pmu 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You then simply keep the sp.ivs and their onerous contracts in place, pay what in effect is a sp.iv tax that immediately leaves the club, eventually watch Auchenhowie and Ibrox leave the TRFC balance sheet and the club fade away. No doubt it's a conundrum. Boycotting (or just not going because of product) is unquestionly killing the club. Continuing this as policy will either allow the s*#s to increase their grip by awarding themselves lucrative side deals as "reward" for keeping us afloat or it will lead to another admin or worse event. Probably the latter better in long term as it could have have a cleansing effect, but we had better be ready to endure a scorched earth approach from the encumbents if they try and extract every last drop of blood! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,257 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What compo said helps the club. I can't find any help for the club in what you said.Do you have a solution, that is positive and practical, that would be helpful for the club? The only real solution is tens of millions of pounds or 'offers they can't refuse'. Anything else is varying degrees of pain dependent on what happens......................The claws are in too deep. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Cooper 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Make them an offer they cannot refuse, so i ask again, who is it that has this money waiting to help us out? Where are they? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tomorrow you need money to:- - buy them out at the price they'll want which will be more than the market price. - buy out onerous contracts (or continue to suffer them) - sort out all the other nasty surprises - sort out the footballing infrastructure - maintainence work on Ibrox and Auchenhowie and that's without thinking.... I don't think there is anyone willing to go that far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You wonder what resources were wasted on Wallace's 120 day review. What a joke that was! Are we the only club in Scottish football that doesn't have a scout? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we the only club in Scottish football that doesn't have a scout? Our signing policy and hit/miss ratio was no better when we had scouts either. It doesn't seem to matter, what matters is the man having the final say on the players he wants and right now that is our handicap. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan Chester, Neil Murray, Bomber etc. I don't think we have ever had anything close to resembling an adequate scouting network. I can't think of many gems we have unearthed in the past 20 years from obscurity. Gattuso perhaps? Though we dropped the ball there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Exactly mate. David Murray used a scatter gun approach and the club never got out of that, we are still doing it today. Signing for the sake of signing. No thought, no planning, no nothing, just rubbish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I find it a bit embarrassing that people talk about inspiring substitutions today when we were able to bring on Black and Templeton who each likely earn more than the whole of the opposition. We are Rangers, that should still count for something. With the resources at our disposal we should be winning week in week out in these leagues by a few goals with grace. If Jim Mcintrye and Ally swapped posts today the scoreline would have been a lot different. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
