John, or anyone else in the know. Apologies if I’ve totally missed this but there was chat of 2 midfielders potentially coming. Any news on if and who?
1.) 23 Aug 2024 19:27:58
Apparently we are very close to signing an experienced CDM, based off posts earlier today that could be Joan Jordan as that is potentially back on and we have been linked with a young lad from Benfica.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 20:11:45
We're not signing nobody unless there at outgoings.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 21:31:08
Has John Fleck signed for anyone yet?
4.) 23 Aug 2024 22:30:13
Would love it if there was any truth in the Joan Jordan deal being reignited. Exactly what we are needing. ?.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 23:06:53
Dothebouncy - that one could be a deadline day panic move from us ??.
6.) 24 Aug 2024 03:04:06
The last thing we need is a player who doesn’t really want to be here… pretty sure if Jordan wanted the move it would have been done weeks ago….
7.) 24 Aug 2024 09:34:46
I'm starting to think they will announce Fleck in a fanfare type thing all happy and smiles.
8.) 24 Aug 2024 18:39:50
Strummer not what's been said today. More incomings than outgoings next week.
9.) 24 Aug 2024 18:43:29
Is Flexk fit to play just now? If so then why not give him a short term deal….
10.) 24 Aug 2024 21:06:00
Fleck hasn't played for a year it's over.
18 Aug 2024 15:07:03
Question for John or indeed anyone else in the know, any truth in the rumours of an imminent takeover / investment from overseas?
1.) 18 Aug 2024 15:18:39
Hope so!
2.) 18 Aug 2024 15:38:18
No mate, just the usual lies coming from peoples x feeds.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 15:52:35
Ah, the "overseas investment"! Is it that time again?!
4.) 18 Aug 2024 16:09:07
Sunshine, yep, here we go again!
We are struggling (again! ) and again the 0verseas investment pops up.
Been hearing it for as long as I can recall.
5.) 18 Aug 2024 16:19:15
There has been interest and given the folks that spoke with me about this I am confident that this was factual. Names of interested parties, both UK based and South Africa based were mentioned by myself and others, including John
I have heard on a number of occasions regarding interest from existing shareholders, not necessarily shareholders currently on the Board, but unless there is another share issue, (which I would suggest is unlikely at present), any interested party would need to acquire the shares from existing shareholders and in the short term that does not benefit the Club financially, (although it might actually benefit the Club in terms of Corporate Governance) .
Add to the above the fact that we need to have willing sellers and while I understand that both King and Parks would be willing to sell, King has indicated in the past that he was offered a deal to sell and declined and Park, most likely as with others will inevitably want to exit at a premium and right now I would suggest that this would be a tall order.
With the rumoured new CEO we are securing a seasoned campaigner, well respected for the work that he has done in the Charity Sector and equally someone that is majorly respected by the IOD in Scotland. His track record at St Mirren, albeit at a Club with a significantly smaller supporter base is excellent.
Rangers cannot continue as they have been. Our supporter owner base is significant but financially I would doubt that they can take the club forward and I doubt if some of the existing Board can inject the sort of funds needed to take us forward and they have already proved that commercially they lack in ideas to develop the club and I would even go so far as to say that they have failed to exercise proper Governance and fulfil the duties of a NED.
I would still expect to see investment, if as anticipated, Gillespie comes in as CEO, he is perfect to steady the ship, improve Corporate Governance and restructure the Business side of the Club so that we have a good chance of passing any relative due diligence by a prospective Investor, (or take over bid) . The caveat in all of this is that there would be sufficient interest from existing shareholders, especially this on the Board, to sell their shareholding and give up their Club perks. (As far as the Supporter Shareholding is concerned I suspect that the Group would support any new Investor with ambition and a strategy to take us forward) .

Which sea? Hollywood star? man or woman, I'm hoping for Ana de Armas or Blake Lively her man likes football she might want her own club .
7.) 18 Aug 2024 16:49:46
Very well written post Berkshire, I’m told Park intends to transfer his shares to his son Graeme.
8.) 18 Aug 2024 17:03:32
God help us John if true I know he very unpopular among the supporters.
9.) 18 Aug 2024 19:44:54
Thanks Berkshireblue, your input is always appreciated plus it is also well put.
10.) 18 Aug 2024 20:13:38
Berkshire another cracking post well written with excellent insight and info
Keep it coming mate very much appreciated ??.
11.) 18 Aug 2024 20:16:56
G4 that is the first thing i thought when i read that.
12.) 19 Aug 2024 08:14:24
Berkshire, a very well written post.
13.) 19 Aug 2024 09:00:44
Thanks Berkshire .
14.) 19 Aug 2024 09:26:47
Bb how would new investment or takeover help the team on the park, I understand the cost cutting is to bring us in line with FFP rules for next season so even if a rich Arab bought us out we can't go out and spend what we want.
15.) 19 Aug 2024 11:14:41
Onewalter rich Arab can sort out many things and quicker than the dumplings we have and no doubt income could improve with real pro business people in charge .

