i am sick and tired of hearing the gullible greatin faced people on here say give the board a chance give Wallace a chance. wake up and smell the roses ffs they have had a chance these guys are supposed to be bringing in investment to help take the club forward and from where i'm standing the investment brought in so far by them will not cover their ridiculous wages and bonuses.

Wallace and Sommers where brought in by the Easdales and Stockbridge who where brought in by Green, Margarita holdings blue pitch holdings etc etc all we have running our club are different puppets but the same puppet masters the very same people who have siphoned 70 million out of our club

if by some chance refusing to renew season tickets kills of our club then so be it I would rather a quick death than a long slow lingering death and that's what we will get if we don't starve this lot out.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Lochaberbear is spot on. Everyone who is buying tickets thinking they are supporting the club, are and have been for the last two years, financially supporting Whyte, Green, Stockbridge and every other conman thus helping them enhance their bank balances at expense of the club.

If someone conned you out of your money this openly in the real world away from Rangers, every single one of you would be fighting your corner and shouting it from the roof tops.

All financial markets go up and down based on fear and confidence and these people in charge of our club think that they can scare everyone into giving over their hard earned cash based on the fear of rangers going back into admin or liquidation and ultimately that's what the plan has been all along. Once the fans can no longer afford to keep putting their money into the club the money will be syphoned off, leaving the excuse for them to take out a substantial loan secured against the assets which will be impossible to be paid.

If you want to keep feeding these people its up to you but I for one won't buy a season ticket, strip or any other merchandise to see it go to boost their retirement plan.

Agree0 Disagree0

I does not matter what u think they own the club the only way to get rid is keep club ticking away until such times as they are minority shareholders

Agree0 Disagree0

You are wrong lbj d this mob will never let it get to the stage when they become minority share holders not while there is still some income for them to siphon of i. e season ticket money and as northger has stated once that disappears they will then sell of our assets ibrox albion car park etc etc.

once we have nothing of value left these nameless people will disappear into the sunset to find another fat bloated carcass to feed from why do you think they are so adamant that they remain faceless and why do you think they will not give security over any of our assets except to each other.

people have stated they will not renew their season ticket until the board goes well in my opinion its a waste of time I will not renew my season ticket until we have new owners.

and before the usual insults come pouring in accusing me of not being a real Rangers Fan I was a shareholder before admin which I lost i'm a shareholder now which i'm prepared to lose I have been a season ticket holder most of my adult life I have been unfortunate to have witnessed the lean year ( when Celtic won 9 in a row) but blessed to have witnessed the good times Barcalona 1972, 9 in a row etc etc) I have followed Rangers all over the world in our ventures into Europe all this has cost me tens of thousands of pounds over the years but I done this gladly and willingly to support my beloved Rangers I will not do it anymore to fed a bunch of parasites who could not give a jot about Rangers

Lochaberbear&northger, Both of you are so wrong. The truth is, you don't have clue how much Green&Co. have taken. In fact, nobody does but, at present, it is not the figures quoted.
The scam was to buy the assets as cheaply as they could and realise the benefits in various ways. Firstly, the penny shares are sold at market prices, thus reaping them a huge profit.
Secondly, inflated salaries and fees are paid, through the club accounts, thus securing further benefits. There are ways of drifting cash but, in my opinion, the main money is in the two areas quoted.
At this stage, the assets have hardly been touched, but to starve them of cash means that they will have no option but to utilise them.
Dave King is correct in trying to ring-fence Ibrox and Auchenhowie, but I really doubt the current methods are correct.
Look at the costs in the Dec. 13 review and seriously assess them. They actually tell us quite a bit. e. g. the player costs/turnover. Also tells us the dubious areas.

Agree0 Disagree0

@ 3 It would be folly for anybody to attack your post. Logic and passion are a powerful brew my friend. Your hurt and anger and feeling of hopelessness is shared by thousands of us. Good luck to you! and very well said!

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said lochabear.
The penny still has not dropped for many.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lochaberbear, my response was to your original post and northger. Re your comments in 3], I agree with you totally and my history of following our club is very, very similar. Where I disagree is how we get rid of them. At all costs we must protect Ibrox and Auchenhowie and I just feel that the not keeping the club going is playing right into their hands. Damage limitation, and in my opinion we must play them at their own game and buy ourselves time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billy b the only way unfortunetly is buy enough shares to gain control we have already had a half boiled attempt at this with the blue knights who also would not put there hands into there pockets as was said passion and logic can win through

Agree0 Disagree0

Lochaberbear I had 8 bonds the last time and lost £40k putting them in a minority woul not de to difficult there are shares for sale on the market every day it would not take a whole lot to give loyal bears 51% considering there are circa 30/35% in the hands of bears at the present mr letham has the option to turn his loan to shares a£!m loan woul today equate to 4million shares roughly and if king put his hand in his pocket coupled to what could be bought by others it would not take to long

