But nows the time we need to know and see what can be done not before it's too late

Agreed bud, we stuck our heads in the sand for way to long last time around.

Wouldn’t have an issue with this.

Always assume there's an ulterior motive when he pops up out the blue, the statements he's made in the last few weeks set alarm bells ringing.

Not gonna lie I'm getting 15 years ago vibes and have been for months

Me too, we honestly seem fucked and unless some arab wants a new play toy I cant see anyone wanting to burn money with investing in us. 

[Bourne2Win 50]

A man that has invested a lot of his own money into the club. Speedy Recovery John.

Seen someone mention money from Asia but want the removal of others first

[STEPPS BOY 77,468]

Best wishes to JB. We have to remember the money that he has put into club.

Firmly believe now that we will be taken over.

Lets hope so but that rumours been around for years with big investment from hong Kong

[DrLaudrup 5,063]

I think investment would surely be conditional on new investors getting their own people on the board. Which is obviously where care is needed.

It’s time mate. These current owners have taken us as far as they can and we are now on a decline.

Removal of who and from where?

The Parks, King etc can be bought out.

The Americans and also Middle East groups see the club as a huge money maker however the Parks and Dave King are the brick walls.

I knew-ish about the Americans (pass) but who are the middle east groups linked?

How many senior positions are now needing filled currently? Unless I'm wrong, no CEO, Director of football or chairman?

You'd assume it's the Parks or King. But you'd assume either they don't want to sell or be willing to sell to people from outside a certain circle

[ayro 3,499]

Hopefully a speedy recovery back to health for JB. 

[psb07158 35,292]

Best wishes to the Bennett family.

I read that Jackie Chan was interested, but if he came in there would be a few people for the chop

The only way The Parks or King disappear is to buy them out or buy a majority of shares which then render theirs meaningless.

Be careful what you wish for. How many English clubs like their foreign owners? Ffp means there will be no cash splurge either. Any new owner will only take it on to try and make money.

[Goofy The Scot 698]

Don't think he did the greatest job as chairman but he's a Rangers man and he put his money where his mouth is - for that i give him thanks. Hope his health issues aren't too serious and he makes a full recovery.

Chance now for a clean slate or is it more of the same?

[KingKirk 26,462]

If money is coming from Asia it's more than likely Stuart Gibson. 

[Bluekev 47,023]

First and foremost best wishes to John Bennett and his family. The last couple of years have been rough for the fans but I do respect the work and money he’s put in.

Hopefully this gives the chance to the remaining board members to look wider for investment rather than thinking of it as an opportunity to boost their egos.

He doesn’t sound very Asian tbh.

It will be a clean slate. We have no chairman, no ceo, no head of academy, think we can see where the manager is heading shortly too. Things are clearly changing hopefully for the better.

We were being run like a back door brother let's be real. Under current ownership and direction we were being set up to be second best for the forceable.

It's not the way anyone would have wanted this to pan out with a health issue being the reason and we can only hope he recovers and it's nothing serious. However we absolutely can't and couldn't go on how we have been.

Don't disagree mate. My concern is had it been someone other than Bennet would we still be floating? Certainly he's a massive part of that problem but I always felt he wouldn't let us get into the same place we were back a few years ago compared to say an American with no love for the club.

King has been trying to get rid of his for years..... with no takers
