WaltersGotStyle 160 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 When he first came into the game, Ngadmitted he knew little about football.“I came into football because I wasinfluenced by the love my two sons havefor the sport and I have to admit I’m not afootball man,” he said.“When I came in, I didn’t even knowwhat the offside rule was and my sons hadto teach me.”http://imcms2.mediacorp.sg/CMSFileserver/documents/006/PDF/20101204/0412SPW032.pdfStolen from Casey's gersnet thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monk 3,207 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Reading that, I trust the man even more. Hope he is the pb although I don't exactly know much about Miller. Can't see Ng liquidating us, just wants impress his kids IMO, giving them a team to support and to see what players they want for that team (obviously within reason).

WaltersGotStyle 160 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 To be honest the article is a good one and I think Casey was playing devils advocate with his thread on Gersnet.I really hope Bill Ng is one of the good guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Don't think any fan truly believed he was a life long Rangers fan. But if this is the worst thing we can find out about him, then it's not really a massive problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMC 125 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm hoping he doesn't go and get us messi ronaldo etc and realistically he won't but there are a lot of top Asian players which I would happily see at Ibrox, if there the type of platters he wants to see.For example no reason for saying it but maybe he'd want to sign us someone like Park Ji Sung as a marquee signing, very unlikely but if he wants to spread the brand of Asian football it would be very welcome He certainly are eager to drag footy in S'pore forward..Not unlike the Sheikhs in Qatar and Abu Dhabi who have taken over clubs in Europe and financed them generously.That said he´s no arab oil-sheikh, he´s chinese so he´ll be very businessminded. He would expect Rangers to become self-sufficient and most probably have a plan ready. In my personal view it´s also unlikely that there ain´t someone behind him, someone with serious money that don´t want to show his hand but are willing to give the project his blessing.It´s a confusing network these chinese business clans..But I´m willing to bet that at least one guy in his group will be from Hongkong. Who coincidentaly have a number of chinese/Euroasian/western business tycoons with a drop of Scottish blood in them.But this is just speculations from me of course, but right now we can just speculate.

Guardian 4,281 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I don't see being a "good Rangers man" as an essential qualification for owning Rangers.It would be nice but is really not needed.I'd rather have a solid business man or team, who will steady the ship and steer us back into good health.Ng seems to fit the bill, but thats only an early opinion without a lot to base it on.I don't think it would take much effort from him to get the fans behind him.

Obviously anyone hell bent of feeding their own ego or that just wants to spend spend spend because they love the club is going to end in disaster.

gaz watp 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi guys I'm new to forum, I'm a naturally cynical untrusting person to begin wi, I don't believe for one minute that NG is a true blue for 40 yrs but he does appear to want to take us forward by restructuring the board with football and business minded people who know the club, so he said. Also he said he would not be running it but be in the background somewhere whatever that means! On his consortium he said that he has serious and wealthy business partners within it. For me he is saying all the right things and ticking the right boxes but as we have seen recently with CW is it all as it seems. If and when he takes over he will have my 100% backing I'm not being negative about all this just wary, he will have to show some transparency and for me a life long bear I hope his first appointment should be the figurehead and ambassador that is mr rangers John Greig, class, dignity a true gentleman. Nobody better. WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickywelsh 45 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I just want this nightmare to end soon. If ng is the man get him in asap and get the fight back started.
