What the hell were you doing with your other hand

I believe the club are making an announcement tomorrow on this ,or at the Stirling game

Yet this is the guy who was described by Neil Doncaster as a " low level paper collector "

Graham Spiers told an even more blatant lie , attempting to cover up the first whopper about " cheating " , he stated he was always talking in regards to the little tax case , now considering some of his tweets were dated in January and the little tax case never first appeared until May , how the hell would he have known about it . This was when the £2.8 million liability first came out and when SDM dropped his price to £1 to allow the deal to go through

Gunslinger that bid was put to the administrators less than 10 minutes after we had already gone , it was a pathetic move by Smith and MccColl and one I wont ever forgive them for , cowardly at best and never seriously considered by any one , it was only done for show IMHO

The funniest thing was the desperation in Jim Spences voice trying to find out if Rangers were to be invited in

At this moment in time when a certain person looks back at the events of the summer and where Rangers are now one man more than most will be feeling major pangs of regret at the outcome of events and of how uncharacteristically for him he allowed things to squirm from out of the clutches of the small group that he not only influences but controls. As he sees a Rangers support re-energisied ( to a point ) fully backing their team in great numbers , with a new board appearing from the ashes of the past , an IPO which apparently is looking like being a great success , and the leagues under which Rangers now find themselves going from strength to strength. Infact so much so that they are about to announce for the first time an SFL dedicated tv deal . Yes this lonely man looks around his beloved Porkheid at its half empty stands , as his beloved Gween Bwigade are about to start a two game boycott ( yes I know you couldnt make it up ) of their own club , he must think how did I let it get to this , because lets face it Peter Lawell has royall fecked up , now before anyone starts thinking that i,m on the drink let me explain . 1. As everyone knows we are out of europe for 3 years due to non fullfillment of company accounts , so no revenue their,making it difficult to keep our better players and higher wage earners . 2. We had imposed upon us an illegal registration embargo , a confiscation of prize money won ,and are still to see the outcome of the discredited and totally corrupt investigation by Celtic/Harper Mackenzie/SPL into the EBT situation. 3.We were allowed to slip out of the jurastiction of the SPL and into the realms of the SFL , but wait we were only meant to go into the SFL 1st division , but those pesky SFL Chairmen refused to play ball , refused to be bullied and allowed Rangers(and their fans) their wish to start again in the SFL 3rd division. This is where it all fell apart for Lawell, he lost control for the first time and in so doing couldn,t set the agenda , the SPL crowds are down , the SPL tv deal wont be renewed whilst Rangers aren,t part of it , infact the SFL games involving us are not only outsrtripping Celtics games they are amongst the top 10 highest viewed for sky this season so far . The SFL have in David Longmuir a man who holds the value of all his clubs and his organisation to be paramount and in fact the whole of the game in general , where as the useful idiots of Doncaster and Regan can only see 2 inches infront of their faces ,when other idiots like Roger Hannah start coming out with the drivel that he did today ( in comparing the state of our game to the financial money making EPl) you know the games a bogey . So to get back to my point where now we have time , a degree of latitude in team rebuilding , the managerial issue( because I realise this issue is still very much in the minds of a large percentage of the support), and the financial room to actually reappear in a much healthier position , the opposite could have played out . If Lawell had been smarter , he would have kept us under the SPL,s control with all sorts of penalties ,( infact Walter Smith even came out and said we should have stayed and had points deductiobns for a few seasons ), we would still have had the illegal registration embargo , still a weakened team and would probably have been getting beaten on a more regular interval which would have led to unrest and probably managerial changes , it would have kept the club on a back foot and kept the degree of pessimism which has hovered over us for the last good few years. We will return , stronger , with a sense of purpose , re-energised with a whole new support ( the old and the new who have come back to see the Rangers) and all the while one man will forever have a deep deep sense of regret at what might have been .

just a very stupid comparison from a very thick and not the brighhtest card in the deck journo . Hannah is another of yesterdays men and that piece only shows how out of touch he really is .

