He puts money into the Club, Charlie takes it out.

I didn't know Airdrie was open on a Friday!

No one has ever alleged that Desmond has been involved in violence

A strange decision - give someone a new contract and try and get him out of the door a few months later.

I don't see what the Eadales bring to this at all, they may be successful businessmen in Greenock, but according to posters elsewhere their net assets are pretty small beer. They are heavily mortgaged.

why "oh dear" those were the very words used by d & p

It was an auction - they got outbid by Whyte's "chosen one" - that is in the public domain.

They lost a rigged auction - doesn't mean they deserve all the abuse they get.

The real Rangers men that you are so dismissive of, did offer for the Club, Zeus consortium offered a little more, though it is arguable that when you take into account all the different factors in the deal, there wasn't a lot in it. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't be pulling all the money out of the club that Green and his associates are. Perhaps Green's greatest (only?) victory is in the field of propaganda - he has been able to damage the reputation of the rival bidders. We also now know that no one else but Green was going to get the Club, if a CVA had been successful Whyte was not going to deal with anyone else but Green and his group.

to quote Grease - Tell me more!

These guys are all quite capable of shafting each other when it suits them. Didn't some of the tapes suggest that Imran and Stockbridge were ready to dump Green if it was in their interests.

he was in charge for a year, surely he should have been doing something about cutting costs during that time, instead of awarding himself, Amran and Stockbridge inflated packages, paying non exec Directors inflated fees and not renegotiating the football Managers salary.

Does it matter if he's any good? - he's a pal of McCoist!

They must have saved some money by paying him off,

It's a free country, they are entitled to express their opinion, so long as they do it peaceably and within the law. Hundreds of Thousands of servicemen fought and died to preserve that right.

Once 10 of his members announced they would be leaving no matter what.....he had no leverage.

what exactly is wrong with being conscious of our failings? what is wrong with being unpretentious? It also means "modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful." Which would be a good thing - lets do our talking on the park and have a quiet confidence off the park.

Some folk should let go the paranoia for a while, the board was democratically elected by the clubs. They must think these are the best people for the job , I doubt they were elected for their ability to wind up Rangers Fans. I don't see anything wrong with Mather's statement.

Articles like this are designed to provoke a reaction, telling him to go home and and all that sort of silly nonsense just reinforces the image of Rangers Supporters as being a bunch of aggressive morons. It is completely counterproductive. The articles on CRO and Rangers Standard use facts to expose English's inaccuracies and are much more effective. Tweeting abuse at English serves his purpose and drowns out the more sensible voices that use his own weapons against him - words.

our coaches have been a problem for years

If I remember rightly, wasn't English still writing about Whyte sympathetically, when other media had sussed him out?

English is twisting things,No one is asking for Hearts to be punished for things they haven't done, no one is asking for Dunfermilne to be punished for things they haven't done, All three Clubs have suffered an insolvency event, Rangers got fined, Dunfermilne didn't get fined, and the suggestion now is that Hearts shouldn't be fined either. We just asking for consistency, in so far as the situations are the same ,then clubs should be treated the same.

I don't want to sound heartless, but should we really be giving a contract to someone who is always injured?

It may be my memory is playing tricks on me, but wasn't there talk at the time of this guy having a connection with Green?
