    Almost sounds like electioneering It certainlly doesn't address the real issues of today.......................You have to walk before you run. As for the line on supposed "PR", you either don't get it or don't want to.

    I wouldn't watch Dirty Dancing or Top Gun for nothing, never mind 24 notes. High margins and Low Quality.....................perhaps they could open the food kiosks to extend a similar type offer.

    Your answer is very illustrative of our ongoing situation. Not only that but I think you may be talking about the short-priced favourite.

    Obvious bullshit but........... Who do you think or guess was responsible for giving this line (Green/new investor) to Radio Clyde/Media ?

    More probable that his agent couldn't find him another deal that was better than his current contract and/or the club weren't able to find him a club/deal (via agents). He may or may not have turned lesser offers down and the club doesn't want to/ isn't in the position to offer an inducement of sufficient size to push it through and is playing hardball ................telling him to get his arse to Auchenhowie. Visa story smells of bullshit.

    If the boardroom, their mysterious backers, changing narratives, the poor corporate goverence, the police investigations, unpaid Wonga style loans, spin-doctors fantasy bullshit, plastic communication & engagement with the fans, many of whom are fed-up with fog, bullshit and shennanigans and refuse to fund in part onerous contracts, 120 day business reviews that can't be acted upon and fail to find the likes of the 'Stockbridge share option'...........etc. ............... aren't the major concern..........what is ?

    Many are already overweight on their feeding and have their offspring nibbling away in the background. You saw Green as good,........ does that mean the vultures you see now are different ? Here is a link on Ornithology to help you. http://www.ornithology.com/

    But this can't be, our bullshitting blogger, 'Merlin the Spinning Fantasist' told us that our mysterious friends at Blue Pitch intend to invest up to 50M pounds sterling but only when we reach the CL. In a similar vein, I today pledged 150M Euros to Dukla Pumpherston when they win their second UEFA Champions League.

    IIRC it was a draft that gave a good idea of the flavour but not the final document. If the VB do have this document, I wonder how they came by it and why it was given to them ?

    Nowt wrong then, it's only the bad ole BBC spinning a line.

    From the Business Review....25/04/14 "In order to achieve the strategy identified below, the Company will need to raise capital. The Board has determined that over the next three years it expects to raise between £20 million and £30 million to be invested in the Club. The Board will consider the most appropriate source of finance which may be available to the Club including equity and other sources in order to obtain the necessary funding whilst also seeking to ensure the Club’s financial stability is protected.............. ......The authority given to the Board at the AGM in December 2013 to enable the Company to allot up to 43,400,000 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company on a pre-emptive basis to existing shareholders has not been exercised to date. In the event that season ticket sales over the forthcoming weeks are materially less than anticipated then the Company may seek to use this pre-emptive authority which can offer a cost effective and efficient method of raising capital. To implement the initial phase of the three year plan set out below, the Board intends to seek shareholder approval in Autumn 2014 for the issue of additional equity pursuant to Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006." http://www.rangers.co.uk/images/staticcontent/documents/RangersBusinessReview.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So how many of the 43.4M shares (less the Stockbridge slice / 120 days obviously not enough to find out about the BS clause) equate to 5M Euros ? If the board are struggling to convince investors over 5M, do they realistically hope to achieve stated objectives ? Graham 'Empty Corporate Speak' Wallace still talking about robust finances ? Other directors still talking about pushing buttons for XM ? Certain Bloggers still on about 50M from BPH ?

    Whilst we know of the in part co-ordinated efforts of some of the characters you mention, it would be unwise to ignore or even dismiss everything that comes from them. The past tells us that to concentrate metaphorical 'fire' on the messenger and brush the message aside hasn't served us well. At the same time, neither do you have to believe everything they say or enjoy the tone in which it is written. It's more about using a filter of sorts. That said, perhaps there is an interesting article to be written about some of the messengers associated with Greenslade and their seemingly co-ordinated approach to matters Rangers........with a second part that covers the RTC blog, how it developed and how some of the messengers & associates were involved.

