Merlin may indeed be off his medication but he is certainly on something.

It was on FF and published in the Daily Record (if I remember correctly). Seems there is nothing new in this so far. Why are VB releasing their new information(if it is) in dribs and drabs?

Did anyone spot David Longmuir at game today? Wonder why he was there?

Oh dear indeed.:laugh2:

Can anyone confirm?

Steven Whittaker - no regrets about quitting Rangers

The very fact that these rats found new clubs very quickly proves you wrong IMO. -

Nobody expected any of the so called star players to play in the 3rd division. What we did expect was a bit of loyalty, sign over and let the club acquire the reduced transfer fees that were in their contracts. Whitaker is a piece of shit , I wish him and the others nothing but bad luck. -
"We note with interest the comments of David Somers in the press regarding the proposed sale and leaseback of Murray Park. We would question why it is Mr Somers, and not the CEO Graham Wallace, who is making this response on behalf of the board? The phrase "plausible deniability" springs to mind. Whilst the response of Mr Somers is a fascinating insight into his "mindset" we are more interested in unequivocal, legally binding statements from the PLC board. We note these are still not forthcoming for either Ibrox or Murray Park. Mr Somers stated at the AGM that he was not against debt as long as it was 'cheap' debt. It was clear that his "mindset" at that time was that 'expensive' debt was not acceptable. Weeks later the board agreed to take extremely expensive debt from Laxey in a move which was only thwarted by fans. We are therefore not inclined to take too much heed of Mr Somers "mindset" at any given time. However, since Mr Somers appears to be the designated spokesman for the board on this topic perhaps he can clarify some more specific matters: Is Mr Somers denying that Mr Wallace and Mr Stockbridge discussed raising finance using the assets of the club as early as a few days after the AGM in December 2013, at which Mr Wallace stated the club had "enough cash for the near term"? Is Mr Somers denying that this would have been done had the asset finance not fallen through? Is Mr Somers denying that Mr Wallace and Mr Stockbridge specifically discussed raising finance using Murray Park? Is Mr Somers denying that Mr Wallace and Mr Stockbridge discussed using board relationships to raise finance against the club's property assets including some of Mr SomersÂ’ own relationships? Is Mr Somers denying that although this use of Murray Park to raise finance was not actioned at the time it was discussed that it could be used at a later date? Perhaps Mr Somers feels that two Executive directors of the Rangers board discussing raising finance on Murray Park does not constitute "board discussions"? We would disagree and remind Mr Somers of his focus on board collective responsibility when he was defending Mr Stockbridge's appalling performance at the AGM. Once again we would ask this board to stop engaging in half-truths, pedantry and wordplay and tell fans the truth."

Letter sent to Rangers CEO Graham Wallace As we previously communicated with you, we contacted Graham Wallace in June requesting whether he still agreed over the "importance for clubs with ambition to own their own stadium and training centre". Sadly, we received no response so this week we have sent further correspondence to Mr Wallace. This is as follows: Dear Mr Wallace, Season Ticket Sales and the Future of Auchenhowie We note we have yet to receive a response to our email of 10/06/14 (copied below), and again write to express our concerns in regards to the above. Season ticket sales appear to be very disappointing, which is astonishing given that this season could see us return to the top flight, and will involve some potentially excellent matches against Hibs and Hearts, in what will generally be a much more competitive league. This is surely a reflection on how the fans view the performance of the board, and in particular, a reflection on some very real concerns fans have over the future of Ibrox and our training ground at Auchenhowie. We note the recent statement by the board as regards Ibrox, however, rumours continue to persist that the board are in the process of using Auchenhowie to raise funds in some way to bridge the gap left by the very disappointing level of season ticket renewals. As you are no doubt aware, the training complex is viewed as a symbol of the future by Rangers fans, and disposing of this asset in any way is likely to be counterproductive as it would lead to further disillusionment and detachment of the fans - who, it should be remembered, contributed significantly to the cost of the facility. We would therefore urge you to end this downward spiral and clarify how the board plan to address the apparent lack of confidence which the fans appear to have in them, and thus, hopefully, increase the level of season ticket renewals. We would hope an increase in season ticket uptake to a more realistic level would obviate the need for the board to resort to disposing of vital assets. We note that the first responsibility of the board is to the company and not to any individual or group of shareholders. With this in mind, you will recall the board's recent attempt to raise short term funding via a major shareholder, and that The RST was able to assist in procuring a significantly more beneficial deal for the company. Can you therefore confirm that we will be afforded a similar opportunity to obtain a better deal for the company should the board fail to raise season ticket sales and have to resort to using Auchenhowie to raise finance? We hope you will understand our concerns and the urgent need for a response. We will update members with any response we received.

They should ask for £25 reduction in ST price. I'm sure that will be well received by the guys in control.
-
All that for less than £25 what a bargain. Plus you can stand & vote in the talking shop elections, hawd me back.
-
If you believe that this mob will give DK any influence in our club you have not been paying attention.
-
Not too sure about that. Poor preseason plus first couple of games on Monday night & Sunday afternoon may turn some off.

From club website today. THE Board of Rangers Football Club ('the Club') has been asked in the past several weeks to confirm once again that the Club will not grant security over Ibrox to any organisation during the upcoming football season. The Board is happy to reaffirm its position, which has never been a matter of debate, by confirming once again that it will not enter into any form of sale, securitisation or leaseback of Ibrox Stadium. This has been and still remains the Board’s clear and consistent position on this subject as it continues to protect and enhance the assets of the Club. The Board of Rangers Football Club is committed to protecting the assets of the Club for the benefit of all Rangers fans, and to adhering to the highest standards of corporate governance. Season Ticket sales are continuing throughout the next few weeks ahead of the start of the season and we are grateful to the thousands of supporters who have already bought for the 2014/15 campaign. Events over the past few weeks have reminded everybody of the remarkably testing period our incredible supporters have been through in recent years and now is the time for us all to look forwards, together.

The board have shown no evidence that they have the capabilities to lead the club anywhere. They are proven liars.

7 posts and he's not on here criticising the SOS.

This is a "company union" proposal. Most well known fans representatives are ineligible for this phoney set up.

Spill the beans.

Due to the unbelievable interest in the numbers expected to attend Saturdays March we would like to extend an invitation to ANY willing volunteers both experienced and unexperienced to sign up as additional marshals to allow ourselves to more than fully facilitate the smooth running and safety of all marchers. Signing up details can be found on sonsofstruth.co.uk. Approx 30-50 additional marshals would be more than adequate. Would all marshals please muster @ Cornwall St, Kinning Park no later than 13.45 for briefing & instructions. Kind Regards Sandy Sons of Struth

I'll be there.

Ally McCoist and Rangers: Time for some home truths
BEARGER replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
McCoist is the poorest manager in my time following Rangers, possibly the poorest in clubs history. -
McCoist in tomorrow's Scottish Daily Mail: ‘The sad thing is that, in our country, our vindication will stick in some people’s throats.' McCoist in tomorrow's Scottish Daily Mail: I will never forget some of the things which have been said and done to our club.' #Rangers

GR comes across as bit of a phoney to me. Heard him being interviewed on Talksport etc. and he never mentions Rangers.

Well that puts an end to the Hearts game full house nonsense.
