@4 I think the jury is definately out on cg. Way too early to suggest he is best thing ever. Too many unanswered questions. Not saying I dislike him but won't be hailing him as our great saviour just yet.

Believable39 Unbelievable3

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

Wales have denied being offered murray park, and state if they had, they would have refused! why does charles green state so many lies, that are so easy to refute? ag

Agree27 Disagree7

@2 haha, well compare that amount to the amount of money your club stole from creditors and the British tax payer and yeah you are right it is pittance!
Maybe a good start would be your club pay money to all the clubs! How does that sound? Yeah didn't think so!

Agree23 Disagree6

Poster 3 same story as juventus weren't offered auchenhowie either and look what happened, doug t. s. o

Agree13 Disagree10

Where did wales refute the offer?

Agree3 Disagree3

@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.

Agree14 Disagree6

Maybe wrong here but I
don't think there was ever
a quote from green just
papers reporting rumours
plz correct me if I'm wrong E. D

Agree7 Disagree7

Sun reporting wales rejected our offer. didn't the daily rags also claim juventus rejected the offer. Remind me where did they train?

Agree3 Disagree9

@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.

@10: just like all the Rangers fans who believe all the ills are down to Lawwell? That kind of paranoia?

@1# "so called rangers fan"? How would you know the poster is not a Rangers fan? Because he disagrees with your opinion? What a pathetic blinkered view.

Agree8 Disagree7

No 13 look at the replys and you will see not many people agree with his pathetic blinkered ( as you put it ) post, obviously your not a businessman either doug t. s. o

Agree9 Disagree2

@14# What would being a businessman have to do with my post (13)? The post concerned the fact you dismissed the post and assumed it was a fan of another club. Why? For not being a yes man? For the record it does not matter a jot to me, income is income. Oh and Bon Jovi! really, poodle rock? dear lord.

Ian hart has been offered the chairmanship of rangers. Mr hart, a well respected business figure, life long fan of the club, will please other directors etc. Does this remind any one of when Mr Murray was appointed? It could be the same statement! Come on Charles time for transparency.

Believable18 Unbelievable8

If this is indeed fact then its a belter. Mr Hart was part of the Blue Knights. Still would like a bit more honesty and transparancy though from the board. Unlike timmy O don't lose any sleep as to what the Rangers board do at the moment.

Agree11 Disagree6

The only sleep we'll be losing will be caused by laughing too much. try and understand :
celtic - fine.
the rangers - not fine.

Agree14 Disagree8

OP - I see you are adopting the Rangers pose

Head in the sand - bum in the air - waiting for someone to surprise you.

The stream of quotes stating that losing your chairman - just after a flotation - is not important.

Delusion

Agree13 Disagree4

After st mirren juve and st johnstone I can't stop laughing scottish champions more like chimps

No 4 heard they are serving pg tips in the bar at parkhead players lounge instead of alcohol lol doug t. s. o

Big game on 7th of april qots v thistle to see whos the best club in the sfl am sure youll get a laugh over that too

your club is imploding and still can only comment on the Celtic. lol. obsessed you bet you are

Agree27 Disagree18

@2 posted by Timalloy a well known Celtic supporter, whose imploding?

Agree15 Disagree9

Maybe lennon added it to his dvd he's sending to uefa demanding clarification in the situation.

Agree11 Disagree13

The op simply asked if lennon would query such a poor decision? As for obsession. The celtic page is primarily stories about rangers. Now that's obsession.

Agree13 Disagree15

@ 1) why are you here? can't you see the irony of your post? your on a rangers forum complaining that bears are commenting on celtic? give yourself a good shake, or get yourself back to where people actually think your rhetoric makes any sense

Agree23 Disagree12

@5 I am on here because u keep your friends clause but u keep your old enemies closer

Agree8 Disagree11

@5 you know why he's here - he's obsessed with everything rangers.

The sad thing was this was a story about a goal celtic conceeded - posted by a celtic fan. Then claims we are obsessed?!

