Rangers and Arsenal were very close at one time and when Arsenal were in difficulty Rangers helped them out financially, can anyone explain why when we we're in difficulty ie 2012 Arsenal didn't reciprocate.

Because that was a long time ago and not the same people on the board.
We had shares in arsenal but am sure whyte or green sold them.

the charles green regime whisked away the two of arsenals original shares we possessed. worth a few bob. no answers despite questions as to what happened to them. given when rangers played a couple of games with them to save them from liquidation.

It wasn’t green it was white who told Sandy to fetch the shares and take copies of the, there are 200 I believe and the copies are still at ibrox.

SGL was it a fan? As I thought it was one of the major shareholders at the time it was the Russian that isn’t there anymore but could be wrong.

If my memory serves me correctly KJA9,it was a rich arsenal supporter who whyte sold our shares in arsenal to. He was a dirty scumbag b*****d that whyte as of course it was a gift from herbert chapman of arsenal many years ago, who was very friendly with bill struth 👍Herbert gave rangers the arsenal woolwich shares as a gift for helping them out with money difficulties a few years before 👍When Whyte sold the shares it actually reduced our greatest ranger john greig to tears, as those shares were one of our most treasured possessions we had at the club 😞.

Just looked it up SGL and I was right it was usmanov the Russian 2nd biggest arsenal shareholder at the time am sure he has nothing to do with arsenal anymore because the American wouldn’t sell his shares to him.

I think arsenal would have been better off going with the usmanov.

{Ed001's Note - he is with Everton now.}

Ed I new he went elsewhere as the American guy kronke? I think had more shares and usmanov ended up giving up on them.

{Ed001's Note - yeah Kroenke refused to sell so eventually Usmanov joined his employee Moshiri at Everton.}
