decision time for us the fans the board have broke there side of the deal way david king and the fans what a surprise there king should never had aloud them time at all delaying tactics that all they are good at empty promises I urge every rangers fan to put your money in to the trust because king is the only one we can trust simple the rest shouldn't be anywer near the club go with king or throw your money down the drain no who gets ma vote

Quite agree craigs - without stating the obvious, we - the fans - have been lied to again. Who do you trust - who can you trust. the whole game is a house of cards and it looks like it's going to collapse - again.
The 120 day review becomes the 'ongoing' review. the CEO has now lost ALL credibilty. forget the manager as he has none. as my granny would say - we're humped.

Read the statement from the rangers board tonight and for dave king to bring up this before tomorrows game is a disgrace and I've said before if we don't buy season tickets rangers will be gone forever

Wha deal if d king made a deal why was it anounced to all bears I might live in a small backwater but I never heard anything of once again we are put in aposi tion where we don't know the right story because I am as suspicious of d king as I am the bandits if he wants what's good for club let him put his money where his mouth is I buy enough shares to swing balance against the bandits I reckon abot 20%would be enough no harm to club and everyone is awinner and everthing could be in place for start of new season including a manager but fellow bears beleive me this action d king is calling for could have serious ramifications for the club push the bandits into a corner there is no saying what they will do to get there money back with profit so bewarned

@lbj d mate he can't buy shares if nobodys selling @2 let's be honest what dk has said or done will make no difference to how terrible the team will play tomorrow also if we buy s/t the money will just disappear like the rest of the millions that's gone

Lbj d, I agree totally, we are between a rock and a hard place, but to follow King, under his terms, will open a can of worms that will be disaster for any future our club may have. If the board and current investors are cornered, nothing will be left to be salvaged.

Illy b that's spot on acertainty I wish in was as sure of the winner of national at ayr the morra or betterstill lottery co sure as the cats a hairy beast it will happen

@lbj d. do we continue to be blackmailed in to buying our ST's, for them to syphon off their cut?
I cannot continue to fund these bandits in the hope that things will get better, it wont. There is no investors willing to put money in. It is us (the loyal fans) that are getting fleeced and if we don't starve them now, the inevitable will happen before next season is out anyway they want their last big pay day, our £10m season ticket money! which they will use for line own pockets and still force Administration 2. don't kid yourself that buying your ST will save our club, they have no interest in it at all, apart from the robbery of our assets which have been stripped. Messrs Somers and Wallace have done nothing to gain our confidence. take off your blue tinted glasses and accept the truth, this board have US in their pockets and won't let go until WE have made them VERY rich.

@5. Seriously?. following the current board is the attitude of a Lemming! Go jump off the cliff mate. or, trust a man who tells the truth. NO MONEY, NO PLAN, NO SCOUTS, FAILING STADIUM, glad you think this is the option. Give money to men who are proven to be hopeless at Football Business Acumen. Revolution!, only way forward. Now all of you GROW UP!

N7 and n8 yous have got it spot on I posted on here when board asked for 120 days that time would fall at renewing book time the mob that are running us into the ground do this for a living they are asset strippers no hearts no rangers men among them they will not only be performing this at ibrox they will be stripping other companies that are in trouble its how these barstewards make a living ime all for dave king let's face it he could not be any worse than this lot

I trust Richard Gough to have the best interests of Rangers at heart but I also trust Ally Mccoist do I trust King? I really don't know, to come away with this on the eve of a Scottish cup semi is NOT putting Rangers first why not wait till tomorrow? The stakes are too high here and I think the damage is done there will be too many people not renewing on the strenght of Kings statement so its fingers crossed time and that is not a good position to be in. I don't do politics and I can't see how renewing can harm our club so that's where I am.

Its not r gough I don't trust I am suspicious of dking and rust bandits even less as far as big bear says there would be shares for sale at 40p another 20%would be enough possibly less to take control if all like minded bears pooled there share holding I am fearful that bandits will sell club up for abigger pay day if pushed I have been saying this for months

Ayr bear, I have no time for current regime but if you honestly think DK's plans will sort it out your wrong. It will finish Rangers as we know them.
Do you think the current investors will lie down and just accept it. My ass they will.
My opinion, they will get loans against what they can and recoup their cash.
Then you will have no money, no team, no need to worry about scouts, no stadium etc. Worst of all you will have a manager.
Instead of us growing up, your like minded should open your eyes and waken up to the real world.

