Guest Oso de Campo Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Firstly I would like to state I am not one of the conspiracy theorists regarding our new ownership, and I don't have any problem with these investors making money from taking a punt on the Rangers. So at this stage I am cautious, but not set against them. But all this talk of season ticket boycotts to force out Green (who is doing a great job of fronting all of the flak to protect his investors) is nonsense. All this does is reduces the available funds for the team, and endangers these 3 back-to-back promotions people seem to be taking as a given. The real way to force the ownership to sell up early is for ALL supporters groups to publically state their opposition and non-participation in a share issue while they remain in charge. The listing and share issue is the ONLY way they can make money (certainly not from any kind of operating profit)... unless they sell up beforehand. But I doubt this will happen as fan-ownership is the holy grail for many. So unless the likes of RST are prepared to oppose this, and say so NOW, I think they just need to buckle in, enjoy the ride, then buy the shares from Zeus, Blue Pitch etc. when the time comes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we are that credible buyer now, but he's got no chance of it working if he asked too early and the price is too high. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,682 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It's a fair post OdC but I'm still not convinced Green will need to be forced to sell. Season ticket renewal uncertainty or not, I'm not sure his investors will fancy the risks associated with Div3 if there remains credible bidders offering a decent return on their money. What we need now (and hopefully we'll get it this week) is confirmation of our league status and confirmation of any outstanding sanctions/appeal hearing. This will allow all parties (the club, the fan groups and the alleged interested bidders) to formulate their decisions for the season ahead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 To force someone to sell, you have to find a credible buyer first.... A credible asking price might help as well. What was it I read he was asking for? £50 million??? Not bad for a £5.5 million investment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he was not asking for £50m. That was just a throwaway valuation by Imran Ahmad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,716 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Sad thing is all things being equal we should be worth at least £50m. Agreed. I think it was a reasonable comment by Ahmad, even if it was aimed at playing to the galleries a bit, but there's not any suggestion that they need that amount to sell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
