ScottBF2 3,540 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not meaning to be excessively negative and I really hope these stories are true but if there were interested parties wanting the club why didn't they come forward in the years when Murray was trying to sell.That's it though the only negativity hopefully we can get an owner in who can sort out this mess get rid of Whyte and allow us to prosper as a club When Murray was selling up there were too many variables in place, we'd need major restructuring and I'm not sure how good Murray would have been to work with for a deal, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be easy.Right now we're as good a prospect as we've ever been. We've got a playing squad all on low wages and if anyone were to come in then we'd most likely be able to turn a profit with minimum investment.Add in to the fact we're an untapped commercial source and it's a pretty decent deal for whoever buys Rangers.

BillyBoy11 63 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 indeed that would be fantastic news. Ever since we signed Beasley i always felt we could build a good connection with america. We're a patriotic club with a rich history and traditions, playing in blue red and white. We currently have a few internationals in the team including there captain, and our anthem is/was marching through georgia.After we win the league every season it would be great if we had some sort of agreement with the MLS to go over and played a tournament with perhaps the top 2 MLS teams & maybe another european club, for extra revenue and promotion of the brand in the states.from a business point of view it makes alot of sense, i read a cracking article last year about the recent takeover of the NY Cosmos, which was completely about the brand rather than the actual team. The new owners promote a NY Cosmos fashion line very heavily with the samba style badge and highered Pele to be the face of the brand.Highered?! - Hired. :lol: Am not usually one one for pulling up people on their grammar but that is excellent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madina 3,817 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I won't be getting too excited until anything is finalised. Been left disapointed too many times to get my hopes up too much. Hopefully a new owner will be in place by the end of the month (wishful thinking perhaps) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were laughing all the way to the bank.ah well you mentioned his name not me, so i can't get into bother my source in LA tells me he's part of a consortium, also tells me some guy called aj is involved as well (i think we all know who aj is) but my source doesn't know who aj is because he doesn't follow soccer (as he calls it) big nhl fan.if my source is right i owe him 2 bottles of glennfiddick or whatever the whisky is called Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madina 3,817 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I presume Anschutz is Jewish (going by the surname), not that it matters, can't say I have heard of him but if saves our club he will be a hero in my eyes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainjardine1 5 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not to get carried away or anything, but this is Anschutz' company. Owns or has an interest in loads of sports teams in the USA and europe. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how involved he'll be, with day to day running of the club. But with the amount he's worth, and the connections he has. It would be interesting to say the least.
