Savage yesterday tweeting “Spoke to Charles green again yesterday ! Could I ?”. This was soon followed by a message reading “I’ll be speaking in the morning to ally (McCoist) tweeps !”.

Carling1873 {Ed039's Note - Bollocks, he is at the wind up)

No he's not.

Roberta The Savage would look fab in his spangly wee dress runnin' aroon D3 in the depths of a bitter Scottish winter!
Oh how you all make me laugh.
Oh and by the way....the jelly and ice cream ain't finished yet, me laddies! lol

Give a young boy a chance , somebody

we do not need tv pundit on an ego trip


bear in the bay {Ed039's Note - Who is entertaining him? There no chance he will be playing football next season)

01 Aug 2012 16:46:36
Bears - do yourselves a favour when someone from the club makes a statement, go to the website and listen to the statement, dont read a newspaper headline and a description what was said as very often the newspapers do not reflect the tone or content of the actual statement and jump on to one or two words to make a sensational headline.

JG

Thats a nice idea JG, but have you been on the rangers website - it seriously sucks.

@1 - it has been revamped and has improved, also all statements are shown on video as actually spoken and not a journalist's interpretation of what was said

really worried aboot awe these £7k a week deals we're handing out.
Can we really afford them?
Who's identifying these targes since wir chief scout and saviour in waiting "Bomber" has resigned?
I hope it's no Ally 'cos he's no got a very good track record!
Remember Celik and MacKay? {Ed039's Note - Neil Murray is cheif scout)

Have not seen confirmation of any wages yet. {Ed039's Note - Shiels is thought to have signed a deal worth £7k a week)

Why does it look like Ally is not picking any of these players? Why so many who are outwith Scottish Football and know nothing of the division or type of football that will have to be played? Green etc appear to be going over the top signing players for the sake of signing? WHY? This is a very strange thing to do especially as he has not got the funds at present or(backers) and will have to depend on the season ticket money alone? He wants our money from tickets to pay this new wage bill ? and this money will not last long at the present rates of pay of players £3000 to at least £10,000 counting players still on old contracts ?which makes our wage bill at present not counting other staff at Ibrox & Murray Park, plus managers and his team and also the new Directors.? there must be presently around £7000,000 to over £1,000,000 being spent on a weekly basis? Prehaps more if going on old figure of Duff and Phelps which showed over £2,000,000 being spent per month? Not being funny we can not presently afford this kind of expenditure? waken up Bears this is going same way as before but a lot quicker, we are going to rob Peter to pay Paul (or Green & backers). He will make the Glaziers in charge at Manchester look like bloody saints. Keep your money from him your paying his bills at present.

@2

who exactly has been outwith Scottish football so far?

Black, Shiels, Beattie or Kyle lol

Kafes and Ionescu are the only 2, hardly "so many"

SEASON TICKET PAYMENT OPTIONS

Fans can choose to pay by:

• Cash
• Cheque
• Debit/Credit card in either one instalment or spread over 4 monthly instalments. If paying by instalments the first of these will be taken on or around Tuesday 7 August, with subsequent payments being taken on or around 31 August, 28 September and 31 October

So what about direct debit?

Monthly installment by debit card is direct debit I think {Ed039's Note - No its not, its different)

I am going for option 4 keeping my money in my pocket. 4th tier Scottish football you having a laugh.

@2 thats your right to choose, but do us all a favour and dont try to sneak back when we are at the top again, you will not be missed

When I was a young rangers fan the talent was home grown or bought from lower leagues (Ritchie shearer callow et al). In the last 20 years we have neglected tis source in favour of foreign mercenaries. We now have a real opportunity to create an academy that will attract the very best of Scottish youth with the promise that if good enough they will get a chance of first team football. We should make clear our ambition to win the SPL within 5 years with a Scottish squad.

Wasn't that what Murray Park was supposed to do already?

Although Im English it would fill me with pride if all Scots made up the first team. I may not live there anymore but Scotland deserves better than the recent farce's and I hope we improve Scottish football from here on in. CheltBlue

Butcher, Gazza, Spackman, Woods, Boumsong, Boli, Hurley, Sterland, the De Boers, Flo, Lowenkrands, Van Vossen - all good Scottish lads you brought through. Yep a return to those days eh ? {Ed039's Note - All guys from the last 20 years, merceneries the OP calls them, read the post before you let your belly rumble)

Mercenaries ? I bet you werent saying that at the time...they were all seen as good Rangers men who played for the jersey.

