Footballfirst Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) 8 minutes ago, sadj said: Makes sense lol , ahhh here was me thinking they’d passed the banter baton to Celtic too It was the RIFC AGM yesterday. One of the takeaways from that was the Board distancing themselves from the Dave King / Club 1872 share sale and purchase agreement. Club 1872 had been invited to participate in some of the share issues earlier this year but declined to do so. That could be because they didn't have the funds available, or that they were advised not to do so by someone. Dave King? Club 1872 was also assured on fan ownership that the club is already 95% owned by fans, which I think is a fair observation. They were encourage to put their funds directly into the club and not into the hands of anyone else, such as Dave King.

Riccarton3 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 On 12/12/2020 at 07:08, JFK-1 said: Predictions of financial meltdown for Rangers are straight out of the Celtic fantasy pool. They have been going into liquidation "next quarter" for years now. It's not going to happen. They are running at a loss but owe money to no one but directors who aren't in it to make money. You might consider them fans. Does a Hearts fan expect a financial return on his investment when he puts money into Hearts through any means such as simply buying a season ticket. Of course he doesn't, all he expects is a return through success on the field. These guys at Rangers are exactly the same and while they can't maintain the current situation indefinitely it's certainly beginning to pay dividends right now. They're ripping it up in the EL plus looking good for a league title and a crack at the CL. If they can make that CL group stage which I doubt too many professional gamblers would bet against right now mission accomplished. They will earn a minimum £50 million or so and move on to an even financial footing. And all that's aside from the huge investments they have on the field such as Kent, Morelos, Barisic, Tavernier, Aribo and more some of whom will be cashed in for big money at some point. But I doubt that will happen before the mission accomplished point. One liquidation is enough for me. Two would be greedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ignored the person I believe to be ultimately responsible, David Murray. It was indeed - a hell for leather investigation to seek a scapegoat or scapegoats. The whole legal shenanigans needs to be investigated really to see if there was any criminality in the manner in which all of this was done. It won’t happen of course because the trail would inevitably lead to the higher reaches of the Crown Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
