Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


28 Jan 2015 18:18:58
when I read replies to my own posts, and read all the other posts, it never ceases to amaze me just how many legal experts support Rangers.
Cynical? you bet I am
GET REAL, SUPPORT YOUR TEAM OR FACE THE ULTIMATE CONSEQUENCES.
I see Real Madrid are even happy to sell naming rights to make money. NAH, Ibrox is too sacred a place to do such a stupid thing.
Cynical? you bet I am.
Fan ownership? good idea (if you know what business is all about )
Cynical? you know my answer

EH hmmm? I bet you are?

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee willy

We feel the same reading your limited vision opinions it is about opinions afterall thankfully majority rule as with the EGM prevails

The majority on here despise ashley and the board, the majority support King and 3 Bears and the majority want a boycott to force the board to act for our club not to shut down Rangers.

WHEN and I mean when this board runs out of money, for arguments sake ignoring the EGM for a minute, it will only be the likes of King, the 3 Bears and the Fans that will ever save Rangers ashley does not give a sh*t if we go bust as long as he has assets to cover his money and some

Please realise wee willy you are in a minority and that's why your back is up no other reason

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

This reinforces my previous comments to you, I'm sure you go out of your way to burst my tits! Your comments are appalling as always and I'm so sad to say I support the same team as you, thankfully I'm sure most people would agree only one of us are actually supporting Rangers and have a genuine interest in the clubs future, the other is fueling the fire.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm all for selling the naming rights but not for £1!

Agree0 Disagree0

George and cronies - must go to specsavers and get my limited vision sorted. maybe I should ask for rose tinted lenses??

Agree0 Disagree0

When you ask for rose tinted lenses, make sure to ask for a Bull Sh$tometer as well, your current senses don't seem to recognise it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee bill ime sure Ashley would buy you a new pair, as long as they were not to read the accounts.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tiny willy

I do not have cronies mister I just share the opinion of the majority of sensible Bears on here and in the Rangers family

We all love Rangers and despise the board, the fact ashley is controlling the board and at same time using that contriol to shaft us kit wise and screw us for all but one asset is enough for the majority to look at the facts in front of them and decide.

No rose tinted glasses just cold hard facts mate

board OUT ashley BOYCOTT

i am blind but now I see

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee bill are we to take it you are a legal expert, you must be to suggest we don't know the score,

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2015 03:17:36
I think you have lost it completely bill, we are being stolen, do you realise that? naming rights? that's great if you have a board who will fight for the highest and most suitable bidder and it will benefit the club for years. ashtray is ripping us, get a grip man

Wit planet ru on weebill

Agree0 Disagree0

Georges unwilling to engage in civilized argument again, and resort to name calling. I would ask for one of the Eds to intervene, but the reality for rangers after the EGM will be all is needed to clam the Georges I suspect. We won't see them for dust when it all goes south.

Agree0 Disagree0

I can see were bill is coming from, the cold hard facts are the big robbery has already happened.
Can anyone honestly believe that the 3 bears & king can work together, who is going to call the shots, make decisions etc?
Just remember Fergus McCann wasn't liked at parkhead, and is only now appreciated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee bill, Good on you for standing your ground. I don't agree with some of your points but I respect your entitlement to an opinion. DisExpat, you are spot on, but as they say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Agree0 Disagree0

King and the 3 Bears already teamed up to do the original 16million offer of help

They are grown men and experienced business men and have 2 common goals the love Rangers and the want the board gone

What is so difficult to be able to work together?

Silly poster

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

This playground name calling really is becoming pathetic. Is everyone on here a bunch of weans? It was bad enough having to read through all the Liewell and Ashtray comments, but now it extended to other posters. If you want to resort to name calling can you not be a little smarter with it rather than come up with something a five year old would?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ex Paddy

I did say last week I am happy to run naked round Ibrox with a 2lb frozen chicken tied to my dauber if I am wrong about EGM

What are you prepared to bet you seem that convinced we are going to lose.

Can we possibly have some positive posts about our saviours King and the 3 Bears afer the EGM win or will you still quiet all of a sudden then

I post my opinions and my beliefs on the club I love and I got off my arse to come up and start protesting in person 18months ago so when you want to start slagging Bears that actually care try to pick one that cares less about Rangers

I might occasionally wind people up and be opinionated but it is all for the love of our club Rangers

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

Memaself and billyb thank you for some support. I AM 70 yo and have supported the club since I was 6. MY big fear is that some fans don't seem to see where boycotts are taking us. The big damage has already been done, but we need regular income, and not just loans. I don't claim to be an expert, and I don't trust any of those in office, but survival is VITAL so we have to get back in through the turnstiles and generate our own financial support, until we are stabilised.

