Been quiet of late because basically I'm a bit bored of the same chat over and over again.
Then suddenly out of nowhere one of the worlds most intelligent men appears with a back story as inspirational as one of those teary bits from X-Factor. Kieron Prior may very well turn out to be the real deal and I really hope he does. However, I'm a bit suspicious at the need for not one but two 'exclusives' in the Daily Rag in quick succession. A clever guy in a wheelchair who's fought against the odds to be successful. That's a nice way to balance a see saw with the Easedales on the other side isn't it.

Kind regards

I understand your wariness Baybear. We've been put through the ringer and only the most resilient (or beautifully naive) would have escaped the last 2 years without their optimism damaged. By all accounts though, this Prior guy is a good lad and pretty astute and after all the shenanigans I'm sure he realizes that all he needs to do to win the support over is give us the truth about what's going on at our club (we've been ready to hear it for a wee whily). Saying the directors are being overpaid is a perfect example, everybody knows it but it took this guy to come in from the outside and state the obvious. Let's see what else he's got. Duccablue

Your suspicious baybear? why is that, is it because a man from manchester from a traditional irish background claims to be a rangers fan. or is it a very intellgent man is pi$$ing up your leg and telling you it raining. The fact is there is nothing we can do about it. other than raise the millions required to take over the club our selfs. because at the end of the day anyone who can raise that sort of money can buy the club for good or bad. I WAS ALSO SURPRISED TO HERE THE BOARD ARE OVER PAYING THEMSELVES. who could have figured that one.

#2. Aye, doesn't take a 234 IQ (well according to the DR anyway) to work out that the board are overpaying themselves.

Just as a guy with my very much lower IQ can tell that Ally and his pals are being overpaid even more.

Hopefully Mr Prior isn't scared to point this out just because he has connections to Malcolm Murray. I'll take hard facts any time over Charles Green style baloney, and to the guy earlier asking about friendlies with Arsenal and LA Galaxy - I wouldn't get too excited if I was you.

Where do some of our fans come up with their ridiculous ideas? For weeks and months on here everyone has been moaning and complaining that the board are taking too much money out in salaries, they are all spivs etc - now this new guy buys some shares and echos these sentiments and suddenly he is in on it all? its an enigma wrapped up in a puzzle hidden inside a mystery! and to think we have a cheek to call our ugly sisters from across the city paranoid!

If goian is retiring why would we have to pay till end of contract? I wouldn't mind if they bothe stayed because we need to make sure our defense ain't keepin us in a game with the talent in our squad higher up we need to make sure were scoring a bucket load ever game! kum on ally

why do we not give stephen mcmanus a try captain of the people 3 in a row or even bring andy webster back since he's playin better than before

McManus is murder and Webster hasn't got it mentally to play infront of big crowds. No thanks to either.
Would take Wilson back, boca or goian if no one bids for them will do for me

I am assuming your on he wind up? Neither player would do at Ibrox McManus is a cart horse and Webster had a mental issue playing for Rangers

Kieran Prior all over the news criticizing Board salaries and bonuses. Particularly singling out Stockbridge as finance director.

Is this Stockbridge's way out? Green and Ahmad have gone, is this the start of Stockbridge's walk?
Is Prior linked to the recent Isle of Man guy who got over 700,000 shares from Green?

Again a Manchester finance link, same as Ahmad and Stockbridge. Don't think Prior, because he's in a wheelchair, cannot be a liar also. You succeed on the stock exchange by feign and deception.

Will Prior replace Stockbridge as FD? Before the damning accounts come out? Where's the £22m?

The guy is just stating facts. From boardroom to grass roots the wages are ridiculous. A second division club, losing money, should be cutting costs not increasing them. A finance director getting a bonus for the team winning the league? A third division manager on 750k per year? I do agree on the accounts though, something smells with them.

The question is why are all these investors interested in a club that is losing £1m/month? what are our actual assets other than ST money? Rangers seem like some shady "front" company for conmen, hopefully Mr Prior will be different and will run Rangers as a football club and start to rebuild our reputation.

