Probably (and that comes from someone who has been known to be a sceptic of occasion !!). However I'd estimate that several already are and I'd be surprised if the 'several' didn't together attempt to push in a certain direction when it came to certain matters.
-
Relatively speaking, this is fairly 'normal'. Sandazza / Tommy the Taxi-driver / Crank call / Sacked / Pay-off.............was further up the scale.
-
Covert Board Mission Statement regards fans membership scheme/board:........... "Raise cash, marginalise awkward fans groups and use as a perceived mandate from the support."
-
When you are waiting for calls/offers from agents and someone makes up jackanory on your and others behalf.
-
Regards the allocation of dwindling cash reserves. Follow the money and you see where the priorities for the board&associates ly. 1. Maintain Executive Control 2. Reward those directly involved 3. Keep 'awkward fans/questions' at arms length (Discredit UoF) / Try to sell ST's. 4. Nuture Confusion, Division and sow seeds for latest 'comfort blanket' to marginalise dissent (fans board) 5. Football Operation (Strategy=Hope for Best)
-
Yes, but you can only do that if you have cash and given the current finances, this now has to be considered/factored into these type of situations. It would certainly be an issue regards McCoist because of the numbers involved.
-
My guess is the club hadn't insisted on his presence as they wanted him to find another club. That there hasn't been much interest willing to pay him as much as or more money than he is currently on and Rangers have told him to get his arse (would prefer to see the g/f's) back to Scotland. May end up being a part pay-off / inducement to have him accept offer X, Y or Z........ or back in the squad (probably last resort for all concerned).
-
He has made a dubious career out of associating himself with what many regard as'dodgy geezers', helping them take advantage of the system and leave various levels of chaos and out of pocket punters in their wake. It's an indictment of how UKPLC operates that he is considered successful when he and his MO should be consigned to the underworld trash. An example of another of Jack's clients. http://citywire.co.uk/new-model-adviser/keydata-victims-ask-who-is-stewart-ford/a413832

We aren't a normal football club anymore....."Bizarre" has become our staple diet. Regards Peralta, I think the proviso is probably that he or an agent finds a new club. Footballers wage, supposedly 'stuck' in Paris with the bird Not bad if you can get it........... Thing is, I can't see a queue of clubs lining up to take what is an ordinary footballer. It's not as if he's in demand after an outstanding season, he was ordinary in the Scottish third tier.
-
There is a saying that you can't kid a kidder. When SDM claimed to be duped, he was actually in the process of duping anyone that would listen. Regards the information that was being pushed back in 2010/11, you had SDM and CW with Jack Irvine in the middle. A cocktail so toxic that chemical weapons engineers were rumoured to be monitoring the situation.
-
SDM isn't just another piece in the jigsaw. He is the single most important piece and overtime was joined by many more. He was responsible for kicking off what seems an never-ending nightmare. I'd love to see a public enquiry that got to the bottom of it all but won't hold my breath waiting on one.
-
Yes, but the main architect was SDM who started the ball rolling and lost control. His introduction of Jack Irvine (MH) and the subsequent paving of the ground for serial gullability within the support via spin, confusion, division and a mindset change over time cannot be underestimated in it's ongoing damage. Irvine played the role of 'continuity bridge' for the sp.iv of the day (including D&P). Back in November of 2010, if SDM chooses not to be duped and lie through his teeth, then CW doesn't buy Rangers.
-
This is in part SDM trying to deflect from the fact he knew all about CW back in the day. He maintains the lie that he was duped. He was the man (alongside Lloyds) who sold Rangers to CW, not HMRC.
-
Simples.....................Follow the Money They all knew about CW and his MO. Duped, my arse.
-
This may sound wayout and weird but it's a thought that crossed my mind. I'll post it anyway so it's declared. I wonder if there is some kind of early electioneering going on for trying to get on any new 'fan board'.
-
Fair enough but a blind man could see it was always headed in that direction so in good part what I said still applies. It's almost as if any 'interviews' were part justification for Doncaster to take up what was a similar role. Do you know who carried out the interviews ?
-
These 'gentlemen' are as consistent as they come. My father told me about the famous Defensive Iron Curtain at Ibrox. He'd turn in his grave if he were to know of the present infamous Iron Curtain in the Rangers boardroom.
-
I don't buy that supposed standing-up to anyone cost him his job. He went because the SFL ceased to exist and he wasn't unhappy to walk with a handsome pay-off.
-
Almost as if their AGM 'manifesto' was in part somewhat misleading and sparing in detail.
-
12/12/2013 ? So the contract was verbally agreed a week before the AGM. 6 days after Somers Open Letter (Within regulatory notice) I recall there being loaded speculation at the time from one of the then main agitators on FF (Applepine) about BS having to/ moving on after the AGM. Applepine, the same poster/agitator, who in early January knew about the direction of the membership scheme and it's proposed meetings with the CEO and manager.
-
He is if you are paying him. He strikes me as the type who would be willing to front the sp.ivs for the right price. Scott Gardener wouldn't.
-
You have to remember the market in which we will be shopping. The salary that will be on offer. The budget that will be given. The perception of Scottish football. It's not like the old days. To a degree Celtic had their hands tied through some of these constraints, were KB'd by Keane and gambled on Delia.
-
I thought I'd come on and mention McInnes as a replacement but until we sort out the boardroom and finances, we will be building on moving sands.

Top Tip. Take the pic when the sun is out and there aren't big dark clouds hanging around.

Law of averages says at some point, you will get something right. -------------------or maybe not
