we have banned the daily record from Ibrox?? anyone heard- the BBC and now the record, not long til every media outlet is banned from a place that was once the home of truth and dignity

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Daily record has always been anti Rangers haven't bought that paper for 20 years what's the problem

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol spam funniest thing posted on any of these pages, fact. And in you fantasy world the succulent lamb brigade of reporters from the record were anti rangers and jim trainor the records chief football reporter for years never jumped at the first job rangers offered him.

Yes maybe in the past they have been a bit anti Rangers and. don't forget that mob call it the daily ranger its all about opinions, but I've got to say during this current saga they have been pro king and anti board hence the reason for ban, Every little helps.

{Ed001's Note - I think the problem is that everyone is biased, so they misunderstand what is happening. Take off your blue or green tinted specs and you will see they are simply doing what every news outlet does. It is not about being anti one or the other, it is simply that negative stories sell copies, so they print negative stories about both. You would be all better off just not bothering with the dross they put out, as there is never going to be any balance in news stories, as they just want to sell copies.}

10 Feb 2015 11:30:08
As you say ed banner headlines to sell papers if they can pick up stories on any side. just noticed s. o. s appear to be siding with the paper and its views of the board.
r. f

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - that is the thing people always forget about papers, they will gladly take an easy option of running a story that is presented to them ready to go. Hence putting a press release to them is something clubs used to do about every story. It was easy publicity. These days they don't bother. It seems the fans groups are making that effort though, so they are getting the publicity.}

Well said Ed. The DR just wants to sell copies and has run anti Rangers and anti Celtic stories throughout the years. Now they are trying to create a story by being banned, which they obviously hoped to be.

Have little respect for the paper myself, Jackson's wealth of the radar story on Craig Whyte and James Traynor asking Whyte to approve his copy for an article being just two reasons.

As for the BBC, when did that ban end or did I just imagine Chick Young interviewing Kenny MacDowall on air at the weekend?

The further away it is the more chance the bams amongst your support will get hammered on the bus, arrive there hammered, make a scene and give them an excuse to call it all off.
With your board I don't think that's cynical I think that's the plan

RANGERS has today been informed that the Millennium Gloucester Hotel & Conference Centre which was the intended venue for the Requisitioned General Meeting (“GM”) on Wednesday 4 March 2015 is no longer available.

The hotel management at the Millennium Gloucester has taken advice from different quarters and concluded that the GM cannot be managed without significant disruption to guests and neighbours.
The hotel management felt it necessary to take this position after receiving numerous complaints and false information from individuals purporting to be shareholders.
The Board is concerned the situation was exacerbated by irresponsible and inaccurate media coverage.
An alternative venue is currently being sought in the London area and will be announced as soon as possible.
The Board apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused shareholders due to matters out with its control.
Just as we thought would happen.
AJM.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No doubt this is another cynical tactic by the board

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - Nothing to do with the board, the hotel can not guarantee the comfort of its guests and neighbours, I work in a hotel, and not one of the standard this one is and I know what rowdy guests do, not just to the guests but to the property and surrounding areas, its not a good idea)

@abear

Do you know who selects the venue for the egm? Does the NOMAD have any say in this, and if so why select London at an estimated cost of £200k could this be a final payday to try and drawdown the second tranche of £5m? This is an outrage and the LSE or AIM should be asking serious questions of the nomad


RR

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye there was a guy on radio clyde saying that could happen ta night and he said he had heard that Ashley was trying ta put us inta admin again.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair point ed, much appreciated.

Agree0 Disagree0

If only rangers owned a large building that could comfortably seat a couple of thousand shareholders, was free and was local. wait a minute.

Agree0 Disagree0

Andy Mac, there is no way rangers will be put into admin again too many offers on table to provide funding

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed although I think you make a fair comment with regards hotel bein inadequate, I also think the board should have thought this out, as it now makes them look even shadier (if that's possible) why don't they hold it at Chelsea ground as it's only a mile down the road from the now canceled hotel.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't have it at home as us fans ( life blood of the club) are to intimidating & want THE REAL IMPORTANT Questions Answered) so they fear for there safety!!!Saying that Charlie Chuckles had to hide out in a safe house, Whyte in hiding & I hope Murray's in a cave somwhere (in reality all 3 will be sitting back, feet up with healthy bank accounts & not a care in the world!).

I assume with the mall amount of money in Scottish football that the difference between the premier league and championship is not that great.

