Wouldn't fancy Longmuir, period. I don't believe him to be a strong enough character or that he'd represent value for money. This at a time when if you don't add value then you shouldn't be there. He does give me the impression of someone who will do what he is told and not rock any boats aslong as he gets his money. Aslong as the powerbase remains the same at Ibrox, the rest is decoration.

It would seem to be advantagous to the opposition if Mr.Ambrose starts as many games as possible. Neither should we get in the way if Mr.Ambrose is looking to establish some kind of world record in (lack of) discipline. I hope the report gets lost.
-
Whoever was asking the questions should have been asking the same to those in the mysterious Easdale block of proxies...........this is where the 'onerous contracts' came from. Colin Kingsworth has a track record of flexibility regards what he announces...... We'll vote as the fans want......................................Sorry, we'll change our mind. From a post of mine (FF) late last year.
-
The board mantra of the day...................... 'Spin before Scouting' Graham Wallace is 254 days into the job has a 'great CV' with 'excellent football pedigree' but we still haven't got a head scout.........but he does think that 'spin' is more important.
-
You should have been a PR man's assisstant who attempts the black arts but isn't very good at them.
-
Warning: I'm guessing without any expertise. Could it be that after the 'Stockbridge 714K shares bombshell', this is to officially quell rumoured doubts regards possible unannounced share options for others ? Another step towards an attempt to raise finance. edit. I see I'm only repeating what Frankie said, sorry.
-
"incredible" with a small "i" given our serial gullibility that has in great part allowed the Pilfering Circus to last this long.
-
The man who provides Stockbridge with a glowing reference whilst very keen on the phrase 'legacy issues' regards finance. The board who promote plastic 'communication and engagement' but don't reply to e-mails from the RST, who have a significant block of shares. The board who talk of 'robust financial health' whilst squirming around looking for cash. A board who serialy mislead and lie in search of the pound from your pocket.

Seems as though 120 days weren't enough.

Surely not Graham "I value Communication and Engagement with fans" Wallace not forgetting.......G "Robust Fianaces" W

With the short-term MO of Green&Co and the sale benificiary being SDM/Lloyds, it doesn't smell of simply "bad planning".

Re. Purchase of Edmiston House Charles Green struck a deal with SDM in September 2012. Green In Murray Talks http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2296-green-in-murray-talks

Dependent on activity/contract that may or may not have been relevant last weekend. However the upcoming 18 league matchdays would be more important. Do you are does anyone know of any 'plans' for EH ?
-
He does seem to believe that his one time 'champion' Charles Green bought us Edmiston House. Didn't realise CG had been so generous. I'm being a little unkind to take DB literally but looking back on that particular piece of business is interesting. Edmiston House was purchased with the money going to MIH/Lloyds. It was said at the time to be an investment with matchday revenue generation in mind. I don't know the current state of play with EH but I don't think it is generating revenue or has there been any activity regards taking steps towards it. So you have to focus on the purchase of EH and where the money went because the MO of CG&Co was certainly not the medium to long term. So this spend was against the grain but money went to one of what we may call 'players' within the saga.

Given your consistency for calling things wrong on sp.iv related issues for a number of years, I think your quoted post above should only go to make Rangers supporters more worried.
-
There is no real mystery to all of this. It's simple but what isn't known is timescale or the exact MO in getting there. Sp.ivs got a hold of the club. They fattened it up and gorged themselves almost simultaneously. They also put 'onerous contracts' (OC) in place for further ongoing feeding. Next stage in ongoing process is different because cash has gone and OC makes cashflow even more challanging. They need to try and con/convince fans (revenue) a new leaf has been turned. They need to bring in more finance but have problems in doing so because of recent history and a lack of trust at fans and market levels. Regards the positioning and transfer, securitization or sale of 'Assets', if the sp.ivs retain control,......it's a matter of WHEN, not IF. They have also organised it so as if we contribute a Blue Pound, it is essentially divided up between the football operation, the running of the club/company and the wallets of sp.ivs. A sort of blackmail and easyline for them re.club needing funds to survive. They will squeeze, continue to squeeze until they have extracted full value. If an ongoing Rangers generates good money for them, they'll keep us going. When money dries up, they'll use the assets to keep it going and gain out of any deal regards said assets.

Thank's, you Iearn something every day ! Why call youself that ?

It wouldn't be the first time in football that a team was shaped/selected so as to make sure X,Y & Z all started. However the largely uncreative centre of midfield has been a constant since Hutton and Black started back at Glebe Park in August of 2012. Watching that game and many since it was plain that creating goalscoring chances didn't seem to be a priority. The only reason we overcame most teams was because in the end, 'postmen and plumbers' can only do so much. Now will the penny finaly drop or does Omnishambes FC really want to everything in it's power to discourage fans from attending games. Loyalty to Rangers is one thing but between the politic's/shennanigans of RIFC and dirge that TRFC produce, it is becoming sorely tested.
-
IIRC at Ibrox, Riquelme played much of the game central or left/central and was the most influential player in the middle.
-
There has been rumours of a split of sorts within the boardroom regards a number of issues going forward. The split seems to have Easdale(s) plus proxy votes........ versus............. Wallace and probably Laxey Partners with Somers perhaps floating (mainly towards the Easdale block) but this a guess. The 'split' isn't so fundamental as 12 months ago because we now have both sides with the same motivation, making money out of Rangers. It's the way they go about it that will differ, (MO). The Nash appointment clearly gives Wallace another supporter on the board or perhaps both sides have along with other parties (eg.Deloittes) been forced to act as they firefight the main problem(s). There is a significant cashflow problem looming unless the board can raise finance one way or another. I'd have thought the appointment will have this as a driver with perhaps Deloittes insisting on X which means the board must work towards Y in as credible a way as possible.
-
Juan Román Riquelme ?
-
Not really. Footballwise, IMO McLeod should get a central role NOW.
-
The old phrase which claims many Light Blues fans are blind in their loyalty as they didn't question the regime in a meaningful and timely manner springs to mind. Omnishambles FC........................But apparently nowt to complain about Mr.Dickson must have been drinking the same stuff that Graham Wallace was prior to telling us about our robust finances.
-
Was going to say that Mr.Nash and his CV would tend to suggest that this wasn't the case but in 21st Century UKPLC I think it has become the norm. Although there are very different levels that go from a simple 'disproportionate renumeration' down to 'pure spi.very'. Note. Generally, over a number of years the 'disproportionate renumeration' becomes the norm. Regards Mr.Nash, I see he has a large number of shares. Does anyone know if he bought them or were they some kind of bonus or similar ?

Share issue ?