    Not so much sinister but a process, after nuturing a past seed planted, very well marshalled and managed using ongoing circumstances and the Fourth estate to your advantage. Once the emotional investment is made and moreso if you can tie in an angle that involves Celtic, then you've hooked someone who will blindly follow the line until in this case, Feburary 2012. I'll give you 'sinister process' They ain't called the 'dark arts' for nothing

    The worry is that it is an ever increasing trend due to it's effectiveness (if done well). eg. Accountability is becoming old hat, why resign when you can call up the spin-doctor to counter-attack. PR people like Irvine are considered successfull but essentially they are often advising on how to best mislead and lie for those who take advantage of average punters.

    The heavy use of spin at Ibrox goes back to SDM bringing Jack Irvine in. As you know, spin isn't only about X on any particular day. It's also about mind-sets that are cultivated overtime and in our case, the push to confuse and divide....making life much easier for those upstairs. The above was one of the main reasons why our support not only swallowed initial reports on CW (understandable) but continued to lap up the bullshit and defend someone that could easily be shown to be 'dodgy'. He even had largely unstinting support after the Ticketus articles and the BBC programme on his directorship ban. Then it all started again with Green&Co. Not having an "Open Mind" was in good part down to years of spin and a cultivation of a mind-set, using the ongoing circumstances to your advantage. Not forgetting the Fourth Estates willingness to co-operate.

    I think some of the issues talked about apply to much of our news at various levels in todays society. Real and/or investigative journalism is becoming a rare commodity. The Fourth Estate is partly becoming more a tool for the 'powerful'. As far as we are concerned, Spin has and is playing a larger part in communications between the club and fans than the 'truth'. Mislead not Inform Fog not Transparency Spin not Scout

    They must jump off the shelves Would have thought they'd have left it as 'Goat Pie'

    Israel have been carrying out a slow-burning genocide of the Palestinians and their land for some time now and as walls and improved technology 'control' the terrorist threat from Hamas, they can become more hardline. What is "terrifying" is the relative silence of others who should be holding them accountable.

    Let's be honest, it's all about making as much money as possible and in general the football supporter is targeted by 'business' as a customer who can be charged top whack but be given cr@p. Merchandise, food, at Ibrox you can add the football. It's little wonder sp.ivs are now looking at football clubs and at Ibrox you have Sports Direct in control of Rangers Retail and the olddonkeyburgers plus Coke at 7.50.

    Sometimes 'truth' or a 'reasonably accurate analogy' is uncomfortable for or perceived as nauseating by an individual. In this particular case, I find the ongoing slaughter of thousands of innocents and efforts to deflect blame as 'nauseating'. I certainly can't understand any objective and rational person who was quite obviously and rightly disgusted by what the Jews suffered back in the day, not being disgusted at what is happening to innocent people in Gaza.

    They have their claws in and a relatively high percentage of the Blue Pound will be making it's way to spi.vland. Rangers probably have to turnover something like twice as much as pre-sp.iv times, to have the same money staying within the club / going to football operation.

    For that price maybe it's prime Aberdeen Angus they've used

    The different categories will enable what is intended to be in good part a propaganda tool, claims to be made that it is representative of the general support. Transparent Boards who truly and sincerly embrace engagement answer e-mails from large fans groups with a considerable number of shares (RST). Let me say that this is a 'plastic token' designed in part to marginalise 'awkward fans groups' and conceived at a time when Jack Irvine was the man who was in charge of communications strategy.

    Don't Go DB..........this is a case of an attemped light hearted remark (connected to yesterdays post) being 'Lost in Translation'. My old Gran used to say to me "Don't buy bullshit then KB humour"..........which brings me back to the proposed 'fans board'. A pro-board agitator on FF (Applepine) who was obviously fairly high up or connected to such told us on the 5th of January about some of the details of how the membership scheme would be shaped, ie. fans meetings with the manager and others with the CEO. This was before any questionaires went out. His thread was called "Communication & Engagement"... He forgot to preface the title with 'Plastic'. RST don't get replies to e-mails but the board are heavilly committed to 'engagement', honest !!

    Those Law of averages (re.DB) just ain't kicking in
