    I very much get the feeling that this is the 'achilles heel' in the Ashely plan....and for that matter, all other holders of onerous contracts.

    Back then and shortly afterwards was the time when there were small windows of opportunity that we were, for various reasons incapable to take advantage of. For Trueblue to somehow suddenly express optimism that we'll take on Ashely and get our way in a 'corporate battle' is seriously misguided and somewhat confused given how he seems to think Llambias needs to be given a chance.

    There has been a lot said about Xmas TV being mainly repeats.................. Ever get the feeling that you've seen this AGM and aftermath before ? Perhaps someone saw the first, altered a few lines, couple of wee changes and decided to go with it, thinking the 'mug punters' would lap it up.

    Could it be a group of serially misguided, hate-filled, cabal hunting, molelike-visionaries happily searching for a 'shiny thing' that they never find.

    But can you provide the links where you saw the Newcastle fans praise him please.

    You have to ask yourself what are Rangers becoming ? A badge, a motto, a jersey are tangibles that have been hijacked and what is within is hollow and to become a Sports Direct Franchise. For various reasons, we have shown ourselves not to be up for this corporate battle and if Ashely gets a proper hold on things then you'd be metaphorically asking a divided 'team' with problems in the dressing room, who have shown themselves incapable of beating Barnsley, to go out and take on Chelsea. The only quote I can find that Ashely refers to Rangers was at a SD AGM after answering the question, "could explain the benefits to Sports Direct in its relationship with Newcastle United and Rangers." His answer after a pause of 27 seconds “Other than to say than it's been beneficial to Sports Direct and therefore its shareholders, I don't think it’s appropriate to comment.” You and others like you will have your opinion and they are to be respected but so are fans that see something happening with their own eyes, are sick and scunnered with the runnaway train of lies and profiteering and don't want to be robotic fans of a soulless corporate vehicle with a blue jersey.

    Look at Ibrox on matchdays. Look at ST numbers from the summer. Listen to shareholders at the AGM Whatever 'group' or 'opinion' you consider yourself to be closer to, it would appear to be a small one who shout loudly (online) One that has an unhealthy fixation about some individuals and fansgroups. One that points the finger of blame at the media, the governing bodies, those fans mentioned, cabal of the day etc as those to blame for the state the club finds itself.. One that has shouted the partyline of all the sp.ivs and never learns but still have the gaul to still shout loudly One that seems to have a particular fixation with giving the thumbs-up to all those sp.ivs that have passed through Ibrox. One that is too far down the line of emotionally investing in the board to change. The poverty of the general argument emanating from it should mean it is ignored.

    Somers got what he wanted, the headlines. Look beyond the circus clown for the detail.

    If he wants it, Ashely has it tied up (pending SFA), you may aswell piss in the wind. The only way to metaphorically hurt him is by not giving what will become another branch of soulless Sports Direct (FC) any more cash. Emotional ties with a branch of Sports Direct going no-where, naw, no really.

    I'd hope for a more fluid and creative middle to front link or at least an effort towards it. If not possible through personnel, via a new shape. Obviously an important game, so it will also be interesting, what degree of conservatism he will employ. Being part of the Rangers management team for the past 6/7 years would suggest it will be Conservative with a capital C.

    That IMO, is a very well written summary that touches on the macro issues that are in play.

    Llambias is very much part of it although may have been surprised at the level of hostility. Although, given the style Somers adopted, it almost seemed as he wanted to incite bad feeling. It was that or he has the awareness of a dead badger with one leg.

    I'm sure Frankie wouldn't have a problem with realistic ideas.

    Resolution 9 is a big No at 44.84%

    If we are truthful with ourselves, our current motto is out of date given recent years and is like a cruel ironic joke.

    What are they ?

    We haven't got equal force in the fight he'd prefer. The only way to beat him is to ignore him and not spend a pound (he tends to get a lot for a pound) Let him keep the badges, we'll get a new one. Further down the line, there might be an opportunity to buy some stuff back.
  19. buster.
    I think Ashely already has it sown up. The only way we have to 'negotiate' with him is to not give him a penny and let him get on with an empty stadium. The Rangers I knew has already died. Why put money into a venture you know has got a high sp.iv tax creaming revenue streams and the only ambition is corporate, in the beneficial interests of Sports Direct and assorted hangers-on ?
  20. buster.
    Let them get on with it, but at an empty stadium. Start a new Rangers.

    There is no good option left for what is RIFC/TRFC Status quo is soulless austere mediocrity of Sports Direct FC leading to no-where or a slow death. I'd rather see a New Rangers built on a secure base and build from there in an honest and ambitious way. We'd eventually pass what is RIFC on their way down.

    The divisionary tactics work well but I think the vast majority aren't in that camp where the naked hatred resides. That is a small but loud group, we would do well to ignore them. The middle of the road fans who are not of the UoF/SoS nor what could be termed their 'loud opposition' looked at the situation back in the summer and the ST renewal numbers showed how they viewed the actual situation at the club, rather than fan politics.

    The script will stay broadly similar for the 'unconditionals' and 'serial misjudgers' of executive management. It's about groupthink and emotionally investing in a particular strand so deeply that you can't let go, no matter what happens. It overrides rational analysis and bypasses common sense.
  24. buster.
    I obviously agree regards Stockbridge. I think the fact an explanation wasn't given was probably just par for the course but in this particular case, there was an absence of work or presence of 'Keith Bishop Associates' and we continued to get fed by the Jack Irvine show. eg. see regulatory notices, KBA never appear. It also involved a party with close ties to receivers of 'onerous contracts' from the beginning. It stinks and the smell remains.

    I think an increasing amount have left and others are for leaving the building.
