Frankie 505 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dont beleive a word of it, more attention seeking from op. I assume GCL is basing his information on that posted by a fairly reliable poster on FF. All interesting information which is useful but I'm sure he'd agree this information would be better appreciated coming from the consortium itself. I wouldn't expect the second bid to realise a sale at this stage unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 GCL has a journo friend i believe and he broke the Tennents sponsorship news,so i won't dismiss this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon123 18 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 i fear this could go on for a while yet,no sane person is going to invest in a club playing in the spl,it might even take years to resolve,and i can see murray comming back at some stage,after all it was him who got us in this mess,he may feel he has something to prove !!! I actually think we could turn a profit if well run. A good businessman would see the opportunity. i agree,we should be run along the lines of Ajax spotting talent early getting 4-5 seasons out of them and then selling on to england for proper fees not the silly amounts we have let players go for in past...ie....adam,mckormack,burke,furman,n"guessan,efram,and others...

gary2006 123 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Is Duffy no the one that wanted all of us to chip in £1000? yes i think it was to me thats a non starter i belive we already pay enough a season.season ticket for me and my son and 3 strips to boot and this guy is asking for more i personally think it's a non starter a bit of research on this guy and personlly i think he looks like a dodgy charachter but that's just my opinion. lastly it would piss me off if a new buyer strolls in after the transfer window is shut surely if you really wanted to buy rangers you would have tried your best to take over early in the transfer window help walter strengthen the team and make sure we won the championship speculate to acumulate.

Chookes 20 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If some consortium has bid 60p in the pound then I might as well ask seeing as I don't really know much about subjects like this. Does the offer of 60p in the pound mean that they can't afford to offer more or because they're trying to get the best deal possible? I'm assuming by your that it's more likely the former but I thought I'd ask anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming by your that it's more likely the former but I thought I'd ask anyway. I'd assume they're trying to get the club for as cheap as possible in order to retain as much funds as possible for club investment after the purchase. Hence the banners we've seen lately and the AGM lack of support for Donald Muir - all exercises in apportioning pressure on the bank to try and gain an artificially low price for the club.

Frankie 505 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Cheers. Do the bank want to get a pound in the pound? Is there any idea how low they will go? I have no idea but given their financial commitments to other clubs and the fact we're not in administration, I doubt they'll go much lower than their asking price which is allegedly £31million - the reported debt of the club at June 2009.
