How much longer is this fool going to be allowed to utter such nonsense? The SPFL Premiership ( a name taken from England as they couldnt come up with anything of their own) is supposedly the showpiece of scottish football but is nothing other than a pathetic bore because it is a one horse race. It cannot even attract a sponsor and has a SKY TV deal which no one gets to see probably because it is derisory. Week in week out clubs give away free matchday tickets to artificially inflate attendance figures. Others even give away free ST's. Doing well Mr Dumbcaster? don't think so somehow -
There will come a time when enough is enough.This board need to come up with a positive strategy to take this club forward. Selling Lee Wallace isn't a positive sign if they're stupid enough to do that. I fear for this board. they never got the 'landslide' whatever they want to call it at the AGM. Cutting the first team squad budget could be the end for this board and the beginning for DK and his people.

Right back? Alan Hutton hasn't got a club.How about him?
-
All the best to all. Take it from me an interesting new year awaits. Revenges awaits
-
You too bud.All the best for 2014
-
Hildy - all the best but I don't think asking people for £2 per month would generate nearly enough finance. This is Glasgow Rangers not Cambuslang Rangers we're talking here
-
I repeat my earlier question to you - what do you intend to do with our existing shareholders ? Would you compensate them for the shares they bought last year? How much annual finance will your 'supporter-owned' model generate for the club? How would it generate borrowings as all businesses need to do from time to time? Might sound a great idea in theory but it would be a total disaster in practice in our predicament in my opinion.

Seven Green Brigade members face ‘IRA song’ trial

The GB seem to have some sort of immunity from prosecution. why is this ? -
If we're stupid enough to accept a £1m bid for Lee Wallace then I think it'll be the final straw for many of our supporters. That is £0.5m less than what we paid for him and will show a clear lack of ambition from this board.
-
We will not move anyone on who is not out of contract unless they agree to move
-
DK's biggest problem is how to gain control of Rangers should he wish to do so. Can anyone explain to me how he would do that as things currently stand?
-
When the DR quotes from a 'source' you just know they're making it up. If Graham Wallace weakens the first team squad in any way he's finished before he's even started.The first team squad needs strengthened not weakened.Supporters won't pay to watch a sub-standard product on the park as we saw in the early 1980's. I see Mr Wallace is returning from a break abroad (assuming the DR got that bit correct). He wasn't in South Africa per chance was he? The biggest challenge this board face is increasing revenue to the club. I fear it will fall well short in that respect. Hope I'm wrong however.
-
The three clubs you mention are of course examples but they have access to greater revenues in their domestic leagues for a start. This is one of the challenges facing our current board and I fear it will come up short. My biggest fear about supporter-ownership is that it wouldn't be financially-sustainable and would constantly be required to go to supporters looking for more money I believe Dave King is opposed to supporter-run clubs although someone may correct me on this
-
I doubt very much if this would work. Would it raise enough money for a start to buy the club? How would you compensate the current shareholders(of which I am one) as you no longer seem to want them ? How would the 'supporter-owned' club raise funds from time to time as all business require to do? Just ask supporters to dig deep again? Can't see banks being too keen to lend somehow. All in all Supporter-owned clubs may sound a good idea in practice but in the real business world I tend to think not.

I'll phone BBC Scotland right away and tell them to get their Investigative Journalist Mark Daly onto this right away
-
Hildy - regards your comment about criminality, what if It is proven SDM was forced to sell to Whyte by LBG ? Remember who was in charge of LBG's Scottish business division after LBG took over HBOS. I am of the opinion that Rangers FC were the victims of a very serious stitch-up with the aim of putting us out of business altogether.It was orchestrated by our enemies in senior positions in governmental and banking positions. My dearest wish is that all will be revealed in 2014.

If he is then good for him. His father was QP chairman at one time as I recall
-
You are wrong. Malky MacKay ain't one of us I can assure you
-
Not at all. All I'm suggesting is that English football may be storing up problems for itself with foreign owners once they decide they no longer want to pour in their money
-
Because you need SFA membership to play in the SPL & SFL(as it was then).It needed the SFA to transfer ours from oldco to newco which they eventually did
-
Had there been proper leadership at the SFA they would have decided which league we would have played in 2012-13. Instead they bottled and handed it over to SPL chairmen who voted according to their keyboard warrior supporters in cyberspace and voted us out.We then had to go to the SFL who accepted us but put us in the bottom division against the wishes of REgan who wanted us in SFL1. Regan's performance throughout was a joke. He should have been fired.
-
So how do you see things panning out for DK ? Just asking mind
-
Everyman and his dog knows we're the same club but people at the SFA such as Rhegan & Liewell cant bring themselves to say it. They hate us alright. Were it not for SKY holding a gun to their head prior to the Brechin game at the start of last season then who knows would have happened?
-
One of our new CEO Graham Wallace's biggest challenges will be his dealing with the SFA & SPFL. It is blatantly obvious there is an anti-rangers agenda at work and has been so ever since SDM abandoned ship and the you-know-who's moved in en masse(no pun intended). It is vitally important he scores points in his dealings with Regan, Lunny and Liewell in particular. The first thing I'd be asking is to see the SKY contract Dumbcaster and Liewell signed at the start of last season which no one else seems to have seen. Why is that? Is it because there's something concerning Ranges he doesn't want us to know about? Over to you Mr Wallace
-
This is what I don't understand. With the shares low in value at present why doesn't DK buy a shareholding(below 30 per cent) and appoint someone like PM to the board? It would cost him £5m or so to get 20 percent. Surely that's loose change for him
