buster.

Give the red card to anyone who calls being cautious about all this, suspicious.

I understand what you say. We have put ourselves in a bad situation because we didn't change bad habits. No easy answers. Sell the keys to venture capitalists and hope for the best.

It wasn't an insult. You call a spade a spade.

I don't have the answers. However, I think we belatedly hit on the potential way out of a deep hole when John Bennett finally decided that it required austerity, patience and a slow build of a solid foundation. Now, with an impatient support on their backs, the board made too many mistakes, errors of judgement and general fcuk-ups on the way to that point and after it. Hence, the current board have little credibility. That doesn't make a largely unknown alternative the answer, whatever business speak they may come up with. Our impatience and subsequent actions mean we never get out of the dammed circle. I think we need to employ patience for a change. Being impatient actually means the whole thing will take longer.

You said that you were suspicious of the motives of someone who raised questions ("talk down") and was cautious about the leap of faith on a largely unknown. That was an idiotic statement and par for the course. I don't doubt our capacity for falling for the next saviour with wealth off the radar. This is obviously different to 2012 but to go with blind acceptance and without due caution, is for the stupid.

After 2012, we continued to rack up the losses and now 13 years later (post 17m loss with another on the way), the support want millions spent on players and a league title, yesterday. A new scriptwriter (Scottish or American) who mentions patience and foundations isn't wanted, he would quickly lose popularity.

Why would a Rangers supporter ever be cautious in this type of scenario?

Do they invest or do they load the debt onto the club ? Good question for Patrick Stewart given he was at Manchester United.

We need to build foundations but most of the support just want jam today and to hell with the consequences. After buying shares, I very much doubt that the American takeover will throw much of their money into the club. In time, they will be wanting to take significant money out of the club.

Morning BM ! We find ourselves in a difficult position and there aren't many obviously good options that I can see. I don't think the proposed 'American takeover' will be what a lot of the support seem to think it will be. It might start loudly but I am not sure it will end well. A lot depends on potential European League restructuring. The major shareholders have to make their choices. The reason for no one dominant shareholder at Rangers post 2015, were made very clear.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had to leap off the rocky ledge into the white waters below, depth unknown. They did ok for a bit but the end wasn't so good.

Apparently the quantum is higher than has previously been suggested. _-------_ Philippe Clement is entitled to a significantly higher pay off from Rangers than has previously been suggested. The Ibrox hierarchy confirmed on Sunday night that they had taken the decision to remove the Belgian as their head coach. The final details of his settlement are currently being thrashed out between the Ibrox side and Clement’s representatives. Reports last week claimed that Clement’s settlement figure was £1.2 million but the figure is significantly higher. -___- Logic suggests the later will be more accurate but we'll have to wait for the accounts to see if we get the truth.j

Bad look for Patrick Stewart whatever the scenario.

Rodgers will have to buy a Popemobile to top that 😂
