Frankie 8,151 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Look forward to hearing more tomorrow. The tax issue has been known for a year now so surely if they didn't like what they were hearing there they would have walked away months ago? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
franker 1 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have it on very good authority from a friend of a friend who is close enough to have dinner with Ellis and Whyte that they are currently i.e. as I type this, in talks to finalise the takeover. I should know more tomorrow. Personaly I remain sceptical that any deal could be closed this side of the tax issue being resolved and that the outcome of that small matter might so radically alter the Club's finances as to render it impossible, but you never know. I must admit to being concerned with regards to Whyte and Ellis. I agreed with Alastair Johnson when in his first speech as chairman,he spoke about a new buyer having access to unencumbered wealth.(of a significant amount) I have yet to see any evidence of the duo mentioned meeting that qualification. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 If true, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, have they endorsed Ally as our next manager. If it is so close then surely they'd have given the greenlight? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. They've obviously got a bit of money between them, but it's unclear as to how much and so far I'm extremely doubtful that their combined wealth is sufficient. I bet the Indian chicken farmers who bought Blackburn have a lot more money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineflyer 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's not about how much money the owner has but how much he delivers to the management that isn't based on debt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second part of that sentence contradicts the first part unless you're talking about an owner or owners with a hell of a lot of spare change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbernauldGers 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 You dont need alot to win in the spl with Rangers, we well over spend as it is on wages. It's about getting value for money and selling on players at the right time. Something the current management have no idea about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't. Even in this fucked up world, the notion of earning money isn't altogether dead. Or did we forget that under Murray. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go .... and that's only part of the problem. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
