  1. B*****d........now you appologise!!!! I'm just out of post op. For further info, you don't get as much as you think for a kidney - £75 if your lucky. Don't worry though I topped it up with a lung & my spleen - £150 for the cause. The wife & wean are booked in for next week. :cheers: Note: There is a 2nd T in my username!!!! DarthTer
  2. King previously stated in an interview (link provided previously) that he was putting the £30m in himself - no mention of his cash being a fallback option....it was coming out his pocket!!! Now he saying he hopes the £30m comes from others. His story HAS changed. If this was the board they would be getting branded as liars, but since it's King it's fine. Why is that difficult for folk to see. King is not saying that he won't invest, but his position HAS changed from what he first stated.
  3. £30m or £30....King clearly stated in an interview that was was looking to invest out of his own pocket. Now he's saying he's wanting other folk to invest the cash - how much is he actually going to pit in??? If I had £50k of £30m sitting "spare" in an account I would invest it in the club, but unfortunately I don't. Everyone is wanting the board to be transparent and clear about their plans etc....yet DK keeps changing his story, and folk seem quite happy with that.....
  4. Boyd & Clark could have potential....throw in a couple of pacey wingers & we're sorted
  5. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2588429/Dave-King-commit-30m-ensure-Rangers-return-Scottish-Premiership.html#ixzz2wvUtuM76 According to the direct quotes in the above article....DK states he is willing to invest up to £30m of his own cash into the club....no mention about doing it as a last resort or of no-one will. £30m of his own & £20m from other sources. DK has changed his tune, or lied depending on how you want to view it. No weird way of looking at it.....
  6. I would keep Hegarty....thought he had done well @ CB. Paired with Faure would be pretty decent.
  7. The season has been a success from the point of view that we gained promotion....the unbeaten run has been good, but I wouldn't describe it as success, mainly due to the manner that we have achieved it. If he had won the Ramsden's cup or even better, the Scottish cup, he would have more of a case....
  8. As someone else mentioned, a Q&A once the review is published is a must!!!
  9. In general, the names mentioned are too old. I would probably take Boys & Gunning from that list. They need to be looking else where, bring in some unknowns from outwith the Scottish game.
  10. Obviously for various reason specific detail will not be divulged, however I see no problem say something like "we plan to bring in £xxm through sponsorship, sales, etc". Including a breakdown of where the investment is coming from. Providing the numbers are obtainable, there shouldn't be an issue. The key thing is an achievable plan for the next 1, 3 & 5 years - both from a business stance & a playing stance.
  11. DK doesn't want to spend his cash, but want all the rewards..... He initially told the support he didn't want to give his money to anyone other than the club ie. didn't want to pay shareholders for their shares. He then told everyone that he had £30m to invest....he's now said that the £30m will only be as a last resort - he'd prefer others to raise the money. He doesn't want to open his wallet, but is happy to run his mouth off about the current board etc.... As for DK having any shares....i think if he had any, we would know about it.... McColl said he had shares, just not significant amount.
  12. The deal has been announced to the stock market, but I don't think the actual Details need to be....
  13. Police Scotland reporting that a large number of smartphones were stolen on Saturday afternoon. It is believed that all these smartphone were logged into various social networks at the time. Seriously, why would anyone bring the guys 11-year old into things....
  14. Us fearing other teams isn't the biggest problem....its other teams don't fear us or playing @ Ibrox. Other teams know exactly how we'll play and believe they have a chance against us to take points.
  15. I don't think it will be a Great deal, but would expect it to be better than the current one. We are not in the strongest of bargaining positions are the moment.
  16. DK previously stated (possibly as public fact) that he had £30m to invest, with a further £20m from other sources.....from my recollection, there was never any comment about only doing it if he had to. so based on common thinking has is an out & out liar!!!! He also stated the the chairman told him that the review would be out AFTER ST renewals. He's now changed that to after many have renewed - so that makes him a LIAR.
  17. I'm quite happy about the change of sponsor. Will they be able to put it on junior tops? Always thought it was a kinda missed opportunity with regard to the overall sponsorship deal ie only able to put the sponsors name on a portion of tops sold.
  18. I think Ally should put his hands up & say it's time to move onto pastures new - never happen though. I think he has done all he can.
  19. I think our players are good enough - some were amongst the cream of the SPL. I have maintained for a while that we have the 6-pack....just missing the plastic bit to hold it together. If DK was to invest heavily, I don't thing we would see much difference in the overall playing quality - it ain't the players that is the problem....its the bit trying to pull them together is McCoist.
  20. Can I just say that I am not 100% "comfortable" the board.....Likewise I am not 100% "comfortable" with Dave King. I am trying to view things from a balanced viewpoint. Recently this has appeared to be a pro-board stance since I am questioning or being doubtful about DK.
  21. Not the best decision in the world....not the worst either. As for the history lesson....does that only apply when talking about DK?
  22. Wrt the business review....how have the board lied?? because DK says so. They said it would be out before the ST deadline - last I checked that hasn't passed yet.... What happens if the board release the review findings on Monday - who's the liar????
  23. And one has been described as wholly unreliable by a court of law..... Neither side are as pure as the driven snow......
  24. What happens if the fans follow King, and put their cash in the trust/account. His then forces the entire board to resign. Firstly, does that not mean that the Nominated advisor has to put someone in place? What if King get ultimate power, puts his own board in place & absolutely nothing changes. What will the perma-peaved members of the fan base do then - call for the board to be replaced....call for an end of single ownership etc. Where/when does it all end??? Should the fans be allowed to elect the board??? Again what if there's someone they don't like??? We end up with perpetual turmoil.....
  25. Ally McCoist launches the club's new "spot the ball" competition, saying they want it to be easy enough for Celtic fans to participate....
