kevinthomson8 0 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 found this on another board but I can't find a proper link to the article. I have searched the AFR website but I think a lot of the stories are member only. Has anyone heard anything about this or is it silly season? Australian Financial Review Media moghul Jamie Packer(pictured right) allegedly has his eye on investing in a British soccer club.Scottish giants Rangers F.c from Glasgow are reported to be his target It is believed he will invest with a South African consortium with Packer being the major share holder should the venture go ahead.The main drawcard for the fairfax heir will be the chance to build a string of casinos in the U.K and on the European continent with the sporting investment being a sideline investment. Packer,who like his late father has a love for sport and gambling would be following his fathers ambitions of investing in sport.Indeed it was the late Kerry Packer who handed N.R.L club Sydney Roosters $80 million dollars to buy a side capable of winning the championship in the ninties and they achieved that within there first year of his investment.However the shennigans with salary caps was enough to scare Packer senior away from the N.R.L,a problem that does not exist in the European soccer front. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I thought according to KT8 a couple of months ago, that we were definitely going to have new owners within days? He had some top Ibrox insider tell him, so surely that must have gone through by now? Are the new owners selling the club again already? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
