This maybe stupid but , when the season is finished would it be a good idea to raise money at the glasgow boyne and belfast boyne celebrations for rangers? atleast 100‘000+ at both of them, thought it was reasonable because that's when every rangers fan is basically out on force lol, mind just a suggestion lads and laddettes (if there. is any) ed? are they female gers fans on here? or has been?, stewie {Ed001's Note - no idea, I don't log the genders of the posters sorry.}

Your on the wrong site fella,try a dating site.

Youd be better dain a sponsored walk ,

Dear me,trying the bigot united card! what a disgrace.

How about we disown all that nonsense (Boyne celebrations!) & leave it in the 17th century where it belongs?

You state "that's when every Rangers fan is basically out in force"-well not me- I categorically inform you!

There must be better ways of raising funds than reverting to type- an affliction a minority (but still too many) of the fans suffer from!

Hopefully if/when Rangers secure new ownership, whoever that may be, they demand the support stop singing songs not relevant to football ie The Sash, Derry's Walls, Billy Boys... etc! Maybe we could sing about our heroes Greig, Baxter, Johnstone, Cooper, Ally, Laudrup, Gazza, Albertz, Naisy & many more(thers's hunners of them)

End of rant!

So your idea is not maybe stupid- it is stupid (sorry if I offend you) but we need to leave the past behind & rise from the ashes, renewed, reinvigorated & READY for the challenges ahead not go backwards. Thanks for listening(reading)

ThatsNotMyName

Cmon give him a chance he did not mean an orange walk he wants to do something to save his club i support celtic so i ask what would you do to save the club,still love our pope as much as they love there queen b

EVERY RANGERS FAN??

GET A grip man

Did i ask for cheek? naw don't thinkso so less ae it, and btw the celebration isny bigoted! everybody is welcome so who are the bigoted ones now! naepoint shootin me down dcos i did say if it was stupid! so come on then sherlocks wit ideas have you got! least av tried and that's notmyname maybe you haven't been to one to experience one minus the wee neddy kents! but there is rangers fans there that would dig in their pockets even motherwell fans go ro them! well just to let you know that every band sectarian to dhims are actually doin fundraisers here and across the province you all might shoot me down but majority of fans go to these, money to be made i think! guess what I'M sorry for offendin you lot, just a naw mate would have been fine, no an effin pointless rant or a bitter person from the other side! . they won't go away with a click of fingers so may aswell use it while its their bad idea or no! probs be better than craig whyte will ever do! oh btw RANT OVER! , Stewie

Stewie, did you make the original post? It was coherent, the response is barely intelligible. So everyone is welcome at a Boyne celebration, does that include the catholic community? By what I can deduce from your post you are from N.I. Can I pose a few questions to you?
Do you attend church regularly?
How is a celebration of the Boyne not sectarian?
Why do you support Rangers?
If the new owners of R.F.C declared that the songs I mentioned before(sash etc) were not welcome, would you still support the Rangers?
I would hope you would still support Rangers, without prejudice, cos we need it, just not from people who dwell in 17th century.
This time I don't care if I have offended you!
ThatsNotMyName

@stewie; all welcome except catholics eh? away back in time . it's the 21st century you mug.ed,i assume you dont realise what he's on about? {Ed001's Note - I gathered, but I thought it was about time this kind of thing was pointed out as ridiculous, rather than just ignored. Until people start realising that this sectarian nonsense should have been left behind hundreds of years ago and has no place in footie, we will never be rid of it.}

Seriously that should be in the dictionary btw, GET A GRIP MAN, a think you all need to, its reality, you make me laufh and you lot are apparently rangers fans tae, no wanty argue wse you but come on ye tryin tae prove somethin like, am a rangers fan but av never beento one? ......... chicken balls! don't try and kid yourselves on haha, aye a ain't stupid their will deffo people be out their thst is like thst but come on! a said majority of them b,ut tell ye wit since you can sit their and be like that then we can all agree on the one of the other posts, DO A SPONSORED WALK! god sake touchy subject or what! shouldn't have opened ma mind lol, listen guys a genuinly appologise but least its an idea ( STUPID ONE) a want to help my beloved team out and going to all lengths to do it shows how much respect you have for them even if it is a bad decsion such as my original post, but am been genuinely. truthful when a said their is money to be made, god sake some of ye are actin as if a said go to a UVF OR UDA or any of that pointless. sh!t to raise money, people forget majority of rangers is protestant which i suggested was a protestant heritage where majority of rangers fans go ( not fact) but i wouldn't be surprised, what i hste anout it most is when somethin like this is mentioned everybody automatically jumps on the bigotry, sectarian band wagon, when it isnt like that (sxcept of the minority fuds that make sectsrian remarks and give it a bad name) listen al just drop it k, ed can you take the posts off? think av started a wee debacle lol, stewie, sorry bud just want to correct my mistake.

Cmon sherlocks ??? coz thats the best idea ever ha an every1 isnt welcome at those things and for u to say it isnt bigoted please wake up an smell the coffee outrageous post


TB

Stewie, do you want all of that nonsense associated with your club? Whether or not you think it's bigoted, many people - Rangers fans included - think it's outdated, attracts bigots and has nothing to do with football. It's time Rangers totally disassociated itself from everything like that that has contributed to tarnishing the club's reputation in the past so it doesn't do so in the future.

1903

Fortunately or perhaps unfortunately it is not the religion that is the problem but the politics of the religion but football should bring people together no matter what but still be able to wind each other up and know the lines to cross but lets not kid ourselves it is onesided but rangers fans halve got to rise above it and hold our heads up high and beleive WE ARE THE PEOPLE BBBLUE

Unfortunately every orange walk ihave had the misfortune to see has quite a large following with rangers tops on , so as much as i disagree with his logic one thing is true there is a great tie between both parties , and that tells me you will never change and remember ibrox was used for orange events in the not too distant past ............ok murray stopped it but why cos it sure wasnt fan pressure maybe uefa ?????????