The whole fact that we’re 4 games into the season and folk already saying PC isn’t the man and who do we get next sums up the mentality of a lot of the rangers fans. We drew against hearts and got beaten from Celtic. He’s brought 11 new players in and is at the start of a rebuild. I can’t remember one single fan on here question anything about PC after we’d beat hearts 5-0 at ibrox last year, were top of the league after clawing back an 8 point deficit and with the same team he’d inherited. Not one complaint, yet now the Nostradamus amongst us is saying he’s showed nothing since he came in and he’s a dead man walking. Honestly what a fickle bunch we are at times. These will be the same fans jumping about singing his name if he gets it turned round.
1.) 06 Sep 2024 14:24:40
Post of the season so far alloager1.
2.) 06 Sep 2024 14:41:46
Fair enough but we then bottled it at the end so maybe some fans are thinking about that.
3.) 06 Sep 2024 15:54:01
Why does it some up the mentality? Everyone wanted Beale out at the start of the season and we were spot on! So why all of a sudden does it some up mentality?
4.) 06 Sep 2024 20:22:06
It sums up the mentality because last year he was the messiah with an inherited team and this year we’re 4 league games into a massive rebuild and folk calling for him to walk! I guarantee the same folk would be on here wetting their pants about him if he turned it around.
5.) 07 Sep 2024 06:36:21
So was Beale when he took over, but everyone was right when they wanted him out. So why is that mentality any different now?
25 Aug 2024 13:30:53
Hopefully PC does as he says and goes right at them next week. No reason why our front 3 yesterday can’t can’t cause their defence massive problems. If we sit off them and allow their full backs to bomb forward and their centre back waltzing up to the half way line with the ball then we’re in trouble.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 16:47:54
Keep it tight for first 20 mins. they tend to score early.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 17:29:10
Attack them from the off is our best chance of 3 points.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 17:31:48
Go for the jugular early.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 17:48:40
Davie do u not mean 20 seconds.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 17:53:19
Hope we score early and silence them.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 18:11:12
When do we really go for the jugular against teams, forget yesterday Sunday will be completely different, need to be prepared to work as hard as we can and not stand off them, if we leave big spaces early they will utilise that, important that we keep our shape at all times, chances will come, keep saying it when we go there, give ourselves a chance by keeping it tight but it never happens, and being clinical when a chance comes along.
7.) 26 Aug 2024 09:24:39
Just don't brick it and give them any easy goals like we done last season.
I think Barron will play a huge role and I hope Dessers has a great game (yes i said it! LOL:) )
17 Aug 2024 17:33:45
Here’s to a good win today and continue to improve. We are where we are but for some fans in here earlier to suggest we’ll be lucky to finish second and potentially 3rd or 4th, get a grip . And if you’re serious that we won’t finish at least 2nd then feel free to get in touch and I’ll bet as much as you want that we will.
1.) 17 Aug 2024 19:58:21
2nd is nothing we need to be winning.
2.) 17 Aug 2024 19:58:47
Have to agree alloa, we will canter second barring crazy injuries. If we didn't the manager would have a lot to answer for. We don't have a great team but it's for sure miles better than any other, other than that lot. Big jefte is going to be a player for us once settled and more confident. In pc's defence I think it's clear cerny isn't fit, so obvious today.
3.) 17 Aug 2024 20:46:16
I would take that bet as well Alloa, said earlier more chance of us winning it than finishing 3rd.
06 Aug 2024 20:53:03
Delighted for the big man, put himself about and ran himself into the ground all night.
02 Aug 2024 14:30:14
So much for Clement being unhappy and ready to quit.

John you’re like me, I remember the good old days, £90 for a 3 game champions league package.
09 Sep 2024 14:31:18
We’ll play him right mid ?.
09 Sep 2024 14:30:18
Well said!
08 Sep 2024 20:29:04
Running down the contract isn’t holding the club to ransome, that’s what we done with Brian Laudrup. If we didn’t want them to leave we should have sold them earlier. This happens all the time with Bosmans so I don’t see why we should be exempt. It was just poor decision making from Rangers that cost us.
