Zappa 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thought I'd start a dedicated thread about this because it's pretty important. David Edgar is on Sportsound right now discussing the problems within the club.

Danny 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Edgar just said something telling: 'say the truth Lloyds, instead of saying you're here to help Rangers, say you're here to get your money back'. Doesn't this back up what I keep harping on about? That we got into this mess ourselves, and they're just wanting their cash back. They own our debt and us, they're a bank. Why would they care about our wellbeing other than our staying affloat? What the heck is a protest against? 'Lloyds, stop operating like a bank and...er...er...ok, they ARE a bank, why are we protesting?' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executive summary is - a call to hear directly from Donald Muir & to ignore Walter Smith's comments last night & the manner in which he put them across at your peril. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate. The call for clarity is out there. If Muir is simply trying to recoup the money owed then he will have no problems with coming out and saying so. The fact that no journalist can get near him for love nor money tells its own story. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Basically Edgar completely blames Muir at this point, and demands to know his intentions. He agrees with me that Lloyds are a bank and a business and are entitled to want their money back, but he wants to know Muir's blueprint for Rangers given he's on our board. I rarely say this, but I agree with him. A protest against Lloyds is misplaced, demands to know Muir's plans aren't. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 It was also said that Walter is currently holding the club together, the word 'glue' being used descriptively of Walter's ongoing role. It's not expected that Walter will go further with details about what's going on behind the scenes, but highly respected that he's said what he has since he's only said these things because he cares so much about the club. David Edgar spoke very highly of the roles that Walter Smith & Martin Bain are playing in our current situation, saying that Walter is up their with Bill Struth in his personal opinion. The general opinion is that unless the club is bought over there will definitely be a downsizing of the club starting with players being lost and sold in the summer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneAmoruso 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Surely if people like Edgar are coming out and offering praise to Martin Bain of all people that the support needs to waken up to the prospect of someone WORSE than Bain? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To work without a contract shows Walter, Ally and Kenny to be guys who actually care about this club and its future. It's an astonishing gesture which is beyond rare in football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