To thats not my name. Can I please inform you that catholics also celebrated the battle of the boyne as it freed them also from jameses rath

But that post i wrote has nothing to do with the band scene being involved with rangers, and catholics are welcome guys a good few of my mates are deep celtic fans.and they like to go for the fact the atmosphere they think its great, right ok IT IS STUPID i didn't think before a posted but the ones that aren't welcome are the ones that turn up just to cause bother! including our own! and yes i do go to church THAT'S what REAL orangemen do! its not the boyne celebrations thats bigoted it the vaginas at the side of the road that want to cause bother! for a fact ( i know) the individual lodges are working with the police every time the orange order are parading ( not illegal btw) we work with the police our own stewards stop people from walking any further. i.e if they are too drunk, trying to cause bother and basically giving us a bad name, which always seems to be the only time its on the news ( bad press) some of you think i may be bigoted but i am not i am stickin up for our institution and the decent catholics thst ARE their. and YES i will still support RANGERS (50 YEARS BTW) the songs like derrys walls and the sash etc are not rangers songs they are loyalist folk songs ( in some sense) that shouldn't associate with rangers and football! when i am at ibrox i don't sing them, i only sing the likes of blue sea of ibrox, 4 men had a dream, yes who ever it was is RIGHT, IMO all of the supporters groups should get together and try and think of new songs to sin such as for legends just RANGERS songs would be fine, right this was. i say, IF anybody did raise money from those parades not saying they would do, it will just have to be named anonymous because i do think rangers wouldn't even accept it if did say. LOYAL ORANGE ORDER OF SCOTLAND/IRELAND on it lol, all i am saying is that their is lots of ways to raise money but its looks impossibly realistic way to raise money ( wouldn't be allowed) like we do for HELP FOR HEROES, CANCER RESEARCH ,all of those major charities which we do, we are not a bad instituition or bad to the public, or our image. WHAT should be stopped is the WEARING OF RANGERS TOPS. likewise the CELTIC TOPS at republican marches cos as some said it doesn't associate with football, and everybody I APPOLOGISEA OK sorry if i offended anybody or touched a nerve. oh BTW AM FROM GLASGOW NOT N.I, stewie

09 Mar 2012 23:26:58
im in favour of the red and black campaign i also think it`ll be a symbol of fans unity not to let our club die and a statment to david murray and craig whyte on how the fans feel about them much the same as man u with their old green and yellow colours in ralation to the glaziers. while selling out ibrox for league games is important we also have an amazing game with ac milan glorie coming up and a chance to see our heros of yester year in action this is not only suporting 2 good charity cuases but also raising cash for the club theres still plenty tickets left and id urge all blue noses to snap up as many tickets as poss and make this game a sell out!!

Have you seen the windows at old tafford ? the glaziers did a fine job.

09 Mar 2012 23:01:10
Who would care if whittaker went? Since he signed big money contract he's been p!ish or injured. One good season and he thoughVgt he was Robertovarlos get rid would hav rather kept Wylde on 5-6 grand

What a great player VARLOS was.

09 Mar 2012 22:56:33
Next week , there is going to be more bad news and more revelations be warned

Oh aye...

And i think that a bit of bad news next week will be that PAYE & NI for last months wages is due to paid and its a cool £1m
and D&P said that there was a shortfall of £4.5m needed to keep club afloat till end of season .now if as they say the savings needed are set at roughly £1m a month from now till then .
March £1m April £1m May £1m
that still leaves a shortfall of £1.5m
D&P are at it and it dont look to good anymore does it

below is what i copied from Daily Mail 3rd march and what D&P told them

Following meetings with Rangers boss McCoist and PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart, Duff & Phelps released a statement that underlined the dire financial picture as they attempt to stave off liquidation.
‘In short, the Rangers business is trading at a substantial loss and we have no alternative but to fill an approximate £4.5m shortfall by the end of the season,’ said joint-administrator Paul Clark.
‘It is therefore imperative that we find savings of approximately £1m per month to ensure the ongoing viability of the business.

Aye and if it's not next week the following week dream on timmy.Feeling your fear already.

09 Mar 2012 22:41:27
Wonder if Celtic players were ever asked to take a pay cut if they would? I mean samaras has been robbing them for 4 years now, 25k a week, what is it 10 goals in 4 years?

What a ridiculous question.

Samaras aint on that mate.

Mute point, like so many you make dears. celtic are not in that position. taxes paid.

09 Mar 2012 22:39:58
Just wanna take my hat of to the man we call super ally, Sat on the bench when we were kids came of it and showed what he was made of. And to think the crap he is going through now and he still doesn't moan or complain what goes through it cos he loves us!

Shame he's a cack manager though.kinda spoils the love in dont you think?

Aye wit ever, wit other boy would be oot there still stickin Up fur us? Walter? Alex or big dick na SOOPER ally in his 1st season! Gits my backin Til we die

Till you die.next week then? end pf the month at best

09 Mar 2012 22:34:31
Www.redblackRangers.com

Buy a scarf and spread the word Bears. We are the poeple!

Keep on paying and paying and paying. i'm off to tesco tomorrow to pay twice for everything. why? cos i spend 2 hours a week in the damn place and they need more money. at least i eat.
what does 'we are the people' mean ? there appears to be no context. is it an answer to a question? did someone miss some words out and nobody remembers ? makes me imagine backing singers at the eurovision song contest somehow. guy at the front in a silver lurex suit singing some other meaningless drivel and the backing singers over his shoulder singing 'we are the people' in falsetto tones.

Aye and hail hail is a belter eh? fail fail sounds a lot better tbh

09 Mar 2012 22:29:55
just heard that the 10spl clubs have set up a meeting so they can decide who plays rangers next at ibrox even after the split the bottom six have expressed a wish to play them lolololololololololololololol

Will they have the time lollypop?!? I would have thought they would have been too busy discussing all the ways they're gonna f*** your mhanky mob six ways from Sunday with the change of voting structure.

Oh didnae realise that lols?!? that makes you and dipsh!t "we don't need Rangers.......erm wait a minute" liewell. Can't live with us, can't live without us lolly my bhoy! Anyway the latter is irrelevant, the former applies:

THE GAME IS OVER........THE RANGERS HAVE WON!!! :-D

What language is the post above?

The game is not over. It's not even half-time.

