That's the biggest problem Frankie , as these things amble on and we are told to be patient , rumours on internet web pages go from being just that,rumours , to being heralded as 100% true . My mate has heard absolutely nada in the last few weeks , now me being of a glass half full guy , well today anyway , leads me to believe that things are progressing well and negotiations are going according to plan , however tomorrow I will probably be wee darkcloud again and that in fact there is no consortium and we are all kidding ourselves and the continual downsizing of our once great club will continue . I really dont know what to think , god bless red wine !!!!
-
It's starting to get really stupid , this arguement that they are negotiating over a few million , and I mean a few with reports coming that Lloyds will accept high 20's yet this consortium offering low 20's , now taking mid ground we can only be talking �£5million , so I dont care what anyone says if this is what is stopping this deal going through I am actually more worried about the ability of any group to take us forward if they are arguing over what is in football terms a very small amount. Yesterday there was also a big stushie on FF after some remarks about how the debt and share's were or rather would be repaid , I dont want to get into personalities but it was a massive grenade that caused all sorts of arguements , and these guys are meant to be in the know !!!!!

I would love to have a look on VB but they keep loody banning me !! AHHHHHHH

Unfortunately I am beginning to think that because of our current predicament squad and financially wise we will never see the best of Fleck , if you compare the team Ferguson was allowed to mature into with this squad he will really struggle , hope I am wrong
-
After the thread on this promising young player a few weeks ago , does anyone think that after playing in his best position , just behind the striker ,that they might have jumped the gun a bit . I certainly thought he had blown it after getting continually overlooked but yesterday I thought he was really composed , rarely wasted a ball and was very unlucky on a few occasions , thoughts !!

That game sums up why an african team wont win the world cup , great going forward rotten at the back ie goalies are rubbish
-
Let's just hope we can get through this game and really put the pressure on the manky mob , as there will be more press pressure next week as the Record are furious that Mowbary has carried on with the lying quotes when he knows full well he is in the wrong , and it may be them that consult lawyers

The Takeover of Rangers - Clarity and Leadership Required
rbr replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Absolutely brilliant , possibly the best summary of our present predicament ever :) -
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/jan/17/premier-league-owners Only a matter of time before this blows up , and why many want us to go down to this over hyped overpaid league is beyond me , hope Platini gets this through

This next bit I lifted from FF , the poster sccgers has been scarely good unfortunately and I have had a few pm with hi , he really nows his stuff . They forced the appointment of Muir onto Murray They forced Murray out the door - Tried to sack Bain and had a plan to oust the management all to save cash - The playing squad is to be cut to just 14 (FOURTEEN) first team players with the rest made up as youths They have slapped a transfer embargo on us, albeit bent only slightly to sign Rothen They have blocked us re-signing players which will cost us our best players The gudelines they have set are so downsizing we can't possibly go on and compete in years to come They have rejected a takeover big demanding they get full return of all the debt owed - every other business takeover hits a loss of around 40p in the �£1 - not Rangers, they are strangling us for every single bit One example of the Bank and Muir : (I have posted this before as has BB) The bank SACKED Martin Bain and Walter Smith/Management tendered their resignation in protest This was days before our Euro game against Seville and home to Hibs They backed down when they realised how we would react This isn't just bollocks and hear say - this is it in cold hard facts - The stuff they outlined is just ****ing scary

Dont bring me into this , seriously though from what I was told Lloyds have effective control over our future and Murray has no say in what direction we take . If a buyer meets LLoyds price whether that be the debt level or whatever then they get the club lock stock . Several RST board members have also stated this as well , whether this is actually the case only time will tell , I also have similar concerns over the shares as I have quite a few though in the bigger picture this means nothing . However with regards to Murray's other companies they are in serious trouble with one friend who is a senior surveyor of over 30 years in the "trade" stating he is amazed they have survived till now such is their debt .
-
The fact that Jackson also has the conversation taped will no doubt help chrystalize the minds of the celtic board , the word seems to be that Broonaldo sees this as a chance or rather his agent sees a wee opportunity . if it causes them pain and suffering then bring it on
-
No mate I 100% haven't been told who it is , honestly
-
Who ever is behind this group or even involved are keeping themselves very well protected , and are quite happy for King's name and Murray's name (paul that is ) being used . They are very happy and content with the progress they are making as they believe , in fact they have the support of the present Chairman and management team , have you ever heard anything negative being said or directed at anyone except Lloyd's . What kind of club we have after this , I dont know I will just be thankful we have a club at all to be honest
-
Even Murray's prize puppet Traynor has done a job for us today in what was a surpisingly fair article , mind you he is also very very pally with another of our management team !!!!!!
-
I keep saying there will be much more negative press over the next few weeks , please treat it with a pinch of salt everyone
-
Listen guys I honestly dont have any concrete info , but what I have been told is that there will be a lot , an awful lot , of negative stories coming out and that I should ignore it . Boyd has told Smith he wants to stay , in fact all the players know what is happening and that's one reason not one player has been in the papers crying about new deals , in fact there has been no talk bar winning games . Whoever is behind this consortium and yes I 100% believe that it will happen , is playing it very well and our present management team seem to be totally intune , Muir keeps getting mentioned in nothing but negatives and I have been told that the pressure seems to be getting results . I know only this honestly , but the guy who is one of my best friends of over 26 years doesn't bullshit , and is in a position where he is very rarely wrong , dont get me wrong he doesn't know signing targets or on speed dial to players but is in a position that he has to know certain info before it can be released , hopefully I will know more next week . I should also point out he told me weeks before it got out about Scot Brown having met and agreed a deal with us , only for that deal to go pear shape , oh how I really enjoyed being slaughtered for that wee exclusive
-
Told you dont panic as much as I have critiscized Wattie for in the past he is playing a blinder just now , everyone just calm down
-
correct but I am just being realistic considering our present squad strength
-
Add in the fact they are away to ST J , home to Hibs on a wednesday night and then away to Hamilton , if we can emerge with even back to 7 points then it would be a very good month
-
If the truth came out about the majority of professional players , they would have to open a special sex court for the spl alone , in fact it wasn't that long ago that 4 players from 2 different teams rattled a bird senseless in the toilets of a well known club .
-
Dont let everything that comes out in the next few weeks freak you out too much , there will be a lot of very worrying headlines over the next wee while . Hoefully none that involve the really important stuff ie results on the field . The off field things will take care of themselves
-
Also what I forgot to say was that last week was the first time in a very very long time that certain newspaper editor's faced down legal challenges and threats by LLoyds legal team such was the 100% certainty in their source on certain stories , so much so that LLoyd's were made to look very stupid when the truth came out.
-
All I know is that the present management are not working in isolation and that all parties involved have been fully kept up to speed , that includes the players out of contract , our present management team and certain individuals interested in our betterment , against this we have Donald Muir and Lloyds who to say the least are not best pleased at developments and especially press stories that have been leaked and more will come out in the next couple of weeks . I have no idea over time scales just that things have been happening and the Duffy story whilst I was very cynical and critical of the RST 's part in it , it appears from what I have been told , that it more than hit it's intended target . When I hear more I will let you know , but things dont appear to be as bad as we all feared , well as I feared anyway .
