Like the so called gers fan on the rumours page said he was unhappy with charles renting out auchenhowie to wales, as far as i'm concerned he is looking at every avenue of raising cash for the club which is more than whyte ever done, I went to see bon jovi at ibrox corporate hospitality what a great night, there should be more of these concerts at ibrox as its got a better atmostphere than hampden where I went to see ac/dc doug t. s. o

Just heard about a story in the Daily record so probably not much truth in it. Apparently the top eight clubs in the SPHELL are to provide 1.4 million to the lesser clubs as part of the reconstruction plans for Scottish Football. It may just be my suspicious mind but is this not the same figure the Record reported the SPl would lose through the absence of Rangers from the league per year? Of course these fine upstanding so called guardians of our game who sprout integrity as there moral backbone would not be trying to dupe the public into believing they are doing this as part of some great reconstruction innovation, rather than admitting they are panicked by the loss of Rangers income and before there are not enough teams left for a top league to continue, are scrambling for ways to plug this gap. No surely not these stalwarts at the SFA and SPl would never do that, there integrity is beyond reproach. LOL

@2. difficult to know where to start with this. your paranoia now extends to stories in the daily record you haven't even read? so the sphell clubs (as you childishly put it, though when rangers were in it it was the source of the success of the worlds most successful club) lose 1.4m or about 110,000 or 2k per week each due to no more rangers. they then compound this enormous loss by giving away the same amount to dupe the public so that they don't notice so many of them have gone bust they have no league? if you can understand that only 1 club has gone bankrupt you may save yourself from this dark fantasy.

@2 To any young supporters on this forum, let this persons response be a lesson on what happens to rational thought when someone is obviously drinking alcohol on an empty head!
If you had done any research you would know that my club is still paying money to the other clubs and the SPHell by way of there TV deal allocation even although we are not in this league, if this did not happen there would be a great deal more in financial trouble than Inverness, hearts, Kilmarnock etc. All they are doing is giving these clubs the rangers share. Think before you ink.
@4 Couple of things first that were not clear in your response, When you made the reference to the worlds most successful club, I take it you were referring to Rangers FC? Do not see your point in the post. Just to assist your education a little, "Paranoia" is a mental illness when someone incorrectly believes someone or something it out to harm them in some way, for example, imagining that all referees and officials no matter which country in the world they come from have been bribed or deliberately act against you (Victim Consciousness). I of my own personal choice do not believe everything I read in a newspaper, unlike you obviously. This is a rationale shared by most sane people in the world today. As the first sign of paranoia is accusing others of imagined deeds I suggest you may need to contact your G. P just for a quick check up.

The people of Northern Ireland are British so would of course be entitled to take part in a British cup! Northern Ireland is one of the home nations, given that Athletes from Northern Ireland can compete for team GB at the olympics your statement is nonsense!

Billy be - Charles Green has used Paul Murray the same way he has a lot of Rangers fans to his own end. He brought him in to win over the Gers support, hasn't carried out many of his promises there in no transparency from the board, I would be very wary of jumping on his and Traynors bandwagon. As a Rangers supporter I cannot understand how he got the club so cheaply and easily from D & P he said he had been in negotiations for months before there was no transparency there or after he got the
assets of our club, that's his style. I certainly don't trust him or his outbursts. Hope I'm wrong but beware knowing his past record.

To 8/9/10. I don't think we are in disagreement as I trust Green as much as Murray and Whyte.
My point being: as he was prepared to accept the duff and phelps conditions of sale he was able to move us forward.
He was the only one, thus, the best for us.
As for d&p's methods, that is another argument or should I say, discussion.

To 12] Al, what I am saying is, for whatever reason Green's was the only acceptable offer to the administrator and as such we have moved forward. If others were blocked in the opportunity to buy our club, then they should state how and why. None of them have done that. Yes, it is obvious that something underhand went on, but the ' wronged ' must state their case.