Agree12 Disagree4

You mistake laughter and general hilarity for obsession. I can't believe how, when you think the belly laughs are settling down to general hilarity, another wave of humour sets it all off again. meanwhile the gap grows.
all this is costing money you know.

OP "Timalloy" as they say imitation is the best form of flattery, but must do better next time"
ED001/ED039 what is point of us putting tags if imposters post under your tag? (I also use unique code as eds requested)
No harm done this time, but in past this has caused problems. Timalloy (the REAL ONE) {Ed001's Note - I will get the account deleted and make sure it is assigned so that you can sign in using your tag as the log in password. Just leave out the space and it should be done some time today mate, if not email us using the contact form and including your identifier so we know it is you and I will get it sorted straight away.}

just a thought bears, I think the sfa and the fa should scrap the league cups and make a britishcup (excluding ni and wales). what do you all think?

Believable2 Unbelievable27

If you exclude Northern Ireland and Wales it won't be a British cup will it?

Blueice

Agree24 Disagree4

So how is it a British cup without half of Britain in it?
edg

Agree20 Disagree6

Bet Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City would love the chance to pit their skills against the likes of Livingston or East Stirling or Albion Rovers.

Seriously how many people in England would want this? Total non goer.

Agree18 Disagree2

Given that Northern Ireland isn't in Britain but rather in the UK it would make sense not to have them in any British cup

Agree10 Disagree11

Are you sure you don't want to go the full hog and say no other teams in scotland either except rangers

Agree11 Disagree1

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! As for the original post, nice idea but can't see many premiership teams being interested. However, would be good to have a cup with the top leagues from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland!

Agree1 Disagree7

@6. The people of Northern Ireland are also able to represent Ireland in the Olympics.

Bet man u would beat arbroath though

What has Malcolm Murray done?

Believable26 Unbelievable5

It would appear he has some doubts about Mr Greens plans. Remember John Browns warnings? Long overdue Mr Green delivered some of his many promises.

Agree15 Disagree4

Probably opposed Green because he's worried about Charles' bluster and mental statements, nnot to mention the direction the club is heading, so Green wants him out as he's a dissenting voice.

Typical dictator-esque (Nero-esque?) behaviour.

1903

Agree15 Disagree3

@ 1 source? no just your opinion.
@ 2 enlighten us all on the direction of our club since you seem to be in the know-hows our finances and investments getting on and what stage are we at with capital spend contracts?

Agree4 Disagree11

Charles is the best thing that's happened to us

Agree7 Disagree22

Got to say there are some people jumping the gun a little here. Lots of personal opinion rather than fact. Seems a lot of people actually want rangers to be in financial trouble. Got to ask why? Let them get on with it absoloutly nothing to do with celtic.

Agree4 Disagree6

To support post 4 he was the ONLY one prepared to back us and without him there would be no us. A response from the disagrees to post 4 please.
billyb

Agree4 Disagree10

Green is the only thing that's happened to your club

Agree7 Disagree0

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.
Bobby

Agree12 Disagree2

@6 about4. Not the best but only option available. He thought he would make a quick buck but did'nt count on 3rd div football. Now he's all pish and wind and you need us, don't think so Chuckie!

Agree9 Disagree0

@4&6 he was the ONLY one prepared to back us
Blue Knights, Bill Ng, Bill Miller (The yank hounded out), The guy kennedy and don't forget the cardigans late bid and John Brown.

Is that a good enough reply on behalf of the Disagrees.

Ian

Agree4 Disagree2

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.
billyb.

Agree0 Disagree6

@11, He was the only one D&P would allow to buy the club. Don't forget, he was around long before he became publicly interested and D&P saw fit to exclude a number of interested parties to hand the baton to Green.
Al

Agree6 Disagree0

@3: where is the reference to finances in #2?

Agree1 Disagree1

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.
billyb.

