chilledbear 16 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Haven't seen this on here. From the Herald Mr Murray will meet with administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse of Duff and Phelps next week after noting an official interest in taking control of Rangers. This is his second attempt â?? he lost out when Whyte bought the club from Sir David Murray in May. He was removed from the Ibrox board not long after. Mr Murray has been in talks with HMRC to ascertain what Rangers' position is with the taxman. The former Deutsche Bank high flyer is set to launch his Blue Knights scheme within two weeks, with the goal of raising tens of millions of pounds to help fund the purchase and running of the club. That funding will be underwritten by prominent and successful Scottish businessmen who have already indicated a willingness to help save Rangers. Dave King, the South African-based businessman who was removed from the club's board last week, is also believed to be involved in the deal. Mr Murray's plans will be given high-profile backing by a plethora of Ibrox legends â?? including former manager Walter Smith, nine-in-a-row winning captain Richard Gough, and former midfielder Ian Ferguson. A trust fund will be established for payments to be made into, which will then become the vehicle used to complete any buyout of the Scottish Premier League champions. The Blue Knights scheme would offer investors one share and one vote for £1000. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 How do the Administrators decide, if there are 2/3 bids? Is it the highest bid or the one they think will be best for the Club? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I will and see who's involved and the fine detail before I do anything and not happy that King is involved. Also think £1000 for one share one vote is a bit steep for the guys they are trying to target. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 6,075 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 What's the general consensus amongst Rangers fans for Paul Murray? I know hee-haw about him. He's been marred by his connection wit the previous board, the fact that his previous attempt at buying us was unclear and by his criticisms of whyte (alhough apparently proved right so that may win him some points). He's well respected in the business world and looks to be one of the best bet at puttting together a consortium, 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Not a fan of Paul Murray, but if he can attract the correct type of investor and give us the support a say in the running of our club. Then i will support him. A grand for a vote to save our club is good value for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
