Juancornetto 1 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Part of me thinks that this bid has been kept up the sleeves of the current board as part of their exit strategy eg. to inflate the price of the remaining shares and achieve the highest possible return on what they hold. But then I've become somewhat of a cynic when it comes to Rangers....I wonder why :-) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus wept can we not have another day of positives? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The guys is credible, extremely wealthy, has very successful businesses and appears to have a genuine passion for sport. I'd say that's a great start. Unlike other shysters we have been putting up with in recent years, this guy won't be interested in getting his hands on 'assets' in f.ucking Govan. His banking business is worth £7bn ffs - I'm not sure he has his eyes on the training centre, Edmiston House or the Albion car park !! I believe he just wants the passion, success and glory from owning a European 'soccer' club. Has genuine intentions for us IMO and I believe he's coming at it form a sporting angle more so than a business one. I'm certainly no expert, but that doesn't seem like a lot for a bank. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what I'm pointing out is that this guy has genuine wealth and it is visible for anyone who is curious about his wealth and/or business accumen and his successes over the years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,803 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Someone whipped up this chart about the current shareholdings. Quite a few ifs and buts and conjecture, but that is to be expected: (Snatched from the German board) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well be the real deal, but his statement today did little to convince me that his 'bid' was serious, or indeed genuine. From the information that I have read on him, he appears to be a basketball nut who loves his home state and his family. Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoodyBlue 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 anyone else have that sinking feeling? Yes - and I feel Ashley will play more games with us before long - like today probably ! Scunnered with the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yes - and I feel Ashley will play more games with us before long - like today probably ! Scunnered with the whole thing. Even with my natural tendency to veer towards pessimism, things appear to be in a far better place now than they were a week ago. Courage, brother, do not stumble Though thy path be dark as night There’s a Bear to guide the humble Trust in King and do the right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Someone whipped up this chart about the current shareholdings. Quite a few ifs and buts and conjecture, but that is to be expected: (Snatched from the German board) King 14.6 Taylor 9.3 Park 6.1 Letham 4.1 Ally/w 1.5 35.6% can be relied upon even with River and Mercantile proxy - IF they have that still isn't control is it? I can't see them relying on EVERY single fan voting the right way IMO Still some way off out right control IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
