This we are the people crap is what got you's in to this mess. We are to big to go under BULLSHXT so was the Titanic. This guy Craig Whyte is ripping the heart out of your club and all you can think about is finding away to make Neil Lennon the culprit for this mess. We are going to do this we are going to do that so we will get Lennon the sack. Grow a pair. How did demonstration go?? I bet there wasn't any. Lenny was two games away from winning the treble in his first season in charge and he would of done it only for the off the pitch shxte he was put through. Walter Smith knew what was coming so did McCoist. Craig WHYTE fool you all. You are at Least going to be deducted 10 points so stop this talk of winning the league. Yaz drop 15 points with jellypish so you's think you's will do better with Kyle Laughatme and David no other club will have me healy. Lol I just can't get enough. In Craig WHYTE we trust......

In Whyte you're bust.

Has precious little money last few seasons, why can't we do it again this season? You've had money thrown at your club left right and center and have failed to reap the rewards so far. Team of bottlers you've got, we've got a team who knows what it feels like to win. Muzz

@muzz; check the spending since smith came back n you might be surprised

Wondering if we've got any promising strikers in the youth squad who're maybe able to step up? From the little i saw of him, i don't think that Hemmings is quite rangers quality (hope i'm proven wrong), and i've never really seen Little play. In times like these we need Murray Park to pay off.

Just speaking to an old neighbour (89 and Rangers through and through) he showed me a book about Rangers. Apparently you got your name from an English rugby club (your founders liked the name) between 1879 -1883 you played in HOOPS (light blue but still HOOPS)
As I say NOTHING about your club is ORIGINAL
hail hail Timalloy (except your tax debt LOL )

Celtic were founded in 1888 does that not make Celtic unoriginal? Rangers in fact were the original hoops, you illogical t**t.

So.. Hoops... i assume yous nicked them from us in 1888 then? Celtic isn't exactly an original word, mate.

Erm you were founded 1888 and copied our hoops i would presume yah fud

Well considering rangers were founded 16 years before ur manky club it doesnt take a member of mensa to work out who copied who.... "1879-83" wasnt ur club formed in 1888??

He he, owned again tim you fud :-)
Nice one logical bear

Whyte bot murrays 85% for 1 pound,alleges to pay clubs debts,raked in over 30 million thats vanished,debts have increased,wish i had put fancy suit on n taken eye candy to games n partid with a pound,easy money without pikin six numbers,the same man that even last year couldent even finance his building work,an oppertunist n wise man shrewd if u like,he stands to make a lot of money for a pound enuf to live on for 7 years perhaps,we can all moan but we only got ourselfes to blame we was told,who has even herd whyte addres fans about anything,n who will take a club on with 50 mil tax case n 46mil operations n debt,n the next four years income a repayment,even if we carry on n say end up 2nd or 1 st n dont qualify then what,how will it change in time for next transfer window,from murray down should hang head in shame

01 Feb 2012 22:06:18
Maybe if Ally had managed to keep Rangers in Europe instead of loseing to two poor teams there might of been money available for more signings but as he never he should take a lookin the mirror to see where the real problem is

Maybe if whyte has signed somebody we would not have gone out. Remember Boca travelling overnight by car to play as we had nobody else.

Think the whole problem with that statement is : the rangers board budgeted for CL group stages? Then when knocked out they needed to beg borrow and steal to stay afloat ?

01 Feb 2012 21:50:01
Celtic fan here, but not on to gloat. Not a financial wizkid or anything, but does it not look like whytes big plan is liquidation. He runs up big loans and stashes the money god knows where, sells prize assets and doesn't replace them, reduces the wage bill any way he can to save himself more money, doesn't pay any NI conts, all the tax bills, possibility of no european football next season. It all points to winding a company up. With transfer fees, season ticket money and future season ticket loan money....whyte would get maybe a £10-12m return on his initial £18m investment, which isn't too bad for a years work. All loans and debts would die with rangers, whyte walks away banned from being a director at any company for 7years(sound familiar) allowing the new rangers to rise from the ashes and back into spl( they would be allowed straight back in because of tv etc) with the only debt being however much they pay the major creditor( from the liquidation) for ibrox, which given it isn't in prime residential land could be very cheap.