09 Mar 2012 22:18:50
right my opinion on deal with ticketus,is this to push takeover through one less creditor, 2. i dont think id actually mind them being there but what happens if ticketus has deals with other teams, seems weird they can be part of a football club if they loan to football clubs(conflict of interest). i know i want it over with but would rather it was done the right way, lets pay our way other than newco and get owners in who care and have buisness sense.
craig+babybear

Owners with business sense will want a newco.

You hit the nail on the head pay your way and you will get more respect,

09 Mar 2012 22:07:59
Just a few wee questions...
Read that Paul Murray and Ticketus
going to make a bid, is this not the
self same person who was on the
rowing club's board during all the
EBT's? would he not be banned from
serving on board of the rowing club
and are SPL looking to see if he is
"fit and proper"?
Also Ticketus are just trying to protect their
own monies, and one last wee question
how can anybody make a cash offer
when nobody knows how much is
needed as big tax case not issued its
findings yet... methinks some more
fairy tales coming out of the rowing
club..... Timalloy

You can't talk about taxman anymore timalloy so now you want a POP at a guy trying to take over the gers, why don't you just go away and talk about your own club, your on the verge of a treble and all you do is talk about rangers, one word for you timalloy PATHETIC.

Nervous Timalloy?

Uve got some good points mate But worry aboot ur own mob

Actually it's a quadruple. the three cups and the gers misery as a bonus. thats why.

09 Mar 2012 22:03:09
One bit of positive news for us and the timmy's are all over our pages s**tting themselves. We are nowhere near out of the woods but already the paranoia is ripping out of them!!!

If we get ourself out of this I can't be arsed with all their greetin!!

The Pilot!

Just hope we can pay a good bit of our debt pilot because we will never here the end of that,it will be their new "67 "
PaulRFC

Oh yeah Pontius really s**ttin ourselves that we're headin for the treble this year and by the look of things winning everything for years to come......Stevie

Best post so far
craig+babybear

Why would any1 be s';[tting themselves except rangers?

A your newco will be your new, well, newco.

I hope i never get 'good news' like rangers have had this year. you know the old one about waking up in hospital to be told that theres bad and good news ? bad news : you've lost both legs. good news : the guy in the next bed wants to buy your shoes.
its so true!

09 Mar 2012 21:25:02
Just been looking on the dhims rumours page and there's a lot of bitterness their. Sour grape flavour ice cream me thinks...W.A.T.P...billy the bear

What do we have to be bitter about haha we will celebrate at the least a doublethis year while u seemto be celebrating ur idols taking wage cuts then likely walking away for nowt in the summer and ur club being still in a perilous position i know which id rather be celebrating... get real

Oh silly billy.you are gonna look like such a fool when this unravels.what was the clauses in the players contracts to make them change their minds? have a guess

Bitterness no WE PAY AS WE GO b

Well done billy the bear, 3 bites with no bait, great fishing mate

Cheers m8 W.A.T.P.....billy the bear...

09 Mar 2012 21:12:54
STV reporting that Misha Sher, the London based Rangers Director of global partnerships for USA and Asia has been made redundant.

This is incredulous given we are being led to believe by D&P that offers from USA and Asia are coming in for the club. To let go the Asia and USA business director/ expert is illogical.

Are there really bids from these continents for Rangers? Press believe if u think do!

Smell the set up

And who said offers have came in for the USA and Asia.
The media

Misha mer?london based? come on get a grip here ... surely as wee syhte opened this london office not too long ago and admins have closed the office in last week its of no real loss? a might be way off the mark with these comments but i have never heard of misha mer or his connection with Rangers but if he has anything to do with whyte then good riddance

Wouldnt be illogical if he was high up the payroll, plus im sure the people talking /thinking about takeover have plenty of contacts abroad.
craig+babybear

Well spotted. that and more cash out the door

09 Mar 2012 20:51:06
Dunno about anyone else but I am really not keen on this blue knights idea now that it's confirmed that this ticketus group are part of the consortium! Sounds fishy n dodgy if ye ask me!

Rossi

White knights, blue knights, barron knights they still wont pay the money owed if there is a way to swindle thats the road you will go THE MIGHTY TAX DODGERS b

Dont think the adminstrators will allow that to happen and paul murray got rangers at heart.

Why would Paul Murray include ticketus in his consortium? They will (quite rightly) want their £24m back...but it doesnt make sense for Paul Murray to include them when he doesnt have to...and if the big tax bill hits then what?

He had them at heart under david murray but we now know everything wasnt legal or ethical during that spell

09 Mar 2012 20:43:56
Super ally should phone steven spielberg cos if we pull through this, it could be a box office hit lol, just picture it, film starts from the very beginning ( not the film btw lol ) as in the start of our great team, then goes through all the important points i.e bill struth, european cup BARCELONA 1972, then the gazza and albertz era ( beginning of the problems ) maybe cut out the uefa cup final or maybe not, then the present day ie administration and so on, then the BIG finish, back to the brilliant but legal ways lol......... end credits with follow follow playing haha, stewie

Or how about start with your riot in Barcelona in 72, while Celtic were doing nine in a row, then move onto your baron years between 79-85 when you won sweet FA, then onto the years you were spending outwith your means and winning tainted titles, then finish it off with the riot in Manchester then the admin story TBC..........Stevie

Your being unfair stevie. you forgot to credit the fairs cup riot in newcastle.

09 Mar 2012 20:34:47
Paul Murray's Blue Knights consortium are putting the finishing touches on a bid for Glasgow Rangers FC.This proposed bid will include supporters groups and Ticketus. Personally i hope this sparks somekind of bidding war for the club, as i dont belive that the blue knights takeover bid will provide the vast investment, and sustained investment that the club needs. Although i do believe we need rangers minded people at the helm, ultimatelyit will come down to the colour of money. Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions.

Thought they wanted to buy Rangers? Seems they want to buy another club with a different name...

I agree, I don't think that plan would raise enough investment, I would quite like Brian Kennedy sales sharks owner, worth around 400m. random bid from someone from abroad with outrageous money could happen but unlikely. The issue I have with kennedy is that he wants to own it 100%, no consortium or fan ownership model. Should be a very interesting few weeks!

rangers have sent out a clear message to all the clubs in the spl and in financial difficulty,if your club cant finish at least 10 points of second place then keep your tax money and go into admin, if it works for rangers it will work or your club b

Eh, they are still going to have to pay the PAYE money and are trying to strike a deal for the big tax case which incidentally they have not lost yet.

