Murray would make more money from the cannon than Whyte.

Everytime I go to Ibrox I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of girls/ladies that attend the games. Some of you girls sing louder than the guys!

& the only player that we miss, IMO, is Miller. It's not really that depressing to me, the difference is depth. We are stretched right now even with a full squad so injuries are catastrophic for us. On the other hand, Miller & Mendes aside, I wouldn't really say that the left hand side is any better quality. It's just bulky, & the majority of that bulk is extremely average. I discount the likes of Adam, who have gone on to be extremely successful, from my perception of quality because he wasn't getting a chance to shine at Rangers & potentially never would.

Strange as it sounds.. I look at that squad and think it is so weak. If I started a game of FM with that team I would sell/release most & use youth players. Just aswell I'm not a manager then isn't it? Since that team won the league

I'm pretty sure he is gone now. I'd imagine he'll be thinking 'mission accomplished'.

Fair point MF.

Well Zappa, I was thinking earlier.. if he has mortgaged off the season tickets to ticketus then this could be where the shortfall is atm? Since it's alleged that he used the ticketus money to paid LBG with £6m to spare then I would assume that £6m (+player fees) has been used to pay for players wages for this season so far which would sound about right as this would then be exasperated by now. I would imagine that the season ticket money would be an extremely substantial amount of money & since we now effectively owe this money to ticketus it becomes, in my head at least, negative equity. Apologies for and incorrect terminology used, I'm not financial-minded.

I think it would mean that basically SDM would be back in charge with the current situation as is? I remember thinking when the takeover was complete when I was reading about the obligations, what a great way for SDM to get someone to put Rangers into Administration (since he was a shitebag) & then he could ride back in and save the day.

Can someone explain to me why I'm so angry about this when I didn't even know they existed until today?

You should write some paragraphs/articles about experiences of games mate. It is something that I can read over and over again, with pleasure. I've never been to an old firm game & I'm not sure I ever will to be honest. The atmosphere seems too hostile & I am always afraid that after a few beers my mood would match it & it's not worth the bother I may get myself in to.

I pledged £150. Mainly cause' my missus is pregnant & sparing anymore in 1 month would be pushing it. I would prefer a monthly/quarterly/yearly subscription though. I'd be willing to pay up to £50 PCM. This would have to come with no contractual obligation for me as some months are tight.

I'd say that after February it should be alot easier to meet expenses as I'm expecting 4-7 players to leave & on top of that I'm expecting a few contract amendments.

Aha To be fair I don't think the title is as direct as yours.

Sorry to burst your bubble Gazza but there is a thread on this already.

Hasn't he just admitted what everyone has said he was lying about re: ticketus?

I'm not sure he can since he has commitments with several other businesses.

Allegedly.

Just shows though.. although they haven't had any trophies in, what?, 7 years.. they have been making steady profit in that time & are still in the top 6, so it is possible. Maybe they should turn some of that profit into talent & maybe they would get back to winning some silverware for their fans.

That'll do me!

So Bluedell, did they change their name or not? That's all that's required for Tim poking.

I was also at the Liverpool friendly & Jordan MacMillan also impressed me at RB in that game.

Not only that, but two left backs played the wrong way around. Surely if you were going to insist on playing those 2 on the left then it would be Papac at the back & Wallace on the wing?

Man City probably spent that figure in the past 3 years tbh.

No, my point was more about us signing the players based on Nationality rather than proven ability. I doubt that Ally had much say on any of these targets.. I would assume that if he did then he would have surely given them a better chance to try and prove that he is a good judge of player, surely?

It should also be noted for people reading the article above that it was written in November 2010 by Traynor, before the takeover. Also interesting to note that when the takeover was complete, Traynor's opinion of Whyte changed almost instantly. Insider information? Or was he trying to help the deal go through (via increasing public opinion of him amongst Rangers fans) so as to have plenty to write about our club in the shit?
