    Not a snide dig mate. I'm telling you straight - you act like an arse when putting your points across. I'm a football man mate - I don't get involved in the corporate speak because I don't know it nor pretend to, but I can still observe when people spoil the forum\threads by acting like a knob. "You get a wee bit back" - ?????????????

    Don't tell people to "wise up" then for disagreeing with your ludicrous statements!
  3. Anchorman
    In his years in cup competitions he hasn't failed then?
  4. Anchorman
    That is one of the most naive statements I have ever read on here. I've read a few 'peaches' from yourself on here but they are getting ridiculous now!!
  5. Anchorman
    Stop being an arse mate!
  6. Anchorman
    Stupid and irrelevant comment purely aimed at antagonism. Nothing new from you though.
  7. Anchorman
    Can you fill us all in?
  8. Anchorman
    That was naughty :-)

    "What can we spray that takes us about 10 seconds?"

    Sometimes I just wish he would just 'shut the fridge door'. What would have been wrong with "I leave that side of things to the board. I concentrate on things on the park"? Unless it was a 'hostage' scenario and he was under strict instruction.

    Disappointed King didn't cover all bases when trying to outwit Ashley, but if the reports are true about Ashley acting like an intimidating despot by threatening anyone who would stand in his way, I'm not sure how King would have been able to counter that.

    I suspect the only walking they did was from the taxi to the door. You know 'taxi' yes?

    :lol: I think there was maybe a wee bit of Babycham involved petal for you to jump in with such a fork tongue, when you weren't involved in the debate, but thanks for the advice anyway. SBS must think you such a hero Well done you!

    People who have coffee and lunch in the Balmoral don't tend to "walk the streets" to get there. The statement I'm calling 'bollocks' is that "Whyte has walked the streets plenty of times unscathed". Coffee and lunch in the Balmoral doesn't fit that bill.
  15. Anchorman
    Really? While "walking the streets together" unscathed?
  16. Anchorman
    Don't be so touchy. "He has been here on plenty of occasions" - walking the streets? Where? When? Some examples please apart from a highland supermarket. You've put out one of those assertive statements that you think nobody can disprove, but I KNOW you are talking bollocks mate.
  17. Anchorman
    I think you will find that Whyte doesn't walk streets here. Monaco maybe.
  18. Anchorman
    Yep, it looks like Nash walking the plank is a clear indication how this is working out, it pains me to say.

    I think there is a lot to be read from that statement. Ashley's point blank refusal to even acknowledge King shows his arrogance, his total disregard and contempt towards our support and what powers we potentially hold in railroading his investment and merchandise sales in this country. Does he not realise (1) we won't touch his stuff for obvious reasons, (2) The Dhims won't touch his stuff because of the relationship with us, and (3) a mass walkout by the support is a show stopper in itself? I also think the "lack of authority of the Rangers board to make decisions without reference to key shareholders who appear to be “the power behind the throne”. statement is an indicator that he doesn't hold out hope in his dealings with the board. It's not a statement you would make if you still had hope for continued negotiations and diplomacy. It doesn't inspire hope.

    Admin, Can you delete the OP if you don't mind? I tried to steer a certain course with the questions, but it's going to be a repeat of what we have elsewhere by the looks of it. No disrespect to the guys who've posted, and I agree with their points but I had hoped the responses would be more specific as to when the fans (or board) would let McCoist know time was up.
  21. Anchorman
    Easy answer is now, and there would be no arguing here, but realistically when would the fans really let McCoist know vocally we want him gone as manager (along with Durrant at least)? When would the board get to the tipping point? I know many will say "it costs too much to get rid" but is that false economy considering how much he is costing us with bums on seats? Would it be, for example, 10 points behind Hearts? Would it be once we go out of the League Cup (after potentially a trouncing off someone)? So the question is simply 'what is the tipping point' because it will come, and we lose life as a Club while we wait?
  22. Anchorman
    I don't believe you have a 'buddy' that said that. A Bud or two maybe.
  23. Anchorman
    May not be the issue but you can't deny it doesn't help. Does the Lee Robinson signing make any sense to you? If yes, can you share it because I'm struggling to understand it.

