    Monday AGM

    buster. replied to BEARGER's topic in Rangers Chat

    I think one of the criteria Ashely will look for in a manager is a degree of relative subservience. I'm not sure and in fact, probably doubt that Davis would provide that. That said, he may be prepared to appoint a slightly more populist figure at this stage, but on a short contract.

    Monday AGM

    buster. replied to BEARGER's topic in Rangers Chat

    It wouldn't be a wise move to put Dennis in charge and I doubt very much it will happen. However if DW is mentioned enough, it will help the acceptance (via relief) of whoever is appointed. This is an appointment that Ashely will consider extremely important in several ways and will help illustrate intentions.

    It's been a downward spiral that can't go on forever. However, Ashely will look to reach a level whereby he keeps enough fans onside to give him a worthwhile return and thereafter maintain operations at a similar level. He will use a lot of spin, depend on blind loyalty and hope for the odd bit of success. Problem Rangers continually competing for second place is a very difficult sell, even for Ashely and spindoctors.

    The term 'expectation management' will feature more prominently, alongside and interlinked with some of the more traditional methods.

    I don't think you fully apprecaite the state of play within our support after so much dishonest turmoil. Yes, there will always be a base of unconditional followers but with every passing month, it is getting smaller.

    The only way the message will get through for many will be when they see the fall-out in front of them and even then some will go along with the excuses to protect their own emotional stake in Ashely. One of the tricks is to make X synonymous with the club. eg. an attack on Ashely is an attack on the club and it's prospects. The sad fact of the matter is that collectively, we aren't up to it and it has been shooty-in for the sp.ivs and shark.

    Many are the same, it's the 'Cabal Blame Game', where they have to find someone other than the executive board to blame for the state of the club. It's the SFA, SPFL, the meeja, Fullerton, LBG, HMRC, Desmond, King, UoF, SoS.................etc, etc. You'll note that the other side of this game for the serial players is to back every money grabbing sp.iv that passes through Ibox. It can be down to 'mind-control' (within groupthink), downright stupidity, something darker or a combination.

    The theory that points to his interest in Rangers being because of SD expansion into Europe doesn't stand-up.

    I would think that the board would welcome a defeat today for several reasons.

    Excellent article Andy Steel ! It's very much part of a societal trend that has been accepted by the politicans in power at Westminster over the past couple of decades. I'd welcome a press conference on Monday morning that outlined plans for a new Rangers. What we currently have is a club that has reached a state of toxicity that together with forseeable future of conversion into a soulless Sports Direct Corporate Vehicle is not the Rangers I know, it's an illusion that serves to extract money from your pocket.

    Will c&p a post I made just there on FF which touches on some of what you say. As you mention, I don't see it working at Ibrox for MA in the medium to longterm without him changing his spots. There is a deeply cynical malaise already set in within the support that for many is already edging closer to the cliffedge of no return.

    SteveC says that "madness rules this shitty world" I'd say that generally............. ignorance is exploited by the types you refer to and at many different levels. I'd also say that we live in an increasingly "shitty world" because of it. Truth, responsibility and accountability have been relegated to a lower tier and calculated bullshit controls up on high and is having a trickle down effect.

    I think you'll find that Ashely extracts much more value than that under the banner of 'missing' connercial revenue.

    That is the only quote I can find where Ashely addresses his involvment with Rangers. However those few words say everthing say so much.

    And the Jackson source is..............Hateley or Novo or GCHQ or a dodgy Mirror group phone hacker (oops) ?

    You say "part of", what would the other part be ?

    First wave should be between 6 and 7pm. Might be with a 'subtle' delivery and 'info' coming from a 'Rangers insider'.

    Look towards Ashely/Llambias and a ruthless strategy that wants in various ways, to take most of the Rangers out of the club and replace it with Sports Direct................Add austerity 'in the right places', weight everything in favour of Fat Mike, have people scared for their jobs etc.

    At a normal club this would have been resolved last week. Our bunch of directoral clowns who have little interest in the club other than what it can do for them are if nothing else, consistent.

    Can't agree,........They could handle red cards but have an aversion to blue seats.

    Apparently if you don't buy the semi-final T-shirt, they are threatening to send your whole family, Rangers knitwear.

    'The Kaiser' certainly has quite a few memories that involve us. Should have beat them in the 1967 ECWC final aswell. Just glad we managed to get past their great early 70's team on the way to winning our European Trophy. I think it was him and Paul Breitner (both WC winners) stood on the goal-line at Ibrox like a pair of dummies after Derek Parlane's shot fleashed past them. If our present team played Bayern tomorrow, we could ship double figures.

    Sandy needs to get confirmation from the 'guy in the corridor' whose CV happened to drop into Somers lap.

    WH Ireland seem to be carrying on the Daniel Stewart 'baton'..........and are excelling themselves. Their first announcement, including the McCoist 'numbers'. Of course under Toxic instruction from RIFC. #Nest of Vipers
