    They need a cash injection of at least £100m to be in the same financial position as Celtic. Did David Murray not have a series of rights issues that he ended up having to underwrite himself.

    Daily record saying they're about to become part of the US led 49ers group.

    Guess brand image isn't a concern for the yanks anymore.

    Can’t help but feel the timing of this story is very convenient.

    Large share issues, manager in deep trouble, miles behind Celtic in and off the field……but here comes the American billionaires to make us super rich…..but first buy the shares you gullible hordes.

    Although as I’m typing this, maybe the share issue is for the Americans?? Hope not

    Yes, it says talks are at an ‘advanced stage’. Time will tell if the takeover gets completed and what its consequences might be. They need to do something, in order to compete for the title, as their current financial state isn’t good at all.

    I hope the deal promises to be superb for them…..then falls through.

    The shares have already been issued. £360k.

    What's not clear is whether that's cash, or conversion of loans.

    I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been US interest in a club that qualifies for Europe before now

    Surely they can’t buy Rangers, if they own Leeds

    It's either they're doing what we've done with BKFC or Rangers have a good idea that the rules will be changed for them. Both seem as likely as each other at this point in time.

    In the Leeds situation, they started off with 15%.

    In Rangers case, that would be enough to make them the largest shareholder, which is what the Record article says they are after.

    Back in their liquidation days there was some interest in buying the assets but I seem to recall threats being made by the True Blue fraternity that only owners that suited them would be allowed.

    That might have cooled any moves from any sensible business investors.

    Pretty sure the average hun will welcome Saint Francis's 49ers.

    It's interesting, are times about to change on ownership in Scotland. I doubt the USA invasion will be stopped

    Well they’ve already got a chairman called Paddy. It’s just another small step towards binning their sectarian nonsense… surely 🤭

    Tradishuns, very important to some, except the bit where they voluntarily put the now defunct Glasgow rangers into oblivion.

    BBC article says

    "The prospective owners would acquire more than 50% of the Rangers shares while taking on the debt"

    BBC News - Rangers takeover involving 49ers could be completed by June

    Which if true, presumably paves the way for a Black Knights takeover of Hibs?

    Cheers for that.

    A bit more detail than the DR piece, and probably more reliable.

    Would that be the SFA changing the rules to suit Rangers?

    Dod we get a rule change for our investment?

    If not, it seems mental to me they’d openly change the rules for the huns.

    I'm interested in the unnamed investor... for if the rules do not get changed then this person is key

    My first reaction when I read this yesterday was that it was another bout of pre-season ticket sales guff. Hopefully it is, I want to see those ***** bankrupt and gone in my lifetime.

  26. #44755
    If the report I read is correct the Yanks will buy shares from existing shareholders. While this may trigger a run for the door by a few relieved people it’ll give Rangers zilch.

    Guess I'll not be spending any money going to see the 49ers next time I'm out in the Bay Area next time I'm out that way with work then!
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    Looking at it impartially I can see why they'd be a club someone with cash is looking to buy. They have guaranteed crowds of 50k every week and an easy route into atleast the Europa league every year.

    They have one real competitor (albeit one that is significantly better and bigger than them and have been for the best part of 20 years).

    Yup buy a few shares, loan some money, expect it back, like Rangers have been doing for years is provaly the reality if theres any truth in it at all.