That could never happen.the s.f.a. could not let it happen.a new rangers would have to start in the league below the 3rd division.

01 Feb 2012 21:34:05
What's with everyone giving up
The ghost. We are only 1 pt behind
Its not barcelona who's top of our league
We are still good enough to win it
Let's get behind the team.

Agree , about time we stopped all this crying and get behind our club.
i was here in the late 70s and 80s that was hell , we can rise again.
lets get behind the team.

01 Feb 2012 21:12:55
Okay I know im going to get slaughtered for this but here goes..

So Whyte took out a 35m pound loan using season ticket money, without telling us what it's for, which we are of course mad about.

Then he sells Jela for 5m or so, and does not reinvest. That leaves him with about 40m, where did it go or where is it going ?

I know everyone will say its for Whyte hes a crook etc, but what if it's for the tax bill ? Whyte did say admin is plan C or D. What if plan B is to lose the tax bill, and pay it? I'm sure we would like to be in debt more than admin.

And lastly Whyte isn't exactly going to come out and tell us what the moneys for if it is for the tax bill is he ? If someone was on trial they wouldn't tell the jury they think they are going to be found guilty would they ? Whyte won't want HMRC to know he has the money to pay the bill, or he is preparing to lose it.

So maybe there is a small small chance we are wrong, and he is not a thief, and I know this will get a lot of disagrees but as has been quoted on many occasions, once the tax bill is over, whatever the result is, it will be a lot clearer for everyone involved in the club.

Interesting theory, I Really don't trust whyte but he could be saving for tax bill and this is why the accounts havent been published yet

J

Thats what i think he's doing.green jhedi

I would not bet your money on this, more like he disappears with pockets full, lying barsteward

I agree with the origional poster i dont think we should hit the panic button just yet im an optimistic bear think about it we sell jela for £5.5million dont see a penny let be realistic here its not going to look good spending money when the tax case result is due soon

Wr_86_rfc

EDD make this guy an edd, think its the most calm well written, most hopeful, inspiring statement for a gers fan to read. seriously we should all still support our beloved team and make up ur minds of whyte after tax case? we dont all want to slag him off now only for him to be a hero and rub it in our face (cos he is money mad and powermad) im undisided on whether hes good for the club but thanks for ur post and we should all wait till taxcaseday!
TODD88

01 Feb 2012 20:55:25
Why is everyone on here jumping on the press hyped bandwagon? Our young players are going on loan to get them ready for next season if tax case goes wrong. Give whyte a chance. Hope u all come back on here and apologise if whyte proves everyone wrong. RTID

If you believ that you are a fool

01 Feb 2012 20:46:36
just a thought lads.... maybe whyte is playing the game, running gers right down, making us appear to be in worse circumstances than we actually are, so that when we lose the tax case[which we will to some extent] then maybe there will be some kind of leniency from hmrc and any other creditors involved.... ie.. maybe we can strike a deal [like arsenal have done] that would save us millions, and we can get out of administration quicker...... as opposed to keeping our top earners... making new signings striving forward as a club that come may, could face a massive debt of liquidation proportions....... dont forget most of us gers fans are average guys that dont understand the comings and goings of rescuing failing buisnesses.... and also mr whyte cant exactly come out and tell gers fans this is his plan...

This guy wasnt born yesterday !! watp

Wishful thinking mate!
Cb

That is a cunning plan Baldrick LOL......DH

..You may be correct mate...things just dont seem to be adding up at the minute Mr Whyte may be a bit smarter than the mhanks are making him out to be..fingers crossed hope he knows what hes doing..

We were not born yesterday either mate, Whyte is a crook

You must have been! crying to the tax man wont do a thing.he's gotta strip the whole operation down to a workable financial base and start again.admin is probably a cert,unless he's got a massive trick up his sleeve, 10-25 point deduction and start again. its that or liquidation. what would you choose?