The Pilot!!

Sounds like someones upset.have some jelly and ice cream.lol
drumlad

HMRC will not strike deals after having fingers burned with Vodafone etc.

Pilot, why would someone be trying to strike a deal with HMRC over a case they haven't lost yet?

The case has not been decided yet and could go either way so it may be in the interest of both parties to come to some sort of "deal". HMRC can still refuse this but if they lose the case do they pursue it or not and has the costs been worth it?

The same goes for most car insurance injury claims, a settlement is agreed before it goes to court to save costs on both sides.

The Pilot!

09 Mar 2012 20:14:42
Paul Murray is finalising a deal for the club does any one no his personal wealth??

He is double the billionaire Craig Whyte is, he's got £2.

Not sure mate but he has a good reputation with the german banks and he helped halve our debt before.. wealth im not sure but thats why parks etc been mentioned because thats where the money is.
craig+babybear

So its not goodbye its auf wiedersehen.

09 Mar 2012 19:53:29
I am quite concerned by an answer given by the administrator in this evening's press conference, bearing in mind these guys are professionsals about being protective with information and very guarded in what they say.

He was asked whether Rangers would fulfill their remaining fixtures this season.

He replied that if the club were in administration they would.

I initially though that he was aluding that the club may be bought over before the end of the season and because they would be out of administration he was giving this answer.

However, if he was confident that the club would either remain in administration until the end of the season or be bought over before the end of the season, his answer should have been a straight forward "yes".

To say that if the club were in administration they would fuldill their fixtures, raises the serious question that he does believe that liquidation is still a serious possibility before the end of the season and he was giving this answer to cover his back.

It was also revealling that at the beginning of the press conference the words perilous condition were used to describe the clubs financial position.

Don't think the Administrator can rule out the L word.
The short term future to the end of the season looks secure and certainly a lot better than the open discussions about the L word.
There is still the unknown of the HMRC case, spl findings etc and the creditor situ.
Nobody really knows what the next few weeks will bring or even nxt week. So I think the Admin bloke is only doing his job with that part of the statement. - but with the players actions and takeover (s) being welcomed things look better, what do you think ED? {Ed001's Note - he has to be careful what he says, giving anything away could cause issues.}

You couldn't hear what he was saying for the press snarling every time he mentioned something positive about the club,he wasn't giving them the bad news that they craved, sad sorry lot.

Thanks Ed {Ed001's Note - you will never get a full answer out of an administrator, saying the wrong thing could cause mayhem. It could destroy confidence in the company or give a false idea that it is all sorted and employees become less keen to take pay cuts etc.}

09 Mar 2012 19:48:17
Glad the players took the cuts ..Although still no wiser whT is going to happen with tne club..I did not like the bit were he said still not in any position to go to any creditors.. If only this big tax case was known ..I see also ticetus making a few statements that they are still to get their money..did anyone hear speirs going on about Paul Murray..saying he would not buy the club two years ago because of the big tax case.so he is saying he is bluffing .just wish this thing was all over

Paul Murray is positioning himself to buy the club as part of a consortium after liquidation. Murray is just bullsh1tting when he says he wants to buy the club out if adminsitration.

Speirs I would listen to Gerry Adams before I would listen to him. GA tells less lies !

barra1591

Really...

For real tho...

09 Mar 2012 19:41:32
Great news today bears well done the players they will be remembered for saving the club today.I also see someone buying the club i don't care who it is as long as they have plenty of cash to blow Celtic out the water and leave them in the wilderness for years although we would probably do that with current squad
bears.i hear that some players have clauses included like if Craig whyte regains controll of the club they can leave,contract void we have no fear of this as the sleekit wee creep won't be allowed anywhere near our great club.

WE ARE THE PEOPLE

JACKO

Yes you will get money to blow celtic out the water but your club will always keep its new name THE MIGHTY TAX DODGERS b

Whacko Jacko back again with his ludicrous posts........Stevie

You would probably do that with the current squad? What happened this season?

Has b got a chip on his shoulder or a Stutter

Enough money to blow celtic out the water. Just like david murray did. U fool, u cant outspend because this is where it gets u.

09 Mar 2012 19:23:40
Press conference from administrators, confirm a large number of players took a 75% cut and others took cuts between 25-50%. All in place until end of season. Remaining games will be fulfilled and no job losses across the board. Deadline set for next week for interested parties to show their hands

I think you will find the picture has changed mate.no playing staff cuts and minimal staff cuts. wishart on clyde.

Are they allowed to take their gloves of?

09 Mar 2012 19:21:53
If we do survive maybe next season we can get back to talking about football, last season it was all about referees cheating Celtic and this season it is rangers cheating the taxman, maybe just maybe we could have a football talk season, cause I'm sick of all this football is meant to be about getting together with your mates on a sat and getting a few beers.

Most mates dont cheat and if they did wouldnt you not play with them until the play fairly...well until your club/fans change for the better for fair play maybe then football can take centre stage.

09 Mar 2012 19:10:50
should rangers supporters really trust administrators remember craig whyte arranged them to come in

If he didnt pint them - hmrc would have and we would have really been up sh1t creak. I think these guys have done a great job so far - albeit a long during the player talks.

ryanrfc

No really all that is happened today is the players taking the cuts which should have happened weeks ago..watched the conference there .nothing much to say .

Rangers are finished, theres no way back for them so stop kidding yourself,need to come out of this denial.

09 Mar 2012 18:40:36
BBC Scotland Sports online reporting several players still to sign up.

Actually D&P playing a blinder. Players threatened not to take wage drops, administrators went public threatened liquidation in days/ quick sale quoting players. Players caved in.

D&P getting several mOnths now at Ibrox.

D&p say there job it to cut 1 million a month,the players take a big hit on wages so the club can save i million a month then guess what there charges are a month yes you guessed 1million so how dose that help the club b

Apparently the Administrators dont get paid until the Admin process is ended. Admin cant approve their own payment. They present a figure at the end of the Admin to the creditors for either approval or to be negotiated.

