Frankie 8,675 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 When it comes to stuff in the media, obviously games can and will be played and although Jackson may well be at the lash (he fell out with King at a Glasgow hotel last year apparently) he has enough contacts to be right now and again. In this case I think he's wrong but that's only because the manager looks perfectly happy (if as frustrated as the rest of us). However, it won't be the first time a manager, a player or a board member has used the press to try and force an issue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 6,017 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Sorry, but you do him too much credit; Jackson is a paid whore, and, surprisingly for a peddler of cliche, not one with a heart of gold. Cast your mind back to Traynor's valedictory article in the Record, (which, extraordinarily, was actually printed!) to remind yourself of where the monkey lies, and where the monkeys lie. Jackson lacks talent, and principles, and thus neither can, nor will, move elsewhere. Edited February 1, 2017 by Uilleam 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 WRT his story about McKay & Leipzig......That is EXACTLY the type of stories that we need more of. Whether true or not, it gets a high price for our players out there. Chances are that if a team is looking @ McKay, they will see that story stating he's worth £6.5m - that will then influence any bids that come in for him. Ceptic have been doing this for years - just look at the stories about Dumbell-end....£40m bids!!!! We need to make the media work more for us, especially in the transfer market. If you're happy reading his constant lies about Rangers then carry on buying the crappy paper that employs him. I won't be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 If you're happy reading his constant lies about Rangers then carry on buying the crappy paper that employs him. I won't be. I haven't bought the DR for 2.5 years due to the lies & mis-information they printed about the Indy Ref. The point is that we must take the rough with the smooth (to an extent). Yes, for the most part Jackson talks a load of mince, but we need to use that more in our favour. The more you pi55 of these guys, the more they're gonna try and screw you over. Someone within RFC, should be "buttering" more journo's up & getting them onside. By doing that, the balance of favourable & non-favourable articles begins to tip. It is NOT a good idea to get on the wrong side of the main stream media....they can print 1/2 truths in nice big bold letters on their back pages, then issue a tiny wee retraction days later buried deep within the pages. Remember the old adage: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to this the financial sway that rahoops has over the Daily Rhedtop, and you can cosy up all you like to its employees - it will make no difference. You would require to lend it an infinite no. of chimps, with an infinite no. of keyboards, and an infinite amount of time, to have the slightest chance of generating a good story about Rangers in its newsrooms. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, given the extremely cosy , potentially incestuous relationship, between that rhag and the Scumtic management, you would simply have wasted a large number of chimps! The rhebel, its editorial staff and reporters, both newsroom sic. Jane Hamilton and sportsdesk have sucked at the teat of Lawell for too long to change. They are all Lawells bitches and the sooner this rhag goes to the wall the better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