01 Aug 2012 12:42:53
is there new season ticket forms being sent out ?

People will start receiving them from today. The renewal deadline is Tuesday, you can renew in person at the ticket office, online, or by returning the form. I renewed today and was in a call queue for 20 minutes so I assume they are quite busy with renewals.

GovanFR

@1: is it a premium rate number? If so, that might be why you were kept waiting...

Aberdeen 12 2 48
Motherwell 12 -2 44
Dundee United 8 -4 38
Rangers 0 -114 0

What a difference for Dunfermline.

Likewise Celtic should be given a 3-0 loss when they were using EBTs to pay Juninho. That season did look like;

Champions Rangers 93pts
CL Spot Celtic 92
Uefa Cup Hibs 61
No Europe Aberdeen
Relegated Dundee 33pts

So give Celtic a 3-0 every game and Dundee wouldn't have been relegated and another team would have gained a European place.

I made an arse of that LOL

Have you even looked at what you have posted or did you copy and paste it? In your second table Celtic have still played 38 games (the only team to have done so?) and have gained an extra 17 points (I thought it was three points per game - 3*4=12 so how do you gain seventeen points when Celtic didn't even lose all the games against Rangers that season?). What a difference for Dunfermline indeed! Four three nil wins have gained them 26 points by your logic! Dundee Utd appear to have done alright though as 38 points is a pretty good return for only having played eight games. The final positions may actually be accurate when everything is worked out but nothing else within this post is.

Brian

You really have too much time on your hands you sad we excuse for a human being!

What a load of tosh
how can celtic gain 17 points never mind any other team

Away and get a life, did you once support dunfermline and now a septic supporter?

What a sad life you have, : ( how long did that take to work out and who helped you with the arithmetic

JG

Celtic looked into ebt for juninho but changed there mind cause they know it was wrong do some research before posting p1sh {Ed039's Note - They didnt change their mind, they actually paid him it but declared it and paid tax, they obviously had some sound financial advise and not a part-time porn star/tax "expert")

Yes doctor John probably got them sound tax advice.

does anyone actuall stop to think that the money going out on contracts to spl players mite be coming out of charles greens consurtiums pocket paying for it themsevlves so it gets us up the divisions at first time of asking remember we half a transfer ban coming so wee need quality players not rubbish

WE are paying // the money he has pulled in form Season tickets doing funding as for rest we will have to wait and see what happens prehaps ,,,,,,admin again the way he is going.

I thought with the fair play rules you can only spend what you make

I've been waiting for someone to point this out. Once the novelty wears off Ibrox is going to be empty. Admin here we come again

Great news sky do a deal with scottish football. Now remember scottish football not s p l not rangers or celtic so why cant everyone just be happy that games shall be on tv as times are very hard and lots of us have not got money to go to games week in week out. I was glad to see rangers back on tv and thought good thats it football again and not all this what you called or what about your history rubbish, rangers shall always be rangers celtic shall always be celtic and airdrie are still airdrie. So lets get talking football banter now. I cant wait for 2 old firm games first one league cup second one scottish cup 2 square balls already in the hat for sky doing a deal?

Airdrie are Airdrie UTD now.

I can fully understand the point about not losing the history.

Whatever happens supporters will always regard the history as permanent.

One aspect of history that I hope we can forget is the bigotry (wherever it comes from) and the threats by some idiotic supporters of revenge.

Our team has been through hell so let's get back to the top in a dignified manneer for the sake of the game and our country's reputation.

Gers youth got a run out tonight at beith juniors, kal Naismith full game, wee Crawford seemingly had a great game too.

Don't know the scorers though??

How do you know who had a good game but dont know the score?

What was the score?

3-0 to gers

Pmsl, yous lot are so laughable.
Finbar {Ed039's Note - Whats so funny?)