Agree0 Disagree0

Lochaberbear most rangers supporters are with you on this one mate I've posted on here exactly what you say regarding shares these reptiles will never allow to many shares to be bought thus always having control these feckers do this kind of stuff for a living they know exactly what they are doing I hope every last one of them has a very painfull death

Agree0 Disagree0

They will allow us to buy the shares at a price and till every kinghead realses this the club slithers down the slippy slope to oblivion they have all the aces the way things are at the minute we are a busted flush

11 May 2014 10:10:08
well I have decided to renew the three juvenile tickets I have niece nephew and grandson because they love going on the bus and the day out and I would not like the present circumstances to rob them of there day out because hopefully take there kids but as far as my ticket goes I won't be renewing it but if macoist goes it will be renewed asap because I believe with a new coach and with a bit of chopping and changing of players we would have a team capable of getting back to the spl next year if they arelooking to replace macoist as I have posted he needs to go now so as the new man can sign his own players rather having to make do with macoists signings

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes lbj d, this is 'devil and deep blue sea' week.
My season ticket has also been re-newed, but will be used by a mate until McCoist goes.
I am all for giving Wallace a chance, but if King could come up with a mutually satisfactory deal, I would be content. My main concern is that we get a stable base and that means a radical overhaul, especially the footballing side. To do that, it would mean a total overhaul of the club's thinking, especially in the development of our young players and our scouting.
I think a King/Wallace pact would work and maybe, just maybe we could move forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wallace is nothing but a liar in my and lots of people's eyes, he has told lies since he walked through the door. he has had his chance, time to go liar

Agree0 Disagree0

I just wonder how the anti board mob are so blinkered. Waken up before it is too late.

Agree0 Disagree0

@3

You mean there are actually some fans who back the board?

Agree0 Disagree0

@3 I honestly can't believe that fans groups support a scheme that could seriously damage our financial position or worse, our existence, I know and understand WHY they are doing it but surely anyone who sits down and thinks of the consequences of their actions will see that the potential outcome does not support any gain.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mr spiv please go back to sleep the season hasnae stated yet

Agree0 Disagree0

Jyf I honestly believe the leaders of the fans groups have been put on promise land by d king and are in it for the glory they think they are a going to get but I am heartened the amount of posts against king are growing common sense may prevail yet

Agree0 Disagree0

Ab72 there are not many who back the board 100% but there are many who want to give wallace a chance and many more who don't support kings position at the minute

Agree0 Disagree0

@1, Billyb, do you really think Wallace cares if your mate uses your ticket till AM goes?!. jings man, he's just sitting in his office ticking off the gullible list. looks like he did you up like a kipper ( mind you your mate will be there all season, AM going nowhere)

Agree0 Disagree0

Ayr Bear, If McCoist is there, we won't last the season. I'd rather be a kipper than watch his pathetic attempts at managing the team. By the way, who said I paid for the ticket and maybe if things are sorted I'll be able to go back to the seat I have had for years. Will you?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ayr bear billb is entitled to what he wants wth his ticket if he bought his ticket and by choice does not use it what ever u think it is his choice

Agree0 Disagree0

Ibj k you said the same yesterday and today about dave king loosing support and I asked you yesterday and I will ask you again today where are you reading posts regarding dave king loosing support so as I can read them cause I only read about more people and fans backing him more

Agree0 Disagree0

I never said d king was losing support I said more people were questioning his motives etc which there is unless there is something wrong with my eyesight

Agree0 Disagree0

@10, apologies Billyb if any offence caused, none intended. As for your question of keeping my seat, no I won't be renewing because as I've said on here many times, the definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing year in, year out - and expect different results.

This is a board who took 120 days to admit squandering 70m over 2 years, and who had to get a loan to get us over the line this season.

Now, there is no 70m to play with anymore, and in my opinion, this is an unsustainable business (we don't have to be accountants to do simple arithmetic). Last year they were losing over 1m per month under their stewardship, this seasons opening balance wouldn't total those losses, even with 36,000 season ticket sales. In light of the above, do you think this board can manage the Club through another season?

Billyb, if your answer to the above question is "no", then I'm afraid whoever paid for your season book is only going to contribute to the pot for the new receivers to handle Admin 2.

On Saturday on live radio, former Rangers player Alex Rae confirmed he believed that this was the most likely scenario.

To put it bluntly, if there is no fresh investment, and from what we know about operating cost from published accounts, that needs to be around 10m, we cannot make it honourably to the end of next season.

Or do we limp to another enforced AGM and swallow more lies while the Easdales play fantasy football club with RFC?

Ask yourself this, is anyone, HAS anyone on this Rangers board got a single contact to raise a penny? Answer - No!, and yet fans continue with this admirable, but blind loyalty about not wanting to let the club die. It won't die, it just needs leadership.

Keeping rangers on a life support machine, overseen by Junior Doctors in the boardroom at best, is not the way forward - perhaps another cardiac arrest is required so we can get some senior, proven and qualified staff into the theatre.