OP the board have not broke any promises YET they asked for 120 days back in december and I think that is up on the 17th april. There are no people coming forward with answers, is with holding our ST money the answer I don't know but I do know that potentially it could be catastrophic we are between a rock and a hard place. For me we must renew and work for change from within what other options are there?

Billyb. Understand your point, however, one group have to go cap in hand to borrow 1m, and one man says he can bring 50m. Who do you want in charge?

Ayr Bear, In all honesty, I would prefer Dave King, but not in the manner he is trying to get the fans to adopt. That will ruin us, and there will be no way back. His £50m is just pie in the sky and he is trying to USE the fans with no output from himself.

Ask the dave king camp how many shares he has just now not many me thinks if he was desperate to own club he could have bought it out of liquidatiion for a fraction of the 30/50 million he claims can put in its a simple case for d king put his own money where his mouth is

N16 apart from dave kings money being untouchable due to court case in SA once duff and duffer got involved there was only going to be one winner

You are all missing the fundamental problem here. if the current investors do not want to dilute their current investment then DK gets nowhere. The club goes bust and the assets are sod off to recoup the money BUT you can bet your last penny they won't be sold off for the pennies they were the last time. A lot of hot air, saying the right thing to get the hordes baying for blood. maybe the current board have got it right, cut costs, live within your means, sustainable business plan going forward. maybe not the pots of cash you all think DK will deliver but it will ensure your clubs survival. Stick or twist?

come on gers get big alex mcleish back in the managers chair, chase fat sally out now, he will just sit there brass neck with no shame taking wages he does not deserve we honestly could not play any worse if we had a amateur boys brigade coach, get him out now, the mans a joke

I agree we need a new manager Spivs Out just not sure we want Big Alec back

Please not McLeish or Smith just someone who believes in good football, I cannot take any more of this negative 19th century football we have put up with for the last ten years. Please.

I knew we could not agree for ever macoist out aye but not macleish in he was not asucess down south

Jimmy calderwood would be a good manager I think, has done well everywhere he's been, and knows football inside out, wouldn't be big wages, but has an orange face, and plays with himself, but could do worse.

Stuart mccall all day long good at working on a small budget and getting the best out his teams and his whole staff including scouting system would cost ally, s wages just my opinion.

An interesting fact about Rangers, Dundee Utd. Scottish cup-ties is that it is 25years since we beat them. We've had some good teams in that period and still got humped. For me personally, the 1994 final when they won 1-0 was probably our worst display in that era.
Worst final I attended was the 4-0 thrashing by the east end mob in 70/71.
My first final was St Mirren v Aberdeen in 1959 and one of the few non Rangers finals I attended.
Back to United cup ties, I see we are 2/1, to-morrow, to win. I hate to say it, but I do not think we have a snowball's chance in hell.
I really hope I am wrong but fear the worst.

Utd at 11/10 seems easy money. I just don't think I have it in me to bet against us. Also good money on Aberdeen at Evs they played fantastic on Monday I think they will have too much for St Johnstone again.

The problem for me is I do believe we have the players capable of beating united we just don't have the organisation or management to achieve it.

I beleive although I rant and rave we do have the players the infrastructure etc that's all coach or management as jose says zero we can only hope the morra god is a proddie because that's the only way we will win

We might have the players but not in form. We chased " unbeaten status " in the league to the detriment of the cups.

We didn't rest or rotate the squad, never dropped poor performers, didn't promote talent from Murray Park and key players are now injured or not match fit. Too late now to recruit from the youth and play debutantes. Our own doing.

@1- If only Black had the same attitude as you Larky.
I never bet on Rangers, for or against. Just a daft wee superstition I have.

@baybear its no daft there's nothing worse when its your own team that gubs your coupon

Yes LB, I have never bet against Rangers and I don't intend to start now.
I am not even going to watch it but no doubt the laptop and teletext will be well used. [That is while we're still in the game. ]

Actually billyb wee Ally has led a fairly charmed life and you don't score the number of goals he did for us without being lucky.
Common sense and watching United and then us tells you we should get completely humped tomorrow- but?
If the best team wins then they are in the final already but some times the diddy team (us) prevails. But I am not betting on it but what the odds that wee Black is?
