What Ibrox chairman Andrew Cavenagh said as he addressed Rangers fans
On the day that John Gilligan, Dave King and Paul Murray were finally elected to the board 10 years ago – a move which successfully ousted a reviled hierarchy which comprised Mike Ashley associates Derek Llambias and Barry Leach – at an Extraordinary General Meeting there were jubilant scenes down Govan way. One Bear even turned up wearing a rat mask and holding a sign which read, 'Glasgow Airport is five miles. Rataway. Taxi for Ashley, Llambias, Leach.' There were no such unruly scenes, no animosity, at an EGM in the Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Glasgow city centre this morning as an important staging post in the successful £75m takeover by a consortium which comprises American health insurance billionaire Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises was reached. The duo's proposed £20m investment into Rangers was dependent on one ordinary resolution and three special resolutions being accepted by shareholders. It was all a formality. Still, with new chairman Cavenagh and vice-chairman Paraag Marathe in attendance and making themselves available to shareholders to answer questions there was a bumper turnout. The decision by the likes of John Bennett, Dave King, Douglas Park, and Barry Scott to sell part or all of their stakes to the Cavenagh-49ers Enterprises alliance met, after another wretched, trophyless season with the complete approval of the vast majority of supporters. Hopes are high things will be different on and off the park moving forward. The gathering proved to be a bit of a love-in. Chief executive Patrick Stewart, former chairman Fraser Thornton, vice-chairman Marathe, and chairman Cavenagh received a warm ovation from several hundred supporters when they took to the stage. Cavenagh stood and started with a quip about why he wasn't sitting as he spoke. "I figured it wasn't the right way to start this relationship with a low block," he said. He added, "Last October I got a phone call and I will never forget it. It changed my life. Would you and your group have an interest in investing in Rangers. I said, 'Absolutely'. "The breadth and depth of the passion is the number one thing I love about this club. No 2 is Ibrox. I think of it as our castle. It gives us a competitive advantage. It is a magical place to play. "Let me be clear about our ambitions. Our ambition is to win leagues and cups and do it in a financially self-sustaining manner. It is our goal to make sure that the club is in that position over the next 10 years. It is incredibly important that we continue to attract the best talent." Marathe said, "Our philosophy is pretty simple and it is - is about making data-based decisions. It has worked for us in different organisations and I believe it will work for us here." Rangers fan ad former MP Sir Brian Donohoe was , "I welcome the input of the 49ers consortium. I am a long-term shareholder of the club. I would ask that you would give the 49 per cent some respect. I still can't see where the 49 per cent of the shareholders are being represented in the Articles of Association." Cavenagh said, "There are so many supporters shareholders in the club and we think that is fantastic. We really value that. There are a couple of different ways the minority are protected. "In UK law there are certain things that can't happen unless 75 per cent agree. George Taylor and John Halstead will make sure the minority shareholders are represented. Our focus is on making sure the club has our resources." Resolution One dealt with the allotment of shares and effectively enables Cavanagh and the 49ers Enterprises to invest fresh capital in return for shares. Resolution Three and Resolution Four, meanwhile, concerned the move to a Limited Company and the new Articles of Association. Cavenagh confirmed that it is the new Rangers hierarchy's intention to continue to hold an AGM when they become a PLC and to continue to consult with the Rangers Fan Advisory Board. A fan asked if stadium expansion was something that would be considered. Marathe said, 'Right now our first priority is improving us on the pitch, that is the urgent priority. But absolutely. We have a tremendous supporter base. We have already been looking at different things from an expansion perspective." One fan then asked, "What players are we going to get? Are we going to get someone who can pass the ball to our centre forward." Marathe said, '"It is best for all of us that we keep our efforts private. Our goal is to make the club as successful as possible. That doesn't necessarily mean throwing money at it, it means being smarter, being more wise and building a plan for sustained success. We hope there are a lot of trophies and cups for us within our lifetime" Cavenagh stated, "This is not and will never be about me or about Paraag. Football decisions will be made by football people." One fan asked if the new board realised that Rangers would be under pressure to perform from their first game of the season. Marathe said, "Every manger is under pressure to win. We all feel it, Russell [manager Martin] feels it. There is no such thing as a honeymoon period in professional sports." Asked how much money Martin would have to spend on players this summer, Cavenagh said, "Echoing what Paraag said earlier, we will be as transparent as we can be. In other areas, we are going to be really opaque and this is one of those areas." One fan asked how Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises planned to monetise their investment. Cavenagh said, "I will give you a really blunt answer - we do not have an exit plan, we have a growth plan. We will figure out the exit plan once we have achieved the growth plan." One fan accused Rangers of being weak in their dealings with the SFA and referenced the fine the club were hit with for John Brown's comments on RTV about a disallowed goal at Easter Road last season. "You make a good point," said chief executive Stewart. "We have made two pretty forceful statements. We do believe what the SFA did is inconsistent. But we do need to work with the SFA. We will fight the fight when we think there is a clear case. We will stand our ground when it is justified." It was revealed that Marathe and Cavenagh will meet with the SPFL tomorrow and the latter said, "Working together with the other clubs is important."