Agree0 Disagree0

@ 14 There are some cracking posts this morning again well said- and your right. I had intended to renew but not go to games- but feck it your right. very well argued I'm convinced now Ayr Bear.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers Ayr Bear, no offence taken. A lot of your points I totally agree with but the method we are being misled with the £70m+ is wrong. In the December review £67.2m has been spent in total. [ circa £23m--assets etc. , £24m---central admin. etc. and £20m on playing costs. ] Accepting that we have playing costs, must have central admin. and buy the assets, just what has been overspent/fiddled? I guestimate, excluding playing costs, about £15m.
The bulk of the money made by Green & Co. is via the penny shares.
We, the fans, must come up with a method of co-ordinating our methods or our club is gone.

Agree0 Disagree0

@16. Thanks Billyb, and agree with your reasoning and suggestion. The big problem is, for me, the usual Rock and a Hard place scenario. but we still can't blank out the inadequacies of this board or the fact that 8m / 9m in revenue from 36k season books wouldn't get us far. I'm frustrated like you BB.

Agree0 Disagree0

Does not matter how u dress it knickers up or down at this minute in time they can muster the biggest % of shares and until that can be altered there isweet f a can be done they will dodge away til august with what sales there is strip money etc I know I go on about this we can say our great club this our great club that but the problem is it ain't its there's and never much we hate them they are far from persons and unless some sort of deal is done we ar farting against thunder and until we all get together we won't suceed in any attempts to dethrone them and until this gets through to everyone all we will do is argue on here

Agree0 Disagree0

Ibj d you are right in above post we will argue about the best way to remove this lot you and billyb say keep buying season books but the people on here against buying are looking at it like this as long as people keep going back keep puting money into the club these people will have no reason to leave as they are getting what they want for charliboy and the other faceless feckers our money

Agree0 Disagree0

Well ibj d where did you read recently about dave king being a negative move cause just like you I can read my spelling might not be up to much but I've not seen any recent bbad publicity about dave king so could you point me in the direction cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

The momentum is starting to grow another ex captain backs the cause. Big Lorenzo says he spilled blood for the Rangers cause.
But all he's seen for the last two years is people bleeding the club and the other day. Big Eck spoke out about this as well we need more of the legends to speak out for us come on guys it time to speak out.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Like all the others doing a lot of talking, tell them to buy shares and then their say will count for something. There are plenty of shares available at present [27-29pence]

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe amo and the rest of so called legends will return there ebt money and help the club out or even better get there pal king and gough to buy shares and stop shouting from the outside

Agree0 Disagree0

@2 Great post agree totally

Agree0 Disagree0

King and x captains with no financial stake who have in turn taken money from the club king £18m returned loan gough amuroso top wages and amurusos case e b t money who no doubt are described by the immortal words rangers men through and th for me the only way I would even think about there proposals would be if they put there hand in there pockets

Agree0 Disagree0

EBT? you boys need to think before posting EBT was used to boost players overall renumeration a court decided it was legal ok its going to appeal but it was unpaid payee that led to the club being liquidated so your comments are uneducated drivel buy a book.

Agree0 Disagree0

@ 5 okay I will go slowly so it is easier to understand.
DM set in motion the EBT scheme which was allegedly abused. It was legal at the time and would have been okay if the loans had been loans and were due to get paid back.
DM could not sell the club because of "the big tax case" which was HMRC trying to get millions of pounds of unpaid tax in their opinion.
DM/LLODYS sold the club to Craig Shyte for a £1 and he then was responsible for any tax deemed due after the tribunal declared it's ruling.
We were put into Admin by Shyte because he wanted Duff and Phellps to be the "friendly" administrators. HMRC who had applied to the court to put us into admin for non vat payment, non tax and insurance payment agreed to Duff and Phellps
However Shyte would never in a million years have been in charge of the company if it wasn't for the EBT scheme.
Now you know you don't need to buy a book or finish reading the one your on.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nbts, The EBT payments are dubious, but legal if the scheme is in order, This however was money being spent that we did not have. Regarding the HMRC debt that was run up during whyte's 'reign'. In my opinion, all part of the asset scam scheme.

Agree0 Disagree0

I did not say that I know it was the unpaid p a y e * (one e ) the unpaid p a y e in question was for the period of craig whytes tenure along with unpaid v a t the comment about the e b t money h m r c asked players involved if they would be willing to pay any of the money back and to a man they refused nbts that's educated drivel and yes it is subject to appeal but with olld co rangers not being represented can u give me an educated guess what the outcome will be

Agree0 Disagree0

I rest my case your honour

Agree0 Disagree0

Nbts I suggest u also by abook h m r c offered whyte several ways to make good the p a y e money whyte did not keep up his end of the bargain and that was why they would not let the club come out of administration and bt that h m r c knew rangers had won the tax case and did not want the shareholders of rangers to chase them for compo so a mixture of both sunk the club and the crazy aspect of it all was if the bank of scotland had let rangers trade away absolutely nothing would have happened but the murray administration paid all taxes and suppliers on time
