buster.

You get the impression that CW was always in a better position than he was generally thought to be. I wouldn't begin to guess as to how all this will end up.

Hibs show no signs of dropping points and we need to continue to do the same (important test at Livingston this w/e). The next game against Hibs at Ibrox is shaping up to be huge. It could be argued that Hibs have the deeper squad and that we might need to depend on younger players to come in and do a job. Game on !

Then it's you who isn't looking sensibly at it. The continued use of EBT's and the scale at which they were being used, despite potential claims from HMRC (and without any money being put aside to pay in that case) was reckless management from Sir Duped, period........... and we saw where it took us.

Surely if the club are refusing to pay the 'HP' then they must have in their legal opinion, grounds to do so. Football is a profession where in the main games seem to dictate when a player will be 'busy' and there is little scope for an individual to seek 'time-off' outwith what would be downtime for the squad as a whole. If within International breaks during the season the footballers are given say 5 days off, would that count as 'holiday' ?

MW likes a lightish squad so that means all have to be 'at the races' and ready to go.......I have my doubts Miller can operate in the top tier to the level we need on a regular basis (if required). We haven't got the resources to be able to afford luxuries whom might just become a decent coach in time.

Not the greatest news IMO. Miller is on the downward spiral and that isn't usually conducive to going up a tier, never mind his legs getting heavier. Thats one of the attacking options now decided for what we hope is the top tier next season. If we presume Waghorn stays then that leaves a decision to be taken on Clark. I hope Frank McParland is putting together a list of decent and viable options.....but the wage Miller will continue to take will limit scope and for me I don't think Kenny will be value for money.

Using Schumachar as a comparison will see you on stage as a stand-up comedian.....

Current court cases include a Whyte, a Green, a Brown (lawyer representing CG)...........so I'd imagine that Black will be involved

I wonder if Uncle Mike is underwriting their legal costs @ 'Litigation Direct' ?

There are many questions for our support to consider about their ongoing 'political' judgement, how they were influenced and how they might look to review that behaviour where necessary. This particular "why" that you pose is curiosity that might have been better placed in the past. People don't have to buy the book if they don't want to and as to the reason for timing,..... I'd imagine it be commercial having something to do with the proximity of Xmas. Another is that you tell a story when it is 'fresh' and there is more than enough material to work with as it stands regards regime change.

Probably because he has a story that he feels worth telling and that many others have expressed an interest in knowing more detail of what has been going-on............. This book will, I'd imagine fill that void regards the perspective from the front-line/'command structure' of the supporters who stood up to be counted. You can sit back and 'have a go',..... but Craig Houston got up of his bahooky and did something about what was going on and that should be respected,............ no-one is forcing you to buy the book.

Well worth a few minutes of your time........ http://news.arseblog.com/2015/11/arsene-wengers-full-interview-with-lequipe-sport-and-style/

The DR want to squeeze as much commercial value out of this as possible. Involve the Old Firm, controversy, direct tit for tat with emotive language being ideal.

Just a quick word on the media coverage. What we have is a feeding frenzy (from a commercial POV) as the media realise that they can ride on this particular wave and increase sales/clicks. eg. Today the Daily Record has a Celtic blogger giving it laldy and doubtless there will be a reply from a Rangers blogger. Low quality output on a complicated and yet undecided case is worth as much as fans throwing insults at each other at a match.....but then maybe the former is taking the latters place in the society of today.

I think it's Spiers who researches the anonymous tax experts on social media and runs with their overview of the situation. Alongside this he spouts contradictory qualifications that are designed to allow a claim of reasonableness and a get-out clause. Spiers gets by without doing any real traditional journalism and nor does he have an in-depth knowledge of the game itself. In an age when journalism is going down the tubes for various reasons,...... Spiers, instead of trying to buck the trend, has decided to jump on the downhill ride. I could take an opposing view from a real objective journalist who had gone out and did his digging but I think BBC licence fee payers get a raw deal on the money that will be paid out to what is essentially a 'fraud'.

The subliminal message coming from Rangers/DK is don't buy. Then it's up to each individual how they spend their money but I won't be buying anything that comes from Ashley/SD.

Certainly has his direct and indirect agitators throughout social media but some on Rangers sites are finding it a little harder to get their often subtle message accross !

I can partly see your point but it fails to take into consideration the majority of the fanbase who probably don't take such a keen and constant interest in the politics surrounding the club as you and are therefore are not as clued up or will they have such detail on the instant recall tap.

My interpretation of the statement is:- 1. There are things I want to tell you but can't. 2. SD are trying to squeeze us and force their will upon us and we are involved in a struggle against them. ie they are the enemy and we all must do what we can against them (maintain boycott on SD). 3. Direct struggle is legal tied in with finance. 4. The retail in particular is a problem (don't buy merchandise) 5. Ashley is making this personnel (ultimeatly against Rangers) 6. We hope that the criminal proceedings currently underway lead to a legal and financial 'breakthrough'. 7. The relationship alongside other things is complicating the way forward but we fight on.

I'm more than happy with what MW says but when it comes to pre & post match interviews they are fairly uniform. An observation rather than a criticism.

The audited accounts should provide at least some information.

As a support group/s, we have to try and move on from dedicating so much energy to internal politics and in-fighting and grow into something that reflects a capacity crowd at Ibrox nearly all wanting the same thing on the field of play. We could be extremely powerful and in the past this was recognised by the club owner, who did his best to fracture and divide the support at a political level. The scars are still apparent and bleeding. It's basically up to us to make it happen and will depend on our ongoing will/determination, our competence, our willingness to see the 'bigger picture', our ability to deal with problems and 'road blocks', our insistence to remain independent from the RIFC board (other than those elected to sit on it), etc. One step at a time and make the foundations firm.

Not MASH, nor Sports Direct or the retail operation say anything and have taken out court gagging orders to prevent Rangers from saying anything so don't expect anything meaningful to be said for the forseeable.

Yesterday, Aird seemed to be playing the game situation rather going direct. MW will have probably have told him to go wide, take the ball for a walk and look to maintain possession.

Aye, I only just recalled that.
