  1. He is an inexperienced manager with a lot to learn but as far as I am concerned he needs a chance to develop and we should allow him some leeway to do that (within reason). I think in his first full season he has shown dignity and calm under incredibly difficult circumstances. I think he has excellent man management skills which no doubt contributed to the players decision to accept pay cuts and the incredible spirit the team has shown . I always thought Walter's greatest quality was man management and the ability to get the best out of people. I haven't seen anything to make me believe that Ally doesn't have the same qualities. He has gone up in my estimations this year and should be judged under more normal circumstances.
  2. I think the SFA/SPL have acted in haste and got themselves into a mess. They have not carried out a proper investigation because they are not trained and don't have the skills to do so. They have bowed to hysterical pressure and ignored their own inadequacies in all of this. Time would have been better spent by the authorities in tightening their own procedures to ensure a situation like this never happens again and allowing the real authorities, HMRC and the police and the courts to do their investigations. When the effects on the rest of the clubs of their hasty and ill conceived actions became apparent there was a noticable shift in opinion when people began to realise that Rangers money would be missed. They want their cake and they want to eat it. They want to emasculate us with a transfer ban but continue to play in the SPL for our money. They want to create new rules and apply them retrospectively. If they create new rules they should apply to the future, not the past. They have now created a situation where fans are threatening boycott and counter boycott. I don't see how they can come out of this with credit. It is a situation of their own making. Yes rules were broken at Ibrox and the punishments should apply based upon rules that are already in place after a professional and thorough investigation.
  3. I feel such relief this morning and I guess my desperate signing up to the fans share issue last night hopefully will no longer be required. I am cautious, like most bears are, but the news that is coming out from Charles Green on Twitter sounds okay. I like the idea of a footbal board and lets hope some great Rangers men are involved in this. I also like the idea of a 15% ceiling on share ownership per individual. First of all, though this has to go through and hopefully will be ratified by the creditors on June 6th. I hope desperately that we can keep our top players. Mixed messages coming out here - Green openly states tough decisions have to be made but is also talking about tapping into the Middle East and Far East markets and competing in Europe. You won't do that with a duff product. We have been so used to instant fixes and throwing money at problems that we are impatient and will have to adjust to the fact that we nearly went to the wall. Reading what Ally said this morning or more specifically what he didn't say about the takeover, compared to his positive comments about Bill Miller, concerns me, but remaining optimistic (you would go mad otherwise) I am hoping that he too is being cautious given the speed with which this has happened. No doubt there will be many twists and turns to come and obstacles to be overcome but this is a start. I would have preferred Rangers men in there and lets hope there will be in the football board but we have to deal with the facts and look to the future. As I said I am cautiously optimistic. Rangers for Ever
  4. I have similar concerns to you but decided that since I do support fan ownership and am willing to give some cash I would respond. There is no commitment, they are only trying to guage numbers. Given the string of delays so far there may be more time than we think.
  5. I'm in, I've registered, can't afford a fortune but can help.
