Was he worse than that White character?
Rangers could do with the 50 million wasted on the malicious prosecutions of the characters involved in “running” Rangers.

Who spent 50m? It sure wasn’t Rangers as they were totally insolvent. Think it was 3.9p in the pound creditors got when they went bust.

I can understand Green and his lackey being prosecuted as - just like Whyte - there was a perception they were lining their own pockets, but what was the rationale for arresting the administrators?Malicious Prosecution Scandal: Victim payouts to exceed £60m

The only rationale must have been a witch hunt by someone.
I don’t blame these people for looking for compensation but what a terrible waste of taxpayers money. No doubt those who made the wrong decision to prosecute these people suffered no consequences.

I'd be amazed if an NFL owner was interested in Scottish football. The NFL is a money printing machine and those guys are used to having huge profits every year. No way they would plough money into something that isn't going to give them a return, they are all capitalists that only see profit as the end goal.

It might be true but I don't think it's going to be what the Rangers fans think it will be.

The 49ers own Leeds. They are not big spenders. In the summer they spent 32m euros, and brought in 162m euros.
They didn't buy anyone in January. If they do take over Rangers, they won't be throwing money at them. It's more likely they will become a feeder club for Leeds.

Your first paragraph might be true.
Not so sure about the second one.

Perhaps the plan is for Rangers to become the feeder club for Leeds.

Or the other way round.

Probably not, Leeds in the EPL starts to turnover serious money.Or the other way round.

Only because of TV revenue and sponsorship. Rangers (& Celtic etc) are not benefiting from that.

Celtic and Rangers get nowhere near the TV revenue that their games shown on TV deserve.
Their away games are on tv every week and get good audiences no doubt.
But, they only get a slice of a paltry deal because it is an spfl contract with Sky.
If clubs could negotiate their own deals that could make a huge difference.

The bottom club in the EPL get more prize money than Celtic make in total and Celtic are at the max. Celtic will make more from Europe thus season than the total SPFL prize pot for all 42 clubs. In short if you want to make money in football it's in the EPL.
If the 49ers follow the trend on all the other multi club ownership models it will be to benefit their premier club.
I'm not saying Leeds are a bigger club than Rangers (I don't think they are) but the money they can make would eclipse anything a Scottish club could.
