Rangersitis 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 We need wartime leaders who are not put off by poisonous spin standing on Edmiston drive informing us on what's going on and what should all do together. The UoF fans know what we should do but they don't have the gravitas Ally, Walter and Greig have. I'm over this Saturday with my two wee girls and would happily show my support. Show your support by setting fire to your fifty quid admission money in front of Easdale as he enters Ibrox. That is the only language they understand. Get another few hundred to do the same and a strong message will be sent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 For any other club in the world in our position Saturday would be a day of strong protest and fans gathering outside the stadium on matchday and causing chaos. But in reality what will happen will be nothing. The game will pass with the Easedales etc going about their business as normal, without any 'challenge' form the fans. There will be no mass protest on Edmiston Drive and there will be no havoc caused. This whole thing is a complete shamble and a mess - but WE have allowed them to create this mess. Does anyone honesly thing the ****s would still be in this mess almost 3 years after the event ?? It hurts me to say it, but their mob would have sorted this out long before now. WE have been dreadful at getting off our backsides and really taking it to them. Instead, we're argued amongst ourselves, sat on the internet and virtually done nothing constructive. Quite frankly, we should have stormed the main doors by now and relaimed our club ! They have taken this piss out of us for the past few years because they know we are a soft touch - and that should be a horrible message to every bear out there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMc 2,768 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Dear Ally, Go now and call up your friends Walter and John Greig. From there command a Blue Army to lay siege to Ibrox and chase the bastards back to England/Greenock. Much obliged Better someone on the outside being ignored or on the inside keeping watch? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,768 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 In the past I'd have said on the inside but that hasn't worked. Walter and Ally could easily create havoc for the board by rounding up the troops on Edmiston Drive. Together we could stop the club functioning day to day until the sp1vs go. You've far more faith in direct action than I do. Look at the state of the club, if we're not mobilised by now we never will be. I've felt for a while that many in our support simply want someone else to do the work. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Very true. Some even like to wait for it then step in as if they've been part of the heavy lifting. Agree with you on ever being mobilised, but I keep thinking that something will give and 2/3 people are capable of switching on the light bulb. Llambias will be looking into that now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 His will be the pound land energy saver which never really brightens up a room. On a serious note, if you look at what has happened up until now without there being any real protest, there will be nothing done in the future. The bones will be picked clean and the vultures move on to their next carcass. That is when there will be a chance to do things right. It's a depressing thought. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Spot on from John Brown: Former Rangers defender John Brown has warned the Ibrox support that the club's woes will not end with Ally McCoist's resignation. The Light Blues' board finally confirmed that McCoist had given 12 months' notice of his intention to quit on Monday morning after a weekend of speculation. The club issued a 7am statement to the London Stock Exchange in which they said they now planned to hold talks with McCoist. They also confirmed the manager's salary would rise to £750,000 for his final year of employment. Reports over the weekend suggested the 52-year-old was quitting in a bid to shift the focus away from his performance as boss and back on to the way the Glasgow giants are being run. But Brown - who was in the same Gers team as McCoist which won nine successive titles - insists Rangers will continue to suffer so long as the likes of Sandy Easdale and Mike Ashley are calling the shots behind the scenes. The former Dundee boss said: "Ally McCoist has given fans so many happy memories over the seasons as a player and in the recent times where he has given them back-to-back promotions. "He's had to put up with so much. He's had no support. The Easdales and others should hold their heads in shame. "But I honestly couldn't care what the fans are thinking about performances. Their club has a cancer in it and it needs to get cut out. "People need to wise up. Changing the manager is not going to change the situation. Until the Rangers fans realise that, their club is going to be in a sorry, sorry position." Some of the financial figures since the club was reformed in 2012 have been astonishing. It was announced earlier this year that almost £70million had been spent in the first two years following the club's liquidation meltdown. This year's accounts, released last month, show another £8.3million loss and that the club requires a similar sum just to survive until the end of the financial year. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley - who also holds a nine per cent stake in the Light Blues - has given the club a £3million loan but Brown is alarmed at the way the money is being spent. This year's accounts show that former chief executive Graham Wallace earned £378,000 from the day he joined the company on November 20, 2013, until the end of June, almost half of which was a bonus. Wallace also earned a £100,000 pay-off when he quit in October. Former finance director Brian Stockbridge, who left halfway through the season, earned £218,000. The club also stated that Stockbridge earned a £216,000 severance package. Another former chief executive, Craig Mather, received a £350,000 severance deal while ex-director Philip Nash made £131,412 in consultancy fees in the first six months of this year. Meanwhile, around 10 backroom employees were made redundant last month. Brown said: "Ashley has upped his shareholding in recent weeks and brought people in. But then we have seen people with a long service at Rangers, 40 years and more, being shown the door. "All the players know who these folk are - they were part of the family. So when you see that happening so know that things are ultimately just going to end in tears again. "It's soul-destroying. These folk who have left were not on big money but you have got so many people in the boardroom looking after their pals and handing out golden handshakes. It's disgusting."
