alexscottislegend 2,064 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Looks interesting! The only problem for me.......and it's a HUGE problem that's been running through my head constantly since I heard of this guy is................how the feck do you pronounce Ng????? ;-)"Eng.." as in 'ing' not 'engine'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 hahaha "Ning" or "Nig" depends Just as well that's only the pronunciation and not the spelling. Nig and Gers could lead to some problems for the tabloid sub-editors! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 You do wonder whether any other remaining bidder will actually do a "Murray" and try to take Ticketus out of the CVA equation too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's definitely pronounced as 'ing'... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feeling about the Sg bid is they'll tear up the tickitus deal and say,"see you in court" They're lovely people by nature but are ruthless, even cruel when the need arise Trust me on that one 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Generally it's an interesting piece from a Singaporean perspective. It appears information on Bill Ng is starting to trickle out though. Apparently, he has been in the stockbroking business for many years, and now owns his own private equity firm. There have been various unconfirmed reports of his net worth, with some estimating it to be in the billions. His family are certainly well off (see Forbes list of 2011). As with all bids though, it's difficult to analyse them all that well until the finer detail is known. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my mate who lives in Singapore who's a successful businessman in Singapore is on a weekend bender in Pattaya!!!! But he did say that this family are well thought of in the Singapore community and have serious assets and cash 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Bill Ng’s current involvement with Hougang United see’s him showing minimal interest, with the club currently having no sponsors and no long-term plans. The people in charge of selling Rangers FC need to ask themselves what could this Singapore consortium bring to the club when one of its members currently doesn’t show an interest in one of his own teams? From what appears to be an ex-pat blogger living in Singapore. Much of his article is without substance, although the above does maybe show the need for caution. http://www.justsports.com.sg/2012/04/06/buying-rangers-could-be-a-step-backwards-for-singapore/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=buying-rangers-could-be-a-step-backwards-for-singapore Edited April 6, 2012 by caseyjones Link. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be the main financier ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 When changing the club name to Hougang United, he also changed the mascot from a dolphin to Chester The Cheetah. Broxi beware!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
