01 Mar 2015 23:53:22
Keep yer celebrations in check as L & L will still be MA puppets in charge

02 Mar 2015 07:55:14
Can L&L do what they like with the second £5m loan this week if they are the only board members?

02 Mar 2015 13:47:15
Ally's. I don't think they will be at our club, after the e.g.m. Bye lol.

02 Mar 2015 22:52:12
I also posted on here last night that dave king said his first priority would be the removal of llambias and leach, though the post never appeared,

{Ed039's Note - i was editing last night and never seen said post)

01 Mar 2015 19:56:22
I wonder now if mccoist n mcdowell will waive their rights to compensation pay offs now kings gaining control. Would seem the decent thing to do and let us start looking for a new manager asap. Think it's the least they could do after the state they've left the playing side in.

01 Mar 2015 20:40:11
Sorry cb, can't agree with that, maybe AMC could give up his or part of his wage, but this is their livelihood, it pays for their family's and home, would you?, I'm not saying they deserve it, but its what they signed a contract for, in KMd case he didn't apply to be the manager of Rangers, he was put there, not up to it fair enough, but to expect him to walk away from his wages is something none of us would do unless we were rich, which admittedly Ally may well be,

{Ed039's Note - Its fine Tommy, he didnt read his contract anyway)

01 Mar 2015 20:41:06
absolutely no chance

01 Mar 2015 20:48:11
Craigton bear I think mccoist will rip up his contract once the new board are announced, though I don't know about k McDowell, maybe get employed else where, but still in the club, ie murray park .maybe.

01 Mar 2015 21:20:31
He was regarded as a great coach after all, unless oniel, Strachan and smith were all wrong,

01 Mar 2015 22:22:41
His heart has never been in it TBH, who knows, maybe being around Smith and Sally so long made him forget his own style.
He was certainly highly rated by some.I'll remember him as the man that binned wee Blackie anyway.

01 Mar 2015 19:27:54
Telegraph has just reported that dave king has won control of rangers and david somers will confirm his resignation to the stock exchange tomorrow morning, there will now be no need to have the egm, great news fellow bears, I'm totally over the moon, git in there!

01 Mar 2015 19:42:38
Just opened my first can o lager, party time 😃

01 Mar 2015 20:16:52
Just announced on SSN Somers resignation confirmed tomorrow morning but they EGM will still go ahead

{Ed039's Note - As long as Leech and Llambias are in position the EGM would have to go ahead so the resolutions against them can be heard)

01 Mar 2015 20:57:48
Think rule is that there has to be a meeting even if all that is said is that there will be no vote taken due to the silvery trail left by Somers

01 Mar 2015 19:25:46
Somers to leave rangers will be announced in morning!

01 Mar 2015 19:09:44
Somners to resign tomorrow according to telegraph it's all over they're admitting defeat!

01 Mar 2015 18:36:35
I've seen lots of suggestions for new managers, mine included, but I keep coming back to Ronald De Boer, he is currently working with young players at Ajax, he knows Scottish football, and he did love the club as a player. Perhaps we shouldn't go for an ex player, I don't know, but I could see him at Ibrox with the like of Durie or Davie Weir beside him.
I'm sure being from Netherlands he would encourage the passing game and NOT the long ball tripe.

01 Mar 2015 20:05:50
weebill

I would LOVE to have Ronald De Boer at Ibrox but sadly he is so far out of our range it is dreaming to think of him.

He is potentially building an Ajax team to match the great sides they have had and also is so highly regarded in Europe he is more than likely to be Barcelona or Milan manager rather than returning to a tiny wee outback in northern Europe with no money, below average footballers and freezing cold to boot lolol, where would you rather be bill?

A lovely romantic thought but there is more likelyhood of Neil Lennon than De Boer coming to Rangers

i am george

01 Mar 2015 20:06:53
Wee bill good suggestion mate, and the names you suggest as his assistenents would fit right in, IMO.

01 Mar 2015 20:47:58
I didn't know Ronald was manager of ajax?

01 Mar 2015 22:46:08
Ronald isn't the manager, Frank is. Ronald runs the youth coaching over here. there's no way he would leave here.