US billionaire and Donald Trump's pal Woody Johnson to buy Crystal Palace stake
Woody Johnson is set to buy a 43 percent stake in FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, with the US billionaire a close friend of Donald Trump and already in control of the NFL's New York Jets New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is set to buy a stake in Crystal Palace after afreeing a £190million deal with John Textor. Textor holds a 43 percent stake in the Eagles, though that has caused them problems with UEFA. The American also controls Ligue 1 side Lyon, which has caused Palace to fall foul of UEFA's rules around multi-club ownership. Palace won the FA Cup this year and so qualified for the Europa League. Lyon also booked their place in that competition by finishing sixth in the French top-flight. Textor has since been trying to sell the stake in the Premier League club and now appears to have found a buyer. That comes in the form of the 78-year-old heir of the Johnson family that founded the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company. The deal is estimated to be worth £190m. It is still subject to Premier League approval, though an agreement has been reached between the two sides. Palace fans are set to welcome a fresh investor, though his history at the New York Jets may cause some concern. Johnson bought the Jets in 2000 but they have endured an awful time since then. They have not featured in the NFL's play-offs for 14 years, double the length of any other drought in the league. The Jets are currently on their eighth head coach since Johnson took control of the team. They finished with a 5-12 record last season, with only the New England Patriots having a worse record in their division. Their campaign was marred by frequent reports of a split between Johnson and star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was released at the end of the season. Aside from his time at the Jets, Johnson may be a familiar face to Premier League fans. He is understood to have made a £2billion bid to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich back in 2022 but missed out to Todd Boehly. Johnson also spent four years as the United States' ambassador to the United Kingdom during Donald Trump's first spell as president. He has known Trump for more than 30 years and acted as one of the Republican's six finance vice chairmen, responsible for an effort to raise $1billion on behalf of the first campaign. He then donated $1million to Trump's most recent bid for the presidency. According to BBC Sport, Johnson indicated he can transfer the funds to buy Palace quickly, which is believed to have been a crucial factor in why his offer moved to the front of the queue. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated Johnson's wealth at about £6.8bn in 2024. UEFA is expected to make a decision on whether Palace can participate in the Europa League by the end of June.

Rangers EGM vote revealed as Ibrox club plan £20million investment, new share issue and company switch
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S officially all systems to go for the new American-led era at Rangers. That's after the Ibrox club's new US owners' immediate plans were rubber-stamped at an EGM. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 New Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh Credit: Alamy 3 Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe is now also in a senior post at Ibrox Credit: Alamy 3 05.06.2025 Rangers FC press conference for new head coach Russell Martin: Russell Martin Credit: Willie Vass It was just a few weeks ago when the American consortium comprised of health insurance tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises sealed the deal to take over Rangers. After months of talks, the Gers announced at the end of May that it had all gone through, heralding the start of a new era for the Light Blues. Cavenagh was immediately installed as the club's new chairman with 49ers chief Paraag Marathe - who's also the Leeds United chairman - taking up the position of vice-chairman. The big changes continued with Kevin Thelwell quickly beginning work as sporting director before Russell Martin arrived as head coach the week after the takeover was officially done. Martin is working with the Gers squad for the first time today with the players back for pre-season training. With plenty of change in and around the club, fans are now keen to see new players come in the door sooner rather than later. And now, a big step forward to that becoming a reality has been confirmed. For the first time since taking the helm, Cavenagh and Marathe are in Scotland. They've headed for Glasgow where Rangers have been holding an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) this morning at the Double Tree by Hilton hotel in the city centre. The meeting saw several key resolutions voted on by the club's shareholders. Rangers captain James Tavernier spotted training with ex-team-mate and old Premiership rival Ryan Porteous who branded him 'bad loser' The biggest of those was to ratify the proposed £20million injection into the club. Immediately after the takeover was sealed, the new owners stated their intention to invest the £20m immediately and launch a new share issue - subject to shareholder approval. Top of the agenda, the resolution has been passed, alongside a second resolution that was directly linked to it. It means new boss Martin will now have the funds available to add to his squad. Time is of the essence in terms of squad strengthening with the Champions League qualifiers getting underway in a month's time. Rangers will take on Panathiniakos in the second qualifying round. The rubber-stamping of the investment wasn't the only thing on the agenda, however. One of the other resolutions voted on was to ratify Rangers' switch from PLC (public limited company) to a private limited company (LTD). Since 2012, the club have been operating as 'The Rangers International Football Club PLC.' Going forward, it will now be known as 'Rangers International Football Club Limited.' The shift to a limited company sees a change in the business structure and essentially gives the new owners an additional layer of control. It also means that any new shares cannot be offered publicly going forward. All resolutons passed with over 98% approval.
