WWTC 2,247 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 US$55mil and US$65mil .. what happened to the billions?Exacly. Several members were posting his family wealth is around £8B, but ive yet to see a link between him and the Ng family. Excluding the name, ofcourse.

Broxi 11,473 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Don't know if people know this but Grant Holt used to play for Ng's team in Singapore in 2001. Formally called Sengkang Punggol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniemca 479 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The singapore bid is my preference but this smells of shiteAlmost 40 years ago, a Singaporean boy watched on television as Scottish football club Rangers conquered Europe for the first time by lifting the European Cupwinners’ Cup.he's a right lucky cunt then. it wasn't even on live in this fuckin dump of a country ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1873bear 192 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 None of the bidders fill me with confidence to be honest.....Murray & Whyte have made me very wary of any new owners...Hopefully my fears will be eased soon because i hate all this uncertainty its driving me insane.

4MenHadADream 122 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 He aint got pots of dough $55m -$65m they reckon in that article, hope you have some richer pals Bill.Maybe he has other partners, cos the other day an article had quotes from him stating that he had set aside $20m for this, if that is his worth then I doubt he could afford that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 339 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 "Former Hougang coach Aide Iskandar recalled how Ng would call him in the middle of the night to discuss tactics."That's a worry for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 "Former Hougang coach Aide Iskandar recalled how Ng would call him in the middle of the night to discuss tactics."That's a worry for me.Also said he got final say on team selections. How many of us would like to fone ally and talk about signings ? Yeah difference is he could. As long as ally has final say I don't care Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smell the hotdog 4,015 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Don't trust the guy one bit. Don't think wealth is most important part. Its about who has our best interests at heart i.e no liquidation.Personally i think that's tbk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,286 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I do worry that he is pretty new to our culture and as football clubs go we are pretty conservative (for example just about the only one not to have silly patterns with seats etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_himself 45 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 for all the optimism on here from that guy off gersnet, his quotes have been laughable, either he is ripping the piss and is another chancer or has took some really shite p.r advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,463 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If anybody is registered with Likedin, This is his profile http://sg.linkedin.com/pub/william-ng/2a/156/994. William NgVice President at UOBSingapore BankingLooks like United Overseas Bank are involved.Vice President is a very low title within banking circles - like 6 to 8 years post University level. In addition, the name William Ng is probably one of the most common names in Asia, so there is little chance that it is him.UOB is one of the biggest Singaporean banks but I am confident that a) this is not the same guy and b) UOB have nothing to do with it.

Frankie 505 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hoping to have more info on the NG bid today.For the moment, Singapore say they want continuity in the dug-out if successful. Their board members all know McCoist well. If their bid is successful, they will meet with McCoist immediately to discuss future plans. Hoping for more news later.

Ger_Scott 73 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I could be wrong but was the channel 4 dispatches programme that had Bryan Robson in it not about signapore business men buying english clubs?The one where they had the footage of Robson telling the fake business man from channel 4 to buy a championship club, loan players from man utd and then sell up once it gets into the premier for a profit. I'm just wary off anyone after being repeatedly lied to by the parasite for the last 11 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawdeepLoyal 94 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 for all the optimism on here from that guy off gersnet, his quotes have been laughable, either he is ripping the piss and is another chancer or has took some really shite p.r adviceThe vast majority of people in the UK never mind Scotland would struggle to believe the obsession that Asia has with football.It wouldn't surprise me if he knows more about The Rangers than we think. I would doubt that he is a Bluenose in the true sense of the word, but then again, neither was Murray or Whyte, so nothing new there.If he can open the Asia market for us that will be more profitable in the long run than anything else.He is definitely worth exploring further, thats for sure.