20 Feb 2013 11:41:55
do u not think its bout time green started delivering on the promises that he has made to us instead of jetting out on holiday every couple of weeks settle down and get things moving at the club as for the stadium deal it says in paper it could be a five year deal I hope it ain't considering the money on offer from sports direct am sure when we are in the top flight we could raise more money than they are offering so doesn't make sence to sign 5 year deal

Believable20 Unbelievable5

Green made promises renaming Ibrox would be short term year on year deals.

20 Feb 2013 10:00:40
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.}

Believable8 Unbelievable25

Fan bull. lol Cenkos hold meeting in london of the two protagonists. FACT?

how is this fan bull?

Stories in press, celtic fans don't have that access route, we know whyte did, and so could green/jabba?

Agree26 Disagree4

Sherrif Officers at Ibrox - just the papers printing Celtic fans fantasies

Whyte banned from being a director -just the papers printing Celtic fans fantasies

Ticketus deal - just the papers printing Celtic fans fantasies

NI/VAT/PAYE nonpayment - just the papers printing Celtic fans fantasies

Orlit treatening a winding up order, bill not paid - just the papers printing Celtic fans fantasies

I'm beginning to think that the entire history of Rangers oldco and newco is something that the papers have made up to please Celtic fans.

Agree39 Disagree8

20 Feb 2013 11:50:03
I want to know what this 'personal conduct' is all about. Two fans complained about him. What for? I am getting more and more irate reading this. I want green out

Agree29 Disagree3

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 Disagree5

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 Disagree4

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?

Agree11 Disagree2

@8 not another person to the deeds of ibrox.

I'm lost the deeds to ibrox have been owned by everyone but my granny in last 2 years, Murray, Lloyds, whyte, tickeus. Now green the list goes on, by the way who owns the Albion car park? Ha.

Agree3 Disagree1

@2 Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

Agree3 Disagree7

@4 Ed's note if that's the case why bring Celtic supporter's into the debate, it look's like you are starting to panic ed
Tam {Ed001's Note - why would I panic? It makes no odds to me, I am a Liverpool fan. I was asked my opinion and I gave it. 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. That is why I don't even bother with twatter any more, it is full of liars and abusive knobs trying to get noticed with the most bull they can post. Same with a lot of blogs written by well known multi named liars.}

Agree1 Disagree4

20 Feb 2013 09:42:06
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

Believable46 Unbelievable13

You know why a lot of youngsters are attending matches because they are free so it boosts attendances another on green keeps quiet about

Agree20 Disagree12

I am the original poster and I cannot understand how people can disagree with this. Do they want the sectarian stuff to continue to be linked to our club? If they do I do not think they are the kind of supporter we need, they should travel across the water and support Linfield or maybe not come across the water and stay at home and support Linfield, whatever the answer is they should not be welcomed at Ibrox.

Agree32 Disagree15

@2 great post mate! Shame it will never happen! But we can all dream can't we!
Too many angry people out there tarnishing the beautiful game with their bile and own personal bitter agendas!

Agree19 Disagree9

@1 Do your homework dear boy. Both Rangers and Selic do give away FREE tickets to the local schools this is a well known fact. And they both declare them. Go to the bottom of the class for not paying attention.

Agree1 Disagree12

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. Celtic fan here, let's kick this bigotry rubbish out of touch. I was born in England as my father could not take Glasgow anymore. Yes to Football, Yes to Celtic and Rangers. Kick the bigotry to F.

Agree16 Disagree2

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.

Agree9 Disagree4

20 Feb 2013 18:51:44
To poster No 2. Since when have kids been getting in for free? Wish someone had told me about that one before buying my 8 yo boy his season ticket and paying for tickets to non season ticket games.

N2 what makes you asume it was rangers supporters that clicked the disagree button cheers

@10. that's fine, glad you got the message. don't want that tag anymore. celtic have got 3 teams that would stuff them both and the money to buy 3 more.

Linfield are not a sectarian club. I seem to remember that linfield had catholics playing for them long before a certain maurice johnston had some rangers fans burning union flags outside belfast.
Please get your facts right before spouting off about linfield.
