Ibroxblue 122 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 CRAIG WHYTE has vowed to DOUBLE Ally McCoist's summer transfer kitty in a move that could finally win him control of Rangers.SunSport can reveal that London-based tycoon Whyte has now pledged a £10MILLION close season war chest for new boss Coisty.The commitment came in a fresh round of weekend talks - after Sir David Murray assured McCoist that he would only do the deal if more dosh was made available.Whyte agreed to a fresh injection of transfer funds - and that has edged him closer than ever to completing his takeover.It's understood the terms could now be rubber-stamped by the Ibrox board within days.Whyte had initially vowed to hand over £5m a year for the next five years to McCoist.But Rangers chiefs were unhappy with that figure - and support grew for a rival bid backed by Paul Murray, Dave King and Douglas Park.Now though, Whyte has upped the stakes and Gers chairman Alastair Johnston has admitted that a deal is looming ever closer.He said: "We are now much closer to viewing Craig Whyte's bid as the right one for Rangers."The developments will come as a huge bodyblow to rival bidders Murray, King and Park, whose offer would have given McCoist more cash to spend as he seeks to rebuild the team this summer. But the proposed deal crucially failed to win over Lloyds Bank as it would not have wiped out Rangers' debt.Whyte's package, in contrast, met the criteria of clearing the £20million that will take Lloyds out of the club and wipe the slate clean. A source close to the deal said last night that there is nothing now standing in the way of the paperwork being signed, sealed and delivered.He added: "It looks like the end-game is fast approaching - and Whyte will take control of Rangers. A deal could be just days away."Craig's investment could now rise to £55million and there is now an acceptance within Ibrox from the chairman down that this is the way to go."Paul Murray is well respected within Ibrox and there is no question that he has the club's interests at heart but that package has come too late in the game."http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3546842/Double-your-dosh-Coisty.html#ixzz1KZxGv9dX Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 £10M would be fantastic. Weiss £2.5 - £3M, conway - free, Goodwillie £1M. Cash for Bougherra - £3M. That leaves £9M to sort the defence. Simples!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Wilmot's Wedding Brek 299 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It had already been reported in the press that he was going to up it to £10 million in the first season, this is just a regurgitated story.Whyte needs to still push his takeover through first for this to have any meaning.