When under the old guard and with the jjb deal in place our turnover was circa £40 odd million give or take a couple of million , that would give you a wage bill of approx £13 pa , almost double what we have now. Given that everyone who has posted on the jjb deal have consistently posted that £5 million net profit equates to approx £20-25 million of turnover , which would raise out turnover to £60-65 million approx and a wage bill of approx £20-22 million , now if anyone tells me that with proper scouting and a decent sized squad we wouldnt be able to win the league then I think they are nuts , and these figures are all before any growth across any of our present deals , such as kit deals , shirt sponsorship , stadium advertising etc etc Also all of the above is without any european revenue , it will be at least 3 years before we get that either. Just noticed on the official site about the game being on RTV at £5.99 in the UK and abroad at the same price , now I know we all have and possibly do use illegal streams , however if a conservative amount of fans worldwide pay this , even , it could bring in an amazing amount of cash

But that simply isnt true , as I posted earlier Le Guens ideas on diet rehydration were flawed , fundamentaly , also hie record after leaving us shows how poor a coach he actually was

I think this is only part of a presentation for institutional investors , this is not the IPO document that is getting sent out

Totally agree with Gunslinger , there is absolutely no need for a dividend to be paid out , given the enormous amount of shares being offered , this dividend for normal shareholders is buttons

However the spectre of MD being anywhere near this will put supporters off , and the sooner the RST wises up to that fact the better

For all my criticism of the RST leadership and certain individuals , thats a brilliant advert

No , there is no agreement yet with Everton , nor SION

I used to stay in Partick and used to go along to the West of Scotland Cricket club to watch them train, well play 5 a sides for 20 minutes then bugger off back to Ibrox in the worst wee minibus youve ever seen . Anyway I remember to this day seeing Jardel appear lumber about , looking miserable and rotten , only later did it all come out that he had a gash right along his foot , ah well never mind you win some you lose some

Dont see what the big deal over the Albion is , pay £300,000 per year for another 11 years ,£3,300,000 or buy it now for £1.3 million , hmmm hardly rocket science

CG must be laughing all the wat to the bank at all the home draws we are getting , there is no way he could or would have budgeted for as many

Now we have a licence , now we have membership to the SFL now we have a great deal of leverage , before we had nothing , they had us over a barrel but if you and fans like you want to remember things differently then thats your perogative. I didnt fancy being put out of football completely for at least a year and dont think Green had much option , infact I actually think he showed some real balls by taking us down to the 3rd

Just Remember we didnt bring him through , Killie fucked up and we managed to get him , hes only 17 not the messiah just a very talented young player , lets all breath dont go all John Fleck on him and just let him mature

We probably did but we cannot get around the sfl quota on players

Do you know Gunslinger I was over the moon when we appointed PLG , I couldnt believe that we could attract anyone with his pedigree and standing to Ibrox ,however very quickly after his arrival a very good friend on the staff was telling me he was absolutely out his depths. His coaching and his backroom staff were useless ,his attention to nutrition and rehydration were against all known medical practises at that time as water was the only fluid allowed . What PLG has achieved after he left us has backed this up ,he has failed in every single role he has taken up . We need a young coach with his own thoughts and football philosiphy , someone who is not constrained by "the Rangers way " winning is ultimately important but the next3 years are vital. Ally will be here at least till next summer and the IPO is out of the way , anyone who thinks he is going to get sacked is deluded

Where has all the " lost the dressing room stuff come from " or is it yet another internet rumour now appearing as fact

Agree 100% , there was a debate a few years ago on talksport on coaching badges , the reason most went to largs was because of the speed and ease in gaining your UEFA licence , virtually no foreigners go to largs any more

That was basically I havent a bloody clue type post , followed by the ever original ,but I,m not in charge at Ibrox , or I,m not paid to make those types of decisions . Attention seeking at its worst , always moaning never anything constructive and whats worse there are a few of them on here now
