gunslinger 270 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 So he has 780million worth of assets just now. Considering we are in a recession that is pretty good. Im pretty sure david murrays fortune went from like 700 odd million to about 100 odd million when the credit crunch hit so i wonder how much of a hit whyte took. Assests could be well over a billion if the economy etc picks up.I think his personal wealth would probably be around 200-300 million if he has assets worth 780 million.i couldnt really say. its just something i read.

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Ah right you mean he's actually said nothing and the Beeb are making it up.Seems a bit of a strange story to make up though.If the story was legit, irrefutable or provable we wouldnt be reading or hearing about "sources close to........."; we'd be getting names.Rangers suddenly having money is a big story. Plenty of Rangers fans who dont buy papers regularly will start just to be part of the hysteria surrounding Rangers transfer dealings.Print media is going out of business and so are most news outlets. They have survival as a reason to "make stuff up". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The reason he is worth so muh is because he DOES argue over every deal.The old saying 'look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves' always comes to mind during these negotiations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was thought Whyte would have been the new owner today but talks are still dragging on.Sources close to Whyte insist he will snap up the club once the deal is right.He said: "We want to get the right deal for Rangers FC. We want the right deal for the manager, players and the right deal for the Rangers fans. This is why we are taking our time to make sure as much cash goes into the club."This has been our goal throughout this."Whyte will not be pushed into a deal which will not benefit Rangers in the end."Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3517855/Whyte-plans-8m-splash.html#ixzz1IyUR1AsT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
