This is exactly what i’ve said twice today. IMO the guy is playing a blinder and applying pressure at the right spots and got dicks like Young dancing to his tune

No idea what that means

LOL It is worrying, but remember, we as Scotts are miserable people by nature, we don;t like success stories, we prefer the bad stories. There is a big story over G51 right now, a lot of diff stories. The tax thing is the most sensational one, so they are gonna nit pick at that

TBH, in theory we could go out of business. IMO the person that asked the question knew what he was doing and got what he wanted. There is more chance of us all buying season tickets for Celtic than us going out of business. It’s similar to me standing behind you in Tescos while you buy a lottery ticket and saying,”Mate, can you win the jackpot?” You nod “Yes” Of course you can, but the chances are millions to one. This is fuck all lads, absolutely fuck all. AJ is doing well.

nae worries.

you got an online link please?

what channel?

I totally agree mate. Lets be patient, Whyte has already had his lawyers make a few websites take down crap about his life, that send the right signals to me. Remember this guys mates that he grew up with will be Rangers fans, he IS one of us, he’s a smart guy, so lets hope he will stand up for you and me and get guys in the Boardroom that wont take crap of Spiers et-al.

That’s all well and good in theory, but you need to actually be employed to speak for Rangers officially. It’s not that simple unfortunately

yeah now he has had a look at the books, staff, stadium etc etc and is happy. It’s all good

I agree with you. For us as fan we wanted it done now! That;s human nature. The length of time this has taken is a positive sign to me, it means all parties concerned, especially Whyte and SDM have made sure that CW can take Rangers forwards in a positive and successful manner

It put pressure on various people to go public therefore making things clearer for us. You’re hard work man

http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/240598-rangers-chairman-expects-takeover-news-in-next-couple-of-days/ Alastair Johnston has urged Craig Whyte to give Rangers fans assurances over his takeover, saying he expects movement on a deal “one way or another in the next couple of days.” Speaking on Friday morning, the Rangers chairman says it is important for “speculation” over the deal to be cleared up, as Whyte moves closer to a bid for Murray International Holdings’ 85 per cent stake in the club. “Speculation needs validation regarding where Rangers Football Club is concerned – be it David Murray telling me or the press telling me - as far as I am concerned,” Johnston said of the potential takeover. "I am trying to get a validation of what and when." A source close to the deal however told STV: “Craig Whyte is as anxious as anyone to get this deal over the line. “If and when that has taken place he will be more than happy tell you about his plans with Rangers Football Club.” STV understands issues remain outstanding between Whyte and MIH over the takeover, with the businessman having moved closer to signing off a deal with Lloyds Banking Group over the club’s debt. Whyte's camp have now received documents from Lloyds related to a deal over the repayment of the club's debt. Those proposals will see the asking price for Rangers drop from £33 million to a figure in the region of £25-28 million.

I said it. It’s an old tactic that’s been used a few times this week already. First the fans, esp Frankie put pressure on LLoyds asking them about this get out clause which in turn triggered a lot of movement from Lloyds, Rangers and Whyte. We know about the meeting that happened last night, obviously AJ and the rest of the Rangers men at the meeting are happy with him, so to boot his arse, and put pressure on the tax man he’s gone public to put pressure on them. He knows fine well that Rangers fans and our message boards will be alive with the chatter about us going out of business, even though it’ll not happen, but it is possible if you go by the book. Basically he is cleverly manipulating the people that matter, and the fans (who matter the most) to make a lot of noise about this whole situation, and it’s working. AJ is doing well IMO

There’s no point in lying, it is possible. But, IMO this is a bit of clever manoeuvring by AJ as it puts a bit of pressure on Whyte, the Taxman, and SDM to get something done.

Chick Young also said this takeover wouldn’t happen. He’s a little fart

It’s typical British media reporting. They don’t like success stories so will only print negativity

Fuck off

Me too
