I haven't believed the 49ers thing since the story broke. Half a billion confetti shares (and some of those are currently up for sale I believe with no takers) and a dilapidated stadium. If those people have serious money to invest I suspect they'll be looking to England, plenty of teams there with good potential.

Harry has there been any press reports in the states about the 49ers proposed investment in Rangers?

Not that I've seen but honestly there's little or no interest in this region. NFL and Baseball are huge here between the Texans, Cowboys and Astros with the football (soccer ) fraternity being Hispanic for the most part and following the top teams in England plus Real, Barcelona etc etc. I'd love to see some credible news over here that proved it real but I'm not holding my breath waiting.

They will need to change the state name to Tejas then?😁

Will end up with a visit from the CIA if I did that.
When are the Texas Rangers going to be renamed Texas The Rangers.

Well if it’s not real there are a lot of fraudsters pretending to be office bearers in various parts of the 49ers set up giving interviews in the newspapers here.

Maybe it is real, I have no way of knowing. I've just said consistently that I can't imagine why investors would look at a club in Scotland given how broken Sevco are and the prospect of little in return. Maybe they will invest but if they do I suspect it won't be at a level that their half witted support are hoping for.

[Not In The Know]

Absolutely hilarious that the 49rs owners are a huge catholic family.

Most football investment is like that. It never seems to make financial sense. The Gordon’s buying Hibs was like that.

It kinda makes sense to me.

It's about buying something which has the potential to be more valuable than it currently is.

RFC are in a poor state, but have the potential to be something much better. A few seasons in the CL, on the back of player investment, and they will be ripe for selling on at a profit.

Us, perhaps less so. But the logic is there. In turnover terms, we are starting to move in the right direction.

It's risky, of course, as so many things are outwith your control..... bad decisions, player mistakes, dodgy pitches....but the 49'ers guys will have been there before.

If that’s true - then you can only assume they’ve not done their due diligence.

Aiming to bring success and happiness to an explicitly anti-catholic institution. Bizarre.

Unless they’re targeting liquidation2, in which case best of luck 49ers 👍

The 49ers are owned by the York family, who are Catholic philanthropists.

The guy involved in the RFC takeover is one of their vice-presidents, not their owner. Paraag Marathe..... I've no idea what faith he is. Maybe he's one of the Kilkenny Marathes

The 49ers themselves are not funding the deal.

Dream ticket

Big Sam and wee Bam. The 49ers can't be giving them any money by the looks of things.

Ann Budge has made a small fortune from her investment. Bought them for £2.5m, got paid back in full while holding on to 17.4%, has loaned them several million and as confirmed by their accounts,they're charged at standard market rates. Millions gets donated to the club every year to improve the infrastructure (new stand, hotel, restaurant) while Budge puts in nothing. All of which has grown the value of the club, quoted in the media as Bloom investing up to £10m for, what was it 25%? Which would value them at £40m. Sounds high to me but based on that, Budge's 17.4% would be worth £7m. So a tidy profit of £7m plus whatever she's made in interest.

I find it hilarious that the fans and Anderson are plowing in millions for nothing in return whilst Budge is plowing in nothing for millions in return.

In terms of being a football supporter it sucks. In terms of being a business person it’s genius. Remember she was reported as having taken a lot of advice from STF. There are a lot of parallels there but at least STF never claimed to be a supporter.

The board's decision on what to do with Barry is now in...

I just watched the BBC interview with Ferguson. He needs some serious therapy. Mr Angry doesn’t cover it. Brilliant!

I actually think he’s playing at being angry. He’s popped on the blazer , brown brogues and puffed his chest out telling them all what it’s like to play for Rangurs when really he’s a clueless thicko. If he’d been that angry he wouldn’t be available for interview and would still have them in the changing room with Doddsy or McCann sent instead. They’re a bunch of chancers. McGregor’s actually managed to make Butland worse and not a winner amongst the playing staff. questionable whether the management team have it in them any more either. **** them all.

[BILLYHIBS]

The Rangers lose five successive home games

Loving it

[we are hibs]

Is there anything funnier than Kris Boyd saying stuff like "maybe the shirts too heavy for a lot of rangers players". Has he wiped out that season in the championship when he was fat as **** and waddling around the park whilst Rangers finished third in the championship and lost multiple games to Hibs, Hearts and the likes of Alloa and Queen of the South too.


I remember the 4-0 game at Easter Road he came on at half time and should have been sent off about 3 times within 5 minutes. Running about elbowing folk off the ball

Yep, he's just a poor man's "Bomber" Brown. Looks like the orange car and surrounding him with a wee gang of huns isn't going to cut it in a post 17th century world.

Where's my Atletico Bilbao top.........

It comes across a bit insincere but with that recent record and the way they’re being outfought every week, any manager with any credibility should be furious.

The credibility bit might be the problem here?

I thought the wee ned was honest. His team are crap and has no heart for league matches unless it's Celtic. His anger is the reason why he won't make it as a manager. He can't accept players are different from his time as a player. Shouting and being angry is not coaching. None of his coaching staff have been successful in management or coaching. Long may it continue

It was noticeable that he was saying exactly the same thing, in exactly the same angry voice and with the same angry expressions, at every different interview. Kind of hard to stay genuinely angry for that long and not mellow or escalate. Looks like false anger acting to me.

Acting like a typically entitled, crazed, irrational The Rangers fan, not a professional head coach. Just a wee Glesga keelie.

Mentioning that game, I thought it would be good to relive one of my favourite games against The Rangers.