Agree0 Disagree0

This backs up what I've been saying for ages. George has lost his way, resorting to childish insults because someone has a different opinion to his. your boycott may be shared by the majority on this site but not the majority of Rangers fans. I can't imagine what it will be like when he camps out outside Ibrox with his pals. Time to grow up mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee bill

Respect going out to you as one of my elders and sorry if I was rude to you

I see where all the non boycotters are coming from but the way I see it is like the miner's strike in Thatcher's years that Scab Haulier, Yuills was it, they obviously had the attitude that an all out boycott/strike was not for them. For me that was what broke the miners back and as such let Thatcher win

In Rangers situation whilst I see that the money being cut off by the seasons boycott is strangling the club financially and playing into this board's hands, I cannot ever personally see anything this board has done intelligently with money for the benefit of our club Rangers. They are an absolute disgrace in their woeful attempts at managing our club and in particular treating the fans with zero respect.

On the basis that starving them out is the only thing the fans can do I see no other option than a total boycott and sorry bill much as it would horrify me I would rather a 2nd Admin and this board ousted than to let a bunch of crimi*als and ashley rob and destroy Rangers FC.

Everything in life is usually decided by democracy and the fans are voting with their feet and wallets, that is a vote by the majority and I feel that fans have to accept the huge majority of Rangers fans are wanting this board out, do not trust them to run the clyub properly to Rangers benefit with their season ticket money and most of all they see ashley for what he is an asset stripping self concerned businessman that would see Rangers bust if it suited him.

So I can only follow my head and heart with the vast majority and want a TOTAL boycott until they are all gone from Rangers FC

Thankfuly with King and the 3 Bears uniting at EGM and the seemingly guaranteed 51% + vote achieved we will only need to boycott for 4 more weeks and I think that it is right for all those Bears to not trust these cr**ks with any more of our money

I hope you can see that is a reasonable argument wee bill?

RTID board OUT ashley BOYCOTT

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee Bill, don't take any notice of a certain person, as he does not have a clue about anything, in the past week or 2 he has came back at fellow posters with insulting arrogant replies, and of course they were very very wrong.
Don't take the bate mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jyf

It is a banter site and wind ups and teasing are meant to be part of banter

Jeez I don't fancy a night down the pub with you no jokes and no taking the piss in case anyone's feelings get hurt

I am not losing any direction I have always just wanted the criminals out and ashley green and whyte no where near our club ever again.

i am hurt

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - Right children, behave now :-)

Wee bill, Your first game would be about 1951, well I'm only a young thing as my first game was 1955. Like yourself I do not agree with orchestrated boycotts and the one thing I am in total agreement with, is the fact that I would not trust any of those holding the purse strings. As far as some of the insults are concerned, I have tried, in the past, to argue my point, but now I can't be assed. The know-alls will soon see that any future our team has may be short lived.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed39 he started it!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - lol)

Wee bill the people trying to run our club should never have got involved if they never had the financies to do so, they are not interested in anything re rangers, they want money from us,

Agree0 Disagree0

Jyf

lolol

Ahm gonnae tell ma big brother oan yous

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

To all you guys, Eds too, I love the banter, as rightly it is all about opinions. No offence taken or indeed given, I just hope for survival and want us back eating at the top table, as I am sure you all do. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL FOR SUNDAY :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb

I used to get wound up a couple of years ago and now I just try to ge the point over but at least have a laugh too it is a banter site after all, before admin it used to be very funny on here more between dhims and us especially after humping them!

It has turned into a nightmare due to as the EDs point out people's emotions are running on edge all time the constant set backs every time we see a false dawn.

If you look through my posts I do try to be honest and passionate but a few wind ups thrown in to lighten it up a wee bit

I do not agree with the nad blind ashlet persons on here but they have the right to their opinion

EGM will chenge everything I hope get back to football and players not boardroom and share dealing plus crooks and dodgy businessmen

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

Disinterested expat, I don't know if you were referring to me in your post, but I will be going nowhere whatever the out come of the e. g. m. On that I offer garentee, I will even give you odds of 100 to one, that I will be posting on here until my last breath, c'mon odds that can't be refused.

Agree0 Disagree0

Point taken, I am george, but sometimes you just push the boundaries too far. Wind ups are great, but there are several on here that take any criticism of their opinion as a personal attack. I have made my stance clear in the past as have you and many others.
I was pro King at the outset, when the extent of the robbery was exposed, but I would appreciate if you could tell me why he left it so long in making any moves? I have my opinion and any comments you had would be interesting.

