It does not reflect well on us but shows that the longrunning and ongoing efforts to divide and confuse have been extremely successful. 'Battle fatigue' comes into the equation aswell, as I said the time to push this was around 28 months ago. Something will come out of the other end but I think the scale will be a much diminished Rangers, which will be made worse by the general marginalisation and relative decline of Scottish football.

Sandy Easdale and Rafat Rizvi Record front page

I think Forlan is accurate in his 'troll' label. Opinions are subjective but to dismiss the Rizvi angle harks of a 'troll'. McMurdo, the Spinning blogger took the wiser route of ignoring the Rizvi angle because he knew that dismissing would give a different impression. Don't confuse my use of 'wiser' with honesty. The very public arrival of a smiling Rizvi alongside a smiling Easdale is a little blatant and makes me wonder if a game is being played, approaching an attempted stage change in the ongoing process. -
I mentioned the other day how SDM/Irvine had landscaped what would become a battlefield, with deep trenches for the divisions that they helped to sow and those that followed (with the help of the ever present Toxic Jack) would nuture with loving care. The effectiveness of this makes our support significantly different to Hearts. This has in part allowed a toxic situation to develop whereby we are within the claws of sp.ivs and trapped by 'onerous contracts' and more. So you have a 'battlefield' executively controlled by the 'dark forces' and a split, confused opposition at fan level. This and the scale make it very complicated for a Budge/Hearts type of proposal to work. The time for it was around 28 months ago.

This particular 'battle' won't be won by 'knights' in 'open warfare'. It may in fact have already been lost to a degree that sees the club without a 'leg'.

Having a different opinion is all fine and well but you have taken it a step further. Thank the lord there are only one or two on here that tend to agree with you. -
You can and in our case it's possibly the only way to offer a chance of longterm prosperity. It's a gamble of course but if you are going to die and/or fade away anyway, perhaps it's one of very few options that give us a chance. This gets to the root of sp.iv strategy. Tie-in the Blue Pound (BP) with both keeping the club from another insolvency event (for the time being) and allowing sp.ivs to cream off said BP, ie. effectively a sp.iv tax for life.

Naw, he's chief middleman and scout of our extensive youth scouting in Asia. Apparently Chan Fook Minger covers some games for him, last one being....... ..............Orlit 400k - 600K Novaresources It's obvious that the heid yins should be taking time out to prioritise youth team matters in Asia when there are some pressing financial matters to sort out regards the club's survival.

I covered part of an answer to your post in my previous on this thread. It's life in general, you seperate the wheat from the chaff. Online posters can quickly gain a reputation in this area whether it be positive or negative. I think it's often wise to keep an open mind and listen to various sources of information. Thereafter you can decide where is the most reliable stuff coming from and how it may or may not connect with others on various sides of various divides. That along with anything you may learn along the way yourself. The most difficult thing throughout has been to put the jigsaw together in a timely fashion. When you look back at what some were saying, presenting or posting then the failure has been at the intrepretation stage by 'consumers', or not being able to put together a very complicated jigsaw. What is gone is gone. Looking forward, I think it generally wise not to dismiss so readily reasonably credible info put out there and instead look to see how it may effect the ongoing picture.

Maybe we could bring in the CIA and a secret flight to Indonesia, rendition style. That or a Bear with a slow boat to Asia !! Helping put criminals where they should be. Disclaimer: the above is not a 'serious post'. -
I think someone is simply putting out there what he is hearing on the grapevine. I heard some time ago from a man who I've had good info from in the past that DM was sniffing around. That may or may not have been true as it wasn't first or second hand. If it was true that doesn't mean that it will happen or indeed that such 'sniffing' is actually serious. Personally, I can't see DM getting involved again due to various factors, including our financial prospects not reconciling with his MO/ego. Going back to the 'credibility' issue you brought up. I think it wise to listen to people like BB and instead of adopting a black or white verdict, take each piece of info on it's merits, remember it and maybe one day you'll find that it progresses the 'jigsaw'. I don't think unconstructive dismissal of what X, Y or Z comes forward with is a good idea. It's better to get into constructive dialogue if possible and encourage communication between those who may be thinking about sharing something.