02 Mar 2015 04:52:08
Aye I certainly must have been on De Deers I got them wrong wau round sorry Ronald if the assistant manager, still do not see him leaving a club such as Ajax for us

i am george

01 Mar 2015 17:30:40
I've backed Terry first scorer at betfreds, anyone know what price he was guys?

01 Mar 2015 18:48:16
Good on ya tommy jt varied from 16s to 22s for first goal scorer either way nice touch mate

01 Mar 2015 20:48:58
Cheers SB, have one on me,

{Ed039's Note - Cheque for your beer is in the post)

01 Mar 2015 15:34:07
if Dave king wins the EGM can anyone list 15 players that should be signed for next season, maby some real good young players ie ryan jack, I don't think that anyone of the curent out of contract players have a chance in hell of a new one. so can anyone put a list of good players together??

{Ed039's Note - Back to FM 15 mate, you really need to get real)

01 Mar 2015 16:05:33
How about all of the Chelsea players, and 2 from barca?

01 Mar 2015 17:06:23
Where's the money coming from to buy a team & a management team??Where's the money coming from to spend millions on urgent work needed at Ibrox?Is king & co got a forward plan?even a blue print?? Or is it going to be based upon OPM???(other peoples money)??.We have no credit line with any bank, unnamed mysterious share holders MA has got all image rites advertising etc.So there will be no money made from shirt sales etc!His next £5 millionc risis loan will get us to the end of season & that's £13 million owed!.Hearts have shown how by not screwing millions from businesses & getting a CVA accepted when showing they had a forward thinking business plan in place & contributed what was feasable towards debts & a young vibrant squad that are all gelling nicely for there place in the SPL, alas 3 years on & nothings changed, the same $hite on the park & same $hite infighting a money pit & there's no quick fix coming, this will take many a year before we can compete for titles again.

01 Mar 2015 17:40:42
Glad ure feeling upbeat mate,?? Dou really think that serious businessmen like Dave King, George Letham, Douglas Park, etc don't understand business? They deal in multimillion pound deals every day, particularly DK, do you think they're going to fone up for a loan fae the provvy?, they've been working on this for a long time m8, they know what is required, get back to that half empty glass,

01 Mar 2015 18:08:37
its not £13m the first loan was paid back off the second loan attendances should rise wages will fall season ticket money will come in advertising revenue will hopefully rise they will be some money from merchandising ithink u will find the difference in wages will be a big difference hopefully king will run rangers as a buiness not a furnace for £20 notes if attendances go back to 40k plus there will be no bother with revenue streams but the fans must play there part and support the club between maculloch and black alone u will save £21k/week is almost £1.1 million per season there has already players moved out in january transfer window daley is on £6 / week and dean sheils on £7k/week that's another £676k also super ally and macdowall well over another £1m and that's not counting foster moshni stevie smith simonsen zalukas etc and more that's a lot of money to save couple that to season book money next years finances will be in better condition than ever they have been media gurus directors wages and all the waste of money appointments that have been made there will be also the the rest of lewis macleods transfer money to come so its got to be better

01 Mar 2015 20:14:13
Bigwull for once ime in agreement with you lol, though Ashley has most of the assets they can be bought back for 2 million(at this moment in time) then the new owners will need to put money in to see this season out, then the main thing is to get the retail deal amended, easier said than done I know, but things can only get better IMHO.

{Ed039's Note - They can be bought back out for £5m, ie the repayment of the loan from SD)

01 Mar 2015 20:33:21
Ed039. I stand corrected, but main point I have been trying to make on here a few times is the 2nd 5. Million has not been brought down yet eh.

{Ed039's Note - Not yet, if it had then someone would have to answer why no announcement was made to the stock exchange as it would affect share prices, nothing would surprise me but I think that would be illegal. I doubt the second tranche of £5m would be available after this week even if it was wanted, if/when DK is appointed then I believe MA would withdraw the offer of the second loan)

01 Mar 2015 20:49:16
thats it ed 2nd loan has not been drawn down yet but I would be surprised if king and co pay loan back straight away

{Ed039's Note - They have already said that they wont pay it back straight away when Dave King done his press conference)

01 Mar 2015 20:54:09
Ed I read that Ashley would pull the plug on second 5 mililion as he would not want to help the new board, ha ha fat feck, the sooner he is gone the better eh, I hope the Newcastle supporters are watching on.