Agree0 Disagree0

@29 how does he collect his winnings?

Agree0 Disagree0

Jyf the ed has our post code at his disposal,

Agree0 Disagree0

But you will have taken your last breath

Agree0 Disagree0

Jyfnhe will have lost the bet if ime on here till my last breath, keep up mate, the ed can donate his losing bet to rangers fc, if these feckers are all gone lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Jyf he can donate it to a good cause.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 18:01:28
this is what if should ashley or the board win at the e g m what do we do then do we have a total boycott that would mean the end of the club totally or do we have some sort of uneasy truce to see what investment whether loans or whatever or will there be some talks between 3 bears and ashley because if the result of the egm goes the wrong way these are the choices that have to be addressed I may add that with the amount of shares changing hands I am a bit worried to who the purchasers are

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 Jan 2015 18:36:39
BIGWULL I've noticed you keep your eye on this stuff,what kind of numbers are we talking changing hands percentage wise?Do they publish details of buyers/ sellers?

Agree0 Disagree0

They were about 51000 shares traded today gkk but what worries me is most are small amounts 100 400 20 1000 these amounts obviously belonged to bears if some of ashleys cohorts are buying it will have the effect of detracting from support the 3bears maybe expected

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 19:34:17
Could be the other way though,bears could be consolidating their shares by selling to 3B King in the knowledge they are getting used to shift this mob and making an earner at same time.The price is up,they're all winners.But,what do I know?You're the man.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull I don't know who bought or sold but I would take a bet nobody is selling to Ashley,

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk ime with you on this, maybe the clue is the word traded, no mention of being sold, traded.

Agree0 Disagree0

BIGWULL

don't panic 51000 shares is about three quid and nineteen pence mate

When you start hearing a million or so spent on shares you can worry

I gave ma paper boy 33000 shares as his Xmas tip

Dinnae panic

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

George it may not be a lot of money but they all count when it comes to agm

Agree0 Disagree0

I was kiding

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull if the people selling are rangers supporters they won't be selling to Ashley, if they did they would not be rangers supporters IMHO.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 17:53:30
After Sunday I am intending coming up for as long as I can and liasing with people to start some form of 24/7 camped out protest if we can get people to do this in shifts at the ground in a place where we won't just be moved on.

Any Bears up for meet at Ibrox? I came up ages ago 10 lads were there hope we can do a lot better than that.

I honestly feel we have to show a united front to this board of crooks leading up to the EGM

RTID board OUT ashley TOTAL BOYCOTT

I am George I'm not healthy enough, but if I was IDE pitch a lot of tents as near to easdales as the law allows, ie grass verge next to his house, nothing anybody could do about it,

Agree0 Disagree0

George, I disagree with these methods but respect your dedication. I honestly think that by destroying the current board, in this manner, we make things more difficult for the new board after the egm.
My main concern is the damage that is being done by the board's actions and the half empty stadium cannot be repaired.

Agree0 Disagree0

The support on here is astounding I am moved to tears. see you all there wi my tent, a flask and the Tommy Boyd Autobiography I am no much of a reader but I should get through all 12 pages okay while I am on protest break.

See me there 1 for all and 1 for all

lolol

IAG I will pop round with my burger van three times a day and feed you all for free.

29 Jan 2015 11:13:26
george you off your head mate its freezing outside I would imagine this reason why not getting much support for this need warmer weather then try this one again

Agree0 Disagree0

Readybrek and my Grandad's long johns!

Been doing a lot of checking and it is not at all easy to camp out and protest unlike the Iraq guy did in London for years. Plus a pitch invasion and sit in is also subject to immediate Police removal.

We need to put heads together and work on a plan that can work protest wise.

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

I am George I am doing the easiest and most affective protesting by staying away from the stadium, as much as it hurts me, my brother said he would buy my season book I refused, was quite surprised by his offer as he knows it's got nothing to do with money, it's the principal with me. once these feckers are removed I will take him up on his offer lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

I am George that book you speak of will consist of pictures only, the author doesn't do writing, lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb if we don't destroy the current board we will never get rid of them.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:31:49
And so it comes out the reason Ibrox wasn't given as security was the R. S. T took out an interdict to prevent it, (source stv news) unfortunately it only lasts to the 17th Feb is this the reason the 2nd tranche of 5mil will be released at a later date.
r. f

