gordov 17 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 As news broke yesterday that Andrew Ellis was preparing to make a bid of around £33m to more or less save our club I must say that I am obviously relieved that the wheels appearing to be moving and I for one am happy that it is Ellis.There are stories that rival bidders in the shape of Dave King and Douglas Park are circling to see what happens but where were these guys months ago when the "situation" was worse?? Since Lloyd's bank have came in and to use a Alex McCleish quote "cut our cloth accordingly"....the debt has been reduced and is a more attractive proposition but Ellis was around before this all came into light.People that want "Rangers" men in charge I kind of agree with but they had their chance to help.....we now have a"business" man in the shape of Ellis who, lets not forget wouldn't even be in contention if he didn't pass David Murray's vetting procedure, he has already refused other parties in the past. We as fans need to get behind this guy if he gains ownership and hope that he's taking us away from the preverbial edge! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,225 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Confused as to why Dave King is always mentioned as a bidder.I thought all his and his relatives assets have been frozen worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper1989 0 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Fed up reading Dave King's name. Either put together a bid or gtf Mr. King. Not sure how he can though given his personal circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 There has been constant rumours of other bidders lurking, they seem very quiet right now though so I think it's as people suspected they were only interested in a cut price deal, although to be fair 33m is about as cut price as you get.