Therefore as long as then EGM goes the way most of us hope and we get our club hack not going up this year might not be a disaster indeed could it be positive? Could it give a new coach time to build a team including good youngsters who would be at the top of a league and playing with style and confidence as oppossed to going up and scrapping for at best a place in top 6?

I know the football is not as important as off field matters but I for one wouldn't be gutted if we did not make it up this year, as long as change and improvement comes.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Stef

My thoughts exatly mate I want to go up this year but it is the compensation if we do not another years in Championship will help compensate for the 3 years wasted by ally mcdowall and durrant they should be ashamed of themselves and 3.2million pounds stolen from Rangers by them too

Murray park has been a steady production for the rest of Scottish football there are quite a lot of boys who went through Murray park doing great jobs for other teams some teams a lot better than us at the minute so exactly what has McDowell and Durant been doing with these players there tactics are dinosaur

Could Peter Lawell's influence be vital to King's attempt to take over. Lawell will never publicly show anything to upset Celtic fans, but Lawell knows Celtic are weak without Rangers and together both clubs have greater say in the way money is divided. Peter Lawell strikes me of "a better devil you know" kind of guy. I think privatley he will be concerned at the prospect of Rangers likely not returning to the SPL premiere next season and knows their is still a thirst from fans for Old Firm fans. It is undoubted Lawell holds massive infludence at the SFA, I believe all the blazers will look to accomodate king to end the only concentration of the scottish game of how badly Rangers are being run. The SFA will more likely deal with the Devil they know than risk more faceless investors or Mike Ashleys defiance to stick to agreements.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Was listening to Clyde on way home. guy came on saying Ashley was wanting to put rangers into admin and that he's already spoke to three admin people, any info on this

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 19:44:41
Impossible with funding offers available no administration event can be signed off. An EGM being called also blocks the same.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't see how a judge could possibly grant administration seeing as we have several people in the wings willing to invest!

Agree0 Disagree0

There will be rumour after rumour until the EGM actually takes place. Whether you want to believe them or see how things pan out, is up to each individual. I would not put anything past this crowd of shysters. Every dirty trick in the book will be used. By the time they are finished, a new book may have to be written. Get them tae.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 14:44:08
I just noticed on another rangers site the guy at the hotel saying e. g. m. Might not go ahead at this hotel, wtf, these parasites are doing everything to try putting people of from attending the e. g. m. so I hope every small share holder has giving power to a supporters group to act as there proxy voter, let's see what these people are trying there utmost to prevent us from seeing, the books,.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

This is a piece a nonsense this. Why is there no-one on the LSE to step in in cases like this to ensure fair play?

It also said a Rangers spokeswoman insisted "that is the venue and its booked" .

Agree0 Disagree0

It, s not called the Aim casino for nothing. You can get away with an awful lot compared to one of the more reputable markets. It, s like the wild west, Don, t get caught in the cross fire.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk I think there should be somebody from the s"f. a"getting involved to get this sorted out, but asking them to get involved is harder than predicting tomorrow nights euro millions numbers eh, what are the s. f. a. doing to aid one of its clubs, it's biggest club in fact, sweet fanny Adams. imho.

Agree0 Disagree0

If you go on to the lse and go to Paul Shackleton, listen to the conversation and the history of this nomad, it, s not very encouraging, very concerned about this characters history in dealing with finance, if this board was doing there so called due diligence this man would be nowhere near a fair and accountable egm, who advised the board to avoid going to yesterday's game, it wasn't police scotland ( by all accounts) is this just a ploy to discredit the Rangers fans, we have to be very carefull, as I feel they would be very happy for disturbances in London, to cancel this egm, wouldn't be surprised if they stick a couple of rogue elements in the attendance to reek havoc

Agree0 Disagree0

Dougdunlop, I see a bit on another page advising us to have a listen to said page, but other peoples comments more or less told us there opinions were like your own mate in re this guy, mr king has new nomad once we get rid of the people after e. g. m. whenever that may be. but I honestly think that every body that has been involved since whyte to Ashley are all crooks, only here for as much money as they can earn, and all involved together, IMHO.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rf this should let you know how never to take any of the current board that make these statement for real eh.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 13:03:27
To be honest, I am kind of glad we are no longer in the cup. I don't think this team could handle any teams from the top league and I don't want humiliated again!
I have written this season off and I can't wait for it to end.
Once there is a new board room, manager and players then we can look forward again.
the team has no confidence, and we have a manager who has no confidence and doesn't want to be there.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

New players will have to be next season. We're not looking good for the play offs and stuck where we are is most likely. I hope King and company realise how bad the club has become. This is not Rangers.