Yer mostly all doom n gloom merchants that beleive everythin the media tells us... facts are probably only 2 people kno the real truth... lets run with this tax case 1st.. before we all start falling out and creating divisions on the basis of what the media say. we are the plonkers

01 Feb 2012 20:43:21
Ally states he is lucky to be manager of Rangers........this man has never quit at anything he has done.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for this man who loves our club.

Those of you who think he should quit are clueless.

He has by far the toughest job any other Rangers manager has ever had. If he pulls it off it really will be a truely fantastic result!

He chucked A Question of Sport

01 Feb 2012 20:03:01
Im starting to see this whole fiasco
take on a different shape all together

01 Feb 2012 19:54:09
to every1 who is on here askin why rangers never enquired about guys like lovenkrands ect the reason is simple WE HAVE NO MONEY! The current situation means teams like hibs can afford guys that we want but cant afford. Us rangers fans must get real and understand that our club is in big big trouble. We should also realise that super ally is trying his best under the most difficult of circumstances so get Off his back. Any other man would probably walked away by now but allys love for rangers means he just cant do that he obviously feels he is the right man to help us through these darkest of times. Super ally i salute you and know you will always do what you think is best for our great club

If there is no money at all then why did a bid go in for holt of norwich.there must be something there to at least get 1 striker in.

By wasting money on players then not playing them?

Its only coz he no chance of gettin back on question of sport,

As we knew by offering less that a million we had no chance - simples

dannager4life

Waken up
if that bid was placed
it was placed knowing it would be refused

Hokt is the captain of a team in first season back in epl doing great n going to sell their captain for half the price n half the wages,wool over eyes n thats y their womnt b a free transfer either NO MONEY SKINT,BRASSIC,DESTITUTE,BOTTOM OF BARREL,STONE BROKE,WIPED OUT,EVEN THE CHEK BOOK DOING THE BOUNCY thats why

Holt bid probably derisory to ensure we dont get him but look as if were in the market for players

Or stunt
Gb

Only a thought here lads but if this million pound bid did go in and was rejected why did,nt they not use a fair percentage of this to pay the wages of a decent loan striker till the end of the season. or as was previously said was it just to be knocked back to make it look like a replacement was being looked at for jela. blue al

01 Feb 2012 19:52:01
Whyte has only done one thing wrong... he told us he would spend to improve the team. He has spent, but nothing like what was promised. That aside he is doing what he is good at, turning around a very run down business! The problem is football is seen as a "results" business, at Rangers and Celtic results are a must! People are very angry because we are not buying players, not even loan deals. Whyte will not spend money because he can't, not if he wants to turn Rangers around. It wont happen in a season, it will take a long time so we had better get used to it...
Think of it this way, if you took your wages to the bookies and blew the lot in one bad bet, your wife is not only going to give you a dull one she is only going to feed you beans on toast for a month. No take aways, no beer etc etc so expect Rangers to sell more big players and rely more and more on whatever Murray Park can supply. Not great news but it was always going to be this way once SDM decided to KEEP blowing his wages at the bookies...

01 Feb 2012 19:46:51
Rangers should sign free-agent dereck riordan

Nice idea in theory...............BUT WE HAVE NAE MONEY TO SPEND OAN ANYBODY REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE A FREE TRANSFER OR NOT! Its about time we aw got used to this fact and stop asking "how about this player" and "why dont we sign him" Forget Craig Whyte and get behind the team, whats for us wont go bye us and the kwiker we get it over and done with the better, the leagues still there for the taking and its not just us that are great at blowing 15 point gaps.....is it ? WATP

01 Feb 2012 19:44:20
Brilliant mate and it can be done again that mob are crap and no bottle always remember watp

Always remember where are the players

always remember where are the points

haha good luck ! whyte is playing the lotto with rangers £1 for a£18m jackpot no bad for a years work

lenny

Lenny the Masterdebater!

01 Feb 2012 19:31:07
lets be real here u dnt need a superstar team to win the spl .. not the best team we hav ever had but we have enough blue noses in the team to go on and win this league for supper ally ! Watp

Think allys had enough SUPPERS

01 Feb 2012 19:07:28
Evening Ostriches well how did your "Mass" protest go, got told the suggestion was everyone walk to Govan holding a lighted candle, but for some reason that idea did not go down too well LOL Timalloy

Don't want to mix words you Tim Alloy, you're a Masterdebater.

