BlueMazza 0 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 BILL MILLER says he is honoured to have been given the chance to buy Rangers after being announced as the club's preferred bidder today. Miller said: "It is a great honour and privilege to have the opportunity to buy Rangers Football Club. "I respect the club as one of the world's great sporting institutions and one of the UK's most venerable football clubs. "What Rangers, which includes supporters, players, staff and anyone with the club at heart, have been put through, particularly in recent months, is a travesty and from what I can see they have been badly let down by a number of individuals. "This will not happen on my watch should I become the custodian of this great club. "Under my stewardship, Rangers will be managed with fiscal discipline such that the club not only conforms to UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations but also such that Rangers will never have to suffer this kind of anguish again. From now on, Rangers will live within its means - no excuses. "I have fought hard to try and offer Rangers a fresh start and I hope all Rangers fans will continue to rally round the club as we endeavour to leave behind this distressing chapter in the club's history. "Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we have worked hard to ensure that there is no loss of history, no loss of tradition and no liquidation of Rangers Football Club. I wouldn't have it any other way." From Rangers site 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigy1881 79 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Remains to be seen if he can actually pull all this off. I pray to god it all works out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigy 0 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 There's also rumours flying about FF and Twitter that Whyte has agreed to sell his shares for £500k. That would enable a CVA, so fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Strong words from Mr Miller. From the way he's conducted himself so far, I don't believe them to be idle comments. He has built a highly successful business in the US...he hasn't done this by being reckless with his funds or beating about the bush. I feel his stewardship will take the club forward!!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a quote of more like £2m - but there seems to be plenty of missing millions so he's probably already pocketed a fair amount. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggordy 0 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 As good a rallying call as could be expected in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