09 Mar 2012 18:34:15
mark timy guidi on radio saying that despite many people interested in buying rangers, he says that rangers will still go into liquidation. this guy has nothing nice to say about the gers.

You want him to make something nice up?

Joeshmo1888

He is telling the truth. What do you want him to do, lie and tell you what you want to hear.

Any businessman wil not buy Rangers out of administration, they will start up a newco after liquidation.

No chance of liquidation, players have saved the club from that by agreeing deals that will buy time for new owners to come in. Hopefully some agreement came be made regarding the tax cases (i would like us to honour as much of it as possible) that would allow the new owners whoever they will be to work within a budget keeping us competative.

Dannager4life

Heres a good one now rangers will survivethe season out maybe they will win the league haha

You still need the creditors to agree to a cva or you will be liquidated.

He is a bitter celtic fan i worked at same place as his family member, just disregard what he spouts as he and many others in the second rate media have no access or connections to Rangers so just make it up to make a name for themselves.

Not this season, next!!

I hate to agree with the guy .but still don't see anyone buying club until the outcome of the big tax case .I was reading an article that the biggest witness for HMRC is
The main person from abroad that dealt with these payments

Buy a buisness that is A;heavily in debt. B;could face a very large tax bill. C;has to make payments worth hundreds of thousands to players for taking wage cuts. D;might not have a stadium to play in(litigation may take years). they must be lining up for this one in a million chance!

09 Mar 2012 18:27:03
Mr Shar of global partnerships has lost his job today .He was trying to promote the rangers brand in America and asia

What a great job he done eh?

09 Mar 2012 18:12:13
Have to say obviously as tim in banter over your bad times,i have to take my hat off and applaud players for taking a wage cut,the so called worlds best footballers wouldent do that,fair play to them

Lets be honest the cause of Rangers dreadful financial plight was David Murray's obsession with emulating the European cup success of Celtic. No matter what the outcome of the current situation surely rangers fans realise they will never be able to achieve this feat and win the big cup

Also, before Murray took over at Rangers, between 1965 and 1986, a period fo 21 years, Rangers only won the league on 3 occassions. Celtic won it 14 times.

Cant win the big cup no but Rangers & Celtic both know the Uefa cup Or Europa League is not a pipe dream! Champions league is all about the money for the old firm but usually enjoyable win lose or draw i just cant see Rangers making it to Europe for a few seasons now so good luck to Celtic and whoever the other Scottish teams might be hopefufully get the co-efficient up because Scottish Football
Has been on its arse for a number of years now and Rangers seem to only be making it worse right now. Lets hope the mess gets sorted out and we can see both top teams in Scotland fighting it out on the European stage again one day!
Larky Bear

Well said Larky Bear,a sensible post at last take a bow mate.

The bottom line is, as long as we beat Celtic and given we are the most successful team in the world we have achieved this... Despite the negative press, I can start to see our foes getting worried...the ice cream is melting, the jelly is starting to wobble, it's life, the strongest always comes through!

Doesn't jelly always wobble?

"the strongest always comes through" your right and that is Celtic, tainted titles dont make you most successful just a realy bad name. it is not negative press it is reality and fact, the sooner you wake up and stop thinking about beating Celtic your club could change. Celtic is not worried at all we will be making millions and winnig trophies while you fight to stay around. in hind sight you would be better off leaving cause you will lose all your hair from the party year after year as you watch

09 Mar 2012 17:26:12
better news for u all todaybut i dont think ur out of the woods as some posts would suggest a bit of time bought perhaps... hopefully more good news to come for use and maybe we will have to put the jelly and ice cream on ice for a while lol

mcgregor,davis,whittaker,and naismith show how much they want help the rangers, lets see how many more take the cuts. any news on the takeover anyone.

Is that why it took them a week?

Yup craig whyte bought rangers about a year ago.

FFS they have done it give them a break, there talking about there jobs and trying to secure Rangers future and look after themselves at the same time. You don't know what these players have interests in outside football or what there financial outgoings are.

09 Mar 2012 16:42:31
well done to all players and backroom staff for your comitment to the beloved gers you will not be forgotton simply the best

Oh we will see.if what i have heard is true they are hardly heroes.

Would u rather take a 75% wage cut or be made redundant?hardly heroic actions from overpaid superstars.

"Chaos at Rangers should not diminish scale of Celtic's achievements"
Headline From The Guardian
Utter Utter Urine
This must Make Watty akin to Jesus Christ for his achievements over the past 3 years.
We Shall Overcome Overtake and Overwhelm

Overcome, overtake and overwhelm......lol.Get a grip man. Glasgow Celtic, paying taxes and other clubs dues since 1888.

Joeshmo1888

Since 1888? oh that's when you paid backhanders to hibs players to leave their charity and come and play for you lot. What was it 5 or 7 players. Hibs left in the lurch after helping your lot out on numerous occaisions.
Buying success since 1888.
Now don't forget the 'estimated attendances' scam, dodging tax since the Kelly/White (must be something in the name!) dynasty began.

Ok guv it woz celtic wot dunnit. rangers are innocent. i'm glad you agree about success since 1888 though. as for the mad original post, listen mate, there is a warehouse in glasgow somewhere with 50,000 tophats with the number 10 on them. get one and put it on and just pretend.

09 Mar 2012 15:58:50
option 1 - but who wouldnt love for the messi types to grace ibrox in the royal blue - as long as they were paid for lol

Hasnt it been messy enough at ibrox the past few weeks?

09 Mar 2012 15:58:03
Some spin from the administrators with no substance, and all the Rangers supporters are on the glory train again. You bears are so easily gullible. Prepare for a very big fall because your club is still heading for liquidation. Nothing has changed to alter that.

U sound dissapointed pal hardly on glory trail we will be back so get it rite up u

09 Mar 2012 15:57:42
Just got a feeling that the tide is beginning to turn. For the first time a modicum of better news. Wouldn't it be great if smart ass whyte got landed with the £24m. That would put him in liquidation, can't get the smile off my face with that possibility. Heardfrom three different ppl that hmrc might be prepared for ten p in the pound. A bit of blue sky appearing me thinks.

