RANGERRAB 3,770 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If Ibrox is taken over by another company and leased to the club on, for example, a 99 year lease, would this get us out of it, and if it did, where would we play if Ibrox was not our property any more? A football stadium has very little use other than to allow a football club to play there 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a sale and leaseback occurs then the only way to undo it would be to buy it back, any sale and leaseback would tie us to playing at Ibrox as part of the deal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For there to be change there has to be an alternative and apart from Dave King there's nothing even close, a fan buy out just doesn't look like happening anytime soon. My concern is that some (not saying you) are so entrenched right now they'd rather we went into administration than let the current regime continue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sale and leaseback would tie us to playing at Ibrox, but it would do extensive temporary damage to us and possibly great long term harm too. It would be good if there was a way out which didn't involve buying it back at a massively inflated price. Is there one? If a 99 year lease is signed by the current board, how can we rip it up - legally? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
