    Are you now beginning to market a 'new route' ? As for knowing "better" regards taking on historical precedent, I don't think you are in a credible position to use that line. Which reminds me, where are Mr.Hemdani and Simply TB these days ?

    How do you measure a bite or attemped bite/graze against a headbutt or a punch thrown ?

    Whilst there is increased scepticism and more care is taken with such output, it is difficult "to get to grips with" it because there is seldom any certainty as to what the complete truth actually is. So whilst more are becoming aware of the copious bullshit written, there are many who are simply scunnered with the soap opera that doesn't have an end. I think it comes to the point where they'll look to sicken the great majority of the politics and push the football enough to have sufficient revenue. The Spi.vs at Ibrox have operated in a foggy void that 21stC UKPLC allows. The Fourth Estate have generally been complicit due to a lack of expertise, professionalism and budget constraints. This was predictable and spin-doctors acted accordingly. BBC Scotland did manage to uncover CW's directorship ban. However, within the 'Sports Dept' there has been wilful spin conduits established by Irvine. Conduits that have been used to mislead and despite this have remained open. There was and is a huge story for a 6 part panorama special.

    Fair enough They come out with this because a significant percentage of Bears will take it as read. Jackson in a tweet used the word "claims".... ("who claims to control Blue Pitch Holdings"). https://twitter.com/tedermeatballs Whereby the Record headline writer took a more definite view............."Lebanese Owner of BPH speaks to the Record". In the newspaper article there was this this short paragraph where again Jackson qualifies the remark. "Houssami insisted he is the sole power behind the Blue Pitch group." http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/exclusive-man-behind-rangers-investors-3750868 The actual article itself or much of what Houssami claims has more holes in it than Rab C's string vest. The Record are going with the bullshit to sell papers. Or rather they aren't trying very hard to check out what is being given to them. You may or may not find that the editor is putting pressure on Jackson . Is the toxic one speaking directly to Jackson or the editor ?

    He isn't Mr.Blue Pitch though.

    Thank's Frankie ! "Off market disposal of shares for no consideration" It appears DK is selling (or transfering) shares in Micromega....but I'm puzzled by the 'no consideration'. You don't give shares away. Any financial folk want to translate ?

    Sp.iv spinners hand story to Jackson who gets an apparent exclusive and sells print. Not having read the article, I can't comment on contents but headline and info available tends to suggest that there is no real 'tangible big new story' or revelations. Think about the timing and current circumstances. Think about Green last week. Think about Deloittes and going concern status. Think about share issues. Think about ST sales. Think about Auchenhowie. Think about Dave King. I have no info but it would seem as 'ducks are being lined up' for something and/or to push others.

    'Control'...........but probably not own ? Lining up their ducks for the 'next move' ?

    The corporate speak from the infamous business review. "Strengthen the Club’s Football Operations - With the creation of the new position of Chief Football Operations Officer, with specific responsibility for developing best in class football operations support. This new role will support the Football Manager and the Board and will concentrate initially on developing player talent identification, scouting and recruitment capability" http://www.rangers.co.uk/images/staticcontent/documents/RangersBusinessReview.pdf

    There are priorities in life and the order of my particular list has changed over the years with football suffering a significant drop................. However, a 'beautiful girl' is still a 'beautiful girl'.

    I'd forgotten the direct money making potential. However I see creating the perception of communication and engagement, broadly controlling 'conversations' and marginilisation of what they will call 'radicals groups' as being an important step into neutralising 'opposition' / keep money flowing in. I think they'd be prepared to take a hit of X,000 giving up attending games. They will have a break-even number in mind so as to try and keep the show on the road and the ongoing payment of 'onerous contracts and similar. Whether the whole shooting match is viable and sellable at this point is another matter.

    Plastic Engagement Broadly Designed by Spin-Doctors for Sp.ivs to give Perception of Communication but actually Better Control Dialogue and Marginalise the 'Awkward Questioning' of the Support.

    Allow me to jump in. In recent times we've been subject to subtle but steady short-term downward expectation management from AMcC, who has done so for his own interests come the time when supporters judge performance. At the other end of the scale we have had/have CEO's who talk things up regards expectations and their timescales, to the extent that they are plainly not realistic if you take the time and analyse how these are supposed to be achieved. However I'd venture that the multi-layered gravytrain that is a Grade 'A' Omnishambles doesn't in it's present form, deserve to be listened to given the personal agendas and serial misleading that goes on. More important than expectations is present reality and until we sort that out, we can only expect to continue on the road to no-where (at best).

    A relatively bigname with good experience being linked is something we are not used to anymore and it's effect will be to generate interest. However there are many questions to ask. The obvious one is financial. If you take the monthly McCoist salary, add the mounting deferrals (since salary was cut/defered) and then add what Nerlinger would want. Take that increased total and ask: - can we afford it and any further infrastructure required by Nerlinger (scouting etc.) in times of austerity - how does it effect player budget - if McCoist wants final say on players, would it actually be of proportionate benefit - would it result in a clash re. club politics - can we afford to pay-off McCoist / how powerful is his position

    There is such a gulf between Rangers and Celtic in terms of how and for whom the respective football clubs are run that IMO you can't currently put them both together when considering the making of medium to long term strategic plans.

    I don't think there is any doubt that the 'best days' are in the past regards what has been, being reasonably competitive at a European level for on average one season every decade. It's not only our very own 'onerous omnishambles'. You have to take into consideration Scottish football as a whole, the wide gulfs in TV revenue and the marginalisation of the middle to smaller size leagues. I think it likely that there will be a steady lowering of attendance averages over the next few years as the generations change. The youngsters becoming increasingly more disinterested in Scottish Football. Many talk of the 'magicbean' being a move to a European league. I don't buy it. I haven't seen one viable and realistic plan that would be a gamechanger and that's not to mention the fact we're not going to be in any state to do anything for the forseeable.

    The club has a ban of sorts regards BBC Scotland so whilst a licence payer can have his say over the national broadcaster regards coverage of Rangers, it brings to mind the old line about 'you can't have your cake and eat it too'. I'd argue that what's more to the point and another show of ...'say one thing and do another'... is how the club may have such a ban in place but via spin-doctors, place leaks in the public domain (BBC) or indeed allow themselves to be doorstep interviewed in 'fagile moments' by those who they 'ban'.

    Over the years I've heard many say that Ze Germans were infallible but then you read Der Berliner trying to shoehorn his general views into whatever may come along. It only leads me to speculate that 'Vorsprung durch Technik', not unlike the Spanish football XI.............. has ceased to be.

    It'll be Dumbarton (H) then Hibs (A).

    Well done to Mark and Billy Paterson for taking on the metaphorical 'fight' to have the club run properly.

    Look's to me as if the G 2-3 P was a 0 pointer Taking into account the red card and Ronaldo's knee, Portugal were playing Germany with 9 and a half players, which has never been a good idea. Real Madrid players had a pretty miserable match, just as they did with Spain the other night.

    Scenario: You are Jim Traynor, you are on twitter and don't want your ID to be revealed. What's more likely ? a) You tweet about goings-on in Airdrie. b) You don't think it a good idea to tweet about matters in Airdrie. c) You tweet about Airdrie thinking that people will presume you'd never be so stupid to do that and will presume double bluff and that is someone else.
