Robert Sarver , is the face behind the bid of Levante. He has been told the Cadena SER the American investor and one of its partners have made ​​an offer of 56 million euros per package of shareholder control granota club and belongs to the Foundation.

Born in 1961 in Tucson, Arizona. He owns the franchise of the NBA Phoenix Suns since 2004 and also owns the franchise women's team Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA.

It is a reputed banker from a young age. In 1982 he founded the National Bank of Arizona . In 1995 it acquired Grossmont Bank and is currently the CEO of Western Alliance Bank

It is a sports fan and has spent several years trying to buy a football club in Europe. In fact, in January 2015, Robert Sarver got to offer 20 million pounds for the Scottish Rangers but his proposal was rejected.

Was he not linked with us before?

Don't think so mate.

I may well be wrong, but you might be thinking of Scot Gardiner when he was at Dundee ??

Does this suggest Cashley controls more shares than he has?

I don't think so mate.

I make it that it works out about 29% of the total shareholding that voted for the resolution.

We know that Ashley has 9% and I think the Easdale block had around 20% at the EGM - so by my calculations, it would only have been them that voted for it.

I've very little knowledge of his past success or how Brentford played etc, but I am getting a very good impression of him.

From the interviews so far, he comes across as VERY professional & articulate - I don't think he'll take ANY shit from the players.

 

The same goes for the way the Board have behaved recent;y. All in, I am getting a very professional feeling again from the club - certainly much less of a media circus!!!!

I hate going on about "i know this player" etc. But I do know a player who has played under Warburton for the past season at Brentford. This guy has been a pro for 15 years and played under a number of Pemier League and Championship managers.

I can't empahasis how highly Warburton is rated and respected. And if anyone wants to go down the 'he's inexperienced' route then that just falls by the wayside. The player I know rates him higher than most, if not all managers he has played under and there were absolutely no differences in 'inexperience' which he came across with Warburton. The player is just gutted he only got to work with him for one season.

We should be massively happy with Warburton and feel genuine excitement with him at the helm.

The players are in a for a big shock - a positive one - and they will love working under him and Weir.

I've been thinking who Warburton looks like and it hit me last night - is it just me or does anyone see a resemblence to Russ Abbot ??

Warburton is going to be far too intelligent for these scummy Scottish hacks. They will struggle to get the better of him - which is nice !!

I was told the other day that the first round of the diddy cup is on 25th July, which is only 40 days and 40 nights away. I think Warburton will need every minute of this time to be ready, which seems a task of biblical proportions.

I'm sure it's all in hand. These guys know what they are doing and I'm sure work is well underway. I'm sure the planning started a few weeks ago.

It's no real secret that Lewis hasn't settled particularly well in London - also backed up by a player I know who has just left Brentford. He wasn't creating a fuss, but just hasn't adjusted to life in the London area and is 'missing home'. It hasn't helped with his injury and not playing but I'm not sure how much longer McLeod will be at Brentford for. Who knows, he may get a second wind and get a pre-season under his belt and kick on with them next season. But I'm not too sure.

The players at the club won't know what's hit them - in a positive way.

Big, big changes ahead.

He is going to revolutionise our footballing side.

I can't wait !!!

Experience of what? McCall had quite a bit more experience than McInnes and look where that got us. Both McCall and McInnes have similar track records of bombing in England and looking fairly decent in a very poor league.

 

Warburton was a huge success in a decent league, the other two failed miserably. End of story.

It's also hugely relevant and important to note what Warburton did in his build up for approx 10 years befor his Brentford days. Lots of ground work, research, time spent analysing other clubs in Europe, developng the NextGen series, heading up Watford Academy etc. etc.

GLASGOW RANGERS BE INVITED TO THE TROPHY COSTA DEL SOL

Malaga has advanced negotiations for the Scottish Glasgow Rangers is the rival of the white team in the presentation of the 15/16 season.

