    Well, I've already given some previous thought to this, and that's the best line of attack I could come up with. Bet your home on this line growing arms and legs over the weeks.

    I honestly think that the authorities would make sure we're in the Championship next year. Otherwise, Scottish football will die.

    If we were to go into admin, it's obviously the best time to do it while were in this Division. I should imagine we would still win this league, and we start next season with no handicap. While, not being palatable to them, I think the SFA and SPFL would understand what's in their own interests. One problem I can see is the squad. But that's just one of many. Still, I'm not sure if this all a Toxic mind game. He's quite capable of it.

    We always listen to it on the bus home. I'm sure most RSC's do, and I'm sure the majority of our fans do.

    If Thomson told me that the sky was blue, I'd ask for a second opinion. This might be the start of Toxic's mind games. And it might not. Which, I agree, is worrying.

    Have a guess bud.

    Agreed. I note that the Beeb and the usual suspects are totally against King and the ST trust fund. Particularly the corduroy numpty. To me, that's a good reason to support the King/UOF initiative.

    I don't see it. It would be a shot in the foot moment. Who's going to talk to the media and us then? Somers, an Easdale? Toxic? The return of the Green boy?

    I see that the statement was released to PAS, which is maybe not the best way of getting it unadulterated to the fans. The Herald publishes the statement in full - as follows: http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/dave-kings-latest-statement-in-full.1393693208 The latest statement made by former director Dave King. I am enthused by the statement issued by the fans following my own comments earlier this week. It is inspiring to see how the Rangers community continues to unite and put the club first in times of need. This will guarantee a positive outcome at this watershed moment in our club's history. I will now make it a priority to travel to Scotland to meet with fan representatives to ensure that appropriate legal structures are discussed and implemented for both season-ticket payments and the creation of a substantial fund to secure an influential equity stake in the club for fans. Unfortunately, I can only express bemusement at the board's response to myself and the fans. In what is really a non-response, the board states the following; 1. That our statements are an attempt to undermine the club. That is an insult to fans who have nothing other than the club's interest at heart. 2. That the current problems can be attributed to previous management (presumably Charles Green etc). That does not explain the ongoing lack of transparency on shareholding and finances by the existing board. It is quite possible that Charles Green is still de facto controlling the club. Certainly the existing directors have a minuscule equity stake and yet won't disclose the true "power behind the throne". 3. They ask for trust but don't recognise that trust is a mutual relationship and requires transparency. What the board is really asking of fans is to have blind faith- not trust. This board has not earned that right and has, in fact, repeatedly demonstrated the opposite. 4. The board correctly argues that season-ticket monies are normally part of sound working capital management. Again, it is what is not said that is key. These are not normal times. Normally there would be sufficient facilities in place to support the club once the season-ticket money is used up. Despite multiple requests, the board is either unwilling or unable to provide such confirmation. This is particularly important given that this board falsely assured fans that there were sufficient funds to meet the club's commitments to the end of the season. 5. The board states that it does not take the fans for granted but does the opposite by failing to deal with the issues that the fans have raised. 6. The board states that it believes in professionalism, integrity and honour but conspicuously excludes any belief in transparency. It is time that the board adopted transparency as a value. 7. The board correctly states inaccurate information benefits no one but fails to commit to ending its propaganda initiatives. The board continues to treat the fans with disdain by offering mere platitudes. A more considered and constructive response was appropriate. It is insightful of the board's mindset that it is willing to borrow money from a preferred shareholder at a rate of interest that reflects a high risk to the investor. In doing so the board has finally confirmed its true view on the parlous state of the club's finances. What is incomprehensible however is that it then eliminated the risk to this investor (and separately to Sandy Easdale) by providing club assets as security while still paying the high-risk rate. That highlights that this transaction makes no commercial sense and was not conducted on an arms-length basis. Paradoxically, the board wants long suffering fans to lend money at no interest and with no security. Rangers fans are loyal but not stupid.

    I know for a fact that it was all over FF at the time. Given that even in those days there were a lot of Tims lurking there, it's no surprise to me that Philomena McGobbledegook was well informed. Even this forum has its issues with lurkers and provocateurs. Welcome to the Brave New World.
  11. bluebear54
    Thanks Zappa. Is it a good idea to have a ticket shop thread as a sticky?
  12. bluebear54
    That was the story at the time. If I recall correctly he was outed on some forums.
  13. bluebear54
    Personally, I don't think he should be sacked anyway. He's been a great servant to the Club, and I'm sure he has a lot more to offer to the Club. I just doubt that it is as manager.
  14. bluebear54
    I'm not convinced he will be our manager when we get back to the top division. Because I'm not convinced we will win the Championship next year.

    It was all about us beginning to be being painted as the sinners in those days, and no matter what initiative we made, it wasn't good enough. The media jumped on the video like a shoal of piranha. It was a no brainer as to what SDM would do.
  16. bluebear54
    Ally's correct though. It's obvious that next season will be a huge ask with this squad. And Ally.
  17. bluebear54
    Dependant on how accurate that is, I wonder if the thumbscrews have been put on Ally.

    And in the interests of equality, we sing Bob Marley. Along with Orbison, great Rangers fans. Toxic sounds like a rabid Tim there. I've never read this before. How he ever was considered to be on our payroll is gobsmacking. I've always thought that sleekit characters like this who make innuendos about individuals' personal lives deserve to have their skeletons scattered all over the internet and the media. And I bet Toxic has a lot he would prefer to remain hidden.
  19. bluebear54
    Surely a bit of canvassing at today's match might push it over the edge.
  20. bluebear54
    ..... and here was me thinking this forum was full of twenty something's!
  21. bluebear54
    Well, I guess I won't get tickets. RSC's are all taken. If anybody comes across a pair of tickets for my daughter and I give us a PM. Quite fancy this. Ta.
  22. bluebear54
    Would you like to leave this hallowed place and take your motley crew with you?
  23. bluebear54
    When it's finished, perhaps copy in the major shareholders.
  24. bluebear54
    That's about when I started too. We had some players in the sixties.
  25. bluebear54
    That's a pretty fair assessment. Am I right in imagining that Jackson is cosying up, attempting to be DK's best media pal? Agree that now is the moment. As the great man sang "It's Now or Never."