01 Mar 2015 13:37:12
I'm sure after its all over this week their will be much to be done but the first thing Dave King has to do will only take 5 min of his time . Dave King has to phone and invite Mr Rangers, John Greig back to Ibrox .I'm sure this will carry favour with all Rangers Fans.

01 Mar 2015 14:55:04
With all due respect I think the first thing Dave king has to do is get a new manager in or we'll struggle to make it through the play-offs this season

01 Mar 2015 15:00:00
I 100% agree with you Bongo

A disgrace that the Greatest Ever Ranger isn't there

i am george

01 Mar 2015 19:38:41
Yip bong, I've no doubt DK is very friendly with Greigy, and will do the right thing, the sooner they rid our stadium of the filth that sit there now the better, I don't know how such reptiles can walk in every day, it makes me sick to think of them infesting our home, and yet there are still people who don't want former director to take over, even one who handed the club a fortune, and is our only hope, beyond belief x

01 Mar 2015 20:17:54
Tommy the easiest way to get rid of reptiles mate is to just stand on top of them mate, easy crushed like a bug.lol.

01 Mar 2015 10:07:46
The sunday post newspaper this morning is reporting that if/when dave king wins control of the rangers boardroom he wants to copy the hearts & many english & european teams model to restructure and rebuild rangers, king has been very impressed by the way hearts have gone about their business of rebuilding their club, king seemingly wants to bring in richard gough to oversee all football matters similar to what craig levein is doing at hearts, king is also wanting to appoint billy davies as the new rangers manager/head coach similarly to what robbie neilson is doing at hearts, king wants to concentrate heavily on youth development by putting the proper coaching structure in place at murray park, he is wanting to trim the squad to drive down costs to an affordable turnover for the club, my point all along & I said it 3 years ago and I'll say it now this should have been done at the start when we were in division 3 instead of 3 years down the line haven't to copy hearts philosophy & structure when we should have done it long before them and without need to have copied any other club, we are glasgow rangers and should be leading and welcoming the chase!

01 Mar 2015 10:24:49
jr if that's what king wants where does felix magath come in he has bought shares and surely king paul murray and j gillagan have researched billy davis football record and moral record I feel that the hearts way is best way but not with davis he has not even a track record off wins%to games played and I am sure a lot of bears feel the same

01 Mar 2015 10:47:11
Sounds like a plan although I would worry about the gough and Davies link up as I think Davies seems to want to be in control of everything and can only see friction there and that is not what we need in the new regime, I think Stuart McCall would be a better choice if that is the blueprint going forward

01 Mar 2015 10:49:52
Davies is strict and a solid manager he is no where near what we require at Rangers to rebyuild totally McInnes is the man for the job if jr is remotely correct, and I am taking with a pinch of salt as to date he has mentioned 11 seperate likely candidates, this will be a very bad way to start the new regime at Ibrox

I think jr is wrong and I pray he is, the other aspect about Davies dodgy sexual practices with Tommy The Truth Sheriden is just for newspaper headlines before we even get off the ground

So here's hoping this is just a jr guess

i am george

01 Mar 2015 11:31:06
I'd prefer Felix megath than richard gough! There's a big difference between levein and gough in my opinion, levein hads lots more experience than gough, just because he was a legendary player it doesn't mean he should get the job, I thought we had learned that lesson

01 Mar 2015 11:58:42
How about Felix Megath and Ian Cathro. In my view this would give us a good balance. Gough would be good as an ambassador for our club as he is respected in the game. It is essential that McCoist, McDowall etc have nothing to do with the club and I would, respectfully, add that Walter Smith takes a back seat. Time to gut the club from top to bottom.

