stampyurie 203 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I wish I could wake up tomorrow to headlines that we've been taken over, everything's been finalised, and Whyte's given Walter a £10m transfer kitty....That would be an ace dream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC82 15 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If this guy was serious he would have pushed the deal through by now, why the hell would he stand in the shadows and watch a mighty institution scrape the bottom of a fucking barrel for loan players.I doubt anything will come of this.

SteveJ 743 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am getting a tad tired of Rangers fans ripping the club, its owner and its prospective buyer.Rangers spent nearly £6M in the summer, yet that is forgotten when January comes around. Is it the clubs fault that this fund was spent on two players? It is the manager who spends the fund.David Murray has given the Ranger a good 20 year ride and given him a team to celebrate but the time has come for him to go back to concentrating on his main business and because of that, he has no time or money for the club - thanks SDM, I accept that and good luck in your business.Any prospective buyer has the right to take his time in buying the club and if truth be told, I would rather he took his time. If he were to buy Rangers regardless of potential debts coming up in the future, it would make me think he has alterior motives and can see a profit in the business, rather than wanting to take a club and build it back to what it was or better, then see a profit.

nvager 498 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Lost all faith in any takeover. When the name Ellis came up I had a bad feeling that nothing would come of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Of course it is entirely possible that Craig Whyte will invest in Rangers; or do people suppose that a man who was the youngest self made millionaire in his early 20s would be wanting to play games in order that, for whatever reason, Sir David Murray wants to "buy time and breathing space"? What if Craig Whyte is a man who does things in his time, and in his way? I have heard that he is a very serious individual, and someone who plays his cards very close. People should perhaps also stop associating him with Andrew Ellis, if Craig Whyte invests in Rangers it will be Craig Whyte running things in his way. I am not sure it is Craig Whyte's fault that this story has captured the imagination of the Scottish media, but I think there is an interesting silence that has entered the proceedings, and that, from the little I have heard, tends to be the way he likes to operate.

And again, you are correct, ist the manager who spends it, the man who also thought it was wise to spend £7m on Edu, Lafferty and Velicka!I dont think fans could complain about SDM NOT backing his managers, he certainly has and that is not one of his failings, far from it, but i cant buy into, him having other business's and ignoring us, thats not an excuse for the state we find ourselves in. He is still our main man the way he has neglected our club in the last 5 years has been nothing short of disgraceful, other business's or not. I wont be thaking him.What potential debts in the future?We would be healthy and posting profits regularly, if we could get rid of our association with the bank and our debt.

Mackem09 2 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I know it seems like an age, and the whole thing is dragging on, but takeovers are not straight forward things (unless of course you are super rich). It took nearly 8mths for the takeover of Sunderland to be complete and we haven't looked back since!

caseyjones 3,009 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Even if any takeover does come about, which I don't believe will, we will still be able to spend around the same amount as we do now. The financial rewards in Scottish football don't allow for anything else. If a sugar daddy was going to save the club, he would have done so prior to this.There are going to be a lot of disappointed Bears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
