ComeOffit 0 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The difference between having sponsors on shirts, and re-naming the stadium are pretty stark and obvious in terms of the media. They never say, lets go check on Rangers, sponsored by Tennents, but they do say, lets go check on Rangers at Ibrox/Sports direct stadium. A crucial difference for me in that argument. It's blatantly clear why Ashley has now become invovled with us. If his own club wont accept a name change of stadium, why the fuck should we accept it. Will it make us so much stronger-NO. Will it help us win the CL-NO. Will it make us a laughing stock-Quite probably. At a time when we are telling anyone that will listen that we are still the same club, along come these twats to change one of the most recognisable things about us. The name of our stadium. Maybe I would feel differently if I was 100% sure of all this "extra money" being used on players. But that I very much doubt. We now have hungry shareholders to satsify, and to fuck with any thoughts of tradition, and being a little bit different from most other clubs. It will ba a sad day indeed, the day this stupid fucking sell-out new name goes above Ibrox. Fuck you green, and fuck you ashley. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So despite all the ranting about tradition it yet again comes back to your annoyance that Green isn't spunking all our money on average players and the certainty that he's stealing it all? I guess it would be ok if it was the fantasy Rangers supporting billionaire making the decision, or even your mate Murray? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If we are going to sell our soul for a quick buck, we can at least make sure it is of significant benefit to the team. Selling the naming rights for less than they are worth stinks of cheap advertising form ashley, helped by his buddy green. Have you got any idea how much it costs to get your companies name on national tv, radio and newspapers every week? I can assure you, it will be a lot more than that geordie prick is paying us for the pleasure of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds pretty in line with most of these deals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Newcastle love is a recent affectation. I've no idea if he's a prick, he might be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, if you're saying you don't mind if the money is spent well why not wait and see? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
