share price still dropping. closed today at 52. 5p
not a good sign I fear.
with all the positives coming out of the club ( ST sales, WiFi deals and almost completely new squad) I would have thought a renewed vigour would have appeared in the share price. Maybe lack of accounts are making the market twichy. comments?

Maybe a game of poker going on with green and co spend spend spend say the money is going they want out
Rangers man moves in [king]
a big game of poker for the soul of Rangers up for stake

I don't understand how the situation you describe is like poker. Spend spend spend and say ypou want out so someone else can come in and take over the game? When was the last time you played poker mate?

This is not about Rangers soul, we sold that to the devil when McCoist was appointed, this is about repairing the damage done by the vultures hovering over Ibrox and the lying thieves within the club, to be honest if this is the way Rangers are going to carry on I would rather the club was dissolved than watch Whye, Green, Smith, McCoist etc pick our bones clean

Look at the trading volume. very few shares are changing hands. when volume starts to increase with a falling share price then you can start to worry

Number 4. Volume is not a true reflection or indicator of value or sentiment. Volume only applies when shares are put on offer by a seller and somebody buys, hence creating "volume". How do you know how many shares are on the open market available for sale, well you dont. The seller will continue to drop their selling price as they become more desperate to sell. Volume is therefore not that relevant on a downward spiral. Volume is very relevant on an upward spiral.

@5. And you know how many shares are available!.

@3 Celtic fan here but feel sorry for guys like you

you have kept quiet about this today. I thought you didn't have money worries.

The ousted chief executive - still the biggest shareholder at Ibrox - is calling for urgent changes amid fears of a looming cash crisis at the club.
Green has lodged a legal letter saying ex-chairman Malcolm Murray - described by insiders as his "nemesis" - must be axed as a director.
He also wants Murray's ally Phil Cartmell ditched - and for bus tycoon James Easdale to finally join the board after months of wrangling.
Sources close to Green claim he's even considering returning to run the club in a day-to-day role if changes aren't made.
His demands came in a formal request for an emergency general meeting of shareholders, which the club was examining yesterday.
An insider said: "Charles and other investors are unhappy with how the club is being run - especially the influence Malcolm has.
"There are worries that cash raised in the stock market float last year is being rapidly eaten into. Costs must be cut and revenues raised or Rangers are in trouble.
"But all we see is players being signed and season ticket prices being frozen. "
The move comes weeks after a separate group of investors loyal to Green made similar demands for a crisis meeting.
Green, 60, fronted the consortium which took over Rangers last year but quit as chief exec in April amid claims of links to shamed ex-owner Craig Whyte.
Rangers would not comment last night. Green could not be reached.

shammy

1st day I've not bought a paper after starting buying them again on Monday basically because works slow at the moment. It's very worrying Shammy I wish Green would just stay away but if he's got to be the man to come in & make cuts so be it it's a must.

good to see our ex superstar keeper who was supposed to be the best keeper in the world get his big move this week. he's so rated not one big club came in for him at 1 million. he's resorted to the mighty hull well done greegsy.

also what is it with the enigma that is boyd couple of years ago mcleish wanted him fo 4 million and today he can't get signed on a free even from small spl club.

I don't know why mcgregor os being slated. He took a 75% wage cut and never got the money back.

I will never forget his finger tip save against werder bremam. Was class for us. Had a poor season, I hope he proves his doubters wrong.

I think the reason MacGregor never went to a big team is because of all his off field antics and bad press. Personally I think he will get a move after this season as long as he keeps out of trouble

When was he rated world no 1?

Allan McGregor is a top quality goalkeeper. He was worth probably 10-15 points per season to us and is consistently a stand-out for Scotland in big games. A move to Hull is a good move for him, a great chance to showcase his talent on the highest level. Stop looking at it through pro-Rangers blinkers. Just because he walked away from the club doesn't change the facts.

@1 How do you know he had a bad season? Do you watch much Turkish football or are you just talking out of your arse?

Greegsy was fantastic at Rangers, maybe not quite Andy Goram's level but one of our best ever keepers.

Wish folk would stop pretending otherwise and making out he's some kind of traitor. Neil Alexander stayed on and look at all the thanks he was given by the Rangers board.

MacGregor was immense at Rangers. All the Best at HULL.

Op,

Get over the bitterness. Were you not happy to have him as our keeper? He was certainly the best in our league. They do not owe you anything, they are guys earning a living, and have to make the moves that are right for them. Out of interest, how much did you think he was worth when he played for us?

Slating a guy that has made it to the cashcow they call the epl.
i for one wish him all the best

JG

On the 17th August he could be playing against Chelsea on the opening day of the season in the biggest cash cow league in the world. You lot are away to Stranraer in Scottish Div2. Why are you slagging him? I think he wins.

#5 it has been well publicised by the scottish media that he wasnt doing too well and was being blamed by a section of the supporters for their poor performance.

Vastly over rated goal keeper. Was decent but no more was never going to be picked up by the giants of world football. Just not in that class

@6 he is a traitor was very well looked after at Ibrox and even with the pay cut made a great living from the club. In the clubs hour of need he deserted us. No one disputes his right to move and no one expected him to stay but he could have at least signed over and had a clause inserted that any bid over £500k and he could move. He would have still got his move and the club would have got some cash. At that time it could have been the difference between survival and death

He took a pay cut to join hull so he could test himself in epl. If he helps a poor team like hull. The bigger teams will be after him. Remember the penatly save for us to go on and win the title

Blue bells are blue

@13: nonsense. Calling him and others a traitor just proves your bitterness towards anyone who does what's right for them and their family because it wasn't what you believe was right for a football club.

@15 sorry but your talking nonsense. He could have easily transferred over with a small buy out clause. He would still have got his move and the club would have got much needed cash. Is that too difficult for u to understand?

@16: I understand it, of course, but have you ever thought it might not have been that simple. Maybe he and the others were just sick of the whole thing and had legitimate worries about their own financial futures having already taken massive wage cuts. The first thing you'd do is make sure your finances were ok for the future as soon as possible - are you honestly saying you'm have waited around to do that? Would you have put your employer above your family?

#-5 Mcgregor sacrificed about £300,000 which he was entitled to in a bid to help our club. More than enough help.

@17 we aren't talking about guys who are on minimum wage here. Some of these guys were earning £25k a week! Even with te wage cut its still considerable more than the average person will earn. These cuts were always going to be temporary and yes it was that simple if they transferred over their contracts. They still would have got their moves, the would still have earned big money and the club would have got some much needed cash.

@19: you budget based on what you earn so those on big money will have bigger mortgages, cars, possibly school fees and people they pay a wage to - cleaner, accountant etc. That standard of life, whether you think it opulent or not, is what would have been affected so you'd want to sort it for your family as soon as possible so it could stay that way. The money they can earn is ridiculous but the principle is the same for 25k or 500quid a week. Why put your employer who has been paying you much less and is in big trouble before your family? Would you?
