Keith Jackson turned all religious on Easter Sunday by admitting that only God knows when the American consortium will be taking over at Ibrox.
For the best part of 30 years Jackson has been treated like a God by the Daily Record, sharing his Gospel with a rapidly declining army of readers with just over 40,000 a day paying £1.70 to read the words of their glorious leader.
These days you can also see and hear Jacko most nights, starring on the Daily Record Hotline podcast as they try to grab a slice of the digital market that has been claimed by those pesky Internet Bampots who are free to address issues independently.
Jackson’s WORLD EXCLUSIVE on February 19 was a laughing stock from Day 1, it didn’t require too much detective work to conclude that the source of the yarn was once described as a very naughty boy by a South African judge.
Nothing has stood the story up, in February the fakeover was at an advanced stage according to the Leader of Record Sport, it was then due to be completed before Paddy Stewart hosts a Q and A on Wednesday.
Recently the fakeover deadline was put back till the end of the month, after rolling his eggs Jackson finally gave in as he addressed the Easter Sunday podcast, soon after suffering through Celtic’s 5-0 win over St Johnstone.
9 minutes 40 seconds: Jacko’s Gospel
We’re all still waiting on this Andrew Cavanagh’s takeover. God knows when that’s going to happen, but if it’s on schedule then it should be done before the end of this month.
I don’t think they’ve put any plans in place for next season, as things stand, in terms of who the manager is going to be, what the squad looks like.
So you need to see what the reaction looks like, if there’s going to be a reaction from Rangers.
My own view is that they are leaving it really late in terms of putting down the building blocks to make themselves competitive in time for the start of the next season.
I think that Celtic are miles out in front. But let’s see. They’ll obviously be coming in to make a difference and to shake things up, be the disruptors. So let’s see.
The takeover myth has done the job it was intended for.
People know that existing shareholders are desperate to offload worthless stock, angry bears have had a spring time distraction away from Scotland’s Most Successful club and the Season Ticket sales are rolling in.
Bears are discussing what size of war-chest Jose Mourinho will get with Celtic two matches away from their sixth treble in nine years.
With the official end of the season less than a month away the fakeover can soon be tucked away with a low key announcement that the deal has hit unexpected difficulties with the club exploring new sources of investment from China, Hong Kong, India and the New England Cardinals.
I’ve seen sloths with sore feet moving quicker than this takeover.
The bloke isa absaloot mug,,,just like the rest of that fan base,,,
Do you think young Master Caw is under strict instructions from big boss Inaction on the ‘ Hotline Live ‘ show from the daily Record , not to ask pertinent questions about the fabled , alleged Ibroxland share buyout ? Questions like : ” What will Mr Cavenagh’ s reaction be when he forensically examines theRangers official ledgers ? ” Or ” What precisely does anyone see in theRangers clumpany making it a viable and must have proposition, Keith ? ” Little confusions like those , which nobody from the SMSM wants to go near with a 10 foot long bargepole with a geranium on its end ?
From the beginning, the only certainty has been
that a cursory glance over the last RIFC Annual Accounts over a cup of coffee
is all you need to do – to decide AGAINST wasting time and money over any
‘formal due diligence’.
And, Jackson’s latest “numpties” article was off-the-radar emotional.
The boy is losing the plot…and the takeover nonsense story.
Could the whole story here turn out to be.
King finds a sap to buy his shares
Anything is possible I suppose.
But I find it incomprehensible that after the due diligence process, there would be anyone willing to risk a single pound or dollar, even Zimbabwean ones, you would need to be Mikey the binman to be daft enough.
Imagine being him btw, cutting about wi feck all now knowing you shat a million into that club and for what exactly?
Old squinty has managed to snare a muppet and fed him his bollocks with a view to getting some of his cash back, thats all he’s interested in.
Mickey The Binman, Murray, King, Joe Lewis, Easdale, Bennett, Parks, Gilligan –
Bloody Hell – Where does the list of loonies end that have lost gazillions at that football club…
And for not one fuckin bit of thanks either –
The Fools – The Fools – The Fools !
Big Donald is coming over for a State visit,he might just decide to buy the klub that’s in a kunt of a state as a play thing.
He is also due to address Parliament maybe that will be the breaking news story that day,as that will be the official day for an American taking over ibrox.
After all the orange man will blend right in there with his narcissistic put downs of people he hates,he will be welcomed with his fascist racism outbursts and spilling as much hatred as possible,that lot would welcome him with open arms.
Murray never lost a brown penny he gained out of it .
Did he not pay around £6 million for them and sell it for a pound Scousebhoy…
Maybe he trousered plenty but I suppose we’ll never know I guess !
If I remember correctly, the purchase price was funded by the then Bank of Scotland.
As ever with Murray/ibrox at that time – it was all about Other People’s Money.
Murray took out a decent (EBT) salary, used his own steel in the stadium development – and probably pocketed a lot more too?
Ah right – Knew it had to be ultra dishonest with him and them Bob (original) !
Lol as Joe has been saying on here and James on the Celtic blog,for all this huffing and puffing about W***S sorry Yanks with the FAKEOVER, they keep saying they can’t get hold of W***S for an update on the situation the press that is,but there is someone right here Glasgow they could ask right now Donald Park,what’s your take on this,and they haven’t went near the guy,with quite a say when it comes to punting shares and the Yanks needing his to get a foot in the door,and nothing from them going near the guy.
Think I can smell shite,aye it’s definitely SHITE.