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm not disputing what you say, but surely only the legal owner of Ibrox could actually get a court to stop them from using it as security for a loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Firstly r. f, why can't they apply for an extension to the interdict? Not sure how that works but I think in English law (called an injunction) these can be extended or continued to a later date. Secondly, I see that other shower of people the SFA have arranged hearing dates for March - one to hear Rangers case and the other two weeks later to hear Ashley's case. Problem is, will the EGM take place before all of this?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 20:05:01
@ doiger don't know if they could ask for extension I was just going with the fact they said they had hoped for longer than the 17th Feb so the egm could have took place which leads to your other question about egm, with the RST saying that I would imagine the egm must be due about end of Feb.
r. f

Agree0 Disagree0

Rf the three bears said in there statement the only reason there loan was refused was because they are voting against board members at the e. g. m. , this sounds logical to me, who would vote to give some one else there job?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2015 08:28:33
@4 never mentioned voting or 3 bears mate was just pointing out the RST said on a news page they had took an interdict out to try and prevent Ibrox being given as security. and was this the reason the other 5mil could be drawn down at a later date when loan terms could be amended.
r. f

Agree0 Disagree0

Rf I've just looked at my post, the only thing I can suggest is that my post was in regard a different post, and probably came up against your post by mistake.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:28:54
i have never approved about boycotts but there should be a total boycott of next home game unless they lift ban on nacho novo training at murray park for joining rangers first these clowns in the ivory tower are basically punishing someone for joining a recognised rangers supporters they have banned one person we should take the stance ban one ban all the ibrox customer service department must be located in puttins office in the kremlin who do these imbeciles think they are in the present troubled times they do the clubs reputation absolutely no good whatsoever cretins or numb skulls

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Bigwull so you are dead against us boycotting for our own reasons, but you call for a boycott because novo can't train at the training ground???

5 4 1 on Sunday but who's upfront thoughts?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If one up front, its got to be miller to chase them down, then eventually replaced by clark for me!!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:05:03
better question is who is the 3rd CB?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:06:03
Yip millers the only option, and this hafwit board may sell /allow Clark to go before Sunday!
Nothing would surprise? On another note, at long last an mp has asked questions, as the football powers sit back and watch the biggest scandal ever to hit Scottish/ British football? Forgive me but I just can't get over how they have done nothing! I'm not saying you save us, I'm saying they should have done more

Agree0 Disagree0

Tommy who's "They"

Agree0 Disagree0

Gk? Foster jig McGregor Smith Templeton Hutton black Wallace law Miller

Agree0 Disagree0

@5

Think that will be more or less the team for Sunday. Hate to see Simonsen in goal but he will be there, again hate to see Foster play but again he is a cert. I would play Smith at left back and Wallace wide left. Would also play Templeton before Aird as at least he has played against them and is less likely to hide. Unfortunately no matter what team plays I fear a hiding

Agree0 Disagree0

Ceexxx, I don't think you will be too far away with your selection of the team for Sunday. I also think it will be 4-1-4-1, with Clark, Templeton and Aird ready to come on.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 jan 2015 03:27:44
jack, erm the powers that be in scottish football is who i'm refering to? didn't i make that clear, /

Agree0 Disagree0

I think 999 is only numbers we going need come Sunday

i am shi**ing it

Agree0 Disagree0

Ceexxx I think your selection will be near enough, but hey you never know, I also think it should be a five playing midfield, trying to stop them playing, maybe a wee baw er the tap, catch them out, lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 14:01:05
i wrote in yesterday to suggest ashley might not be all bad and that maybe he is the man to rescue us, the response was I was deluded and drunk, well i'm beginning to think the fans on here are deluded, where is the messiah dave king, I thought he was arriving in january on his white horse to save the day, no sign of that yet is there. all he has done is buy a token amount of shares and call for an egm that he knows won't be successful. this man is full of it and simply dosnt have the wealth to take rangers forward, as for the 3 bears they are so small time they make the easdales look like the rockefellas. what would happen if they took control, where would the money come from to rebuild squad, fix the crumbling staduim, repay debts, invest in youth and everything else that needs doing. yes ashley has made money from newcastle, so what, he's a businessman, he has also spent tens of millions to make that money, that's what investors do, spend to make, I couldn't care less if in 5 years he has made millions as long as rangers are the top team in scotland and playing in champions league, wheres the problem, or do you all just want "rangers men" in charge. i'm fed up playing cowdenbeath and dumbarton, I want rangers back where they belong, top of the pile. thank you e. pierson darlington loyal

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - he has not spent tens of millions, he has lent Newcastle tens of millions, while taking it back out, while his loan has not reduced.}

Ashley is the only person who can take us into CL. He will win the EGM, Somers will go, Llambias will be new CEO, Leach will stay, he will appoint 2 new Directors, and the 3Bs will be asked to join the Board. Ashley will get out of Newcastle then it's onwards.

