ian1964 10,416 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 THE consortium planning to buy crisis club Rangers for �£40million were last night warned: You won't get them on the cheap. Motoring tycoon Douglas Park and Ibrox directors Dave King and Paul Murray are poised to buy majority shareholder Sir David Murray's stake in the SPL champions. But last night a source close to the proposed deal said steel magnate Sir David, 58, would not be pressured into selling if he thought it was not in the best interests of the club. Douglas Park Backing ... Douglas Park The insider said: "There's no way David Murray will let the club go at a knockdown price. "His main concern will always be, as he has stated before, that the club ends up in the right hands." Park, 59, has built a personal fortune of around �£50million from his successful Park's of Hamilton motors and coaches chain. Park is a lifelong Gers fan and has been linked to moves for power at Ibrox before. With South African-based financial guru King, 53, and chartered accountant Paul Murray, 45, already on the board as non-executive directors, this could be his chance to seize control. King, who grew up in Glasgow's tough Castlemilk scheme, invested �£20million in the club back in March 2000. Ex-Deutsche Bank executive Paul Murray - no relation to Sir David - won his place on the Gers board two years ago Rangers have estimated debts of �£30million. But the club has assets such as the Murray Park training ground, Ibrox Stadium and star players like Allan McGregor, Madjid Bougherra, Steven Davis and Pedro Mendes. Our source added: "There are assets there. "And there are players who have attracted English Premiership interest in the past and who would do so again in the January transfer window." Amid informed speculation of a possible rival bid from Dubai-based British investors the King consortium's next moves will now be carefully scrutinised. Gers fans have raised fears for the future of their club since manager Walter Smith claimed it was being run by bankers last weekend. However HBOS chiefs denied those allegations in a statement on Monday night. Sir David put the club up for sale after stepping down as chairman in August. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/2702817/You-wont-get-Rangers-on-cheap.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from the man who, almost single-handedly, put us in the position we are in... .........and has studiously kept everyone at bay who ever expressed an interest in buying the club. I don't have the words to express how angry I feel every time I think of the colossal deceit of Murray. How did we ever allow him to do this to Rangers. We also come out of this mess with little to be proud of, having closed our eyes to so much for so long. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
