Frankie 8,183 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 FF's Shug just had his informers texting this ... Well, well ... All along people have made the point that Whyte lacks the finance to fund the ongoing investment stipulation. IMO and it is only in my opinion I believe the issue is that Whyte (and any other bidder be it via a MBO or another external party) may be after the same financial backers. Thus, I think the problem we may have is that these people don't know which horse to back so keep changing their mind. No matter the whole thing is a shambles and no-one is coming out of this with much credit as long as the supporters are left to speculate on deliberately fed tit-bits. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRIANMC1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Suck did say the deal was 'done at �£50mil' and put in front of board to be 'rubber stamped' 2 weeks ago so you will excuse my scepticism. To me a lot of people are doing their best columbo impression and coming up with scenarios. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me a lot of people are doing their best columbo impression and coming up with scenarios. The deal was supposedly agreed in principle with MIH over a month ago. The problem has always been that Whyte has allegedly struggled to provide for the ongoing investment deemed necessary by the seller. It seemed that had been given over the weekend which prompted some excitement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRIANMC1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 So why did AJ come out all full of praise after 'meeting' week before last? It makes no sense..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,286 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Well David Leggat has people whispering into his ear about Plan Bs and also talks some sense with regard to the committee's actions. They, ahead of all other parties involved, will surely have Rangers at heart when evaluating the deal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudrup11 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Frankie What is your view on it now ? do you feel this deal is now dead or do you suspect some other twist ? another season of downsizing and cost cutting will hurt us, we won't compete after losing the likes of Davis and Bougherra and possibly McGregor in summer which IMHO is extremely likely with no takeover. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 another season of downsizing and cost cutting will hurt us, we won't compete after losing the likes of Davis and Bougherra and possibly McGregor in summer which IMHO is extremely likely with no takeover. I agree that we can't afford another year of penny pinching. We've actually been kind of lucky with the downsizing as we've still won championships and trophies and had a couple of runs in Europe but our luck will surely run out in the face of ever increasing obstacles with an ever decreasing quality of squad. Now is such a good time for us to get back on a financial footing and be on a level financial playing field to Celtic. We've survived the belt tightening for as long as we dare so the takeover would prevent us sustaining any real, permanent damage. Celtic have shown you can sink pretty low and still bounce back strongly, but all Rangers fans will hope we don't have to go there and there is still the risk you will take a fantastically long time to recover - just look at Leeds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't think it is dead. I believe we are seeing two interested parties playing out their attempt to buy the club via media spin. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the current takeover panel be deemed impartial if some or all are involved with a rival bid? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know - see my ethics question earlier this morning when reviewing last night's news. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
