More questions than answers....yet again

[Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0]

I've been a wee bit busy over the last few days and I've just managed to catch up with some of todays developments. Here's where I am so can anyone fill in the gaps or offer their tuppence worth??

 

In principal we apparently have new ownership of our club. The name heading the consortium is Charles Green, who seems to have recieved a mixed reaction from what I've read from fans and media alike. Other names that I've read that are said to be involved are Joe Lewis and Freddie Shepherd. Have any of these other names been confirmed?

 

The interview with C. Green states that there are 20 parties involved in this consortium and no-one will have more than 15% of a stake. Does the amount of bodies (as well as the geographical spread of the group) worry anyone?

 

When I read of Asian and Middle East involvment, first of all I have major reservations as I immediately think "why would these guys get involved with Rangers?" Everybody and their aunty knows there is zero cash in Scottish Football so what are their motives? Secondly, I also think of the mess at Portsmouth when I hear about foriegn investors with zero connection with the club

 

Ultimately I genuinely take anything that happens with Rangers with a bucket of salt until we have a decent balance sheet and healthy and competitive squad. Green promised much during this interview but IMO we've been down this road before.

 

To quote Johhny Nash, it's more questions than answers for this fan

He will not confirm any other names until the CVA is cleared. He did hint that Shepherd was not true.

It might well be 100% accurate, but I have severe difficulty in watching or listening to anything that the Pacific Quay CSC put out. They are completely dominated by producers who follow..ahem...'teams other than Rangers'...that their product is contaminated at source.

With regards to the Asians being interested when there is no money in Scottish football, you're right, there's none. These will, presumably be people that will be experts in these continents & may well see an opportunity to use the Rangers brand & expand into a community that, at the minute, doesn't have a large football/soccer market.
