    Whether it be the internet or the street there is an unwritten rule when you join or enroll in X, Y or Z and you are approaching that line. I'd take a step or two back if you want to continue in a constructive way. Your style is a little different to the norm on here but there is nothing wrong in that, however 'the line' applies to all.

    The VB move in mysterious ways............. Perhaps the 5 Part Exclusive is lost like the actual 5 Way Agreement. Certainly never understood the reason to drip the 'info' over a period of XX months.

    Todays Rangers and Clarity........=............oil and water

    If there still happened to be some connection perhaps we could pay Turnbull Hutton to come over, wrap the Easdales up in lino and send them over for a 'break' on the Bass Rock.

    Bet you didn't know that Val McDermids Dad scouted Jim Baxter and took him to Raith Rovers, his first senior club.

    ITIS won't miss it, he has a date with Val McDermid, he's going to bring her back into the fold.

    Some posted of the danger of this over 18 months ago when you were still 'in love' with Charles Green.

    In the absence of someone with around 50M to throw at it, I can't see any route that isn't dangerous or with definite destination, although perhaps continuing to fund sp.ivs/onerous contracts has got a more predictable end. Some say that to break some of the onerous contracts, it's liquidation that would be needed. And yes, that is another sea of hell where huge risks would ly. Bearing in mind what I said about throwing (30M-)50M around, I would also say that in this current 'game' it is unrealistic to expect X, Y or Z to do anything else other than continue whatever strategy they may be embarked upon in an attempt to reach an objective without spending so much money, before they were to even walk through the doors. The pursuit of realistic and viable alternatives is something that has became progressively more difficult as the years have passed and now the only certainty in the short term is uncertainty........... and that is where we are because of many different reasons. It's sad but I think we are damaged beyond a point where you can expect to return to where we once were in the forseeable. With that in mind you have to tailor expectations but I wouldn't be prepared to do that and continue to fund the sp.ivs onerous contracts/creaming off.

    He enjoys a dig but I think it works in that it highlights what has been a farce and isn't inaccurate.

    When talking about being "discredited" and members of both the RIFC and TRFC boards it may be useful if there was a scale to use so as determine what level of "discredited" we were dealing with. You could argue in the defence of the Rangers board that they were 'testing the water' somewhat, sending in a Grade A of "discredited" office bearer with the logic that it takes one to know one.

    Between Richard Wilson and this article (with no apparent byline), the BBC have began to venture into a more accurate take on political matters at Ibrox. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29153590

    I'd have thought the respective steps they deem necessary whether admin or liquidation would have already in good part been put in place. Beyond that I'm no expert to go into precise detail. For something authoritive and comprehensive, you really need someone well versed in the appropriate laws and regulation.

    There were always two strands regards effective control. 1. Enough shareholders support that gave executive control. 2. Continuing control of revenue stream (enough fans to keep servicing onerous contracts and the like). IMO you'd need both to have a chance of success. ie. regards your proposal,.. a more radical, louder, effective and numerous effort from fans to turn the heads of sufficient shareholders.

    Just to bring a degree of clarity on the actual number. On the day of the Ahmad v Rangers court case, Friday 5th of September the QC representing Rangers mentioned that 23,361 ST's had been sold to date. Not too far out !!

    I agree with most of that although the make-up of the board would have to represent the shareholdings to a large degree. This would perhaps mean an ongoing split. It should mean that the support get someone on the board. I think the initial priority is to gain executive control. This would in essence be similar to the struggle prior to the AGM of 2013.....trying to convince some of the institutions to side with the good guys. I'm no expert so those who are, feel free to rip my post to shreds.

    Have you been reading the Jimmy Sanderson handbook on how to handle 'awkward callers' ?

    Like it ! That is actually a shorter and more to the point version of your thoughts.

    Put our deeprooted problems alongside the financial marginalisation of the smaller leagues (including Scotland) and associated effects. I can't see Rangers being at all competitive at a European level again. Summer qualification canonfodder, at best. The one way out would need Rangers recovering to be a sustainable business with a football operation that produced decent players and then an invite to a league with more TV revenue. In the short to medium term, it's not going to happen.

    It's come to the point whereby if you fund the regime then you accept them. Emotional blackmail card used by spi.vs which is a horrible conundrum for many and has the effect of dividing fanbase further.

    I think the longer it goes, the more likely it is to be a 'salvage operation' and the question will be.....to what extent are we diminished ?........Rather than dreaming about returning to a level we once occupied, because that isn't going to happen.
  23. buster.
    In recent years, at least on online forums and the like it's come down to believing the regime or not. Some like StB, DB or BH tend to side with the regime or go with their plans whilst more and more of the others have distanced themselves as reallity hits home. For whatever reason (and I think there are several dependent on individual) this type of supporter will remain where he is, which of course is their right,... but they have to remember that generally they have a poor record regards such judgement calls.
  24. buster.
    Why don't you ever learn (or show qualification/humility) from your consistent record of calling everything wrong ? Fool me once.....................etc You must be in double figures by now

    I hope Mr.Deloitte is listening to the words 'triple boycott' and looking at the pic's of Rizvi & Easdale when he contemplates the 'going-concern note' of the accounts.