HMRC have not agreed any deal. Get a life.

He didn't say they were, he said MIGHT, guess what mate you get a life and go back to school to learn how to read., stewie

Well I heard from this from an ex Celtic player. Did not say they had accepted, what I said was that heard a rumour. Perhaps if you could read you would understand. Get a life and enjoy it whilst you can, number 55 is round the corner

09 Mar 2012 15:44:35
I am a lifelong supporter who is now living abroad. I am frustrated that apart from my weekly six quid to rangers TV to watch the games on the internet and purchasing club merchandise, there is no other way that I can do my part the same as the guys who are turning out at Ibrox and supporting the club. I want to pay back for all the great times I have had supporting the gers and help the club in our hour of need. I am sure there are many others living or working abroad who feel the same way. Rather than making a pledge, can the rangers trust and supporters association not set up a fund where expats could give a weekly or monthly donation to the club and help out in any small way we can to keep the club going through these tough tough times.
I have posted on here before that selling the pitch to the fans the same as Chelsea did when they hit hard times a few years ago would be a good way to raise cash with the fans receiving a share of the pitch in return.

09 Mar 2012 15:36:46
Uefa Cheif states no Euro Extension for Rangers, Rangers have until March 31 to secure a licence to play in Europe next year, something the administrator admits is a very unlikely prospect, but they will appeal to the Scottish FA for an extended deadline. UEFA events chief executive David Taylor, however, said: "They have to make the deadline. There will be no extensions.

"It's a great shame that such a major football club and a major Scottish institution is in such disarray at the moment.

"A club that has that massive level of support shouldn't be in the financial position that it's in just now."

09 Mar 2012 15:33:51
Timalloy were is your daily tax joke today? Ha.

I think the ice cream has melted and the jelly has failed to set. All seems very quiet from the green and grey mhanks!!

Would not count your chickens yet, but if the HMRC do some kind of deal it won’t erase the shame and embarrassment any right minded person would feel about what is in effect theft

Lets not get to far of ourselves just yet.

Why not use Ibrox for public floggings & beatings just like Saddam Hussein used to do with his football stadium?

It's on a first come first served pay at the gate basis and the the first people on show will be Craig Whyte & SDM.

I bet we will never have money worries again!!

The proof of why Scotland need BOTH old firm strong will come when motherwell or whoever finishes the highest and gets our champions league place,then we will see what the next best can do for our standings.
PaulRFC

I agree Paul we do need two strong old firm teams, but we need the oyher teams stronger as well to provide competiton to the big two, hence I would give a bigger share of the tv money.

Paul RFC - and how did the mighty Rangers do in two European competitions this season?

When rangers win 9 in a row Celtic weren't strong.

The clubs who appear most on the box and generate the interest or viewing figures the tv companys pay for should take the biggest slice of the pie otherwise all clubs should be allowed to negotiate their own deals.All clubs outwith the old firm would not take this though as the big 2 would basically be the only clubs benifitting as their brand is the most appealing and the revenues they could create would make them even more dominant.

How have the mighty Celtic done in the last few year? An no doubt you'll embarrass yourself next time round aswell
PaulRFC

My DADS bigger than yours FFS guys lol

@Paul rfc;lets see how you do in europe this year...oh thats right...sorry. A Tim.

In regard to duff n phelps saying whyte wont profit,
Please cast your mind to admin first press conferance,asked who own ibrox n murray park etc is it in a company that is not in adminasration,Yes said mr whithouse,shh said paul clark,and whitehouse went on to say assets wete owned by a parent company of whytes,fact words out horses mouth,which you can still view,my question being it is not possibale for whyte not to gain as his other company owns the clubs assets,so duff n phelps doing a job on u all before you disagree watch the first press conferance,RANGERS FC DO NOT OWN IBROX ITS WHYTE,GET THE WOOL OFF & ASK QUESTIONS

pasted from the Celtic pages

Amazing what a funny handshake can do! {Ed001's Note - actually it is standard practice in a case of unmanageable debt to make a deal.}


check out my earlier post where i said it wont take them long to accuse the taxman of being a Mason also on there their is a young lady (i will assume she is young and a lady) saying the establishment is up to something didnt take long for the paranoia to surface

If there's that many rangers minded fans with money ie king,Murray,park etc why don't they just hand the cash over and take everything on ie debt,tax case etc exactly there's no such thing as a rangers or Celtic business man there just business men who are in it for the money!why do you think they've got money in the 1st place?not buy throwing it at any old business!hail hail rusty the business man tim

Tell me how many epl clubs are debt free and are making money no one in their right minds buys into football to make money not nowadays people usually by in because they are rich bored and they have nowt else to do with their cash


wounded bear

Just a wee point tax case no verdict yet 2nd point tax man does not do deals fact who do u think put u in addmin for the 9 to 15 u owe them for this season u will be hit with full amount otherwise it would just say 2 other teams dont pay taxes and we will just take 10p in the pound when wee catch u

This site makes me p@@@ myself no 1 really wanted 2 buy the club when white bought them from pound sh@p now we r to beleave people r falling over themselves 2 pay 30 40 or 50mill for the club wake up as for the tax case taxman does not do deals if he did it would leave the door open for other teams to do the samethat is why he wont do a deal fact fact

Fact taxman done deal with Arsenal,Vodaphone,Goldman Sachs and tens of thousands of ordinary people who claimed tax credit and were overpaid.

do some research before coming on here and spouting rubbish you are less likely to make a fool out of yourself

Wounded Bear

And the government was unhappy with the response to these deals so HMRC will no longer be doing such deals.

Do some research etc.

Big talk, lol.

The reality is that your club will end soon.

What have any of the above done to your club please tell me and then explain.
Cant yous take the blame forr anything yous or your club do, your narcissitic world view is really incredible.

As ive stated before if i seen someone being run over i would try help them if this was not possible i would leave them be ie stay out of the way i would never run over and put the boot in this is what these people have done they have seen us hanging by our fingertips and decided to jump on our hands if you look at my post you will see i never mentioned celtic as when it comes to the OF no quarter given and none asked for Christ sake rangers are not even dead yet and they are having meeting in secret to try and overthrow celtic this lot want the OF to pay dearly for decades of dominance.