If he does not win the EGM then he retains his own contracts until expiry date, King nor the 3Bs do not have the money to pay Ashley off, fund the onerous contracts, then there is due diligence on credentials, and then its Admin. Who would you prefer, a billionaire running your club and put a team on the park, or someone who will struggle to pay off Ashley and not be able to put a team on the park.

At the outset SDM ultimately owned all the assets, so what's the problem with Ashley owning all the assets.

As said previously it's a business game and Ashley will win. This forum should be concentrating on the footballing aspects of Glasgow Rangers.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - you do realise he is a billionaire because he doesn't fund things? Rangers will just be another club in debt to him struggling along with no intent on winning things but purely on making him a profit.}

King has done the only thing he can by buying shares and then calling for an EGM. What else is he supposed to do? Do you really think he should have offered the club a loan knowing full well that no matter his terms the board were always taking Ashley's offer? I think there is a good chance that these imposters will be removed at the EGM and that would be in no small part down to King

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:22:40
Tommie, its you who is deluded, Ask yourself this, why is Ashtray so widely despised by his own clubs fans, did they all wake up one morning and decide individually they didn't like him?, no he has raped their football club, and its not just any club, but a very special club with a long local history and fan base, Ashtray has torn the heart out of that city, he had Pardew in his pocket, due to debt I believe, ( gambling is a curse! ), the man left for a much smaller club to escape,! ashtray is a leech who will take everything our club ever makes, and sell every player who is worth anything, one other thing, you say this forum should concentrate on football matters? Yet you scaresly mention football?

Agree0 Disagree0

This is why we are still a laughing stock when fans like the op still believe that ashley is the messiah. ffs I give up😤😤

Agree0 Disagree0

Not for me to judge if you are drunk, however if you think King secured 16% of available shares, then called for an EGM knowing he was going to lose, well. Also, buying 1/6 of a companies share holding is hardly a token gesture.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:00:07
Original poster ar u for real the boards own fans group have pulled the plug on them and more fans will follow I see u Diss David king and 3 bears but then stick up for essedales who say they do not get money from rangers I smell a rat you can take your ideas about ashley and easdales maybe u should join them on the gravy train without the fans use are nout we will not settle for new players new manager new board and ashley out only anyone that continues to back these rats deserve everyinthing they get

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:09:21
Tell me ed as you seem to know ma so well , if he takes over and a year from now, he hasn't invested a penny rangers are languishing mid spl out of both cups , boycott still going crowds are hovering around 8000 a realistic scenario. Where is the money coming from that you insist ma is here to rape and pillage . No tv money in spl , so how is it in his interest to not invest and try and compete with the mighty Celtic , it's the only way the fans would come back to the games and buy merchandise.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - there is no point discussing this, you clearly are just wasting my time as you don't understand his business plan. If you are too ignorant to look into his time at Newcastle and all his other businesses, then you deserve everything you get. Fools and their money are soon parted, and Ashley is more than happy to take yours.}

28 Jan 2015 16:13:30
Tommie that is total drivel Ashley has no desire to have a team in CL as he doesn't want to pay the bonuses. He also does not have authroity to sack somers or appoint Llambias. Furthermore Ashley has made no proposals for the EGM as he is not a big enough shareholding to make any proposals. For ashley it was all about securing retails for when Rangers return to strength, he loves to own brands and exploit it for every penny. The difference between Ashley and SDM before came around there was nothing to judge him on. With Ashley you look at the suffering fans of Newcastle who's owner has no vision, since taking over is £40 in profit on players sold to money spent replacing players. A club where he stuck by Pardew to the bitter end despite his horrific record and public behaviour. Ashley cares nothing for Newcastle or Rangers, if you believe otherwise their are 60K NUFC fans who will be prepared to tell you what we have to look forward to if Ashley became the outright owner.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - just to point out, he stuck by Pardew because he didn't have to pay him, as Pardew was working off a gambling debt to Llambias.}

28 Jan 2015 17:00:54
Sorry for being ignorant and a fool ed but I am genuinely interested as to where the money comes from , if you agree without any investment the scenario I painted low crowd's, very little merchandising being sold , can you just indulge me and explain where he would make his money from.Newcastle are a different case even without a single fan going to see them they get something along the lines of 80 million from tv , so the comparison with them does not hold up . At rangers if the fans don't go there is no money . As had been proven in the past no success equal's no fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - why does he need to invest to get success? Celtic are not investing.}