Agree0 Disagree0

We can go over this time and time again saying the same things about our team. but the simple fact is that one of our greatest ever ranger has put us in this situation. forget boardroom troubles for a minute and look at the crux of the problem. wattie recruited mc diddy fae dignity fc in 2007. he came with a very high pedigree where he was very successfull with dignity fc youth team. so he has had 9years to oversea the youth development at murray park. now we have aird and Hutton as first team regulars that are good junior players at best. which leads me to super salary. he was the one that signed black (God even typing his name makes me want tae boak), sheils, moshni zalukas, foster, smith (again. why!!!), Law, Boyd, Miller, Clarke and daly. players who have under performed while picking up huge salaries that me and you can only dream of. it used to mean something playing for Rangers however that prestige has gone because of this lot. personally I can't see us winning the play off which will probably be against hibs so for that I truly thank Alastair mccoist and Kenneth McDowell for giving us Thee worst team ever!
Roll on the egm and please Mr king give us back our dignity.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigcol

You are dead right mccoist has as much to do with the state of Rangers than any other person. Took the 800k salary plus shares deal then surprise surprise supported EVERY crook and dodgy business person from day one until he finally decided the fans were right he had to go. but still milking us of 12 months more cash. rangers legend? Never again for me he is the number one culprit BESIDE whyte, green, mather, ahmad, stockbridge, easdales and somers he got the Rangers fans to trust these people and never once stood up to them and protected the team or the fans. Add to that the old pals network he has set up at Rangers producing the worst football quality in 142 of Rangers history. He is for me the WORST Ranger of all time not the Best.

A certain pr man seems to think king has no money and sayd these 5 loan signings a far supeior and says they will get us promoted but if king comes in we will stay in championship as loans can be terminated

Believable0 Unbelievable0

09 Feb 2015 13:13:13
4 of these said 5 Loan players are injured so please tell me how they will get us promoted?

Agree0 Disagree0

Craig we can expect a lot of rubbish from these people desperately trying to cling to there jobs even for another month, trying and hoping for low turn out at e. g. m. this is because they know that there gold mine is ready to come under a change of ownership, and I hope that our support ask themselfs what have any of these parasites done for the good of our club.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 09:35:46
Billyb I get what your saying here. There is a possibility that a gathering of possibility thousands of fans could descend into another Manchester, and yes it might be more productive to go about it in an alternative fashion.

I just feel the willingness to travel that distance on mass shows at least how strongly they care about the future of our club. I would hate to see any ugly scenes on the news showing us in a bad light, but if organised properly it could be a very powerful statement.

Ashley is clearly trying to oppose any efforts to overthrow his power base hence the reason the venue is hundreds of miles away. He is also attempting in my opinion to buy up enough shares through other parties to stop king and co from achieving their goal.

We as a fan base still have a huge part to play in all this and providing our efforts are channelled in the right way I still believe we can win the day.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

How many shares has he bought through parties mate?Do you keep an eye on this?

Agree0 Disagree0

Cicsy, We must play them at their own game. Basically, for thousands to attend the venue to protest, with feelings as they are, is a potential powderkeg. No matter the intention, history has shown us that protests are prone to infiltration by activists.
So to ensure we get the resolution we want, I feel it is critical that we [ the fans. ] must be shown in a good light, and then they will be exposed for exactly what they are.
I also feel that an on-line petition should be started to clearly outline where we stand. Then this, together with a statement of intent, could be sent to all investors/shareholders that may hold the key to a King victory. I'm sure Dave King will have a list of the definites, the probables and possibles for his cause and therefore his guidance should be requested.

Agree0 Disagree0

It all seems about individualism with us. The 6 people that initially showed up at Ibrox that day to different fan group factions. I personally have my head in a spin about what is best, a reasonable suggestion is for all factions of the Rangers support to organise a date for a good constructive debate. Let's all come together for the good of the name. Oh and by the way if it came of we should thank the initial 6 that turned up at Ibrox that day. Just a suggestion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cicsy I think small shareholder should avoid going to london by giving a supporters group proxy for there vote, besides we can get these parasites back for the rest of our life's, by boycotting the sports shop owned by the fat chap. and avoid busses and taxi firms owned by the two other fat ugly chaps, revenge is a dish best served cold.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk in answer to your question no I don't keep an eye on who is buying up shares because if truth be told I'm not that well informed. I'm simply basing my assumption on the fact that Ashley clearly takes the threat of king and co very seriously.

Look at the ease he has breezed into ibrox virtually unopposed. look at the total contempt he has shown for the authorities running the game in Scotland regarding the duel ownership issues. In short the man has got his hooks into Rangers without much of a fight at all.

