So any news on when we will hear about the takeover from the club? Since our season domestically and in europe is pretty much done I hope it's soon.
19 Apr 2025 16:40:42
Day before Scottish Cup final day would do nicely.
19 Apr 2025 17:48:02
I think there will be news on the takeover again tomorrow from another 00 poster on here; and then probably again the day after and then the day after.
17 Apr 2025 16:47:14
The latest shares the club issued were valued at 20p each, if the 49ers offered 30p per share which is 50% more than what the club value them i doubt the major shareholder will sell, the 2 investment companies are just caretakers for thousands of smaller investors who sold them their shares, they might have the voting rights to the shares, but i doubt they can sell them without the permission of the holder, who may want to hold them hoping the go up if a takeover happens. I myself don't think anyone should hold more than about40% of the club.
18 Apr 2025 08:20:21
So the shares are worth currently around 34p. as the 49ers probably already have more than 30% of the shares then they need to legally offer to buy every other share, which is why the Easdale story, and the C1872 offer, has come out now.
if they are investment companies then the ones I use don't have to come to me and ask my permission to buy and sell any of the investments they make on my behalf. in most takeovers the share price goes up when news off it comes out and then once it happens it goes down again and settles. so to use that strategy might not work. they might hold off selling hoping 49ers will up their price to get them. that might work but there are a lot of shareholders who might sell and close that route down as the 49ers might then not need to buy them.
I personally am happy with whoever the owners are if they make us successful.

Alas, if the small invessold shares to investment company, the company own them.
17 Apr 2025 10:05:15
Do we know which shareholders are selling up shares completely or partially?
And which shareholders are not wanting to sell any?
What I understand is King and Bennett selling completely.
Park's partially.
From what I've been told, the Daily Mail article is very old news and this was was dealt with quite some time ago. The deal is done and just needs announced.
17 Apr 2025 11:22:11
True blue not even a story, I'm told park has a greed to sell 10% of the 13% he holds in the club,
Bennett king easedales wolthardt h Gibson multiple individuals who own up to three %.
Thethree west of Scotland men are also massive sellers, the buyers do not need to go to the very small shareholders that hold less than 5000 shares each.
17 Apr 2025 17:48:04
John, the ones you mention give them over the 30% anyway so they will need to offer to buy which is why the Eadlae's have that offer to sell. I suspect this is where the DM story comes from and is just a normal part of takeovers required by the law. the smaller ones can refuse and there is no issue.
17 Apr 2025 22:16:03
Angus there is more than I named have reache verbal agreement.
16 Apr 2025 18:39:15
If/ When the new owners take over. What happens with the current sponsors (shirts etc), kit suppliers etc etc.
17 Apr 2025 09:56:31
Either continues as contract until renewal then find best value. Or we buy our of the contacts prior for more profit.
Knowing us though we'll break the contract and fight it in court.
17 Apr 2025 11:24:55
Rangers I'd say contracts run till renewal date as you say.
New owners would be unlikely to buy out say new strip suppliers at 5 year deal worth circa 7 million a year, that would be silly.
19 Apr 2025 16:42:48
100% should have added it's not likely just trying to make the point about another court case😂.

Anyone have a rough idea on how much hagis wages are.
12 Apr 2025 16:13:57
Deecee too much mate. over 20k, offer him 12k he doesn't accept it bye bye.
14 Apr 2025 07:47:36
Agree with my Star too much for too little reward.
Not good enough time to move on from this Era.
14 Apr 2025 08:52:12
Think over 20k, and it was supposed to rise significantly on appearances, that's why he was shipped off and not playing till he dropped that, I believe.
15 Apr 2025 22:54:28
He's already took a wage cut to play which is commendable. I believe there a clause for another year but it includes a wage rise on his original wage which is too rich for us however if a deal can be agreed I think he's worth keeping. Hagi has that little something different but admittedly doesn't show it enough, thought he was immense last Thursday, got right stuck in and battled for everything . If he can show that level of battling competitiveness every game he'd be some player .
That's the problem with Rangers just now, too many players held in high regard because on their day they have shown they can be great players and game winners but the problem is they only produce it 10% of the time while collecting 100% of their wages.
Not sure how viable this is but if I'm the man signing checks and negotiating contracts going forward I'm offering pretty basic weekly wages going forward 10k a week for talking sense, 10k win bonus,5k goal bonus, 2k assist bonus ect ect . So your 20-30k is pretty much guaranteed, simply go out there on Saturday and beat a Ross county, Motherwell ect .

What's NK remit?
If NK remit is to reduce the wage bill, and sign players with potential that we could eventually make a profit on - whilst getting a side that can finish 2nd in the league then he is doing well.
If he is trying to build a squad capable of winning the league then he is failing miserably.
06 Apr 2025 16:48:58
The key word there is 'build' though. look at Guardiola at Man City Ferguson at United, Gerrard at us where they didn't finish top in first season (s) . They were given time to build that squad to challenge and then win it. Hopefully we give Koppen the time to add to the squad we have and get the mentality sorted.
he has had to do that whilst cutting wage bill and trying to buy to sell and make profit. successful teams in the main build that squad whilst having a revamp every 3-4 years. we however give our managers 9 months to a year so the process is now changing to make the squad the same whoever the manager.
08 Apr 2025 20:34:32
The people you mention here are managers though, different remit for director of recruitment.
09 Apr 2025 17:44:42
In those teams the managers didn't buy but the DORs whoever they were took time to get the squad in place to win. We constantly change the manager, 2 or 3 since Koppen arrived but he still needs time to put that squad in place and we don't have cash of the others to do it quickly. So the point stands that it takes time to build a title winning team so to say he has failed is a little premature. But we want immediate success so no patience.
14 Apr 2025 08:55:13
The ones you mentioned, apart from SG, are working on a different planet, money and recruitment wise. we are very small beer compared to the teams these guys managed imo.
16 Apr 2025 08:10:09
Correct BAR but I feel that also supports my argument: if it takes them with all their money 2 years to create a squad/ team to win then why would we think we can do it in 9 months especially with a change of manager every 18 and the need to restart.
