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.

  1. Afternoon all.

     

     

    Was hearing the BBC’s Jane Lewis there, saying that the SFA planned to have thems (presumably a new hybrid) playing in the 1st Division next season. Good news for thems apparently. What do the other clubs think of this. She never gave it a moment’s thought, as far as I heard.

     

     

    No to thems of any description and NO NO NO to any SFA chicnaery.

    Maybe they dont!

     

     

    Just checked out the BBC website re the plans being hatched to accommodate Zombie F.C into Division 1and note that Mr sporting integrity himself Rod Petrie is involved. I’m sure if this is untrue he will speak out.

     

    I think the time has come for Celtic to let the fans know what their thoughts are on this issue.

     

    If Celtic meekly accept this reorganisation of our (the fans) game to suit the rotting corpse of one club then I will assume that they agree to it and they can do so without my money.

    100% spot on.

  3. …shocking collusion between Shortbread and the ‘spirit’ of the defunct klub…….

     

     

    Shameful.

    If I was lying on Bondi Beach I’d be thinking the same.

     

     

    The reality of the situation is rather different. If any clubs inherit some of oldhuns supporters does the situation get better or does it get worse?!

    who said last night

     

     

    “the whole of Scotland is bringing us down”

     

     

    You obviously haven´t noticed I would suggest that you are not prepared to even countenance but the Celtic support moved on 20 years ago. The Rest of Scotland didn´t. Still hasn´t.

     

     

    Only a hun couldn´t countenance that.

     

     

    It does sound to me like you cant countenance that hence your illogical hissy fit and imbecilic raising of Irish scum.

     

     

    Uninformed Sunday post speculation that I would expect from a daft wee sqauddie

     

     

    You sound like a permanent hunposter … time you came clean

     

     

     

    Hail Hail

  6. Another MSM report which again provides a glimpse of the facts and then they put their twist on it.

     

     

    I suspect after Friday when the Shame have lodged their papers with the SFA / SFL then we will see the following:

     

     

    – rejection of the Shame into the SPL

     

    – resumption of the AT given that the authorities will have documentary evidence of how owns what

     

    – AT to extend transfer ban to 2 years

     

    – SFL application to SFL3 rejected

     

     

    They will never ever play another game of professional football at Ipox ever again.

    Oh that’s right, Australia has such a commendable human rights record. Haven’t the indigenous aborigines done very well out of colonialism?

     

     

    Get off your self righteous soap box and get real instead!

  9. I’ve heard today Bomber was a guest at an amatuer team dance last friday along with the QC.

     

     

    He apparently hijacked the microphone before the event started to tell the bemused crowd of his meeting that day with our man Green. People were cringing , laughing and startled at his total unprofessionalism and many believed he was indeed drunk!

     

     

    Keep it up.

     

     

    This is so funny

    “Look at the fall out after Lord Mountbatten was fed to the seagulls? ”

     

    His 14 yr old grandson Nicholas Knatchbull and local lad Paul Maxwell 15 were “fed to the seagulls” (as you so eloquently put it) also that day.

    Point taken. Lost for words when it comes to civilian casualties on all sides. Far too distressing.

     

    It should be the main reason for being thankful it’s all over.

    Five senior players in training at Murray Park!

     

     

    Celtic will be unavailable for statements as we are all too busy laughing.
