kuznetsov 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Oh yes, i'm sure Green hated the idea of being able to play in the CL next season. No money to be made at all there. This is where the debate becomes difficult to be honest, the conspiracies are so outlandish. he probably knew he had a manager he couldnt get rid of and a manager who is incapable of taking us to the champions league anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Wtf man? Where have i defended DU or Thompson? I was making a general point about his tactic to sell more shares. You are actually wrong about him caring about CL money. That money goes to the club, and it's much harder for him and his cronies to skim it away. Added to that, the gamble of keeping all the highly paid players with the chance they would make an arse of qualifying again, and it's not the money maker you think it is. It's a high risk way to make profit. The share issue while we are in div 3 is a win/win for him. Imagine us getting pumped from the CL early and sitting say 10 points behind them in the league. You still think we would all be so keen on buying shares? If we were still in the SPL , then we would still have the old shareholders, and he would have to ask them to shell out again. It's been a perfect storm for green, and him and his buddies will make a killing. Pretty sickening to watch it actually. Sickening was the thought of not having a club at all for many months. The club was saved and I actually would like to see Green have a good happy retirement for that but I believe i'm in a minority. End of the day I can't say much more than that I disagree with your conspiracies, the third division was also a gamble in the sense of the fans may not have stuck with it so much, I can honestly say i'm surprised at our crowds especially when you hear about the hard times of the 80s and that was finishing mid-table in the top flight. CL money could go anywhere the company controlling the club decides, there's nothing more secure about that than a share issue (which the prospectus outlines is going into the club anyway). Add to a settled TV deal and all players under contract there was much easier money to be made IMO. It comes across as you defending them when you deride Green calling them out, what he says about bigotry and their hatred of us is bang on whether the motives are playing to the gallery or not. I prefer it to the dignified silence of Murray and Bain or Whyte threatening to sue people that said a bad word about him personally, are you saying you don't? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's all about opinions, my dad has a great track record in business but isn't always right especially since he's looking at this from the outside, isn't even a Rangers fan. He thought we had too many assets to go into administration for example On the other hand he tends to agree with FS and GS on Green, share issues etc. he is a wiseman then but wrong on the training ground. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but i'd expect there to be a sacrificial lamb at some point if too many threads seem like 'bickering'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Can someone please write an article on this for the site? I was hoping someone would take you up on that. Come on folks, who's going to write an article on the prospectus? More than one is ok too! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
