Close enough. It's 85.6082% through Murray International Holdings Limited, Murray Group Holdings Limited, Murray MHL Limited, Dunwilco 172 Limited and David Murray Holdings Limited. I suppose it could be argued that whether Whyte can take us private or not rests in Dave Kings hands as I honestly can't see the 26,400 small shareholders parting with theirs, personally no offer could make me part with mine.

I doubt they've even considered that possibility going by their conspicuous silence.

Not if Whyte manages to take us 'private' though.

Every pound that Whyte takes out of Rangers is a pound less spent on Rangers, it's that simple. Venture or perhaps Vulture Capitalists by their very nature chase the quick buck they don't tend to stick around for the long term. In a couple of weeks time you may find the current buzzwords going around Ibrox at the moment namely unmitigated and disaster filling a fair few column inches and coming through the airwaves.

Do you know if Mr Whyte's plan merits the approval of Adam Smith. I'd rather be run by someone desperate for Rangers to prosper as opposed to by someone desperate to make money out of us.

A Bear who couldn't even recognise or name our players!

I concur. People are confusingly thinking that paying off LBG makes us debt free, when it's merely shifting the debt from one source to another.

Pity he plays on the left !

I'd be worried for our future if Craig Whyte gets his hands on us.

An opportunity to ask Whyte some pertinent questions would be welcome too, no ?

So why the all the cheer-leading for the bid that's best for Murray best for LBG and which threatens the very existence of Rangers.

I'm going, but if it's updates or tweets during the meeting then sorry no can do I'm afraid.

They initially cited Build my Gallows but accepted the clubs submission that it was in no way sectarian, but the club could do nothing to defend itself when faced with documented evidence of the "Fuck the Pope" add ons and the use of the word Fenian, that fact and the possibility of increased sanctions if any appeal should fail will probably mean that the club will decline the opportunity to appeal. The club are deeply concerned about the manner of the prosecution of this matter particularly the Kafkaesque nature of the anonymity of the accuser/witness and are pushing for the identity to be revealed, but are aware of fact that the likely suspect has already been outed. I like to think it's by democratic right in a free society to sing what I want where I want and when I want it but that is tempered by my love of the club and now omit singing anything which will damage the club, there's still a time and a place for singing our songs but that place is not in front of anyone who can use them as a stick to batter us with. The next sanction after closed doors is a total ban from European competition, there is no doubt that those orchestrating the campaign against us namely the sex pesting dope smoking self declared we taig across the city and his acolytes , his posse of compliant journalists (that's journalists in the loosest possible meaning of the word) and all the assorted Rangers haters have the total ban as the destination where they want us to arrive. Let's all wise up and stop supplying them with the ammunition.

As a venture capitalist he (and his backers presumably) will be looking for a substantial return on any capital committed, how he intends to get that return is perhaps the most pertinent question to be asked of him, when all said and done any return can only come out of the fans pockets.

Indeed it is nearer 85% due to the recent untangling of Murray Sports. It's a very significant point if Whyte wants to take the club private he needs 90% of the shares before he can compulsory purchase the balance (IIRC).

The cost of having to build new roofs over three stands negated the value of additional seating. The original plan was to have more seating but the need to support roofs meant large pillars were required rendering a large proportion of the additional seating having restricted views. Whilst the screens have been crap for years it must be remembered that when the were initially installed they were state of the art and actually made good money for the club by renting them out to Wimbledon, cricket test matches, T in the Park et al.

I hope the standard of refreshment on offer greatly increases but alas if it does the price will probably too. The present standard in the West Enclosure is particularly grim and availability tends to be poor.

Pleasure .

Paul Murray is in Dubai at the moment.

Just means the end of Murray Sports Limited freeing them from a substantial liability due to MIH ergo removing one of numerous obstacles to a takeover. Dave Kings shareholding now held outwith Murray Sports.

Hope it is Hugh Hendry and not Hugh Henry
