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.

    John Brown clearly doesn’t know about the Kubler-Ross grief cycle.

     

     

    Either that or he’s just been woken up from his cryogenic chamber and he’s misse the last 5 months.

    He might be the aforementioned sandwiches short of a picnic, but even Gazza’s steering clear of this one.

  15. Reporting Scotland headline:

    In the interest of unity we shall be consulting with our sister fan organisations and those parties (such as John Brown’s consortium….

     

    ———————————————————————————————————–

     

    Just shows how much these guys are in some sort of parallel world. Some half wit pitches up outside Ayebrokes rambles some incoherent nonsense whilst doing a ‘Rab C Nesbitt’ impression and half an hour later they are talking about the John Brown consortium.

     

     

    Is this the same Brown that was supposed to be fronting the £11m consortium last week.

     

     

    If it was not so sad it would be funny. (stop that sniggering at the back).

     

     

    Twitter support fro Nick Griffiths (BNP) and ‘Rab C’ Brown as the spokesperson for a consortium. If Carlsberg did PR disasters…

     

     

     

    Desperate or whata a c in cloudcuckoo oojust shows
