RANGERRAB

Well done those who did!

Keep on keeping on!

We will get there! Despite or in spite of those who continually mock us.

Get to where? This will achieve sweet FA IMO

Neither is Borrussia Dortmund.

Unless I'm mistaken it is a requirement that german clubs are 51 percent fan owned but the commercial deals a bundesliga club could get compared a Scottish Premiership club puts things into a different perspective for me

Barcelona isn't a cottage industry either.

But is how many hundreds of millions in debt and owes how much to the Spanish taxman? Sustainable?

Whilst fan ownership may sound great in theory it is very difficult indeed in practice as things currently stand.

Rangers are not some sort of cottage industry run as a hobby but a world famous football club run by a Plc.

In the end, it does depend on us, but it remains to be seen what Dave King's intentions are. Yes, he is a supporter, but there's plenty of fans on here who would keep the fans at arm's length forever. He might turn out to be exactly the same.

If Ashley manages to acquire the 25 percent Rangers shareholding as rumoured then quite frankly I think Dave King & co can forget about owning Rangers. And it is entirely of DK 's own making. If he genuinely wanted Rangers he needed to be getting some sort of shareholding over these past couple of Years. He may well have left it too late

What if the wrong sort gets overall control?

 

What then?

Some may say the wrong sort have already got control. Donald Findlay for one seemed to suggest this.

However I do think someone or some organisation does need to be able to call the shots without the behind-the-scenes negotiations we've got at present

I think it is time for All out war, don't go to any games, don't buy the merchandise etc to force them out. However we have to accept that there might not be much left if they adopt a scorched earth policy as they extract themselves from us. I am so sick of all the boardroom and on field shit that I would be willing to risk it..

Whats needed is for someone to take overall control. After the first IPO all that resulted was a whole group of some known and some unknown major shareholders each with mostly between 5 and 10 percent shareholdings which resulted in a ownership structure which doesnt work.

So does this then benefit Celtic?

We've absolutely no chance whatsoever of CL qualification so long as Ally remains in charge. Malmo or Maribor ring any bells?

Given the SFA's supposed rules on dual ownership this is most interesting. Maybe the rules don't apply to all clubs however.

i doubt strachan will be like that. it's not his style plus he is a rangers fan.

Strachan a Rangers fan ? Don't think so. Wasn't he once a Hibz supporter?

Quite a number of fans who have shown remarkable patience are at the point of fleeing because they are fed up to the teeth with the ongoing pantomime and are beginning to discover that there are other options available to devote their time to, which are preferable.

I am convinced it will all be sorted in the next couple of months

maybe his cronies that decided his contract and bonus should go with him.

Yes absolutely. The whole board will go eventually with the possible exception of crichton

defaming a fellow member of the SPFL and bringing the game into disrepute. Next case, m'lud.

Montrose got away with this a couple of years ago in their Rangers programme and unfortunately I think Livingston will too.

The old scottish excuse'we didnae know' will no doubt be rolled out. A big Bhoy wrote the programme but he's gone away now.

I do hope our board persist with this to the bitter end no matter how long it takes

If Merlin's story today is true about GW being unhappy about only getting a £160k bonus instead of the full £350k then the sooner he's gone the better as far as I'm concerned.What did he have to do to get this bonus? What pre-determined targets were met?

For me he's been more than a bit of a disappointment as CEO.His 120 day business review achieved little for starters and his fund raising efforts didn't amount to much either to such an extent he's now supposedly supporting the DK consortium which is well risky IMO due to whether they will even be making an sort of offer for Rangers.

I do wonder however if GW is simply working his ticket to get the inevitable but now-expected excessive pay off from the ever decreasing funds.

Rab, don't shoot your bolt too early.

You might yet be able to maintain your 'consistancy'.

Bit puzzled by the BBC's Dave King 'denial'. Expect it will be cleared up soon enough.

@tedermeatballs A "small" pr guru has started his magic with this false denial and also fed a blogger info about GW bonus to deflect.

 

Al Lamont (BBC) just happens to be one of Toxic's go to outlets.

Ok I will hold back. But I still have very serious reservations about DK's involvement. Does he have the money his supporters claim he has? I don't think he has

Just to further muddy the waters.....

Laxey/B.P.H=Ticketus will back this move by Mr King and co as they see it the best way for club to prosper and recoup their money.

Had a good laugh about the Ticketus bit.....LOL....who writes this nonsense?

I voted for King merely as it was the lesser of all evils. He may do a great job if given the chance, but......

To me he is not so much a non runner but isnt even at the race meeting

Meanwhile, South Africa-based businessman Dave King has told BBC Scotland that a newspaper report suggesting that he and other former Rangers directors are involved in a takeover is untrue.

He also recently told the BBC that he had not been involved in discussions with anyone on the board.

 

Taken from BBC

looks like I got it right. Well done RAB anyone?

Where's Rab to pish all over this..?..

Unfortunately anything in the daily Rhebel I tend to regard as nonsense.This also.

That's why Livingstone are apologising

 

the answer is simple............next time don't go

until these people come out and say what was written in their match day comic is factually incorrect then there has been no apology as far as I'm concerned.

We want a world-class coach and are in talks with candidates.

 

and you pick lennon?

Wonder what would happen if he caused a referee's strike over there ?

I think Ashley would be a decent owner.

Any new owner needs to tell supporters how they intend to take the club forward.We hear next to nothing from the current board.

The only issue I have with Ashley is his PR is virtually non existent. However he would provide much needed financial stability.

Forget about King, i have lost all faith in him. Ashley for good or bad looks like the man in the driving seat. We can keep battling him or work with him? I'm to tired now to worry any more.

Speaking to a couple of yahoos at work yesterday they're absolutely petrified of Ashley owning Rangers

Settling for second? second,third and fourth are involved in the play offs !

And fifth too surely?

Sadly it's all to clear that King expects the fans to do the dirty work in seeing off his rivals . Not enough of us are prepared to do it .

King needs to prove he has the finance first. Im not convinced he has
