Brown launches bid to buy Rangers’ assets

1612

Former Rangers player, John Brown, spoke to Sky Sports this morning outside Ibrox and launched a takeover bid for the former club’s assets.  Yesterday he resigned as a scout for the company before urging Rangers fans not to renew their season tickets.

In an interview reminiscent of a memorable scene from Blazing Saddles, Brown told Sky:

“If [the fans]invest, we’ll setup a bank account that all the season ticket money can go in there, and we can guarantee that we will buy this club over from this regime because it’s coming back into Rangers hands.

“Gone are the days, of the, the money that we spent.  It’s going to be handled differently this time.  The fans are going to buy it over.  We have the backing from powerful people who are going to invest, but the fans will invest, and they’ll offer Charles Green, if he says he’s got the title deeds in his name, we’ll make an offer, once we see the hidden letters, any deeds that have been done in the past, if there’s any stumbling blocks, where’s Ticketus in all this, we’ll deal with that, once we see the title deeds, of this stadium, that I was proud to play for, in a number of years through nine-in-a-row, and we’re going to get our club back, but we need a bit of honesty from Charles Green.”

Reports that after hearing Brown, Charlie Nicholas is worried for his analyst position with the broadcaster, have not been confirmed.

    If Brown is indicitive of the quality of Rangers scouts is it any wonder they’ve so many pish players.

     

     

    I’d love to read one of his scout reports.

    Would love it Keegan style if by chance the water cannons get turned on the demonstrators at Ibrox tonight, wouldn’t it be great watchin them get blitzed with that, makes you wonder why they didn’t wheel them out during the UEFA Cup Final Manchester Riots, opportunity missed,

     

     

    Would also love it if we romped the league by Xmas every year, that would be fantastic, would never get bored with that, plus it would enable us to concentrate on Europe, either playing in it or preparing for it…

    It was me who said Celtic was in my blood.

     

     

    You couldn’t remember or didn’t say who had said it.

     

     

    Now that is typical!

     

     

    My posts are, usually, ignored and I am ok with that.

    Aye. Their ‘fans’ have been led up and down the garden path by the nose for the last 20 years. They never learned to listen. Their legneds made complete fools of them. You are far from a daft lassie (like myself)!

    Water cannons won’t be necessary. They’re only expected to turn out in their dozens.

     

     

    A few buckets should be enough.

  17. Remember that Boaby guy in Dallas? He was just having a shower for about three years, as it turned out. This ex-club debacle is a monumental shower of s***e that might last just as long…… suspend any notion of disbelief and let the show go on.

  18. Sparkleghirl,

     

    maybe just one of those giant water guns that the weans get on holiday ;-))

  26. So Sevco 5088 have now transferred title deeds of Ibrox, Murray park and Albion Car Park to Sevco Scotland Ltd.

     

     

    Craig Whyte’s floating charge is still attached to these properties.

     

     

    Charles green has also set up a company RFC 2012 Ltd.

    Almost zilch, unfortunately.

     

     

    Most have heard of Celtic and Rangers but many don’t realise it’s a separate league from the English. Some know about the religion thing but would never understand the extent to which it impacts on life in general. None really get the significance of what’s happening now which means (get out the violins) that I’ve got noone here to share this joy with. Hence I spend so much time on CQN; even when the sun is shining outside.

     

    I’ve never tried to / never had to explain the basque flags at Celtic park.
