Leggat - ANTI- JIM McCOLL MEN LOOK AS NEUTRAL AS IRISH FREE STATE IN 1940


Recommended Posts

WITH the Rangers Annual General Meeting now set for just days before Christmas, every Rangers supporters has a decision to make.

 

Which side to back.

 

Either the current incumbents, including a new chairman with Arab banking connections, or the Jim McColl-Paul Murray side, complete with Nominees, along with Dave King, who will surely be ushered into the Blue Room if the Nominees win.

 

It is make your mind up time. There can be no more supposed fence sitting. Those few supporters who claim to be neutral are running out of time and coming to the end of their rope.

 

This motley crew must stop picking their collective nose and pick a side. Claiming neutrality will just not hack it any more. Though it is interesting to note that those on one minority supporters’ site who are firmly in any camp except that of the Nominees, are supportive of the anonymous people who claim to be neutral. Yet they are hostile to those who back the Jim McColl-Paul Murray Nominees.

 

Strange, that

 

Especially when victory for the Nominees is what it would take open the way for the return of Dave King and all the desperately-needed-by-Rangers financial clout that would mean.

 

Neutrality is a strange thing. Especially on important matters. For instance, does anyone believe IRA man Eamon de Valera’s Irish Free State was really neutral in 1940 when Britain stood alone in our darkest and subsequently Finest Hour?

 

No, I didn’t think so.

 

In fact, I do not believe those who are masquerading as neutrals during this darkest hour for Rangers, are any more neutral towards Jim McColl, Paul Murray and the Nominees than the IRA Irish Free State was neutral towards Britain in 1940.

 

Yet still they cling to the falsehood that if only Jim McColl and Paul Murray would tell them what their plans are if they win they would have their backing.

 

Maybe these folk did not pay close attention to Jim McColl’s classy interview on Sky last week. Or maybe they are getting their muddled message from the increasingly bizarre Jack Irvine. Or maybe Jack Irvine’s favourite blogger is despatching the message to the neutral corner, direct from Camelot.

 

However, for their benefit, what Jim McColl said was that he knows the Blue Chip City of London Institutional Investors, the men who asked him to lead the campaign by putting his signature at the head of the original Requisition, have told him they will invest more when they are satisfied with the personnel in the Blue Room.

 

Which by definition - and despite all last minute moves by the anonymous investors from the shadowy Blue Pitch Holdings and Margarita Holdings with their Arab connections to add a veneer of respectability in the shape of a new chairman with Arab banking links - still means the men Jim McColl backs.

 

And that will include Dave King if the Nominees are elected. It could not be more clear cut and more certain than that. Jim McColl has told everyone what will be delivered. And Jim McColl is a man of honour, an open book and man of probity whose word and name carries a great deal of weight with those Blue Chip investors in the Square Mile.

 

What Jim McColl has promised will be delivered to Ibrox is the money Rangers are running short of. The cash which will be needed if Rangers are to get back to knocking Celtic off their perch and winning a 55th Scottish title.

 

McColl is a man of his word. That is a proven fact. If he is not an actually billionaire – and he told me he isn’t - then he is not far short of being one. But the important fact is, he is trusted by the men who call the shots for the Blue Chip Institutional Investors in the City of London.

 

Yet a small, a very small, and increasingly demented looking band of Rangers fans, continue to ridicule him while insisting they are neutral.

 

My belief is they have a lot in common with the Irish Free State in 1940 when it comes to Neutrality and little in common with the vast majority of Rangers supporters.

I'm all for a heavy dose of satire, but in this case Leggo would have been better just cutting to the chase and saying what he means in plain English, since his insinuation of timposters within a certain camp is really quite simple and may even have some merit.