After shaking the post league with institutional problems by the resignation of former vice president Moayad Shatat and refusal to sell the club by the Al Thani, Malaga returns to the normal channels of summer. The sports planning begins to map and although nothing is confirmed, rival to the traditional thirty-first edition of the Trofeo Costa del Sol would: Glasgow Rangers.

The Scots are the leading candidates and the negotiations would be "very advanced", as Diario Sur appointment. The party that serves as an introduction to the malaguistas ahead of next season on Wednesday August 5 be disputed, with time to be confirmed. In the latest edition of the Costa del Sol, the opponent was JoaquÃ*n to defeat Fiorentina 0-2 with goals from Rossi and Gonzalo Rodriguez.

The team led by Stuart McCall has finished in third place in the Scottish Championship, Scotland's second division, 24 points behind champions Hearts. There have resonant names and are still in the middle stage of restructuring have been punished with relegation to the fourth category due to financial problems in which was immersed the club.

Moreover, following the suspension of the trip to Dallas, a new range of possibilities in the coming days should be confirmed opens. BenahavÃ*s would be planned as a working basis of the preseason and gaining strength the possibility of a trip to Germany to play two games against Karlsruhe and Freiburg. In addition it is considering the possibility of Malaga make a tour of South America in the framework of the World Challenge League.

And light years apart in terms of experience

In terms of coaching, studying methods, building innovative structures, developing youth, providing technical guidance and taking a small club to a high position in the English league - yes Warburton is light years ahead of McInnes in terms of experience

You should have said.

Sorry mate - I've mentioned it recently in previous threads mate.

The player can't speak highliy enough of Warburton - and this player (coming to end of his career) has played in Championship and Premier League teams in England for the past 15 years or so. Says he is the best manager he has worked under and wishes he had worked with him more than he did.

McInnes is simply not capable of doing the job that Warburton is going to embark on.

They are light years apart in terms of vision, planning, organisation, structure and future performance.

On Paper, Warburton/Weir look like a good bet....

 

How many folk on here had actually watched Brentford, BEFORE they were linked to the RFC job???

I had - as I know one of their players who signed for them on a 1 year contract last summer, purely to work with Warburton. Very pleasing on the eye.

I honestly think the guy is England manager material at some point.

He has the intelligence, charisma, dedication and inspirational personality to do the job.

In short - a breath of fresh air to the football world and someone who is extremely capable. Players love him, fans love him.

Very, very glad to have him at our club.

Young Brenford defender Alfie Mawson being linked. Was player of the season on loan at Wycombe last season.

I remember watching him in the play offs for Wycombe and he was a bit of a stand out for them. Looked really solid.

Hope the young players at the club realise just how big an opportunity this is for them. The likes of Murdoch, Hardie and Walsh must grab this opportunity with both hands.

 

Really excited to see how these players develop under Warburton and Weir.

And maybe another - possibly final - chance for Barrie McKay ?? There is a player in there. Maybe Warburton is the man to help the lad develop and progress in the first team. Pace to burn and great vision for a pass.

As long as we can see improvement/progress in areas such as fitness, attitude, footballing intelligence, use of younger players, team cohesion, professionalism, pace and technique I will be happy.

And I am confident this will all be delivered by the new manager.

The first question he has already been asked was ''why pick Rangers?'',answer''because Rangers are a fantastic club''

good start then !

I'm sure Weir will have briefed him on the level (very poor) of 'journalism' in Scotland.

This guy is no fool and the mhedia will hopefully be in for a bit of a shock to their system.

It's going to be interesting to see how the Scottish media are able to cope with a football manager who is actually very intelligent. Will be a bit of a novelty for them and I think they will struggle badly !!!

None of the other candidates interested me in the slightest.

I'm glad we've got who we have.

First managerial appointment I've been genuinely excited about since Advocaat.

We're on a Roll now, pun intended.

Dough !!!!!

McCall was no more than a ginger Ally.
