**** sake, I click on that link and TWO NOISEY BASTARD VIDEOS start playing and there's no way to get one off without clicking on the link. I closed the page and refuse to read the story now, the shower of ****s
i only got the itn video. CHARLES GREEN’S consortium will hand Ally McCoist a multi-million pound war chest this summer – if the Scottish Football Association can be persuaded to drop their transfer embargo. Express Sport spoke to one of Green’s backers, former Sheffield United owner Mike McDonald, and he admitted that their group have serious wealth that has been put together from the medical worlds of Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and Singapore alongside major investment from European and UK property developers. Top football agent Paul Stretford will also have a major involvement in the football operation, helping the club to buy and sell players. McDonald admitted that once Green’s consortium complete their takeover and sort out the debts they are willing to plough significant amounts into the team to help McCoist’s team to become big players in Scotland and the Champions League. That investment, however, may have to be delayed unless Wednesday’s SFA appeal against their one-year transfer ban is overturned. Charles has brought significant funds to the table because we know we need hundreds of millions to be successful at this level Former Sheffield United owner Mike McDonald “It is pointless to get involved if we weren’t going to invest in the playing side right away,” McDonald stated. “We see that as a major priority, although, obviously, that is dependent on the Scottish Football Association’s transfer embargo. We know that Ally McCoist needs to strengthen his team and also to keep some of the players he already has at the club. “We have got all our funding together for every aspect of the take over and now it is just a case of sorting it out. Charles has had a good conversation with Ally McCoist and we want him to carry on managing the team. Charles has brought significant funds to the table because we know we need hundreds of millions to be successful at this level. “There are a lot of people who are in this game for the publicity and think they can run a football club on a shoestring but it just isn’t possible, I know that. We will not be throwing silly money at things like Manchester City but we know we have to have enough money to carry our plans out.” It was McDonald who advised Green to get a group of businessmen together if he was really serious about buying Rangers.He admitted: “That is the reason why there is a consortium involved because unless you are a sheikh or you have extreme wealth then it is very difficult for one person to fund a big-name football club, like Rangers. “I told Charles that if he wanted to do it then he would need to go down the road of a consortium so we would have the financial clout that Rangers needed. Charles has gone away and done that and that is why we will have money coming from Europe, the UK, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and Singapore.” McDonald has also assured the Rangers fans that Green’s consortium are the real deal. They have the funds and the backers and they also know the football world and are committed to the club in the long-term – with the Champions League success their ultimate goal. “Every one of the consortium wants to get Rangers back where they should be,” McDonald admitted. “It is a massive club and it should be at the forefront of British and European football. Why can’t that be done? I know it can’t be achieved overnight but we have a long-term plan to achieve that goal. We have to sort the club out and to get them back on a stable and sound financial footing. Charles is definitely in it for the long haul.” Green has been given the green light from Duff and Phelps to take Rangers out of administration and they hope to have their deal completed by next month.The new owners plan to go down the road of a Creditors Voluntary Agreement although they have put a fall-back newco plan in place should they fail. They are also aware many of McCoist’s first-team can also leave this summer as a result of clauses put into contracts when they agreed wage cuts with the administrators.
Rangers fans are clearly viewed by the media as nothing more than the savages from South Sea islands, that can be easily won over by a few baubles. £70 million casino dome. War chests. Even the panic player buying after the fans ructions post-Kaunus. Might as well just throw the a couple of coloured beads and a few shiny things. The result would be the same.
Top football agent Paul Stretford will also have a major involvement in the football operation, helping the club to buy and sell players. Mostly selling i'll bet.

Rino: I’m in talks with Gers Gattuso, 34, quit AC Milan on Sunday after 13 years. And he is now praying the SFA overturn a 12-month ban on new Ibrox signings to allow him a swansong season in Glasgow. The Italian World Cup winner wants one final season as a player before hanging up his boots. He’s had discussions with prospective Ibrox buyer Charles Green. The hardman midfielder tweeted: “Today, I spoke with some of the new people that are entering Glasgow Rangers. “My dream is to play for them, but we will see.” Gers may not be able to sign new players this summer after being hit with a 12-month transfer embargo. They will appeal the decision at Hampden tomorrow. But even if they win their case and have the verdict overturned the club’s future is still hanging in the balance, with buyer Green yet to finalise his takeover. Boss Ally McCoist can’t begin to prepare for next season with so much uncertainty at the cash-strapped club. Even in the best-case scenario his budget is certain to be very tight. Gattuso, though, says he is NOT interested in one final pay-day before retiring. The veteran ace, who met Scottish wife Monica during his short spell in Glasgow, added: “I’m not interested in money. “If I’m 35 years old and only think about earning money, then it means I have failed. “I want a new adventure. Something that excites me and makes me feel alive.” Gattuso has started his coaching badges at the Italian FA HQ near Florence. He added: “Tomorrow a new adventure will begin for me at Coverciano, where I will take the licence to become a coach. I believe being a coach is more difficult than being a footballer. “I’m very enthusiastic about this new adventure.” Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sco...tuso-Im-in-talks-with-Gers.html#ixzz1uwTpqb7M
It came as a surprise to me too, that and the fact that he's a "Hardman". He is about as hard as day old bread.
I dont wish to be unkind, but I met him once in the merchant city and he looked like an extra from Planet Of The Apes. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
I think all the creditors of Rangers including HMRC must be more than happy with tis latest turn of events. As they have a Rangers war chest then no doubt they will be able to pay off all the Rangers debt of £150m or whatever. Hearts will even get paid for Wallace and Aluko will actually get paid for his diving. Great news all round and Green will sse to it that they will never owe a penny again. Clubs will be able to continue the tradition of sending, away end tickets to Rangers, and getting paid as normal. That will be handy for Clyde. I didn't see any timescale from Green towards getting Rangers up from Division 3 to SPL. I just felt what was left of the Rangers fans might like to know.
