Paraag Marathe ‘red flag’ emerges at Rangers amid shock Van Bronckhorst twist

Paraag Marathe is a cause of excitement for Rangers fans as he nears the completion of a takeover along with Andrew Cavenagh.

The Rangers faithful are hopeful that the imminent takeover by the US consortium involving 49ers Enterprises will put an end to the Light Blues’ struggles on and off the pitch in recent years.

Marathe has gained popularity in British football as the chairman of Leeds United, who have now earned promotion back to the Premier League under his supervision.

Therefore, there is a lot of enthusiasm over his impending arrival at Ibrox, although he may have sent a warning sign to the Gers already.

Rangers will be stunned by Giovanni van Bronckhorst development at Leeds

The 49ers are showing a lot of ambition at Leeds in the wake of their promotion to the Premier League.

Marathe and Co. want to make the Elland Road outfit a top-10 club in the top flight, according to The Guardian.

That is why the Whites are mulling over sacking Daniel Farke despite leading them back to the Premier League ahead of next season.

The newspaper reported via their website on Monday (28 April) that Marathe is flying in from San Francisco to hold talks with Farke over sacking him.

49ers Enterprises members have privately expressed concerns about the former Norwich boss due to his previous record in the Premier League.

In a shocking twist, Leeds have already sounded out Giovanni van Bronckhorst and two others over replacing Farke.

This development will send a few shivers down the spine of any Rangers fan, considering Van Bronckhorst was in charge of the Gers between November 2021 and November 2022.

The Dutch tactician has been without a managerial job since leaving Besiktas in November 2024.