28 Jan 2015 17:42:19
Ed where did you get that information?
Was Llambias going to smash his knees if he never done it? So he worked off his debt,then they "let" him join Palace?
Sounds a bit Hollywooded up to me.
I'm with King/3bears/Rangers first for avoidance of doubt.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - if you say so, but you might want to look into it, because it is true. No idea how a casino owner gets people to pay him back as I don't frequent them, but he certainly ran up a large debt and then accepted a contract for comparatively low pay in order to pay it off. You do realise Palace paid a lot of money to buy him out of his contract right? He still had debt to pay off, which was part of the deal with Palace paying it off.}

Tommie

Once upon a time there were 3 Bears and a wise King and they were loved and worshiped by all across the land of Bluedonia

Then one dark and tempestuos year there came to Bluedonia a wicked and evil Sorcerer Ashley Fae The Toon! He summoned his nasty disciples Sommy, LLammy and the Sleazy Twins, and as dark skies swirled above Bluedonia they cast securing spells over the whole land of Bluedonia and its citizens, all except the Enchanted Castle Ibroxia. For some unknown reason the Castle was kept safe from these doom filled spells.

As all appeared to be lost and Bluedonia was seeming doomed to become Toontowntwo there was a miracle the wise King managed to break the binding spells the evil sorcerer had beset upon Bluedonia. using the power invested in him by the EGM (End Game Mike) and more than 51% of the Bluetonians he cast the Sorcerer out with his evil disciples and as Bluetonia and the Bears partied long into the night with the wise King it will never be forgoten the time when Bluedonia was nearly lost forever and ever after.

You seem to like fairy tales so thought you might wake up if you read our one.

Long Live Bluedonia

Its a widespread rumour that he owed a few quid, I thought you would have pointed out that it is only rumour,that's all.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - except it is not a rumour.}

Gkk

Did you not see every time Pardew left stadium he was escorted home by two of LLambadas 'heavies' he was having to draw out 300 squids from the ATM in local Tesco before 12am and just after every day for the last 3 months.

He was really stupid ashley bet him ages ago that he would be able to shaft one of the biggest teams in the Uk for a few million quid, take over their boardroom whilst barred from ownership and steal their complete kit deal from under fans noses oh and stick all his men on the board! Pardew bet him 250k as it seemed at total fantasy bet. NO WAY COULD HE GET AWAY WITH THAT in broad daylight.

So yes he was paying debt off lolol

Quite the wordsmith George. Alas, there are some who will forever wander the earth in a deluded haze.
Never mind, keep up the good fight and you never know, You might just get the keys to the kingdom back. Feck knows what state it'll be in after the rapers and pillagers have left though. Good luck in your quest, at least you can say you are one of the few who actually did something. All the best.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed I know for a fact that pardew blew £1m that's why he got the 8yr contract all tied into him repaying the money and that's why they let him go the money crystal palace paid the rest of the debt of and if club is sold and new owner did not want pardew his contract would have to been paid of the money ashleygot for newcastle

No bad mate LOL

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm genuinely interested in what you mean there ed, as far as I can see all the money Celtic make is reinvested in the club in wages, running lennoxtown, the stadium and transfer fees or are you suggesting that someone is taking money out of the club. Is this not what rangers fans want or are you saying you want someone to invest millon of pounds that the club aren't creating? If you get promoted this season and do not invest in the squad you would be no better than mid table and as such the crowds would be low and the merchandising wouldn't sell so I can't see where ma would make any money.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am saying someone doesn't need to invest millions, they can compete on the money the club produces. The issue is that it has to be run as a football club, ie the money spent on producing the best possible team. What Ashley does is take money out to line his already full pockets.

If you really believe Celtic re-invest every penny, then you are living in a bubble. They are a profit making enterprise.}

if its any good to those who doubt, I have posted before, Pardew was up to his eyeballs in gambling debt, may not mean anything coming from me, but I know its true

Everything oorpie says on this site is well thought out, rational, concise and quite brilliantly put.

I think every other poster on the Rangers Rumours site should listen to this man and appreciate the genius that he is.

Just a wee quote from the Sports Direct Newsletter to their staff from Mikey the Pikey

On a personal note I think you are pure dead brilliant and you have helped me no end with my humourous replies and my sarcasm.

Thanks oorpie

If all the fans cut though the bull the END game for the battle of rangers is the EGM, whoever wins we must get behind the team if king win am fine with that if Ashley wins he we have to win over a lot of fans. No one knows what's going on the people who say Ashley just what's r money need to really think about that he got his own men in now and l think they will put rangers rite in the long run but the easdales and Somers must GO if he is serious about good governance, If king wins he must give us his plan and how we deal with all the bad mismanagement that has gone on since 2012 takeover it will be a long run back guys but the egm will go a long way of telling us which road we r on!!

