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.

    No.What i am saying is that they should find other means to cool down,alternative means that don’t involve ruining the planet for the rest of us.

     

     

    What did they do in these places before air-con was invented?

     

     

    It’s a disgrace.

    Now that they have sadly been eliminated from Euro2012 I can exclusively reveal that the Sandy Jardine marching stylee owes a lot to the CR7 ‘5 steps back and one to the side’ approach to free kicks.

    Well, we’re not sure really.

    Now!

    You’ll be glad to know I scrolled on by his latest comment. I haven’t and will not be reading any more of his posts.

     

     

    I will continue to scroll on by. I suggest he does the same.

     

     

    So there’s an end to it.

  6. Pfayr, when I watched it , the sound was out of sync with the picture and I thought to myself, how did ANNAOAN manage to do that?

     

     

    Quick thought, when only 3 show up at MP today, will the spin be that the rest are being given extra time as they were at the euros ?

    Current scientific consensus is that there is more justification for existence of ‘Loch Ness Monster’ than existence of ‘Rang##s Football Club’.

    TO any lurkers from Leggoland:

     

     

    If it’s true that

     

    It is Charles Green who is not trusted. Not trusted by the players of today, such as good Rangers man and Ulsterman, Steve Davis.

     

    And not trusted by the icons of the nine-in-a-row years, John Brown, Andy Goram and Brian Laudrup.

     

     

    then what about Super Ally? Is he a traitor?

     

    +++++

     

     

    Hehehe, ‘good’ Rangers man Davis and icons and legneds trusted Minty and later Whyte.

     

     

    That worked out well.

  13. Sevco protestors:

     

     

    We want answers!

     

     

    What’s the questions?

     

     

    We don’t really know, we were told to protest on a website!

     

     

    When do we want it?!

     

     

    Now!

    ALEX THOMSON, the Channel Four bigot who mocked the 66 who perished in the Ibrox Disaster, is in trouble.

     

     

    And I will soon reveal another pile of the brown, smelly and sticky stuff this disgrace of a man is up to his neck in.

     

     

    He started something.

     

     

    I am about to finish it.

     

     

    And finish Alex Thomson.

     

     

    With a little help from Taggart.

    Haha. So Arabs should go back to relying on wind towers to cool them down while they work away providing the rest of the world with oil just so it doesnt rain there?

     

     

    Do you have a fridge? Will you throw your fridge out and go putting fresh foods down a salty hole out the back garden to keep them fresh to do your bit?

     

     

    Refrigeration and Air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions theres been.

    Uff, almost arctic.

     

    I lived for a couple of years in a very hot place. I couldn’t handle the aircon lower thn 26/27 degrees.

     

     

    Now I live very very near the sea and nearly always (but not today) there’s enough breeze. I only suffer when we get the Terral coming off the land. It keeps the sea breeze away.

  25. When Brown signed for rangers he headed to the pub i was working in and i kept him and his cronies in for lock-in till 5 in morning.What a very very bitter hun he is .

    At least he’s not likely to get away with doctoring match reports after the Germany Italy game…..

     

     

    He won’t want to anyway as he won’t know which densely Catholic-populated country to hate the most.

     

     

    Mibbes he can organise a referee strike because of the number of Catholic countries in the final rounds. Or mibbes he can ask his son to organise one here if the SPL/SFL to allow Newclub 2 into the league.

     

     

    Astonishing and shameless piece of work. Proven liar, proven cheat, proven bigot, proven corruptor of refereeing in this country. What on earth is he doing involved in UEFA refereeing.

    No.I pay my electric bill to keep my fridge going,out of necessity.To try to compare the cost to environment of running a fridge or cooling down half of Arabia is absurd.

     

     

    Someday all that oil is going to run dry.Then what are you all going to do?

     

     

    No air-con them my self-centred friend.

    27/28 is a bit hot for me but Im not long in from a walk outside so 18 is ideal for cooling.
