Was with a pal last night who has a good number of shares within our club and he was explaining to me the situation with the takeover or potential takeover now. His words POTENTIAL.
Park is believed to be re-negotiating his position with the shares. Willing to sell half of them and keep half as the value of the club and shares will potentially double in the next 10-15 years. If that is the case it makes business sense for him to hold half of current holding. Personally pretty selfish on his part as it could potentially block a takeover as the 49ers will not do business with any holding less that 51%.
There are still lots of others holding shares however the price 49ers will need to pay shall depend on the people who hold the shares accepting the price on offer from the 49ers or negotiating with them. Some will clearly get more than others as these deals will be conducted privately.
I still think they will get the 51% but maybe will take a little longer now as they need to source from other individual shareholders.
My pal has agreed to sell his shares, not a massive amount but still 750k. He has made around 225k as he purchased his block for 525k.
I think it will be resolved before Christmas from what was explained to me. My pal thinks Barry will still be in the dug-out until this is resolved, be it Christmas and rolling into next summer OR when the share purchase can be complete. Whichever is sooner.

Interesting, as it's pretty much the opposite of the what I've heard.
Would be really disappointed to see BF in charge come next season.

There is no way my pal is one of them. He bleeds blue blood. Proper hard-core. Just need to see. My guess most of what he told me is true or along the lines of what he has been informed. It could happen next week. Never know, deals need to be done, simple as that.
He knows Ally well also and said there is no way he is selling. He actually said Coisty would only consider it at a Fiver a share. I have no idea what Ally owns share wise. I never asked.

Oh no now I am really scared and worried now; well actually;y as you hopefully can tell I am not. just one question: if these were all concluded privately as you say, how does your mate know all about other shareholders? if 49ers are blabbing their business to everyone then I am not sure they are fit to run any business of any size.
also once they have agreement for 30% they are legally required to offer to buy the shares of all other shareholders at a price equal to or greater than the highest price shares have sold in the last 12 months.
you might be right but too many gaps for my liking.

I think Barry has done okay with that squad. Let's face it he has been dealt a really poor hand in terms of the squad. Paul Daniels would be lucky to magic a few wins out of them. I think if Barry was given decent funds he could do well.

I think that Bilbao 2nd leg was the nail in Barry's coffin, EHL. I can't see him being in charge past the summer. I wanted him to do well so badly but he's not ready for it tactically, albeit has the mentality but you need both to be a successful manager.

Why is it at least one new poster each day comes on to tell us the takeover is in doubt?
I stand by my posts from the last 2 weeks.
I only post with good intentions and have done for a few years.
I don't expect everyone to trust me, but this sort of post is in direct contradiction to any information coming out of the negotiations.

I will discuss this further in the morning.
Friends have faith we are on the right track now.

If it's not resolved by Christmas i will eat my socks. If Ferguson is still our manager at Christmas, i will get the Celtic badge tattooed on my forehead.

I wish the takeover situation was never leaked. Everyday praying for good news since it first broke. Anyone else constantly refreshing the page? It's like deadline day everyday ever since. MRGA.

No disrespect bud, but that's a whopper for a first post and contrary to posters with inside the club info, feel your buds at it.

I actually can't believe people take time out of their day to come on to another fans group page and make up nonsense to try to get a bite.
It's frankly weird and not something that would even cross my mind.
This is very clearly absolute pish and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to spot these fake things a mile away.
Get a life bud, genuinely this kind of obsession is not healthy.

Ah, another new Rangers "supporter" with a "friend" who has "inside knowledge", and who uses an uber staunch username. Hmmmm?! Why even bother?! 🤣🤣.

I said it in another post regarding takeover, if things go and because shareholders are holding out for personal selfishness the fans would go crazy at them imagine park rocking up to Ibrox being the a part of the reason the takeover didn't happen, he'd need personal security.

Some of the posts about the takeover in the last week or two should really end with 'hail, hail' shouldn't they?
If they weren't bothered they wouldn't be on here talking bs.
It seems to be looking positive folks. Can't wait for the club to be run properly by sports professionals and have the funding to build for the future.

It was always end of April start of May, nothing I have heard to contradictcs this and usual negotiations for a takeover.
Try for the highest price but deal eventually or lose out.
It will be done soon.

The thing for me and I could be alone on this is that I don't think I'd be overly concerned with making people believe me unless I had some desperation to be believed.
If I knew my info was solid and it was disputed I don't think I'd care enough to argue it's validity. The second I see folk so desperate to be believed, I always kind of take it as rubbish. Being from a Rangers supporting family and following the club all my life I feel the words die hard, bleeds blue etc are barely mentioned by true fans as we don't need to prove ourselves.
So in short. I smell a Timmy in disguise.

100% correct Ayrshire not that I get much info. But been too much depression in some new posters posts.

Is he in disguise, Ayrshire? I would say he sticks out like a sore thumb!
This compulsion they have to spout all things Rangers is actually a sickness. If I ever allowed a football team I do not support to engulf my whole life, then It's time for me to peter out. Life is far too short to eat, sleep, and breathe all things to do with a club you hate.
Away and enjoy your own club, and life, and stop being a fud!

More smelly from the dark side bored of their team winning so come on here to try and wind up us all which doesn't work. I've counted 5 of them now in the last two weeks . Go and support your team and enjoy it while it lasts cause we all know that use a keeking it cause u know what is coming next, this takeover will be done soon and Rodgers will be offski cause he can't handle a Rangers team on the up with proper investment.

SS, very well put.
Tiresome reading all these "in the know posts". These seemed to start mid January.

I don't know if it's a genuine post or not. I would never intentionally bring someone integrity into question. Saying that I Thank you for sharing the rumour but I will take it as that. I will continue to appreciate the guys who I feel are in the know. @asathor, @ehl, @john, @fork (even just for hus banter 😄) and Florida bear. But I hope the Gerrard is wrong. 😉.

I am a shareholder in the club and frankly what a lot of nonsense.
The takeover is in the legal part and therefore the details of what shares are being purchased and from whom is already in place.
Some people do not understand business.