    I wouldn't disagree with much of this to be fair. BY GORDON WADDELL Gordon Waddell: Like Thelma and Louise, Rangers have arrived at their destination.. the edge of a cliff 31 August 2014 08:37 AM By Gordon Waddell GORDON reckons Rangers are at the edge of a precipice but the cash crisis hasn't stopped the club signing back-up keeper Lee Robinson in a move typical of the way the club has been run for the past few years. THEY sold their road back to the top of the game as ‘The Journey’. It would appear Rangers have arrived at a destination many financial experts predicted for them long ago. The edge of a cliff. As the directors sit there like Thelma and Louise, with the engine revving, you wonder if the question was not whether the club would end up being driven over the edge but more a matter of when the crash would occur. How else do you explain it? No sane person would surely run a business the way they’ve run theirs. It’s as if they have committed commercial suicide. An example? It didn’t make a headline. Barely registered a mention. But if you want even a tiny indication of exactly how dysfunctional Rangers are, then look no further than the signing of Lee Robinson last week. A 28-year-old back-up keeper to a 35-year-old back-up. When they already have the Scotland Under-19 No.1 AND the Scotland Under-17 No.1 on their books? Another wage? Aye, why not, eh? We’ve been splashing money needlessly for two and a half years on players we don’t need and can’t afford – another won’t kill us. Their share offering on Friday was like taking a tube of Savlon to a cremation. They’ve admitted to the stock exchange that if they don’t get at least £3m, they’re knackered. And even if they do, they’ve openly shifted the problem a couple of months further down the line. Yet still they sign players like autograph hunters? They act as if they don’t give a monkey’s. Other clubs coming back from the brink, the first thing they attacked was their cost base. Trimmed all the fat and started from the ground up. Live within your means. New club motto? Numquam Iterum. Never Again. Yet here we are, back at square one. Ally on the back pages, pleading: ‘Don’t sell my stars’. Why not? Truth is you should never have been allowed to sign most of them in the first place. This whole ‘We’re Rangers and until someone tells me otherwise, we’ll continue to behave like Rangers’ schtick? McCoist is a bright, articulate, likeable guy. I refuse to believe he’s so gullible. That he never sat there and thought ‘This can’t be right’. Who would you prefer to be in charge at Rangers? I’m not saying anything I haven’t said to him in a dozen different press conferences. I’ve asked him why they weren’t hunkering down, signing players for their level, saving cash. He always replied: “The fans deserve better.” Damn right they do. But they also deserve their club to survive after what they’ve put in over the years. In a football sense, I haven’t yet met a Rangers fan who didn’t think the club would have been better bleeding half a dozen youngsters into their line-up back on day one and developing them properly than going down the road they did. I haven’t yet met a fan who wouldn’t have put up with the odd defeat to see some genuine progress and fiscal responsibility rather than watching the likes of Richard Foster, Stevie Smith, Ian Black, Dean Shiels or Jon Daly. Or Lee Robinson. Nice lad, decent gloves – but what about Liam Kelly and Robby McCrorie, two of the highest-rated teenagers in their position in Scotland? Every other club in the country is giving youth a chance and reaping the rewards. Not The Rangers. Sorry lads. Can’t trust you, even on the bench. No time to have faith in you. Other diddy clubs might get away with playing teenagers. They may even excel. Hell, look at Conor McGrandles – 82 senior games by the age of 18 and a £1million move from Falkirk to Norwich. Rangers are too good for that, though. Listen, the dysfunctional management of the club’s affairs runs a million miles deeper than the team. These are just examples of how a total breakdown in management manifests itself in public. What goes on behind closed doors or up marble staircases? We may never know. But the fact they’re putting out the begging bowl in such a humiliating manner suggests none of it is good. And then we have the ever-hovering presence of Dave King . King has been criticised for his silence but don’t let anyone kid you that he hasn’t been waiting for this exact moment. The lowest ebb. The final wheezing breaths of a regime someone as long in the tooth as he is always thought would arrive. Sure, he’s a Rangers fan. Sure, his intentions for the club will be more honourable than the current incumbents. But spare me the idea his timing suggests anything other than his own benefit being served too. In the meantime, the Rangers fans are once again left with what they call Morton’s Fork – two choices, both undesirable. Take up the share option, keep a shambolic regime functioning a little longer. Or not a penny more. Flush them out and suffer the consequences. I don’t envy them their decision.

    Anyone know who is paying our legal team in this saga? Is it MIH?
