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.

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

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

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

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

DR usually crap “major cash injection which would then fund a spending splurge in the summer”
“War chest” and “financial money men” and next no doubt🤣🤣🤣

"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?21.05.2016

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

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.

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.

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).