It has been an on and off affair. He covered (first with it IIRC) the invisible Green consortium 8M investment story from back in June this year. -
I will resist the temptation to 'return fire' regards hypocrisy in the interests of the (bigger) picture that seems to be becoming clearer. The danger is that once the fog starts to lift, there is a change and another pea-souper comes down. ie. another stage in an ongoing process (eg. post AGM December 2013) The sp.ivs with executive control, have always been able to stay at least a step ahead. You can be sure that with the upcoming events.... accounts, AGM, changes in board etc that they will have contingencies in place to maximise benefits. As time goes on, more and more fans begin to see through the charade or ongoing 'robbery'. The UoF statement from last night was as direct as anything I've seen put out there to the masses, regards detail and pointing fingers. This statement to a degree addresses what Frankie asks for in the second post in this thread. I'd implore that fans read the statement, take it on it's merits and not think about the messenger. It perhaps needs a follow-up when Rizvi can be added to the Toxic mix.

Very much so and more.

The political landscape was shaped by DM and Irvine years ago and thereafter nutured. They dug trenches and divided.

Not being able to prove X, Y or Z and lawyers letters is often the reason that it stays in the background. Sometimes it's wiser because a fluid situation can also mean what is relevant one day might not be the next. This can have the effect of 'online derision' (if done via forum) or 'ongoing dismissal' of anything X was to put forward in the future. On occasion it's been for the ongoing solvency of the company/club although I believe this was perhaps short sighted. On occasion I think it may have been because of 'interests'. On occasion the politics meant it better to hold cards close to the chest. On occasion it is a 'trump card' of sorts that can be used against a certain sp.iv. However on many occasions I agree with you and think it would be better out there so as to give supporters a rounder picture of ongoing events.

Fan board elections now closed as of Saturday 20 September
buster. replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
I'll stop regards debating the FF thread link I posted and leave people to read it if they wish. [unreasonable comment Edited by Frankie] I'm independent in these matters regards 'groups' and only seek what is best for the football club. I don't seek division, just a rounded discussion before an election (which is a sham but seems to be happening) I have also discovered in the last few years that I have a nose that has a knack of being able to detect and determine between truth, bullshit/spin. Too often my 'spidery senses' tell me that that AH as B.Hemdani is either not as intuitive as he is clever or is being 'political' regards his interpretations of ongoing events. AH states the following in his campaign literature "My main qualities have been described as financial skills, probity and eye for detail.” I realise that I might be wrong but I back what I said up about AH with his 'unqualified blindness' when it came to Charles Green. How can a man with the CV and relevant experience presented not have sniffed a rat with how CG went about his business, the wording and clauses of the IPO prospectus etc ?.................For me this just doesn't reconcile, whatever way you present the 'figures'. So personally,I wouldn't like to see a man who is indirect and 'political' regards answering difficult questions, has a tendency to defend the board and whose judgement of the same has been shown to be very poor over a long and vital period. If there is to be a fansboard, then it is my contention that at this moment in our history we would be better served by the Billy Patersons of this world and those who follow such a line (investigative but fair sceptics) even if not all were quite at the 'level' of BP. I'll end there and get back to the more immediate and important issues facing the club. There seems to be another convicted fraudster confirmed graphically to be involved with the Dsyfunctional Lying Circus......but then we knew he was in conversations with Green&Co over 2 years ago. I wonder what Deloittes make of it ? -

I don't look for favours, nor am I up for election. Nor do I know after a fair while spent on FF, which are 'ghost accounts' on FF as you seem to. You are right in that I do see the fansboard as a sham but it does seem to be happening and I would prefer that Alan Harris wasn't elected for personal reasons previously detailed in thie thread that go beyond what is contained in the FF thread. This isn't about me though, so you can drop the stuff directed towards me. You'll note that I didn't post in the FF thread, unless perhaps you know of "ghost accounts" I have, that I am unaware of. -

Between them, they must have had 'a few coins stuffed in the sofa' over the years. I'm afraid this is what Rangers is all about now and if we can't find a way to get them out the door, the club will continue to fade away on a diet of empty spin and onerous contracts.