Wounded Bear

Why should fans take blame for what owners do get a life.

09 Mar 2012 13:25:55
firstly - season books will not be voided.
And why should the hard up fan who has a family pay twice? should his kids go hungry? priorities! I will never be accused of not loving rangers.

Secondly today rangers fans have got some positive news in the media outlets after months of of relentless hounding, So what if we are positive about it!

09 Mar 2012 12:50:26
Rusty the tim' right rangers fans come off your high horses and look at the situation thru a normal pair of glasses. The players are taking a wage cut to keep the club alive until the end of the season,thats how grim it is.the end of the season is what I would be worrying about, ie what's in the players contract,any release closes etc I would be worried. No player would take that cut unless they'll get it back in another way!would all of use take that sort of cut for a crook!!don't think so.on the sale of the club now.where were these people last year and the year before??? There business men so unless they make money from it forget it.liquidation is the only way they will make money ie no debt,negotiate wages on there terms... It doesn't look to good after all does it. Hail hail rusty the tim

Breaks your baws that when it comes to it THERE is real rangers men there to save us unlike in 94 guy in bunnet an all that, becomes a hero a decade after he leaves ( is forced out) there were no "Celtic class" guys to save you lot was there mate? Wee fragal eh ? Fair play to the wee chap buy the way

Ha ha rusty the dhim!. Whats wrong did you spend all your giro on jelly and ice cream. We bears all know its not all over.all we know is that after weeks off bad news there seems to be a light at the end off the tunnel,eg players agreeing cuts, possible deal with hmrc and interested buyers. The biggest,most pleasing news for me is that there is a chance that wee weasel faced b@wbag craig whyte might not get any money out off our club. W.A.T.P. billy the bear.

Did you read what I wrote!honestly people like you give rangers a bad name!!I said business men only come in to make money. Is that not what the wee guy said from day 1.I'm here for so long to make so much!!football players will only look after themselves as well either by there wage or the small print in there contract!1 word sums you up!! Fud!hail hail rusty the tim

I hope you do come out the other side as Rangers F.C I dont want you to go out of business. The reason why I dont want this is because I want the SPL, SFA and UEFA to investigate you for what you have done over the decades. All will become clear and then we will see how much of a club is left.

I want you punished for all the corrupt deals, back handers, non payments to clubs and HMRC that has gone on over the years.

Ian(54 and subtracting)

09 Mar 2012 12:33:53
Good news that a deal has been struck with the administrators to implement a substantial wage cut. Also good news too about the likelihood of more than one potential bid for Rangers. Isn't it interesting how many people (Daily Record, SFA, Celtic and others) are almost willing Rangers to go out of existence? Yet Rangers are the world's most successful football club and have brought great honour and pride to Scottish football. The best thing we can do is be bought by a genuine new owner or owners - so much for the so-called Rangers-minded people like Bain, King and Johnston who are all now putting the boot in big style. Give us a season to get back on track and Rangers will be back winning honours again, and maybe even make a real go of European football. WATP.

What a load of cobblers! Last week king and johnson were heroes for speaking out about whyte now there out!honour and pride? you were a disgrace and a shame till you signed mo johnston.Euro football? lets see what the end of the season brings eh.i think there might be a few more twists in this tale.

09 Mar 2012 12:21:00
Former Rangers midfielder Jorg Albertz has slammed claims that players were given under-the-table contracts and vowed to show the SPL all of his paperwork from his time at Ibrox. (The Star)

is this when all the old players come out and insist there was no second contract..

and will show the sfa/spl only the same contract they have on records. effectively stopping any investigation proving anything under hand happened,

as surely they will need documented proof of a second contract.. and if they aint handed over by rangers or by the questioned players. it will become impossible to prove that any extra payment as on a contractual basis.

In these days of greed huge banker bonuses and corporate fraud chasing the fast buck.How humblying to see football players from our club thinking about other people and agreeing a massive 75% pay cut. I now wait with baited breath for the wee liar to do the decent thing.

Celebrate when the facts surrounding the deal comes out.Remember it,s agents that are involved here.

They have been negoiating for over a week but take original offer of 75% CUT, not very heroic. Also does not cover the million a month

09 Mar 2012 10:12:26
Why all of a sudden are rangers fans believing the red top rags? After all it was these same papers claiming the Whyte knight had arrived with a warchest and who done no digging whatsoever on this mans background. Soon as they print more positive trash talk you are all ready to believe every word, waken up. Tax rates are fixed and th taxman has winding up orders at the ready for port vale and Portsmouth who,combined, owe less than 10% of the amount you are currently liable for. Then the big tax case to be considered too. Craig Whyte has played this game before and I can assure you he has played it outwith a moral code but within the law, guarantee it. He is not a silly man, and the new pay deal doesn't change too much.

Jamie Mac(loves rangers fans willingness to believe anything)

Jamie Mac (loves thinking about rangers more than his own team)

The same reasons that Celtic fans have been believing anything negative about our club in the papers over last few months have been true.

BFH

We would rather read them than read your hate filled nonsense .Jealousy and envy all the way with your crew , the good news is we have several groups interested, not as interested as Celtic supporters who have bombarded this site with nasty rabid bile offending decent football fans all over the world , we have had sympathetic notes from decent people who cannot understand the offensive viewpoints put forward by so called Celtic fans , I'm sure it's only a minority but they do lshow your club up in a bad light .

You got a point there mate but can i ask you why all of a sudden every celtic fan refuses to believe the red tops when they say something that shows a positive outcome for rangers but prior to this they quoted them like they were one of the ten commandments written by god. i just cant wait to see the the post if the taxman has indeed agreed a deal. he will be accused of being a mason/orangeman etc these are just a few of the names that are printable


Wounded Bear

Yeah celtic fans disgrace themselves by wanting the full punishment of the law against tax dodging

You think some of the stuff on here is bad, you should some of the rabid bile poured out from certain quarters in the Daily Record. Its got to the stage there are no replies from Rangers fans to any of the articles, just hoards of celtic & fans of the other clubs in Scotland who have been happy enough to take our money over the years.

