Fraser Mullen released by hearts only 19 worth a punt for cover, thoughts?

Never heard of him, is he any good?

Th xclue is in 'released by'. Whilst we have so many promising youngsters, why would we want their rejects?

08 Jun 2013 08:21:02
@2: so Rangers have never signed a player who's been released? Or shouldn't as that means they're a reject?

@3 You're missing my point. Why should we bring in youngsters when we have so many of our own ready to step up? Not suggesting that we should never sign a released player, but not at the expense of one of ours. However, if he was really good, they would be hanging onto him surely, or at least trying to get money for him? Maybe he has a bad attitude, who knows?

sone aluko was a player who was who rangers went for was good played just because some teams see a player in one light doesn't mean anything

@5 Are you Fraser Mullen, or his dad?

See in my opinion this is the best thing that's happened to us (starting from the bottom) since we have we have seen the players who are WILLING to play for the JERSEY! Anyone who we sign surely isn't lacking ambition but are wanting to progress by getting rangers back to were we belong! And this is where we see the youth players brought through. When we get back to the top I hope to god we don't do any stupid big signings which done us over and cost us, bring the players in who are WANTING to play for the badge and not the money. Would like to see cathcart and weiss back since they are o out of contract but tbh cathcart and weiss are top players but weiss cpuld be back since he is a rangers fan at heart but will money oversee him? Hopefully not, would be a reat addition for us!

The GS

Good god how deluded can you get. This Weiss nonsense is ridiculous, if he had went to celtic he would have done the same thing only in green!

Ed bring back the disagree button. Everybody is entitled to their opinion but this has been a nightmare!!

JG

Players who are willing to play for the jersey? I thought Sandaza put that notion to bed. Most signings are mercs who were being offered little elsewhere and their own club let their contract run out without tieing them down to an extension. Don't kid yourself. A football career is short and I don't blame people for going for the money. I agree with #1, many of you are completely deluded. No all, but a lot.

While I agree they aren't playing for the jersey, I disagree with #3. All the players we have signed were offered contracts at their previous clubs.

Sad but true. playin for the jersey belongs to a different era. Look at Scott the Ned Brown, a Rangers fan apperently but went with Celtic for the money. Just one example of hundreds.

Weiss is the same as humphrey very fast but nothing else

Went for trophies not the money. What a great decisions by browny. martyc1888

@4 but more than likely for less money tho

N7 he would have won a lot more trophies if he had went to rangers how many has celtic won compare to rangers since he put his marh oops I mean signiture on dotted line

Yes #4. I never said they weren't offered contracts, they weren't tied down to an extension. For players of any value this would normally be done 1+ year in advance.

Nobody is saying that these guys won't be trying, but let's not kid ourselves that they will be playing purely for the jersey. They are middle of the road pro's with a short career in which to make their money.

Scott brown is a dyed in the wool hibee, like his whole family. stop posting mince. bet you stilll beieve the b******* about party tunes blaring out his car on way to sign for the hoops, or the onne about the alleged tattoo that got blown right out the water on Scotland trip abroad when he was pictured in his boxers on a sun lounger and then again trying to throw an ex hearts player in the pool, and no tattoo of the dubious types in sight. some of you lot believe some sad sh!te.

11,

If images of broon in his boxers make you happy, so be it. 21st century after all.

To all rangers fans do yourselves a favour an go back and read the prospectus document. In there you will find lots of info regarding the club, how the assets were bought from rfc2012, who bought the assets how much they paid, what they bought, the structure of rifc after the share offer, how many shares are owned by the original investors in rfcl, how the subsidiary companies are structured, who owns them, how the joint venture with sports direct is structured, who has a lock in on shares, etc etc etc etc

Maybe then we can concentrate on this seasons football issues and hopefully enjoy some good football and watching our new players in action

Just a thought

JG

But in the same prospectus nothing about Whytes claims or Greens pre-ipo shae sales. ?

you point JG - caveat emptor - buyer beware?

26,000 bought shares before and lost thier shirts.

How many fans are in jepardy this time, with the right intentions. to save thier club any way they can.

06 Jun 2013 14:43:35
I notice that the Easdales have a "delicate" deal to buy most of Green shares.
Let's delicately suggest that Green sells to someone else like King.

Well said. WW

Here we go again!The spivs are gathering around Ibrox once again. I am sick to death of these people coming out of the woodwork to make a fast buck at the fans expense. Well this is one fan they will make F all from. I am NOT buying a season ticket just to fill these depicable peoples pockets! What was it Ally said? The club needs clensed? Is this an exaple of the club being clensed? I`m going to see the juniors next year - £ 45 for a Pollok season ticket! And not a spiv in sight!

Good, your team and the rest of us will follow on without you!

Calm down sun he is buying 700,000 of Charles Greens 5 Million shared. 5 Million shares was equal to 13% of the club so that makes 700,000 about 3%. You need 51% to have full control. This guys a hedge fund manager and former major shareholder with the Viz. His jobs is to introduce new investors in under valued companies. Unlike Whyte & Green he a clean track record.