@2 well said that man-better to start again with pride than accept the status quo just because it's the easy option.
I declared long ago that the Rangers I've followed since a boy are finished. That's just how I feel but it's left me without a club and just memories. I'd happily be part of something that creates new memories than have anything to do with a club disguised as Rangers with a ruthless leech like Ashley at the helm.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bay and Penny

IF and I mean IF the worst thing happened and for some reason we lost EGM (ashley maybe buys up shares at crazy prices before EGM vote. unlikely)

I would suggest we approach a team in the ENGLISH 1st or 2nd Division or Conferences until we struck a deal to be AFC Glasgow Rangers

Options:

Bury or Carslile (nearest travel wise) in level 5 one down from English top 4 Division system

Concord Rangers (my fav due to their name :-) level 6, two divisions down from top 4

Corby Town (a big possibility due to Scots population in Corby they would welcome a Rangers takeover/partnership more than any English town I think) level 7 three levels down from top 4

This might sound crazy BUT had we went down that road 3 years ago we would potentially already be in the 1st Division one away from Chamionship or the 2nd Division or at worst 1 division short of the Top Level English leagues.

Imagine a few seasons away from playing in EPL! I am talking without mccoist and co!

Fanciful possibly BUT with 10000 traveling HARDCORE Bears that would support Rangers in any form in any city especially on a dream road to the EPL it isn't an impossible dream!

Please do not get me wrong I am 100% we will go on to win EGM but if we lost and ashley was the choice I would do as AFC Wimbledon did. I can't see why we could't approach English owned teams like above to see who would want to become Rangers AFC and eventually get to the Premiership

Banter mind :-)

there is so much negativity on this page it is quite honestly unbelieveable. Nobody like anybody. Nobody trusts anybody. No matter who comes up to the plate, what's his agenda I hear you all ask.
One big thing that keeps getting forgotten. Rangers are a business, if customers do not buy, revenue plummets and eventually the business folds. Ask anyone who have lost their jobs through redundancy, what its like to have no place to go anymore. I've been there 5 times, and the cause in each case was LACK OF SALES = NO MONEY COMING IN. For the name of God, we NEED to support the club to get money into the bank in order to SURVIVE no matter which "cowboys" are on the board.
The alternative will be to push the gates of Ibrox open and watch the tumbleweed blowing past.
Unless Ibrox is full for home games, we are going into freefall (self inflicted )
Now all you Negatives have a go at me for talking rubbish!!!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Are you quite happy with the terms of Ashley's loan? Are you happy that the club has been saddled with yet more debt and in losing more of a percentage in merchandise sales gives the club less chance to pay the debt off? That deal favours Ashley and does nothing to help the long term future of the club. How some people still can't see this is beyond me

Agree0 Disagree0

Stewie, I can see wee bill's point and I tend to agree. The biggest problem with strikes and/or boycotts is that they drain the life blood of the company. i. e. cash. I also understand the thinking behind stopping the flow of cash to the board. Unfortunately in doing so things are made more difficult for a new board.
Another thing that is worth noting is that even if Ashley's loans are paid off, I would bet London to an orange that the fine detail of the terms will be onerous. e. g. penalties for early repayment.

Agree0 Disagree0

Stewie- I see what you are saying but there is no alternative to debt until our income exceeds the outgoings and that means someone has to lend us the money until we reduce our costs AND increase our income. Gate receipts are the biggest way of raising income.

SDM has a lot to answer for, he would appear to be getting away with HIS mismanagement!

Agree0 Disagree0

@3
How was there no alternative? Weren't you aware of the other offer? This deal is bad for Rangers and the fans have every right to stay away when the football is as bad and the spivs in the boardroom. You can't just let these people run riot with our club and continue to run things to suit themselves than for the good of the club

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee willy

we mostly ALL support King and the 3 Bears check out poll results (ED any chance doing a poll who sides with King/3 Bears or ashley and goons?)

we hate ANYONE trying to f**k the club we love such as this board and ashley. don't you?

so try looking closer at the majority of posts, we live in a democracy and whilst I think anyone supporting ashley and this board is a person I still defend their right to be a person.

Any business that wants to be successful has to listen to it's customers. Customers cannot be blamed for refusing to accept an inferior product or service. Also, suspicion and paranoia usually manifest from being continually lied to, dismissed and treated with contempt. Trust is earned and Rangers fans have every right to be wary of everyone who walks through the doors of Ibrox.

