The Gers recently signed a retail agreement with Ashleyâ??s Sports Direct firm, with the businessman also hoping to secure a separate deal giving him a shareholding in the SFL club. Green last week launched a £20million share issue scheme for fans and is also wants to attract institutional investors. â??Weâ??ve been trying to get the position clear where Mike can buy shares in Rangers,â? said Green. â??Clearance has been received from the Football League. â??Heâ??s obviously keen to invest and Iâ??m sure that will get completed in the next few days. â??It was made clear to the Football League that it would be single-digit per centages. Thereâ??s lots of things that we want to do with Sports Direct. Mikeâ??s very influential.â? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plgsarmy 111 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So if this is to be done over the next few days does this mean he'll get the same deal as the other investors, i.e. get shares for 50p while the plebs have to wait for the IPO and pay £1 - £1.50? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,247 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 If he brings Rangersmillions through his company then I dont see what the problem with it is at all . The sooner we are run like a proper business and start making serious profits that are reinvested into the players on the pitch the better . One question I do have , is are these new shares going to pay a dividend , i sincerely hope not , but fear otherwise 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question I do have , is are these new shares going to pay a dividend , i sincerely hope not , but fear otherwise I totally agree about us being run as a business but alarm bells start ringing for me when I see people coming in with a potential conflict of interest i.e. Craig Mather, Mike Ashley etc. I hope I'm wrong 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
