London Bear 1 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 No not those dirty arabs.See Nottingham Forest have been bought by a rich kuwaiti family.Why the helll didn't duff and phelps get them interested in rangers. Much bigger club and prouder history. I just wonder whom were Duff and Phelps looking after given they knocked back a higher verbal bid than Charles Green's bid. Did they even try and sell our club to the money men in the middle east. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Bear 1 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Is this tongue in cheek or serious?Serious.The Kuwaiti family have bought Forest, a championship side today. They are planning to put £20m minimum into the squad. Even in their glory days Forest could never get more than 30k+, usually about 20k. Our club is much bigger.

London Bear 1 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 are you simple?I must be. I honestly don't understand. We are bigger than Forest and will always be. They are in the championship. Not even the premiership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea because investing in a team with massive debts, with Tax cases hanging over them and playing in a league where there is no profit to be made is so attractive.Yup, Duff and Phelps to blame because people didn't want to buy Rangers.

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 maybe the potential to get forest to the premiership was bigger than getting us from the 3rd divsion.....just a wild stab in the dark... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philiprfc 1,799 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, they have a decent history themselves.Plus, a bit of investment could see them into the premiership. It's all an ego trip for these guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brubear 2,953 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Plain and simple, with NF they can invest their way into the English Premiership. Despite all the noises this is still pie in the sky for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the premiership.you do appear a little off the pace pal. you do know SKY and other sponsors are throwing millions at the Premiership don't you?if the arabs can get Forest there they won't need 30,000 fans (but they'll get that anyway) & they will probably make more money than they would from any club in Scotland.it's all 'if's' & 'but's' though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 91 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 But we are not even in the championship...Money in England not Scotland.. Arabs plunging cash in means we need to be in group stages every season of the CL Being a Scottish club reliant on Europe money is partly how we are in this mess Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the premiership.Yes but with a bit of investment they could well be in the premiership and making shedloads of cash. Have you heard of Man City? Man City who were in league 1 a few years ago?Like it or lump it, Rangers cannot even dream about making the profits any English club potentially could. It simply is not a good investment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they even try and sell our club to the money men in the middle east.Forest have a chance to play in the EPL and they will get a slice of the new £3.1 billion t.v deal and also hundreds of millions in sponsership income.Rangers play in a backwater that is so dumb it has voted to reduce it's own income by about 60%.Not hard to see why no mega rich arab would put any money into Scottish football.

Our club is much bigger.Would you buy a Team that Plays Football in a Country like Scotland that has become a Backwater of World Football. In a Poor League, and with no Appeal they aren't, and wont be interested with Scottish Football for obvious Reasons .Not with an Association such as the SFA. They have ruined Scottish Football with their Lack of Leadership, and ability to assist one of its senior Members .No wonder they are not Interested .No one will Invest in Scottish Football.

Not even the premiership.You do realise that the bottom club in the championship earns 5 times more than the spl winners from tv revenue; the earning potential of championship clubs and the possibility of promotion with a reasonable outlay is the reason for all these foreign owners buying clubs in that league.