I just hope all Celtic and rangers fans behave on Sunday at the end of the day it's a game of football between 2 clubs, let the fighting be done on the park. Won't be there sadly I will be locking myself in my man cave and watching it with no communication to the outside.

All eyes will be on the fans and the papers will be doing there best t stir it up.

There was a bit of banter last week over the use of the word' GIMP'. Unfortunately, after yesterdays play, the gimp has been positioned over the barrel. The gimp in this case is collectively the fans. What other deals will be done before the EGM? The 26% holding of Easdale, has become even more so important now. It may be too late to have a 'special' haircut, as the short and curlies are being firmly grasped.

It is nice to see all the rangers supporters factions all agreeing on one point, the need and requirement for the removal of the current board incumbents. I think this may be the time, if it hasn't already been proposed, for the various factions to hold a democratic vote of their members e.g rst ( recognised organised structured fan bodies) on a full season ticket boycott of their members in the event that the incumbent board are retained at the egm to apply fan pressure on the corporate investment bodies to understand the financial cost of ignoring the fans wishes.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 07:46:30
I don't suppose many will agree but I would accept a 5 nil defeat on sunday in return for getting rid of all the crooks at the egm. Beating Celtic is way down my list at the moment, plenty opportunities in the future ( if we have a future)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agreed. There are too many of our fans still living in a dream world where we are still at the top, and it's just 'inconvenient circumstances' or some sort of conspiracy that we're not allowed to be.

One day, we will be, but not now. Celtic will likely gub us badly, and after the numpties in our ranks have wrecked a few bars and spilled a few pints of blood in childishness, we will be exactly where we are now - fighting for our very existence at the hands of a succession of spivs - and that story is not done yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

If they don't take at least 3 off of us, big questions should be getting asked in the media and by their fans, they have no excuses!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hate to say it but I would take a 10 0 defeat to livingston if it meant getting rid of the Parasites that are currently squatting in our board room 10 0 defeat would be embarrassing but not half as embarrassing as those cretons on the board especially hippo head somers

Agree0 Disagree0

How does any defeat by any number against any team somehow equate to the removal of the current board. If we lose or beat celtic 10-0 it will still come down to the vote at the EGM. No matter how the team performs till then won't make any difference to the outcome so I would rather we won those games

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2015 16:35:45
That's not what they were saying pal, simply saying they would happily accept that for a new board, they didn't actually mean it as a proposition? Read them again eh

Agree0 Disagree0

6-0 max don't want any new records for dhims to wind us up with but as Stewie posts nothing matters from loans to 10-0 defeats

The EGM is the end game we have desperately needed for 3 years

King will get at least 55% and this board will be history

The loans will be repaid and this dark dark era will at long last start to become a nasty nightmare for all us Bears

F**K it will be great to stop arguing politics on here and start talking football again

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

I am George, this lots days are numbered, and they know it, they refused loan from the bears for that reason, ie the bears told them they would be voting everyone of them off the board, off the premises, if we get our way, witch ime sure we will, c'mon the e. g. m.

I have read the posts and tbh it's a stupid post. happily take a big defeat of it got rid of the board? How exactly does the equate?

I agree I hope Andy Murray gets pumped 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 in the semi so he can save himself for the next big tournament and have loads energy to beat Novac then

"The great stadium robbery continues"


Roll on the EGM!


I am mystified by this mornings stock market notice, how can this latest swindle benefit the shareholders and be in the best interest of the club? This is a complete stitch up and benefits nobody apart from Cashley.

I see a fish called somers eventually appeared today? This guy must be a plant! He is either an insider trader or he works for Spivs direct, he is most certainly not a competent person to be even considered as a chairman of a PLC board is this for guy for real?

An absolute disgrace of a man and the board are quite happy to allow this imbecile to sound happy with the great deal for rangers, I mean who is kidding who, it will be an absolute miracle if this guy actually sees the EGM!

Strange that the whole T3B and kings offer was scuppered so that jakey sleasdale can be kept on the board FFS.

And people think they do a great job for rangers? They don't take a penny out of rangers aye right! How much money and future revenue have the "twins" prevented going to the club! But they don't take a penny! Aye right


Not only a total boycott but Spivs direct will not see a penny from me and I mean until they discover the outrageous terms that Chico sold down the river, this will without doubt be found to " be not in the best interest of the shareholders" if not illegal I will be astounded.


Roll on the EGM

After Sunday I am intending coming up for as long as I can and liasing with people to start some form of 24/7 camped out protest if we can get people to do this in shifts at the ground in a place where we won't just be moved on.

Alternatively invasion of pitch and camping there (not over sprinklers lolo)l and staying put until something happens or until they are thrown out at the EGM.
