Positivity from the Chair or waffle ?

Something tells me Frankie that in this game of poker and with a possible �£20 mill euro pot, the boy David is the one sitting with a full house.

 

Well, such an amount must be important for everyone and I can't see the bank or MIH being overly keen to sell the club for the debt only when they could grab a decent portion of that next January.

 

The price may have been agreed but I'd be surprised if it didn't come with a few stipulations itself dependent on club performance in the medium-term.

As Frankie says, I've absolutely no idea what's coming down the pipe but I certainly wouldn't discount your theory that Murray still has his chubby paws round the neck of this club a year from now. Strange times indeed but it does all smell of the same Murray manipulation we've seen so many times before. The less that bugger says the more he's doing.

For me (and again this is uninformed speculation on my part); if we secure CL involvement:

 

Andrew Ellis will become the new majority shareholder of Rangers Football Club backed by as yet unknown financier(s) (possibly Dave King).

 

SDM will remain as a minority shareholder and director emeritus.

 

Lloyds Bank will retain a minimal financial input into the club.

That is where we differ Frankie, the chairs comments smack of warning off potential buyers rather than encouraging them, by presenting a future filled with uncertainty, my money is on no change.

Possibly but one must take into account that any new buyer will be minimising, if not nullifying completely, the influence of the bank which AJ usually highlights as the main source of angst for the current board.

 

Moreover AJ has been pretty clear in highlighting his remit as being there to sell the club while not being exactly forthcoming in his praise for SDM/MIH.

 

Where you are correct is obviously the current owner will decide if and when he sells the club. That is not cut and dried by any manner of means.

Anyone else care to predict who will own the club next season? :fish:

I read it differently.

 

Apart from a handful of posters on a couple of websites who claim to be well-informed (and the Scottish Sun), nobody seems to think Ellis' deal will complete. I'm not ruling it out myself, but that's what most folk seem to think.

 

That being the case, I think AJ may possibly be beginning to put us 'back out there'.

[Frankie 8,675]

At the end of the day the club is for sale and while SDM will of course manipulate the situation in order to benefit as much as possible personally, I don't think it makes sense for anyone to suggest he wants to remain in charge through choice.

Dont know for certain but I believe Murray is actually a busted flush and trying to bluff his way out of the deep myre he finds himself in again , only this time he isn't bluffing the plebs , he's playing with the big boys and LLoyds certainly hold all the aces ..plus Murrays knackers and they are squeezing harder by the day .

To be fair to SDM he's bluffed more than a few of us plebs in his time...

 

I'm sure the bank are squeezing hard but I'm also sure SDM will be squeezing just as hard back.
