the club is in advanced talks with 49ers Enterprises and healthcare tycoon Andrew Cavenagh for a takeover involving a controlling stake of at least 51%. Both Rangers and the prospective investors have issued a joint statement confirming ongoing “productive conversations” about the acquisition and future capital injection into the Scottish club.
The discussions reportedly began in October 2024, with a deal expected to be finalized ahead of the 2025/26 football season. The proposed takeover comes as Rangers grapple with financial challenges, including a net loss of £17.2 million reported in October.
49ers Enterprises, current owners of NFL team San Francisco 49ers and English club Leeds United, are valued at around £5.7 billion. Their sports investment credentials are bolstered by Leeds United’s recent promotion to the Premier League and ongoing plans to expand Elland Road stadium to a capacity of approximately 53,000 seats.
If completed, the Rangers acquisition would make them the second British club under the 49ers Enterprises umbrella, highlighting the group’s growing influence in global football.
For Rangers fans, this development brings hope for a brighter future, with the potential for increased investment and stability at the club. The involvement of experienced investors like 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh could provide the necessary resources to strengthen the team and improve performance on the pitch.
