Zappa 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 These types of rumours have been doing the rounds for months. One minute it's Souness & a small consortium, next minute it's Souness, Dougie Park & 2 Canadians, now it's Dougie Park & an N. Irishman you say?? I'm waiting to hear the one about ManU or Chelski buying us as a feeder club. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie Park would look upon buying into a club like ours as a major source of coach contracts. It's not like he can't send some minions out to get the contracts anyway, but if he was owner or part owner of the club, he'd have the opportunity of excellent lines of communication with the supporter's clubs. Park's group would undoubtedly get all the vehicle leasing & company car contracts as well. mmmm. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not nearly as convinced as you that any club-related contracts would be lucrative enough to make it an interesting deal to him. If he is buying into the club I doubt that potential new contracts would play much of a factor to be honest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how someone like Douglas Park would make some money out of our club. Ok, so he might get involved for other reasons, but he's more than likely going to see business opportunity rather than status/fame, even if it was just the factor of advertisement for the Parks group. Having said that, that's also the main thing that makes me think Douglas Park wouldn't buy into Rangers; the fact that he'd be alienating his companies from the other side of the old firm. It could have as much of a damaging effect to him as beneficial. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly think that he would be looking to pump millions upon millions into the club in the hopes that he gets some club-related contracts ? If he does then he would be foolish, in my humble opinion obviously. His millions would be better spent elsewhere if he is looking to increase the revenues of his coach business. Some people are in football not for fame, not for status, not even for business opportunity (at least not to improve the business of the entity that has given the opportunity to buy a football club) but for the love of the club. I am not saying this is Douglas Park but you never know. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