I agree, no way will I buy a season ticket until we have people who really care about Rangers future. I get a feeling the season ticket money will end up in the pockets of those investors who got their shares for 1p. We need to see some accounts for gods sake. At least show us on paper how the season ticket money will be spent to further the cause.

@2/ Are you kidding. Do some research on the way he works in a boardroom. This guy has trouble wrote all over him.

I suspect this site is full of wee timmys. Every true supporter I know and speak to, who had a season ticket last year will defo be renewing this season.

People invest in company's to make money. Doubt they care about the football as long as cash is being generated to make them money.

Dont buy a season ticket we don't want you

The hedge mob buying shares will own one yes one percent the single number one so don't panic the ways things are going they will be choking to sell their one percent at the earliest date possible so calm down

He is buying 13% of greens shares- he is not running the club or joining the board.
he will only have a only have a vote at the AGM or EGM.
The collective fans shareholding is greater.

@7 a very blinkered comment, it sounds like if you have a different opinion frm me then beat it, grow up and listen to a valid opinion.

(5)& (7)
We are not, and never will be a support of knuckle dragging bigoted supporters who tell people how to spend their hard earned money.
If peple wish to hold off buying season tickets, then that is their right. They are allowed!
will we ban them if they don't buy right away? will we harrass them as bad supporters for waiting to see what's really going on at our club?
will we target them in the years to come? bloody hell get a grip. "We don't want you" what kind of person are you? have you by any chance got jackboots etc stored in the attic?
We the supporters have the right to buy when ever we wish, we the support have the right to ask questions, we the support have the right to openess? we the support don't need to be told we are not needed by persons like you. listen to everyones views not just your own. its called democracy.

Why the big hoo haa over the accounts 90% of us wouldn't be able to decipher a well presented set of accounts anyway as they are set out to be decipherable by Philidelphia Lawyers only! Surely the only thing you guys can do is renew your STs and push for fan representation/ownership. PS My accountant is a Bear and he would be great on your board. Gbhoy.

A bit harsh 11, I see nothing bigoted in the guys post (this site IS infested) and then you go on about having the right to air your views but call him a knuckle dragger for doing just that. Surely you understand and even share the passion people have for our club and the desire as a supporter to do all we can to see it through the hard times, even if that means putting your hand in your pocket for ST without knowing where the money will end up. You have concerns, we all do and personally, I wouldn't blame you for wanting to wait a bit until the situation becomes clearer, but I, for one, cannot wait till the start of the new campaign and will do whatever I can to support.

Scotland has one season. football season. Duccablue

@12: infested? You do realise that this site isn't just for fans of one club? It's for banter about that club. If you don't like that idea, don't come onto the site.

07 Jun 2013 15:56:53
Meant @13 in post 14.

Yes, infested and did I say I have a problem with it? but by all means continue to to have a go at the use of this word and avoid actually commenting on the substance of the thread.

Heard stadium rename going up. And Murray Park soon.

Just a little note, all these Celtic fans calling referees our brothers, eg masons, if they knew their history, they would know that big jock was a mason and that's why he was never offered a position on the board.

Heed

And you have proof of this how? Stein was refused a seat on the board, shamefully, because he was non Catholic. The board were also scared of the power he had with the support.

Lets not Drag religion in again there's absolute no need guys nit picking about Big Jock who cares its History & no longer has a place at any of our Clubs I'm just back my Hols & seen 2 young lads clearly best mates seen them on 3 or 4 separate occasions everytime they both had a different Rangers Shirt & a different Celtic shirt on I thought that was great.

Us bears have suffered in the recent years but if we support our Club properly then maybe within 5years we can better them on the pitch without Celebrating Juventus beating them or St Mirren or dragging up Jock was a Mason his success must have came from his Elite Masonic Bloodline give it a break concentrate on our problems let's fix them & let's have a healthy Relationship with the old Tic. I'm still a firm believed that ones no good without the other we deserve to be where we are but I'm not going to lie & say I don't miss us playing In the Top Flight I think the standard improved last season but unfortunately a lot of the Clubs are losing there best players think it might be a touch easier for Celtic next season.

Larky Bear

Stein was not offered a place on the board as he was not corporate minded. However, Walter gets the job as Chairman! Season Tickets?

Well said larky bear its the only way we can all mob forward. HH. Joe

I just mentioned that big jock was a mason because on their page they said the refs are our brothers 'masons', being a mason has nothing to do with being protestant or catholic, as there are many Catholics who are members of the masons, yes I know religion has nothing to do with football.

it also has nothing to do with the ira or any other paramilitary group. Football is best described as " 22 overpaid schoolboys kicking a ball about for an hour and a half. " when people stop with the roi s*** and Ulster stuff then the Scottish game will move on.

Yes both clubs have large fanbases in Ireland and that is great but both sets of fans need to get it right and agree Protestant and Catholics along with North south divide and also freemasonary have nothing to do with football.

heed

The guy who says big jock was a mason is correct and he is also correct saying that's why he was not allowed on the board 100 per cent true

Good post do you remember celtic fans hiring a private detective to see if one ref was a mason what a pathetic bunch they are

I liked big jocks tattoo

Larkybear- the voice of reason. Well said that man!

@7 lol if anyone knows pathetic mate I am sure as hell sure you do mate lol
