WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Craig (wealth off the radar) Whyte is still keeping us entertained. http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/craig-whyte-in-housekeeper-poison-threat-claim-1-3153337 If a housekeeper can sus him out as a con merchant, why did the Rangers 'legends' not see through his lies? Well, according to Jack Irvine, at least one of them is "just thick". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That's a big no-no! Always up for recycling gags from the good old days of the BRALT, me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Nation Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Nope .. Ayebrokes will be purchased and the stadium leased back to them ... i.e.rented. The problem with the sale-and-leaseback idea is that no potential buyer will pay more than the market value. As has been pointed out many times on this thread, Ibrox is worth very little except as a football stadium. It changed hands in 2012 for a mere £5.5 million as part of a rag-bag of other assets. Any buyer would need to be confident that - in the event of Sevco going bust - he could either sell it and get his money back, or find an alternative tenant. So what's the most Sevco could get on sale-and-leaseback? £4 million on a good day? I suppose that would keep them going to the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagyar Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 So, what we saying? Unless saviour, angelic, whiter than Whyte??? King bankrolls them, they are FOOKED!! No matter how you slice it up, they are FOOKED. Leaseback wouldn't get them enough to finance their return to the Champions League? Looking like they are FOOKED, or at best a middling diddy club!! Splendid!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the company leases it to the club at an over inflated value? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Is there a way around it all and King buys the stadium for leaseback and the PR men sell it to the fans that its being owned by a "good rangers man" ... 20 million he could buy it for at a penny a month rent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Don't know if it's been mentioned but the Ibrox AGM is lined up for 3rd week in December. Anticipating lots of seasonal jokes. ETA I sometimes see a member 'reading this topic' called Bing (1). However I can't find him in the members list. How does that work? Are there any others that don't show up? (Nothing against Bing (1) btw, just curious.) Edited October 24, 2013 by cyderspaceman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, but not for Sevco. If a "good Rangers man" buys the stadium, then at least when Sevco next go into administration the stadium will be out of the reach of the creditors. Since there are few other assets, the creditors will then accept any offer for Sevco from the "good Rangers man" which will give them a few pence in the pound. There will be no other potential buyers, since they'd face the prospect of paying the "good Rangers man" an extortionate rent. This will leave the "good Rangers man" as the sole owner of Rangers - company, stadium, team, club (whatever that is), history .... But surely no "good Rangers man" could be that devious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ticketus will get the returns on their investment one way or another .... This. This is exactly what its all about. Quite right too, the orcs are far too stupid to realise that this is the true meaning of back where it belongs. Ticketus and their investors couldn't care less how its achieved but that £26m will be recouped on way or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Nation Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 One problem with that plan is that when it becomes 'obvious' their lines of credit are going to dry up quicker than a flash flood in the Sahara as every creditor seeks to ensure that they have limited liability. That's not a problem - it just means the plan comes to fruition earlier . A "good Rangers man" could be in control long before this season's out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottxs Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Has Dave king jetted in yet as the sun suggested? How did the blue knight meeting go with the fans groups.
