12 hours ago · reply · retweet · favoriteJoin the conversationSteve McKenna and Allan Stewart say they will today lodge their proof of funds with the Charles Green regime as their firm Aleftav bid to tempt the Yorkshireman into a deal.Legendary defender Brown, a hero to Ibrox fans throughout 278 appearances in a Light Blue jersey, will shrug off any fears over the business past of two friends he trusts implicitly.Brown opened his heart to SunSport on the vision he has for the future of the broken club he loves.Bomber said: “These investors are willing to take Rangers forward.“I am bringing them to the table to talk with Charles Green and see what can be done.“I have watched Walter Smith’s consortium fall by the wayside and I feel strongly we need all Rangers men to rally round the club now.“Walter is a hero to the fans and to me. The man gave me so much as a player and also as a person he has been fantastic.“He has shown in the right circumstances he could be lured back, you must look at that first.”McKenna and Stewart have been considering the Rangers deal for four months.They’ve monitored developments and now the two Glasgow property magnates fear for the future of Gers unless significant funding is pumped in.With the massive wage cuts staff accepted during the administration phase now scrapped, the full salary bill is due again on June 26.Brown is part of that payroll as boss Ally McCoist’s transfer scout.Bomber’s future is mired in uncertainty, he suffered through a nightmare season with Craig Whyte stopping one deal after another.Brown and former Gers team-mate Neil Murray would suggest players, then see their fourth choice pursued instead of their first.As we sat in the office of East Kilbride’s K Park Training Academy, with a kids anti-sectarian game being played outside, Bomber added: “Every ex-player I know who cares for Rangers is hurting now.“Jorg Albertz, Lorenzo Amoruso, Michael Mols, Artur Numan, Brian Laudrup, Gio van Bronckhorst — all of them.“I’ve had messages from them desperate for even just a shred of good news. Those guys grew to love Rangers and they are so worried for us now. Playing, coaching and supporting Rangers has given me a great life. I owe them this. Look at what Ally McCoist has gone through.“I have been inside Rangers working as a scout and that makes me want to bring in people who can help save us.“Ally has gone through a shambles, I just want there to be clarity and to help him now.“He has faced so many problems created by the previous regimes.”Each day that goes by towards Judgement Day on July 4, when the SPL vote will decide on Gers’ fate, sees Brown’s anger mount.Brown is furious at the state Rangers have been left in after the end to Sir David Murray’s reign and the Whyte debacle, seething at what he perceives as a witch-hunt against the most successful club in Scottish football.Brown, who was honouring East Kilbride school Duncanrig being crowned Champion for Change in the battle against sectarianism, said: “This is have a kick at Rangers time.“I go back to my Dundee days in the early 80s when I was in a side that was so fired up every time we played Rangers.“They were the team we wanted to beat the most.“Now everyone is out to get us, they all want a bit of flesh.“Yet we put ourselves in this position, at their mercy.“There has been behaviour in previous regimes that is out of order and we must pay for that.“Yet surely there has to come a time when there is enough punishment?“Scottish football needs Rangers and a lot of teams will suffer if we are put out of the SPL.“Rangers have done wrong, but let’s get this issue on an even keel.“Whatever sanctions come we should handle, but we should be in the SPL. Relegate Rangers to Division Three? The majority of these SPL clubs are run by the banks themselves.“Can they afford the lost revenue from Sky TV and through the gates without Gers at their grounds?“They should think about that. Be careful what you wish for.”Aleftav will officially lodge their bid with new Gers owner Green’s Sevco consortium today.Brown is praying the new Ibrox supremo will get round the table with McKenna and Stewart.Bomber added: “I have been disgusted by the handling of Rangers and it’s the fans who have suffered.“I am a Rangers fan, one who was fortunate enough to play for this great club. My parents are in their seventies and they talk about what has happened every day.“I have been ashamed to see what has happened.“Rangers has given me everything and I want to help to give the club back to the fans.”Really John you should stick to what you are good at...............wait a minute you are too old for football now............John research the people you approach you with this nonsense and no sectarian slur involved .....just look at their track record John.BTW are you still being paid by the club...not a good career move John.Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/feeds/smartphone/scotland/4385444/These-guys-can-take-Rangers-forward.html#ixzz1yPMcBbd9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 How can these DFB's launch a bid for RFC???McKenna and his buddy have already had one company go bankrupt over unpaid tax bills. What about the SFA/SPL 'fit and proper person' test?McKenna not fit for purpose and certainly not the proper person to be owning Rangers.Perhaps this is all just a ruse to get people saying "...oh maybe Green is not all that bad"?

Guardian 4,281 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If a bid fronted by Walter failed miserably, this one from a twice bankrupted, tax dodging ex celtic player is doomed.There is no way they have the funding for this.Just publicity seekers hopping onto the Rangers coverage to boost their own.
