ian1964 10,514 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 A MYSTERY American millionaire is among " several" interested individuals and groups ready to rescue Rangers when it emerges from Administration. The Stars and Stripes businessman has been approached in the past to be a potential buyer but baulked at taking on the debts and tax demands to take control at Ibrox. Express/Star sport has learned however that he has now forwarded a " note of interest " to Administrators Duff and Phelps asking to be kept informed about developments. With the long term interest in Rangers of current owner Craig Whyte remaining uncertain Adminstrator Paul Clark yesterday confirmed a number of parties --including at least one consortium -- had already been in contact with a view to buying the club once the financial crisis has been resolved. "As Administrators we have a duty to look at all other expressions of interest in the club. To date we have had several such expressions and these will be examined in the forthcoming days and weeks and I will not comment on them individually As Administrators we have a duty to look at all other expressions of interest in the club Paul Clark "I would like to say that as Administrators we are acutely aware of the 140 year history of Rangers and we are taking the first steps to ensure this great sporting institution will endure." It's thought that any new owner would have to fork out in the region of £25m to secure the stadium, Murray Park training complex and the Albion Car Park. Former Rangers chairman Alastair Johnston who is based in Cleveland, Ohio and has been highly critical of Whyte tried to find a buyer in previous years and helped source a £20m cash injection from Bahamas based billionaire Joe Lewis back in 1997 .But it's not known if he is involved in finding another " white knight " http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/302654 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSport can reveal the Serb, 73, has noted interest in taking over with Gers' administrators. It's a stunning twist in the story that has rocked Scottish football as the current Sheffield Wednesday chairman looks to take over the stricken champions. Mandaric is one of those who have told the administrators now running Gers they want to take over from the Craig Whyte regime. Former Portsmouth and Leicester chief Mandaric has just emerged not guilty from tax evasion charges alongside his close pal and Spurs boss Harry Redknapp. Now he wants to add Gers to the list of clubs he has bossed.
