gunslinger 270 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 For the first time since November something real is happening.It's a good kind of scared.ive never bought into that nothings happening stuff. of course something was happening just slowly and rather unknown what. this could still collapse but whytes now spent 100's of thousands on this deal it was never imaginary as some suggested. exciting times i say. nervous excitment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm not so sure, apart from the screens of course, the outside is a bit outdated in places too. But I don't see much that is essential. A lick of paint wouldn't go a miss, but I can't see much else on the naked eye that screams neglection.I think its been looking out dated for a few years now.

gunslinger 270 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The elder guy from the RST said, when asked by Tanner what is Craig Whyte taking on, 'A stadium that needs alot of work done to it..' Then went onto list a squad that needs new players etc. But the stadium was the first thing he said, the stadium would be the last thing I'd mention. Something we don't know? There was alot of talk about our burst water pipes and more being to it than thought.Just throwing that out there.some people have said up to 12 million needs to be spent in the papers. if so no wonder its a large concern.

TheLawMan 6,240 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Come 2moro their debt 'Could' be double what ours may beOurs - this supposed £4mTheirs - last I heard £9mCarlsberg don't do thursdays......Their debt is much higher than that. They have loads of trade debt that does not get counted in their Net Debt figure. Its similar to the £8 million or so that we paid off last season for old transfers.

Spacecowboy 92 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 While his motives are a bit murky i'll stay positive and hope that he sees us as a money making business that is going to help his profile in the business world as it did for SDM , Ellis is slighlty different , maybe he sees the ground in and around the stadium as his money maker while also raising his profile , with no debt and hopefully continuous runs in Europe we are a VERY attractive business to have IMO , making £6-8m a season etc . Only time will tellIMO this is going to be great for rangers, while only thinking good things will happen as all bears would wish for our club.But you have to ask what ellis really brings to the table? If he's not putting money in then what else is he bringing? His propery dev skills? other investors? Knowledge of the football community?All in all we dont know, and as stated before this could go either way after the take overGranted we couldnt get into a worse position than we are in (well without the unthinkable happening) but untill we know what plans are in our future and who will be in day to day control of our club I"ll reserve my judgement untill these things are made clearer.I hope this is what we ultimately need as a football club, but as a business I'm not so sure.