ED001 as regards this boardroom fallout. From what I have read Mr Murray came with a big reputation and was highly respected in the business sections hence his appointment to help with the share issue.
Now after disagreeing with Green we are hearing stories of his "personal life" "embarrassing the club" and "fans complaining about his behaviour"
This seems like an orchestrated attempt to descredit the man. Mr Murray seldom speaks in public unlike Green who cannot keep quiet, so how has he "embarrassed" the club? Timalloy {Ed001's Note - it actually sounds more like typical opposition fan bull to me. Either that or an orchestrated campaign against the man, which seems unlikely. Green is more of a loudmouth who would shout from the rooftops if he didn't like someone. That is why I think the 'leaks' are probably just nothing more than hopeful talk from Celtic fans after two people disagreed on an issue within the boardroom. That happens every day in business, doesn't usually amount to any more than a compromise.}

Agree29

ED 001; With respect, do you really think this is not being orchestrated by Mr Green? The link is very creditable, Jackson-Traynor-Green in Traynors old newspaper. I agree with your point about Mr Green and his "shouting from the rooftops" tactics, but in this case he has to be seen to be the victim. As for celtic fans "hopeful talk", where is the denial from Traynor? A few weeks ago he was telling all and sundry that he was watching and any inaccurate stories would be tackled head on. You might think he would be involved by now. {Ed001's Note - I am saying that it is more likely to be nothing more than a blown out of all proportion dispute. Directors fall out every day, no one ever agrees with someone else all of the time. I just think this is likely to turn out to be as nothing.}
Agree5
Disagree8
Says in the Daily Mail - It is understood that Ibrox directors have received complaints from supporters about Murray’s personal conduct.
Now if this is just a rumour I'd have though Jabba Traynor would have responded straight away pointing out it was another example of what he was complaining about last week i. e an anti Rangers media.
But we haven't as yet heard a peep from him. {Ed001's Note - the Mail is known for its accuracy, in fact it is so accurate I wouldn't even believe the date on its pages. It is known as the Fail for good reason, it is full of lies and made up nonsense.}
Agree8

Its just the daily celtic record causing trouble
Agree9
Disagree18
You will never discover what he is alleged to have done or who complained about him because it is a story that has been created by messers Traynor and Green to discredit Mr Murray because it suits their agenda. How many complaints have there been this season from fans about McCoist and and he is still there.
Agree19

Expect green will walk away with ibrox deeds in his pockets, and this is his pension.
Murray left running rangers "at a loss" and paying for hire of ibrox (£5 mill) each year.
better than dead. And Green and is backers get paid each and every year for ever.
Celtic have £9m loan in perpetuity, why can gers have one to. to our saviour?

I see it all the time with rival fans posting false stories to stir up their main rivals. I have had to block hundreds of Everton and Man Utd fans for doing it on the Liverpool site. Many Liverpool fans I have had to block for similar reasons on the Everton and Man Utd sites. It is a sad world we live in, but that is the way it is.

Green has gone all the way to Australia to meet a handfull of supporters why? Is he meeting the correct people to move the club forward? not by looking at the questions he was asked. What school did you go to? when are we playing Linfield? have you thought of changing your name? One of the refreshing things about going to Ibrox this season has been the number of youngsters attending games, we need to leave this sectarian stuff behind. We have the chance to rid ourself of this rubbish and leave it to the other mob. We will never be accepted at the top table of world football until the sectarian nonense is finished, there is no place for it in a modern society and I don't want the youngsters that are coming to games just now growing up thinking that it goes hand in hand with our club

Hello OP. I am not sure what Green is up to, but flying all over the globe to speak to handfulls of supporters seems strange. I don't think he is to be trusted.

Where does this nonsense about free tickets come from. The price for child ticket is £5 due to my work I can't garauntee what games I can go to so I buy tickets on an individual basis and take my 14 yr old son and on occasion his mates I have been to 10 different home games this season and for every one I have paid full face value happily for all my tickets both adult and child and, yes they aren't priced for the SPL, as we are in 3rd division which I wanted and am loving as is my son. Mr Green can't win can you imagine if he was charging us SPL prices in the SFL he would be accused of ripping us off, these guys claiming in some way SFL ticket prices are only what are bringing in the fans the rest of SFL 3rd division teams must be scratching their heads why they don't get thousands in their ground for similar prices Funnily enough I seldom took my son to SPL games due to the disgusting atmosphere created by the visiting fans inside and outside the stadium and unfortunately also by the unsavory sectarian elements it attracted within our own support. The most refreshing thing I have found this year has been the increase in a younger less sectarian fan base. I can honestly say in all the games I have been this year I have heard only 2 sectarian outbursts with both individuals complaining about noone joining in with their crass choice of songs. In saying that I have seen the Blue Order starting to sneak some of the more unsavory songs again which I wish they would leave buried I go to a football match not a religious rally and don't want to lose the big progress we are making in attracting a younger more mixed fan base.
