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 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!!

Bomber – debuts in the latest blockbuster,
“When Brown Brogues Go Rogue”
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.

philvisreturns
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
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.

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.
bankiebhoy1
wish I had made that up
John Brown taking elocution lessons will be like a new signing say Mark hately
Perhaps he’s going to rent the stadium back to the huns.
So Craig Whyte still has a valid floating charge over Ibrox then.
The only show in town!
@mikefstv: According to title deeds, the floating charge held by Craig Whyte over Murray Park is still valid http://t.co/3oRVFTnw
@mikefstv: Sevco Scotland Limited has applied to land register for title deeds to Ibrox, Murray Park and the Albion car park http://t.co/3oRVFTnw
Bomber’s motto :
“Ahm a fighter , no a luvver”
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.

Tom Mc..,
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?
Can embdy confirm please:
Is Smeato John Brown’s scriptwriter?
And is the season ticket account registered in Nigeria???
People buying season tickets for Sevco 5088 are to get a free spacesuit, due to the lack of atmosphere.

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.
