[OLD THREAD] Takeover finalised (Press Conf 2pm)

Watch out pilgrims im going take you down in the Prem league

Very much relieved and happy after the press conference.

Gillett looks enthusiastic and spoke well. Hicks obviously isn't the best public speaker like his pal dubyah. But his track record with the Stars and Rangers is positive.

I think everyone should be happy. We now have 2 legit businessmen running the club who can take the club to the next level, especially off the field in terms of marketing and merchandise. It's been desperately needed for years. I'm confident they'll do this for us.

The biggest positives for me; NO GROUNDSHARE. Money for Rafa. And most importantly they bought the club without debt.

Also liked it when Gillett said he'd get lynched if he discussed groundsharing, and called Benitez "Rafa". Nice.

But only time will tell of course if they'll do well. I'm just glad it's all over. Onwards and Upwards.

So we've sold our souls to the American's eh? You wouldn't hear Chelsea selling their beloved, trophy laden, historic club to a foreign businessman would you?

So we've sold to clever American business types, you've sold out a long long time ago. BITTER CHAVSKI GITS!

Does anyone know if Kurtangle believes 'it' yet?

And if so, is he flouncing, full of joy, around the highlands in his birthday suit?

The sig has now changed! I'm happy about it and I think that todays news is a major step in the right direction. I'm not dancing around naked though. It's far to cold for that!