Kieran would have to be a black sheep among his family and friends growing up if he did indeed support the Gers. They are all Celtic daft and I feel we need to be very wary here.

@ # 2, the reason there all interested in the club is because contrary to what you seem to think or read in the papers, we are not losing 1 million a month.

This number of losing 1 million came out when the last figures were released showing a deficit of 6 million. The reason a large bit of loss was due to not trading for a couple of months, buying back various properties and the paying off of old footballing debts.

So as said before the reason we have lots of investors circling our club is down to the fact they can see money making opportunities!

Prior friend of MM - so at last we see sensible concerns about costs.

Rangers need 2-3 years of solid financial preformance - balanced with some success on pitch to form platform to reform.

Green and his £500k bonus each year - its completly against any reform of Rangers fortunes - as by time Gers back in europe - Green will have pocketed £5m which is then crucial to entering CL.

Also Greens being caught on tape as Rangers CEO claiming UEFA corrupt - will haunt us for years.

@4 how do you know we are not losing a £million a month? The interim accounts showed we lost £5 million in the first 5 months in spite of the majority of the season ticket income. Where have the savings come, how much of the £22million from share issue is left? Why no audited accounts? If nothing else this new investor is asking the questions the majority of sensible bears are asking. We all hope there is no problem but come on let's see the audited accounts. let's see the actual position. I will renew my season ticket but I am worried

According to stv we can play trialists in 3 games prior to registering. 2 in any one game as the previous rule states.

There is also no limit on number of players over 21 anymore, or the number of players you can register in general.

Yet again bending the rules for your club and I bet you would say its all Celtic running the show and want you gone right? If it was Celtic running things you would have any special treatment and would be the same as any other club and just face the punishments. But that's not the case and you still think you are not being treated fairly

@1. Grow up you fool. We had no input in any discussions for new league or its rules. Your just another of them who hates the fact were still going. You wanted us dead and it never happened. Your hatred never died Just like the famous rangers of Glasgow. We are still the people.

@1 is relegated to the 3rd division not a punishment? Go back to your own page And stop obsessing, we know you are missing us, but it's becoming tedious now.

@1 note the site name rangers banter- are you lost? As a bear I have no interest in what's happening in the east end. Why the fixation with all things blue? Get a life

RFC were never relegated. That's a historical fact that can never be changed.

You should see them on LSE. CO. UK- share page. All new posters, and everyone of their comments about shares is on the RIFC page. They get everywhere, little vermin.

This is 1, I don't hate you as you may think so think you need to calm down a wee bit. I always wanted to see a match btw the two clubs yet sadly never will for your former legends which you blindly followed lead to your end. Have you not notice how many of you fans keep blaming Celtic and say they run everything on this page? It's not hate just trying to help you wake up already and look in the mirror

This whole business only brings me sadness right now. I can see no immediate relief. I've posted a number of posts asking bears not to renew sts. I now realise that that is asking the impossible. It goes so deep, it vibrates deep inside on match days and and can bring on so much happiness in me on otherwise s***ty days. So I've decided to be positive from now on, if the s***s going to happen then let it happen. I bought my st today and feel good.

Fingers crossed fellow bears. I'm ready for the roller coaster ahead. X {Ed002's Note - It was the bit that read "it vibrates deep inside" that I found disturbing.}

"it vibrates deep inside on match days and and can bring on so much happiness in me". Thought I was reading Fifty Shades of Grey there. lol Maybe Rangers and Ann Summers could do some sort of merchandising deal.

Lol Shuggy. Strange turn of phrase.

Shuggy,

FFS, stop it now, you have actually posted something remotely funny, enough now, or you will be getting a bad name.

I feel dirty just from reading that post, I'm away for a shower!

It seemed to read well when I wrote it last night. Too many beers I thinks. Lol. but made my mind up to renew season ticket.
