If the four interims haven't passed their exams does The Fifth Man have to do the Fenerbache game on his own.
Didn't Hearts have that same issue when Naebadges was in charge but McAvoy (spelling?) was officially the coach for Euro games? Wonder if he'll get canned as soon as they are knocked out?Quote:

He is.Quote:

49ers agree take-over deal at Ibrox
After months of negotiation, 49ers Enterprises have finally agreed a take-over deal with Scottish giants Rangers, and will acquire a controlling 51% stake in the Ibrox club. This move underscores the growing trend of American investment in Scottish football, with Dundee, Dundee United, Hibernian and Aberdeen among others already attracting US capital.
Rangers, a club steeped in history and boasting a 50,000-seater stadium, offers access to the fierce Old Firm derby against Celtic, a fixture with global appeal. Crucially, Rangers' established dominance in Scotland, alongside Celtic, almost guarantees European qualification, including the lucrative Champions League pathway.
However, the takeover isn't without potential complications, particularly concerning 49ers Enterprises’ existing ownership of Leeds United. Scottish Football Association (SFA) rules, designed to protect the integrity of competitions, restrict individuals from holding controlling stakes in multiple clubs simultaneously. Article 13 of SFA regulations could pose a hurdle, potentially requiring special dispensation for the deal to proceed given the shared ownership with Leeds.
The coming months will reveal how this ambitious deal progresses and its impact on both Rangers and, indirectly, Leeds United. With Premier League football all but guaranteed next season, the 49ers have two options. Flip the club for a quick profit, or be in it for the long haul! The latter, although financially more lucrative, will involve a long term project and massive investment to stabilise the club - with no guarantee of success.

Went back to the first page of this and funnily enough stv links are broken. Trying to erase it from history.
Sky sports links still work though. Brought a smile to my face
That’s right. Think they said it’ll be reviewed on a case by case basis. So;Quote:

Still can't quite get my head around this whole deal. Why would a group sell Leeds who are (probably) going to get promoted to the EPL and the financial riches that comes with that, then take over Sevco who have large debts, a crumbling stadium, and play in a league that financially has chump change on offer in comparison to the EPL. I'm not seeing the attraction myself.Quote:

i agree :agree: 49ers set aside £10m a few months back for surveyor/Architect fees etc on the planned extension of Elland Road, or maybe they're setting everything up for RB, but like you i just can't understand why they would be willing to miss out on all the riches from the league of milk & honey.Quote:

I think I can see it.Quote:

Leeds have a huge potential now that promotion looks likely. The 49ers can cash in on that, and probably make a decent profit. Waiting for a couple of years might diminish that potential.
Rangers are poor value just now, but have potential. Perhaps the 49ers see ways of maximising that, and making a decent profit along the lines of Fergus McCann at Celtic.
Mmm, but why does that read like the 51% ownership of Sevco has already been agreed without a "but only if Leeds are promoted". i'll need to try find out who wrote that articleQuote:
