rbr

Just to be clear to those that dont get it , the spl dont own the european places , those are nominated by the SFA , if the spl fails do you think the european places dissappear with them

Thats why I also said there could be an opt in/opt out option ,I am also against certain people on the RST at present , however I still believe in the ideals od a RST

They had to pay in the past as they also recieved a share , most of the cost was I believe , brokers fees for buying the shares, these would no longer be part of the deal , just a straight forward RST membership , I believe the club would be open to this. Alternatively if there was a cost , and this may be controversial , there could be an opt in or opt out option to joining the trust at say a minimal fee of £2 just as an example , to cover any administrative fees incurred

Small idea to the RST guys , with the upcoming share issue and therefore the demise of the gersave scheme , as a way of increasing the trusts membership without additional costs , would it not be a better idea to give every season ticket holder an honorary membership to the trust , that way you are working with the club and gaining a far better spread of members , just an idea

I yet again have to agree 100% , the vast majority of guys in my work plus my friends , dont come any where near the internet forums . they just cant be arsed , some times you do get into a bubble believing the views in these sites are actually replicated out in the real woprld

I whole heartedly agree with you , however the apathy amongst Rangers supporters in general plus the infighting is just staggering,we always look to someone else to do what ever is needed .

Given the current state of the fans groups , and the division amongst the fans in general , would you really want a majority fan ownership model , I think not .

Totally agree with you , its the type of behaviour you commonly find from otherfans , but hey ho , the world it is a changing. As I have stated earlier far too many cannot differentiate between the Rangers of a few years ago and the present Rangers.

Bloody splitters

Just do what I did and implement the "ignore" function , its brilliant

How anyone can compare Berwick with yesterday is beyond me , far too many fans cannot seperate the Rangers of today and the Rangers of even last year, I blame the schools to be honest

The irony in all of this , is that until the club are back on an even keel , playing in a better league with money to invest then this whole debate is pointless really , just remember back to PLG and minty's moonbeams well we ended up with Karl Svennson et all . We are where we are at present and nothing will be done untill well after the share floatation IMHO, as much as the manager must shoulder the blame so do the players , because that is all we have so get used to it

Not trying to answer for Zappa , but what I believe he is meaning , is that when large fund managers or say pension funds buy large blocks of shares , it leaves the small shareholder powerless , in much the same way we were under Murray when he held his 92% or what ever it was . You are seeing it more in the news now a days when shareholders are trying to vote down salary/bonus increases for directors , the vast majority of the time the funds back the board

I blogged last night on CoplandRoad.org about yesterday’s disastrous result for Rangers against Stirling Albion. Some are already describing it as the worst result in Rangers’ history. In today’s papers Ally McCoist is saying that he is not embarrassed by the result, just disappointed. He maybe has to say that to be diplomatic but if he really thinks it, that explains why Rangers are in so much trouble. Teams who play Rangers expect a mindset from the Ibrox club. That mindset is the ruthless determination to crush all opposition. It is the mindset of winners, of champions. It is the mindset of the Barcelonas and the Man Utds. To have anything less than this attitude as a Rangers player or manager is to cheat your opposition, your own club and its fans and the sport of football in general. People expect the big club to do some stomping. Making friends in the lower divisions will not come by being nice guys on the field of play. The teams Rangers are facing are quite happy to go toe-to-toe with Rangers, even if they get beat 6-0. They will give of their best because it’s their big day in football to face the Mighty Rangers. That’s the game and each must play his part. Only Rangers aren’t. Rangers players are too cosseted in their millionaire surroundings to mix it with the rough lads in the smaller teams. The problem is that the young Rangers lads coming through are still being treated as wee boys. In smaller teams they would be expected to man up much faster than they are at Rangers. In a nutshell, Ally McCoist and his backroom staff are just not doing the business. They are not putting players on the park with the necessary motivation and tactical direction that gets results. In the lowest tier of our senior game. All the good work done to raise Rangers from the ruinous state the club was left in by Murray and Whyte is frankly being undone due to the worst performances and string of results in Rangers’ history. That is the inescapable reality this morning. And it is not helped by the infighting and bitching of the various Rangers supporters groups that is presently taking place in the background. Whilst it is true that every football club has factions at odds with each other, the propensity of Rangers fans to bicker and split is off the charts compared to most clubs. Rangers Football Club is in a transitional place right now. What is needed for the club to go forward is a united front. The tragedy is that Rangers fans are divided this morning – divided over reconstruction, divided over boycotts, divided over other differences. And now divided over who should manage the team. As I said in my Copland Road blog, the Rangers Revival Train has well and truly hit the buffers, at least on the field of play. The repercussions of Rangers failing miserably to dominate teams in the lower divisions could have serious and long-lasting consequences. Anyone who remembers the dark days of the early 1980s will know what I am talking about. The history of football is replete with big teams going into obscurity. Anyone who doubts this could happen to Rangers should watch a compilation DVD of some games between last season and this. These are definitely troubling times for those who follow the famous Glasgow Rangers. Yet hope springs eternal if you are a bluenose. Hope, of course, is symbolised by the emblem of an anchor. This may bring back memories for those who were brought up in the Boys Brigade: We have an anchor that keeps the soul. Rangers fans should remind themselves of this during these stormy times. And also that, regardless of whether or not Ally McCoist continues in the Rangers’ dugout in the future, during the terrible tempests of the last few months, Coisty was the sure and steadfast anchor for the club and its fans. That’s the thing about anchors. They are designed to not do walking away. Super Ally would not desert the club he loves. Neither will Rangers or its fans cast him adrift. Maybe a different role at the club would be better for Coisty, a role where he can be an ambassador and fight wider battles on behalf of the Gers. That is the tough decision he and Charles Green will have to make between them. I’m only glad I am suggesting it here on my laptop and not to Super in person.

His team selections and tactics were never questioned when he took the teams before to league cup finals and scottish cup finals , or do you think walter was just kidding on when he said Ally was in charge of those , also how exactly do you know his training methods are rubbish , I hate these scatter gun posts that you throw out , thank god for the ignore button

plgsarmy , I have been quite impressed with Green , however at times he lets his mouth run away with itself and declares things as done well before they actually are , the addidas deal as an example , here's hoping what they have planned come to fruition

Considering the state we were in and the SFL requirement on squad size , not much to be honest . We still have 5 players registered which affected our ability to strengthen , howeverI did expect us to play much much better especially away from home .

dont even know where to start with that ,what a stupid statement

We are so insular when it comes to this , the stadium where we play will always be IBROX to me ,however if some company wants to pay millions and in doing so we get better players on the park inside IBROX , then bring it on

Thats not true , the whole squad had a meeting at the end of september to deal with a whole raft of rumours that were flying aroung , and that is straight from a player who was there .

cant wait , leaving in half an hour , bring it on

Absolutely brilliant read

Another great addition to the gersnet family

No but after 102 pages of the same thing it definetly points to a strong disliking , no , lol

101 pages of I hate Ally more than you do ,no no I pure hate him more and ma daddies bigger than yours , what a hoot
