Kowalski Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Oh ma sides!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28713408 Former Rangers chief executive Charles Green has told BBC Sport he is close to raising up to £10m to invest in the Scottish Championship club. Green left the Ibrox club last year following allegations about business dealings with former owner Craig Whyte. Now Green claims he has investors ready to stabilise the club financially.

Graeme_S Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Suspect Fat Sally will be gone before long. I'd be amazed if he lasted the season there. My worry is that as soon as he is gone, the usual media c**ts will start mentioning McInnes for the vacant post. Ex-player doing well, he's a shoe-in to be mentioned, which whether he was interested or not would potentially be de-stabilising to us for a bit. with any luck, their next managerial assignment will be worse than David Hockaday for Leeds.

BobbyBiscuit Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 They would need to give him £1m pay off if they were to sack him. They don't have that money. They're both stuck with each other.

Kowalski Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has been granted permission to appeal against a tax ruling over Rangers Football Club's use of employee benefit trusts (EBTs). In July, an upper-tier tax tribunal (UTT) largely upheld a first-tier tribunal (FTT) decision that EBT payments made to players and other employees should not be taxable. Rangers former owners, the Murray Group, argued the payments were loans. HMRC's latest appeal will be heard at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

Kowalski Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Rangers bosses have admitted they will be unable to pay the club’s creditors if a planned share offering fails. The club has announced plans to sell off 19.8 million shares in the hopes of securing around £3.97m. But it cautioned there was no guarantee shares would be bought up by existing investors. The club has now warned that its future may be "uncertain" if less than 15 million shares are sold. In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, the club said: “The company will require additional external funding in the latter half of the current financial year in order to meet working capital requirements. “There can be no certainty as to the aggregate level of subscription for new ordinary shares. “If the aggregate level of subscription is less than 15 million new ordinary shares the open offer will not proceed and subscription monies will be returned to applicants. “Should this occur, the company will be unable to pay its creditors as they fall due and the future of the company will be uncertain. “The directors will immediately have to seek emergency financing which may or may not be available.” In their April business review, Rangers said they would look to exercise their right to issue shares if sales of season tickets were "materially less than anticipated". Sales of season tickets sat at just over 20,000 earlier this month, up marginally from the 17,000 renewed by existing ticket holders prior to a public sale. Rangers previously sold 38,000 season tickets for the 2013/14 season. The gap in sales has prompted the decision to press ahead with the issue of shares, which are available only to existing shareholders. When asked about the issue, Rangers boss Ally McCoist said he only wished to discuss football matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Third time lucky? Former Rangers commercial director Imran Ahmad has returned to court for a third time in a bid to have £620,000 of club assets frozen. Lawyers acting for Mr Ahmad claim he is owed a £500,000 bonus for the time he spent working at the Ibrox club. The Court of Session in Edinburgh heard Mr Ahmad is worried about the potential prospect of Rangers becoming insolvent. Lord Stewart continued the case to Friday when lawyers for Rangers will address the court. Mr Ahmad, who has twice lost court bids to have Rangers' assets ring-fenced, claims he is owed £500,000 for negotiating deals and wants another £120,000 to cover legal expenses. Advocate Kenny McBrearty QC told Lord Stewart that Mr Ahmad is concerned about the current state of the club's finances and fears Rangers would not be in a position to pay up if the court eventually rules in his favour. He told the court Rangers have sold 23,000 season tickets this season, down 15,000 on last season. Mr McBrearty said the Rangers board's latest plans for a share issue may only raise £3.6m and cover part of the club's obligations. He added: "There is a significant hole in the club's finances for the forthcoming season." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Rangers sold the naming rights for Ibrox Stadium to Newcastle and Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley for £1 two years ago, it has been revealed. The contract was struck with ex-Rangers chief executive Charles Green as part of a commercial deal that left Ashley in control of the retail department. Ashley has a stake of around 5% in the Ibrox club and is understood to be looking to increase his shareholding. In 2011 he changed the name of Newcastle's ground, St James' Park. Ashley claimed renaming the stadium the Sports Direct Arena would "showcase" the branding potential of the club, but he changed the name back following a fans' backlash. BBC Scotland understands that, despite owning the naming rights to Rangers' home ground, Ashley does not intend to effect a name change in the immediate future. Good to know another potential source of income has now been blocked for fuck all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Judge has encouraged them to come to a deal with the guy which I would like to think means the appeal is pretty unlikely to succeed. Apparently they have been spending lots of cash on some Malaysian businessman trying to convince him to buy the club by showing him the best Glasgow (and Renfrewshire has to offer).
