will_1974 204 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 All the people involved at the moment have been involved with ticketus before. First of all Octopus Investments are the parent company of Ticketus.. Octopus are investors in the company Zeus Capital. Imran Ahmed founded and was Chief Executive of a company Allenby Capital Limited. Brian Stockbridge worked as a nominated adviser at Allenby Capital. Allenby Capital were brokers and advisers for Octopus on numerous occasions in different business transactions. On January 2012 Brian Stockbridge joined Zeus Capital and in April 2012 Imran Ahmed also joined Zeus Capital. On the 14th of June Charles Green bought the assets of Rangers and installs these two guys to help run Sevco. Zeus Capital worked with Charles Green when he was at Sheffield United. Zeus worked with Charles Green when he disposed of Sports Management company, Gresham PE. Now Formation Group.. Remembering that Octopus are financial backers of Zeus Capital and Zeus are nominated advisers and brokers for Octopus there is only one man for the job. Charles Green. And the job is? Getting the Ticketus money back.. Is this what John Brown is shouting about Ticketus still being involved? And you can bet any money you have that the Scottish del boy will be lurking about in the background somewhere. Eureka! I think you have solved the puzzle, wait a minute, you are talking pants.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 You might not agree with what Bomber has said this week or the way he has conducted himself however are you forgetting this man gave everything to the club? He has achieved more for rangers and done more for rangers than you ever will so your cheap digs smack of nothing but sour grapes.I bet i've put more money into the club than he has.

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah Whyte stung ticketus for £27.5 million and now they've spent more money buying and running the club to put Whyte in control behind the scenes.Absolute fucking nonsense.I didn't see whyte mentioned in the OP, however, if the OP is correct then that is quite a massive worry. We could be just about to buy season tickets to pay back ticketus. Either way, if thats the way things are then we need to pay them. I would't urge not buying tickets though, but maybe this stash of cash we hope we'll have for our return to the spl wont be much of a stash.

Just because Brown doesn't come across aswell as some smug money grabbing business men doesn't mean he doesn't have a clue. Did everyone think ticketus had just given up and walked away?I don't think anybody really does, but what would you have us all do? Refuse to buy season tickets at a time when the club is at its most fragile? Would you rather we had no money to even compete in a season in Division 3? This is all very complicated and could pull in so many directions, but in the short term having a team on the park in 2 weeks is the main priority in my opinion. The alternative doesn't even bear thinking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Its maybe true what you say about bomber, but do you think Ticketus have just sloped away into the night with the vain hope of whyte paying them back? I see plenty of people slagging bomber, and rightly so in some cases, but there's still a lot of skullduggery going on. Proving it, is another matter ofc.Maybe so but I dont trust Green any more than the other two colours.Both are fair points. No-one should trust Green unreservedly - we must all be wary of his intentions. And Ticketus might still be in the background for all any of us know. But the way to deal with the situation is not to make unsubstantiated allegations about Green and then fail to back up any of it for weeks. Brown has so far done more harm than good.

jimmy98 17 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If what the OP posted is true it is a very valid piece if information which may well explain why D&P sold to Green and raises some worthwhile concerns. It would mean ticketus have positioned themselves, behind the scenes, to recover their investment at the expense of the other creditors. May also explain why D&P structured the sale in a manner that allowed players with transfer value to walk out of the door instead of being sold off for the creditors pot. Alarm bells should be ringing. If true its the sort of thing the press should have been all over, but typically haven't been because real investigative journalism has been woefully lacking throughout this saga - except where the opportunity to attack us has been present.Can't understand the criticism of bomber on here. He may not be the most articulate fellow, but he is doing his best for the club which is more then most. People need to open their eyes. Why wouldn't Charles green have named all of his investors by now? I personally don't want a delay in renewing season tickets because we need to keep the club afloat. But if green really is the front man for a deal to get ticketus their money back, and if D&P have been working towards this end rather then seeking the best bid for the club and creditors, then people shouldn't turn a blind eye to it. Blind faith is what let Whyte in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Could also explain why Green appeared out of nowhere at the last minute.

Blind faith is what let Whyte in.He has named them as far as im aware. Its "us", or in bombers words "aw yous". Green and bomber both have the same business plan, and it involves us buying books and then shelling out more for shares. The only difference between them both, is that green got the keys for 6 million courtesy of d&p. That 6 milllion plus whatever they have payed out will come back in the first week of book sales. There is no other investors coming with lump sums, not that i can see. If McColl says it will be a few really hard seasons with the dough that hes got, why do we think green an co can make a nice wee profit? The only way they can make money is by destroying the wage bill, cutting costs, and getting out of dodge. All this pish you hear about them making Rangers successful to make a profit is a fairytale spun by green. There is no profit in Rangers at the moment and there wont be until champions league time again, and to get that we wait 3 years and spend big dough. Not greens plan. So what is his plan? The 27 million dollar question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
