Danny 0 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It kept me awake, so I wrote a blog about it... The battle to own Rangers Football Club seriously heated up on Friday. Administrators Duff & Phelps confirmed three concrete bids had been received on their stated deadline, with one more supposedly imminent over the weekend. The 3 publicised interested parties are 'The Blue Knights', headed by Paul Murray, rugby primo Brian Kennedy, and a Chicago-based consortium possibly called 'Club 9 Sports'. The belated bid is alleged to be from Singapore headed by Glasgow businessman Shazad Bakhsh. Ibrox Noise: For Sale: Rangers FC. Several Previous Careless Owners. Having looked at all the options, do you agree with my conclusions so far? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain 0 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 "After having our fingers burned by a Whyte Knight, we no longer wish to be pawns in any game." And how can we stop that from happening? Money and/or ego's mean more to those with power than the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how can we stop that from happening? Money and/or ego's mean more to those with power than the club. I don't know. I'm more concerned than I was about the options we have. We have the problematic Knights, the reluctant Kennedy, and the unreliable Club 9 Sports. None of these bids inspire me now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 0 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think the quote from Kennedy is being taken out of context and twisted. If he genuinely didn't want to buy us he wouldn't have bided for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understood it they spent £150,000 preparing the ground work only to not declare yesterday. Now they wouldn't have done that if they had not been serious, surely? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well hopefully they are but i only wanted to discuss the received bids. I made reference to the Singapore bid being impending. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 After having our fingers burned by a Whyte Knight, we no longer wish to be pawns in any game. That particular Whyte Knight hasn't left the board and has no intention of doing so, watch out for him shouting cheque mate!? (somebody else's of course) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 The bids will all be subject to the CVA being agreed. I would say we have received NO concrete bids so far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only someone who intends to liquidate would bid without the appropriate caveats. This administration process is being handled very, very unusually. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
