OFFICIAL Rangers takeover confirmed

[alexscottislegend 2,793]

Forget Covid: our pandemic started in 2012 when we all contracted an incurable case of cynicism. With my political views I should be wary of venture capitalists but we tried Wee Tam and Big Hugh as staunch RFC men in the shape of Club 1872 and see what happened. I am excited; I went to bed last night envisaging a middle 3 of Cameron, Raskin (c) and Modric. Those 3 will ensure that the burden of goalscoring no longer lies solely with Cyriel.

 

You may say I'm a dreamer.....you know the rest.

I can see where you are coming from but like many, probably including yourself, I've agonised over what we needed to.make us into a successful football club.

 

I think we all can agree that the now previous board / investors had taken us as far as they could. They basically admitted as much themselves. 

 

Given that, and with not many other options, this seems the safest gamble (and we had to gamble). They are currently investing in Leeds and most Leeds fans speak positively about them.

 

This is a genuine question from.genuine interest, if not this investment, what would you have liked to happen?

You're absolutely right. We should be wary of them, but we can be wary and excited at the potential of the great unknown. There's not a contradiction in that. 

 

Why not allow ourselves to be excited? Why be pessimistic? It's like every player we sign. I hope he's going to be brilliant for us, and hopefully our new owners will be a well. They won't get everything right but as long as they're moving us in the right direction then that's a positive.

If it’s only £20 million being put in I imagine this will have an effect on any new manager some managers want to spend spend spend so I think the new manager will be someone from nearer home maybe the bloke who was at Southampton 

... I read that as 20m of investment from these new boys. While no-one knows, there is essentially another half of shareholders who might have a few million to spare too. Aside from player sales.

 

That said ... these 20m might not be used for transfers alone (though the  women's team needs a new backline too). We, too, must be clever in our business for the time being, but apart from Americans like these, there are few businessmen on this planet who are cleverer.

Cautiously optimistic about this.

 

They obviously feel there is money to be made here but that will require money being spent and a successful team on the park.

Nice re-tweet from SF49ers even if they did get the red, white & blue in the wrong order 😃

I do not know. So I really need to get on with what we now have.
