so aj seems to have brokered a better deal for rangers out of his delays. sounds good to me as a rangers fan. you know. not a lloyds fan.

you wonder what better deal though

clearing the debt, removing SDM and supplying money for new players

canny get much better than that, maybe AJ has inserted a clause that states donald findlay must be brought back as the clubs PR man :lol:

The Sun:

SIR DAVID MURRAY'S 23-year tenure at Rangers will end this morning when Craig Whyte is confirmed as the new owner of the SPL champs.

And manager-in-waiting Ally McCoist will immediately be handed a bumper £10million summer transfer kitty.

Tycoon Whyte agreed a £33m deal with Murray yesterday to end a six-month takeover saga.

On top of the £10m he's pledged to give McCoist this summer, he has also guaranteed him at least £5m a season for the next four years.

It means the new boss can bring in fresh talent and step into contract talks with current stars like Allan McGregor and Steven Davis.

Whyte's takeover will see steel tycoon Murray recoup over £3m and settle debts of almost £20m with the Lloyds Banking Group.

Sir David's colourful spell at the helm - which saw Gers land 36 trophies - looks certain to be brought to a close today.

He agreed the sale after a fresh round of talks with Motherwell-born Whyte in Edinburgh.

A specialist team of more than a dozen lawyers worked late into the night in a bid to complete the deal.

It's now expected a new era will commence with an announcement to the London markets this morning.

Whyte's much-needed cash injection will haul Gers away from the threat of financial meltdown.

Gers chairman Alastair Johnston, who cast doubt over Whyte's plans last month, yesterday confirmed the five-man independent panel on the Ibrox board were now satisfied with his big-money scheme.

The US-based chairman will resign his post on May 16 with Whyte expected to make more boardroom changes.

It's the alterations ON the park which will excite Gers supporters even more - with McCoist already eyeing targets at home and abroad as he prepares to succeed Walter Smith.

Gers now stand just three wins from Three in a Row title joy after Celtic's shock 3-2 loss at Inverness on Wednesday night.

That would hand them a ticket to the Champions League qualifiers and open up the prospect of another huge cash boost.

It would represent a dramatic financial turn-around just weeks after Johnston claimed the club could plunge into an abyss.

Sir David, who bought Gers for £6m in 1988, has been trying to sell his controlling stake for five years. He held talks with property tycoon Andrew Ellis last year and was also approached by Gers non-executive director Paul Murray.

Whyte has emerged as the only credible suitor after providing proof of funds and convincing Sir David, Lloyds and the board that he can take the club forward.