01 Mar 2015 12:08:53
I respect everyone's opinion on here and that's what makes this facility superb & worthwhile, my post was only informing my fellow blue noses on here that this story was in this morning's sunday post newspaper, I am george thinks derek mcinnes should be the next rangers manager and although I've always preferred billy davies I still think mcinnes or stuat mccall for that matter would also be terrific choices as our next manager, I wouldn't grumble with any of these managers, I would though agree with one of the other replies that I undoubtedly would prefer felix magath to richard gough for our technical director role, I really do like all the different opinions & banter on here guys, my compliments to the ed on giving us this tremendous facility

01 Mar 2015 12:09:57
We should be aiming higher than ex Rangers players to be the next manager. If they have managerial experience at other clubs with proven success, then yes they should be considered. but persons without experience should not have a look in.

We are Glasgow Rangers. Having played for the club and being untested as a manager should not be an automatic right of passage to be our next manager. Aim for the top!

01 Mar 2015 13:53:37
Aberdeen today beaten soundly doesn't define their season but it does show there is a gap in quality players wise and this if anything for me will 100% shape Kings thinking with regards to immediate MAJOR funding.

There are some very rich men that support Rangers plus the fans already shown how they will rise to the occasion 46000 attendences in Div 4!

I hope now people agree with me we will spend a huge sum rebuilding over next 12 months.

I genuinely believe at least 25million of this will be written off to keep us in a solid financial footing

Today really emphasised what lies ahead for me

hate tims but got to say after an away europe match with 10 men they really showed sheep who the men were today that is the mark of champions though personally I am sure McInnes threw the game as he is looking to leave for Rangers next week lolol

i am george

01 Mar 2015 14:48:30
Derek mcinnes will need to queue up for the rangers manager's job because in case you've forgotten old pal billy davies is FIRST in the queue and it's his to turn down mate lol

01 Mar 2015 15:13:35
jr you have constantly put up names for the Rangers job and a lot of them from "reliable sources"

I have searched on Sunday Post online and it mentions "a manager LIKE Billy Davies" not that Billy Davies is the man being approached, any manager available that has a good record and tactically sound is "like" Billy Davies though thanfully not many will want a ride at your wife while Tommy hold's the video camera!

Davies would be a mistake and will NOT be the next Rangers manager. someone LIKE him will be and that will most likely be McInnes.

I am as always minded to Magath and Cathro but it will be McInnes the Cathro way is too risky at this point in our rebuilding

Can you tell me exactly where it says Billy Davies IS next candidate?

i am george

01 Mar 2015 15:16:18
EDs can you tell me am I losing my marbles was jr tennent on here 3 years ago? I only noticed him pop up a few weeks back

Thanks

i am george

{Ed001's Note - how on earth would we know?}

01 Mar 2015 15:40:30
Eds

Sorry when I came on ages ago the EDs were able to tell people if you had been on a long time and check IP addresses etc I thought some of you have been on here years too?

No big deal just I only started noticing our Manager Scout recently

i am george

01 Mar 2015 15:50:23
i am george I am quite sure king and co will know billy davis has short comings both morally and practically and in my eyes would be as big a mistake as macoist was and your correct I can't see anything in sunday post saying davis will be next manager

01 Mar 2015 16:17:25
I am George see the statement about Davies with Tommy sheridan brill, killing myself laughing, yer good, straight tae the point .me personally I, d go for Derek mcinness

01 Mar 2015 17:38:19
Dougdunlop. Ime not sure d mcinnes would know how to work the camera, lol.

01 Mar 2015 18:30:41
I am george my old pal, I can assure you mate that if you get a grip of this mornings sunday post newspaper you will read for yourself that it says that a rangers insider says that king is looking to bring in billy davies and knows the availability of davies to take the job, I'm honestly not lying, as I posted previously I wouldn't mind a derek mcinnes or stuart mccall as our next manager one little bit because I do rate both, In my opinion davies has by far the better cv, common guys its all about opinions!

28 Feb 2015 21:10:06
If King George s his way and gets control of the boardroom, he must change the manager.

Obviously a new manager would prefer to be there at the start of a new season, so it's 100% their season. But I think they ist change things. McDowell doesn't want to be there, and he is vocal about it. Which is mental. It must be affecting the players.