Now I am the first to admit there is serious wrongs to be righted by RFC, but as fans who had nothing to do with the financial side wrongdoings, (most of which is yet to be proved).

If we say anything the standard reply, is "youse did it to us in the 90's". Now in the 90's I agree there was a lot of flak heading celtics way, most of it from the red-tops, but given the development of the internet only came about in the mid 90's there is no way they took the same amount of bile that we are taking just now!

A hint of irony in a Rangers fan complaining about rabid bile? As a non-Old Firm fan, I think that rabid bile has spewed out of some fan of both clubs for as long as I can remember.

does anyone else find it a bit strange that it takes stuart regan and his sfa almost 10 months to figure out cw is not a fit person, when it only took allistair johnston, john greig, john mclleland and of course the bbc a couple of weeks to suss him out?

Considering the SFA are a shambles of an organisation, it really doesn't surprise me. What do they actually do?

Things looking a bit better if all is to be believed in the rags. Lets hope this mess gets sorted and we can put Whytes nine months behind us. Our season is over but I would like us to get some result against the green and grey mhanks and stuff the jelly and ice cream right up their a**e

So all through this the tabloids were lying scum but now they tell the truth? you people need a reality check,have you learned nothing?

It was the early kick off to blame last week!!

09 Mar 2012 09:40:17
Rangers takeover will fail with the club stating that HMRC were NOT willing to make a deal to pay the bill over an extended period of time. David Murray will also take the blame as Paul Murray's takeover condition was that SDM footed the big tax bill.

Pay cuts today by big players will be in vain as redundancies will happen and the club ultimately wil be liquidated.

I bet your just a fookin' BUNDLE o' joy in the morning!

09 Mar 2012 09:06:39
Ive heard theres a historic link between Wh**e and SDM about to be exposed. Idea was to finish Rangers and get into English lower league by purchasing a club down there and changing its name to Rangers and moving their ground to Ibrox. Anyone remember someone down south registered several company names with RANGERS links? Could SDM have had a grand plan thats dramatically backfired?

Good to see so many "LOYAL" season ticket holders on here!

Option 1 : Dig a little deeper and SUPPORT your team

Option 2 : Watch the Club die and then sit back and say "why didnt anyone do anything to save us?"

I cant really afford to pay again ... but if it keeps Rangers alive .. I will !

I hope you'll be happy then if LOYAL fans pay again and their kids go hungry.

People that can't afford to dig deeper after PAYING there season ticket are any less loyal are they ?? Away back to the circus ya clown !

Your priorities are all over the place mate.

The confidence Duff & Phelps portray of a deal with HMRC is a tad confusing when its known that HMRC are laying claim to the money in the collyer bristow account. Did I not read in the press that Rangers needed this money to fulfil their fixture list and prevent liquidation?

Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker, thank you. True blues!

Took them long enough.

Sir Alex Ferguson is the latest big name to give his backing to the SaveRangers campaign. Earlier this week the Manchester United Manager and former Rangers player wrote to the Rangers Supporters Trust (RST) wishing it all the best with the SaveRangers campaign and sympathising with the club in its current plight.

In his letter to the RST he said:

Having been born within one mile of Ibrox Stadium and grew up supporting Rangers, and had the pleasure of playing for them, I hope that the future of this great Club is made secure. No matter whether you supported them or not, no one can dispute their place in Scottish Football history.

It makes depressing reading of their current situation and I fear not only for the supporters but for those loyal staff members whose lives are embedded in the fabric of the club.

Ally McCoist and his staff have done a marvelous job in continuing under such pressure and other staff like Sandy Sardine who work tirelessly to maintain the Club’s prominence.

I wish Rangers Football Club all the good luck in the coming weeks and sincerely hope a resolution is found.

Any pledge with that ?

This is getting really boring now. If rfc was an animal, it would have been put down to stop suffering from a slow painful death. Bit no, not rfc, & you lot are latching on to any ridiculous idea of a stay of execution. At least have some dignity, & stop making complete fools of yourselves. You WILL be liquidated, & ibrox will be sold, but then you'will reinvent yourselves. The only question is where, the possibility of a 50 point deduction penalty for "illegal" signings will result in relegation, failure to complete the rest of the season will result in expulsion. Can it get any worse? Well im afraid it does.....The juniors league is full. But u will be able to book a pitch at "GOALS", though u do have to pay before u play
JGG

You really are a bitter little troll. I actually pity you, being so consumed with rage and hate must be an awful burden to bear.

IF gers are liquidated and newco GRFC or whatever are no given admission to the spl by the six small minds that constitute the spl board, the sfl will obviously be a team short and will take applications. I might actually prefer that to be honest, certainly than being readmitted to the spl with onerous penalties for the next umpteen years which in and of themselves shall make a mockery of "sporting integrity" ironically enough.

THESE WILL ALWAYS BE A RANGERS SO GET OVER IT YOU SAD LITTLE MAN. :-D

Yip well said each day i wake up and read the stuff on here its like reading stuff out a comic book now we have 7 partys wanting 2 buy rankers now lets go back a wee bit white got the club out the pound shop now u want us 2 beleave that lots of people now want 2 buy the club for 30 40 or 50 mil when they could have had it for a pound at start of season plus pay a 50mil tax debt that will come in then spend about the same 2 sort team out wake up stop dreaming

7 different bidders interested in buying rangers including 2 from the usa and 1 from the far east. Any ideas who these might be ed?. Billy the bear. {Ed001's Note - I don't know right now, this would be more of Ed002's area of expertise, I will ask her to see what she can come up with.}

Cheers ed. billy the bear. {Ed001's Note - I have left a note to ask her, I will pass on or she will come on and say for herself any info.}

So rangers were sold for a pound and whyte was the only man stupid enough to buy rangers for a pound(the only man who would step up they tell us)....now a newspaper would have us believe that there are 7 new bidders climbing over each other to buy rangers, but not for a pound....but for 20 million?40 million?80 million?who knows how much is needed to buy rangers?they wont get it for a pound this time around...why didnt the so called 7 bid a year ago and save themselves a lot of money?
