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.

    what would be the benefit to Green of setting up a new company? Would he gain by shifting assets to another newco of his?

    WHO WHOULD SAY THAT

     

     

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  5. Dead and Loving it on

    Just saw George Galloway on SSN

     

     

    he looks terrible , lost too much weight

  6. If the ‘ I love the newcastle brown ale ‘ bomber takes over at the exhuns, will he throw bricks at the Celtic team bus the next time it draws up at ibrokes.

     

    Or does he only throw bricks at Cetic supporters buses in Hamilton.

     

    Aye a lovely guy is the ‘ I talk broon ‘ bomber.

     

    A match made in hell!!

  7. Sparkleghirl,

     

    poor wee you ;-)),

     

    as you say you have the CQN community to share the joy that we are having just now,

     

    and you probably dont have many of the huns to put up with either

  8. Bomber – debuts in the latest blockbuster,

     

     

    “When Brown Brogues Go Rogue”

  9. Can I Have Raspberry On That

     

     

    Could mean everything or nothing. Sevco 5088 are the company who bought the assets and business of Rangers FC Plc and are the company who are intending to purchase Rangers FC’s share in the SPL.

     

     

    They are also the company hoping to get a SFA license.

     

     

    They are also the company hoping to acquire the registrations of former Rangers staff via a TUPE arrangement and so far three players have indicated a willingness to transfer to this company.

     

     

    As things stand, Sevco 5088 will own the players and whatever rights they assume they have to Rangers name and history etc but Sevco Scotland will own deeds to Ibrox etc.

     

     

    This new club may have players but as of now, no stadium.

     

     

    Craig Whyte’s floating charge is intersting as he will benefit from any future sale of these assets should John Brown get his wish. It has also led to speculation that Craig Whyte may be an investor of Charles Green’s consortium.

     

     

    Not sure why he would register a new company called RFC 2012 Ltd unless he intends to use this as the vehicle for securing the SFA licence etc.

    he could have mine for a couple of weeks

     

     

    mentioned in front of my good lady that he had lost too much weight

     

     

    I am sure she just scowled at me

  11. I’ve said it 14 times on CQN and I’ll say it again.

     

     

    There will be no Rangers in any name, shape or form playing in any league in any country next season.

     

     

    With apologies to Holy Willie.

     

     

    :)

    what would be the benefit to Green of setting up a new company? Would he gain by shifting assets to another newco of his?

     

     

    Might be as simple as Sevco Scotland Ltd is registered as a company in Scotland wheras Sevco 5088 Ltd is registered as a company in England.

     

     

    Still, seems dodgy enough to me. Will need to look more closely into it.

    Yes, that’s some consolation. It also means I’ve never had to attempt to explain why the league splits in spring.

    Perhaps he’s going to rent the stadium back to the huns.

    The gathering at the Big House might be interesting tonight… lets hope the TV crews are there and talk to a few of its former occupants.

    that quickly becoming a no shit sherlock statement

     

     

    what about the following year, what does that towering intellect tell us about that

    Can Sevco5088 be liquidated then after the properties are moved to another company?

    Yes but unlikely that Sevco 5088 will have any creditors yet, apart from employees if unpaid tomorrow, so no reason to liquidate that company yet.
