The Rangers are back - not everyone is happy

 

The Rangers are back in the Scottish Premier League. Through a 1: 0 win against Dumbarton the champions the ascent secured four rounds remaining prematurely to the top flight - after four years of hard slog through the lower leagues. That soon pending the "Old Firm" derby against city rivals Celtic, is for league certainly a profit. The circumstances surrounding the work-up of the scandal of 2012 left but a more than bad aftertaste.

The Rangers had a number of chances, but at the end of a goal from James Tavernier was sufficient to retract the three counters. The traditional club now has 17 point lead and is therefore no longer obtain by prosecutors Falkirk and Hibernian.

 

In the first half the guests from Dumbarton enervated the team of Rangers manager Mark Warburton with a resolute defensive tactics. At the beginning of the second section of the bolt was cracked but crucial, as Forrester with a clever pass Holt sent on the journey and whose cross was Tavernier improve confidence.

 

"The Rangers are back", the fans sang at Ibrox Park for some time. If you look at it exactly, but that's not true. For the club, the 54 league titles won (world record!), There are since 2012 no longer eventually. After years of mismanagement and deliberate fraud, the club had filed for bankruptcy four years ago, the operating company was liquidated.

Scandalous circumstances the new beginning

 

The new beginning got scandalous for several reasons: Firstly, the successor company "The Rangers Football Club Limited" was allowed to be exempt from all burdens and start over in the 4th league and had not, as originally intended for new clubs, start in the Siebtklassigkeit bottom. Secondly - and this is the much larger Aufreger - of the 167 million euros of debt today was repaid no penny!

 

Alone for tax and social security are still outstanding 116 million euros. is driven consistently the money from the tax authorities but not. Other bankrupt clubs like Dundee United, Motherwell or Heart of Midlothian contrast were asked resolutely to checkout.

 

In addition: The cream pieces from the bankrupt (stadium and training ground) bought the Englishman Charles Green, initially Chairman of the new company, for a song.

Repayments requires the state only of former coaches and players. 80 of them (including Stefan Klos and Christian Nerlinger) had been paid between 2001 and 2010 with an opaque loan scheme through an offshore company. Without tax payments.

On April 17, is again the "Old Firm" -Duell against Celtic at

 

After the climb is now done, the Rangers forward to 17 April: Then is in the Cup semi-final at the duel with Celtic. That future back regularly "Old Firm" -Derbys pending, the appeal will undoubtedly increase again after years of Celtic dominance. The home crowd were the Rangers faithful anyway (34,307 season tickets in League 2). Until neutral observers the returnees are weighed again, likely in the face of anger about the circumstances but still some time pass.

 

Written by a guy called Phil Gordon who seemingly writes for Kicker. Seemingly he has an anti-Rangers past.

No doubt 26th will be able to tell us more.

[der Berliner 3,563]

Oh, rest assured, we already gave Kicker hell about it. They'll not change it, as, like over here, journalists want to have all their freedoms, but care little about responsibilities.

 

Phil Gordon once wrote for the Herald etc every now and then, and yes, he's a Yahoo too, according to his own admissions ...

 

Phil Gordon has been a football writer for over 20 years, cutting his teeth on the kids’ magazine Shoot - his own fave food is still scampi and chips - before broadening his horizons in England with the Northern Echo then moving home to the Evening Times, where he covered Celtic for five years in the Nineties. Scotland on Sunday then picked him up in a transfer swoop but for the last ten years he has been freelance, principally for The Times and The Independent, as well as serving a host of European magazines, including Germany’s prestigious Kicker.

 

He saw his first Celtic match at the age of six in December 1966, allowing him to witness the Lisbon Lions before they became famous. He has covered Celtic at home and abroad, everywhere from the back of a farm truck in a Dutch backwater on summer tour, to the vertiginous Nou Camp press box. As a writer, he was delighted to discover that his childhood hero, Bobby Lennox, did not have clay feet, and was privileged to witness the peerless Henrik Larsson.

 

Phil Gordon wrote ‘The Shadows of the Night’, ‘Seeing Red’, ‘European Gold’ and interviewed Murdo MacLeod, Lou Macari, Danny McGrain, Davie Provan, Roy Aitken, Paul Lambert, Shunsuke Nakamura and, last but not least, Tommy Burns, shortly before his death.

this is the tosser who was on Kay Adams show yesterday. You wonder why the BBC would want him to give his opinion on Rangers return to the top flight. Maybe the same reason they had McGillivan on to talk about sectarianism in Scottish football a few years ago

[26th of foot 6,000]

After McCann rescued ra Sellik, he set about formalising their media profile. He wanted all ra Sellik minded inside the tent pissing out, including Matt McGlone of the Alternative View. He was rewarded with a column in ra Sellik View for the next five years. The Murricane family, heavily involved with Radio Snyde's head honcho, Jimmy Gordon; began organising Sellik TV, and Joe Sullivan took over as Editor of ra Sellik programme. An overseer was needed to tie the various media sections together, step forward old Aloysiusian, Phil Gordon.

 

Poison Pen Phil had been spitting venom at all things Rangers for a decade or more, began at the Evening Times, moved up to the Herald, appeared regularly on STV, .............................. arrived at ra Sellik for a couple of years, moved to the Times, various Sunday broadsheets, ............................. has been freelance the last decade.

 

There is some serious competition for uber hater status, Phil challenges fiercely, year in, year out.

Our club has been sadly lacking in the PR department for years and is something that needs to be addressed as a priority now that we are back in the top league!,all the lies and hatred directed towards us is only going to get worse,we(the club/board) need to fight back at every opportunity starting immediately!.

When MON arrived at ra Stydome, Sellik devised a media strategy to ensure he had the time and space to effect change. Wee Poison Pen Phil and Kevin McCara were tasked to get around all those in both print and broadcast media sympatheitic(Sellik Minded) and ensure a disciplined approach. Remember MON's constant mantra about Rangers being the benchmark? Expectations were managed, ra Sellik the vicTims against the establishment, and their favourites, Rangers.

 

The only mistake they made was at the end of the season, ra Sellik acknowledged the value and usefulness of the Tim media raft by hosting a slap up boozy lunch at One Devonshire Gardens(Hotel du Vin). They rewarded them for providing what was demanded, and paid willingly. It was accepted that eighteen journos benefited, all the usual suspects, including Spiers. Of course, he was the one that let it out the bag, he is a garrulous drunk.

 

Should our club cultivate a similar raft of opinion?

It wasn't just the mhedia they controlled was it?

Can we have a moratorium on posting spurious drivel by known bigots and Rangers-haters?

I understand it's as well to know what folk are saying but we really are dealing with all the usual erseholes excreting the usual, biased keech that we've all heard before.

Posting garbage like the subject should be encouraged and derided. There is another concerted campaign against us ongoing at this moment and it's gathering pace. We ignore these buffoons at our peril. We tried that before and it didn't work.