In king however he has suddenly found its not going to be as simple as he thought due to the shares buy up that's resulted in this egm. I also don't believe this Moddi character is unconnected to Ashley as he now out of the blue has expressed an interest in buying into the club. It's only an opinion mate nothing more.

In response to George and billyb, on reflection regarding the mass protest planed I have to conceed it may well be a good idea not to risk any possible disturbances as I agree it could backfire on us big time. I still believe groups like s. o. s have a part to play because they obviously care deeply about the club but maybe an online petition would be a better road to go down.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 08:59:02
The current board just keep sinking to lower and lower depths with the latest garbage in yesterday's papers which was being regurgitated on SSN this morning that they could not attend the Raith game based on security advice. What a load of s***e! Yes they would have got it verbally from those in attendance but I don't believe for a second it would have gone further than that. The fact that they want to paint a picture of their customers as a bunch of hooligans shows how little they care for us or our club. Roll on the EGM and hopefully in a few weeks time the club will be in the hands of people who care about RFC.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Police advice not to attend game for their own safety, that wasnt s***e! Not remember the scenes before and after the Hearts game? Not saying don't have plenty to be angry about. but def going about things the wrong way. Non violent protests, no threats, simply starve the club and board dry! Boycott all games, boycott Ashley products, one supporters group and throw weight behind 3 bears.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 10:14:44
The scenes you say before and after the Hearts game, in my opinion they were caused by hearts fans goading our fans constantly and raising banners which were clearly designed to taunt and cause trouble, not saying we don't have an unpleasant element, we always have had, but im, sick at everything is pointed at Rangers fans, while other fans sing and dance at our misfortune,

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 13:10:06
Rangers the only club in the world where the board boycott games to get fans attention. What nonsense, cowards.

Agree0 Disagree0

Penny arcade the board are getting a lot of attention, all because they don't care about the club, they are meant to do all legal things in there power to help the club, instead they look after themselfs and the shareholders, ime dying to see what the new board find under the bonnet, and these parasites are doing all in there power to prevent anybody else seeing under the bonnet, that in its self let's us know they are trying to hide there dodgy dealings.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2015 03:57:02
Wow, so Newcastle loaned the club 5 young players and it was all over the news. Amazing that no one mentioned that they were not fit. Only two were able to start against Raith and one of them had to go off. They should run a raffle and offer a few supporters, who attend the game, the chance to put on a jersey and play 15 minutes each.
It would Raise funds, bring in supporters and there is no way any of the true fans would show as little passion for the club as this current lot do. They should be charged under the trades descriptions act for falsely calling themselves Rangers players. The lot ovwer at Parkhead don't need to embarrass this lot, they do quite well on their own. Totally clueless from the Board all the way down to the team on the park. At least the caterers, parking attendants, cleaners etc. have a plan and follow it to achieve their goal. If extra people turn up or there is an unusual mess and even extra cars/coaches (highly unlikely at this point), they at least have a back-up plan. You keep thinking that things will only get better. but they dont.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not many loanees turn up to any club match fit

Sorry laylex, at least most of them can get a run out but to be unable to even go on bench. name excuse.

Agree0 Disagree0

What is it password, you want rid of Ashley but will take his loans, 2 of the 5 came injured and then Gael got injured on Friday it does happen, while we are at it let's blame cammy bell aswell if he never got injured then simonsen wouldn't be in goal

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe since signing Simonsen and Foster have been injured too. That might explain the fact neither can move. I thought it was medically impossible for a living person to suffer from rigamortis but Simonsen seems to have managed it

Agree0 Disagree0

I was present at our scottish cup tie against raith rovers today and I'll be at our league game against hibs this friday night and I do really fear for us on friday, our caretaker manager kenny mcdowall must be put out his misery and put on gardening leave immediately as his style & tactics are identical to mccoist's and he doesn't get the best out of this set of players, give billy davies or stuart mccall the rangers managers job until the end of the season as a fresh approach with fresh ideas is exactly what these players now need, mcdowall just can't motivate them and if we don't change the direction now and appoint a new manager we've no chance of going up, we do have some decent players who should be winning this league!

09 Feb 2015 07:42:20
I don't think tactics are the main problem m8 I think these players are simply not good players, and aren't able to play above their level, (poor) n I don't think anyone can make them play any better, they are a disgrace to the club and need to be disposed of,, I think every other manager knows how bad rangers are and look forward to a game against us

Tommy the current team have as much interest in tic tacs as in tactics.