3-0 rangers. On the beith website but not letting me read the match report:s

It was 3-0 i was at it

31 Jul 2012 21:29:16
Is anyone else concerned at the size of the contracts being handed out its financial suicide all over again. Even with 35-40,000 season tickets at the reduced prices with next too no prize or tv money and undoubtley a reduction in sponsor/corporote monies the club would struggle to cover its operating costs even if all players played for nothing add to that the taking on of the old football debts plus the fact the 5.5 million initial outlay was a loan its clear massive debts are being run up. I think bill millers' projection was a ten million loss for each of the first 3 years(looks optimistic although he may have been more cautious) i can only assume green is banking on the share issue raising upwards of 50million to keep things afloat for 2-3 years still seems very risky and will make the share issue a do or die strategy. Hope everyone is saving up!

First considered post on here in a while. Bears need to tighten their belts and buckle down for a long haul. Rome wasn't built in a day. You need strong foundations built over seasons or it's another house of cards on the way. Good luck , work your way back into the SPL and let's put all this behind us. Hail hail joe

No idea how 35- 40k season tickets would "not cover operating costs". Sounds like complete rubbish.

Has administration written all over it.

This is the only strategy that will put us back on our feet. A short time ago, Dave King said that this was the only possible scenario to move forward. Hopefully Charles Green has the funding and then we[ the fans.] will have the opportunity to buy in to our club and erase the damage done by murray and whyte.

Our wage bill is tiny compared to previous years. The TV money is irrelevant to us, season tickets are our main source of income and we will have 40,000 sold. Also all other revenue streams such as catering and merchandise is now back with he club after all contracts were void with liquidation.

J

Signings will be frees or loans and we won't be spending at all for another 12 months at least.
stay calm - plod on

bil72

15,000 season tickets more like. No way 35-40k season ticket holders will remain through 3 SFL campaigns.

@5: all of the players who transferred to newco will be on their previous wage so it won't be tiny until they go.

Lol st Johnston out Motherwell out all we need is Celtic to get beat tomorrow it's not rangers fault this time wake up and smell the coffee use are waisting all the work we have done ure rankings are going to go downhill w don't worry we will be back to restore our pride in cl c'mon Helsinki

"All the work we have done" that being one win in twenty five games. Keep your contribution and for the record this is the last season for the UEFA run so for three years your contribution will be near zero, so just like the last four really. You'll have a Euro rating comparable to Welsh teams by the time you get back in. If I was you I'd start praying Scottish teams do well, may be the only thing to stop you coming in at who knows what level if and when you get back into Europe.

No wonder no one likes or wants to help your club.

I expected this bitter nonsence, just shows the contempt some morons have for the Scottish game.

What a childish little rant. Hard to believe your slagging Motherwell for getting beat of a team with a decent pedigree after you struggled to beat Brechin City in extra time. Please bare in mind that The Rangers have no European experience or history and that oldco Rangers got humped out of Europe at the first hurdle last year. No wonder nobody likes you with this stinking little attitude. Pedro

At least they got their chance.Better than down in Div 3 and snatching a win on Sunday.Good luck to ALL the teams.I'm not a 'hater' but a lover of football--you can watch your rivals and be gracious.That's what's so lacking in many of our (and other)supporters.Good luck to ALL Scotish teams

Just a bitter little man, concentrate on yourselves have you noticed your team is spending money they don't have again why don't you worry about that

Yes, Rangers did a great job last year to help the coefficient...

Just nearly same as last year.. so no difference we didnt exactly set the heather on fire last year either did we

I hope Celtic get gobbed to which in away I'm ashamed to admit because I always wanted Scottish teams to do well in Europe. But after the hatred shown towards rangers over the last five months I could not care less if they get totally pumped

I take it from your post that you are part of the moronic minority in the Rangers support. I say minority but it seems to be a 50/50 split almost with agrees and disagrees....maybe the minority, but only just!

Well it seems you are now the enemies of scottish football. Well done.

Rangers are he only team to accumulate any coefficient points for the country over the past 3 years. Remember we beat sporting Lisbon in Europa? Ran PSV close, also sme decent results in CL group that year. What did Yous do? That's right got pumped off Utrect and Braga - forgot how much Celtic contributed doh

Haha

J

@1 Last Scottish team to reach a euro final? This in itself boosted the co-efficient ratings.
I see you're avoiding your own club's exemplary away record in euro. One win in the last 32 away games.
Now surely Helsinki, gotta be the one!

More sad celtic stalkers on our page. Still obsessed I see. Lol

@11: one win in 22 matches is just brilliant, isn't it.

@13: the OP and others referred to Celtic - do their fans not have a right to reply? Remember this isn't a Rangers fans only page.
