The summer of 2012 we had a brand new company and no league to play in, boycotts really would have finished us off I doubt many football fans necessarily TRUST their owners/boardroom tbh.
-
Rightly or wrongly many people will be considering not renewing thanks to listening to King and co.
-
I'm just trying to look at facts here rather than hyperbole. I'm not disputing we've spent too much money but it's simply not true to talk as if it's all gone into pockets
-
We've been using loans to run the club for two years?
-
The money must go into the club otherwise we wouldn't be able to pay a bill, never mind pay the players and coaches. The extent of our debt would be internal loans it seems
-
There's no need for wrestling, if people want one they should get it and don't listen to anyone else
-
We'll only fade away if fans give up and walk away. It's a stand I won't ever be part of
-
Absolutely renew mate, I have my own doubts but I intend to take my forms to Ibrox tomorrow. I can't walk away at this crucial stage of our history. This is about the club, individuals as they always have done will come and go.
-
That's just not entirely true though is it?
-
A bit of singing doesn't make them any more important than the rest of us
-
Says who? Just because many believe the board are the club these days doesn't mean everyone has to agree
-
It was a few hundred thousand they bought him for with the millions being paid in the future depending on the number of first team appearances, I realise it maybe doesn't quite make him a full academy product but it's the kind of moves we'd all like to see us making i'm sure. I'm not sure why you're having a pop it wasn't even me that brought up other clubs I just responded to your point about Liverpool and mentioned players they've developed.
-
Going back further Wayne Bridge is another
-
They bought Sterling when he was about 15 that's pretty long term thinking. I'd say Flanagan's been pretty impressive in what i've seen of Liverpool anyway, and kept expensive signings out of the team.
-
Sterling, Flanagan?
-
Good chance of them going to the World Cup as well

Oxlade Chamberlain

What gave it away!?
-
In your opinion
-
Neil Murray was nothing more than an old pals act was happy enough for him to go. Rightly or wrongly Wallace asked for a grace period to review everything and I accepted that, since I don't believe we should be signing many players this summer I think it can be given some time for him to implement these plans.
-
I believe they've fucked up not changing manager, I think Easdale fucked up with his interview. Just two examples
-
This board haven't been here a year and we've hardly had normal circumstances for them to deal with
-
My personal opinion is that scouting is a more long term thing looking at the top flight, we need little or no-one next season to still get promoted, and if McCoist wants to top it up with the likes of Miller he hardly needs a scout for that. It may not be ideal but after the money wasted away we really need a year of very limited spending.
-
It's pretty much an unprecedented situation where there has to be something of an election campaign to get people renewing, no matter how much the debt built up with Murray people renewed, they renewed when we had a bank running us and a tax case hanging over us. The attitude was backing the club not the regime. What I mean about engagement is when I hear stuff about people's positions being 'untenable', there's a tone going about to virtually make compromise and reconciliation impossible. The board might be putting out very strong statements but it's not far off the nature of the ones directed at them, and they probably see a need to clarify situations such as losing your seat. The game by game stuff is very uncertain income, i'm not convinced it's an awful lot better than boycotting completely as far as the finances are concerned. According to Ahmed's court case there is other ways to finance the club but even then it's cash that can't be used later down the line, season tickets are and will be a key part of the business plan for any ownership. I'd like to think an appointment like a Chief Scout wouldn't be rushed, don't get me wrong if there isn't one before the start of next season i'll be very concerned but probably nothing is happening right now thanks to all the uncertainty. I know you're not my biggest fan Frankie but all I want is whats best for the club and i'm incredibly gutted at all this.

As human beings we all have choices but it doesn't mean I have to respect the motives etc. Differing views are one thing but I have genuine worry people holding money back could see us have no club at all.