01 Feb 2012 18:33:59
Celtic supporter comes in peace....... Listen guys, just watched the news, and seen the players that use have have left and to be fair it doesn't look too bad! It's the off field stuff that's not great but in time it will get sorted? As long as r&ngers keep the the name use will have a team to support! Do what use have to do to get this guy Whyte out, think it will get worse before better tho!!? Celtic and r&ngers need each other if only for bragging rights...lol
Just now weer all laughin but could make Scottish football even worse? Good luck! ( god that was hard, need to lie down now)

Fair play man, i'm always as unbaised as possible when it comes to celtic and i give credit where it is due. Tbh i think that we will pull through this and its quite refreshing to see that your being fair.
EKger

To be honest, Celtic have a far better squad, and if they fail to win a treble then they have missed a massive opportunity.

GovanFR

Fair play mate thanks. macGER

Top man,a good Celtic fan who feels our pain,you have restored my faith in humanity,thanks,enjoy your evening sir.

Im a celtic fan and feel sorry for the rangers its an institution like celtic we bounce off each other wish you all the best hope whyte goes

01 Feb 2012 18:13:23
people need to get real i was born and raised through 9 in a row so it hurts to see my team in the state it is but be realistic. if u got a letter through the door that said in 2 months due to something the previous occupants have done we may have to take away your house would you
a) buy a big new telly get fitted bathroom and kitchen build an extension do the gardens up?
or b) wait the 2 months until the issue is sorted out then take it from there?
i'm not whytes biggest fan but until the tax case is through i will reserve judgment instead of reading columns from ex employees(Alistair Johnston and the rest) the very same men that put the club i love in the state it is in today. cause in the end this is the mess they created and have a chip on there shoulder after the got told where to go.

I agree with your post but why did whyte come out with all the b*lls**t of strengthening squad this transfer window. if he told the fans we need to get the wage bill down by sending some players out on loan plus we need to sell one of our star players in order to survive until tax case is resolved, we as fans would probably have accepted this. at least we would have known where we stood. WATP!

01 Feb 2012 18:09:03
Rangers have just signed 2 czechs,,,,blank and provi

01 Feb 2012 18:04:56
Is the rumours true that Super Ally has quit?? To be honest not much of a surprise not going to get very far if he cant get funds to strengthen an already weakened team and as far as the deal for Jelavic is concerned that is surreal why knock back a better offer from West Ham then accept the stupid money offer from Everton...Bout time Mr Whyte gave some answers to questions being asked instead of keeping his mouth shut!!!!!

01 Feb 2012 17:48:07
So,if Rangers go to the wall,worst case ,would Celtic fans be happy winning titles with no Rangers team in the league,and a great reduction in tv revenue,possibly no Champions League slot,due to poor co-efficient,i dont think any decent fan would want that,we all enjoy banter,but i for one would not enjoy my football without the greatest football derby in Europe,the old firm game is unique.God willing this never happens,it would be the death knell for All Scottish Football.

01 Feb 2012 17:37:24
This protest is a bad idea. For starters it won't help or change anything. Everyone just needs to stop believing all rumours and wait and see what happens.

01 Feb 2012 17:25:06
Could all Rangers supporters please be reminded that all season ticket renewals for 2017-18 are due to be paid in full by 6pm tomorrow (Thursday)........DH

01 Feb 2012 17:07:02
How about this team for our next match:
Kelly, Murdoch, Pascazio (Mills, 56), Urquhart, Wilson, Telfer, Aird, Ramsay, Walsh (Roberts, 46), Burrows, Stonie (Dykes, 46)

This is Rangers' under 17 team which beat Partick Thistle 12-1 in the Glasgow Cup the other night. Apparently young Burrows is the next big star.

As for the so-called first team, we must play MacKay, Cellik, Ness (if fit), Hemmings, Wylde.

Wylde is by far the worst player in our first team squad. He has absolutely no qualities whatsoever.

Steven.

01 Feb 2012 16:50:14
to all the rangers fans planning protests against craig whyte saying he isn't acting in the best interest of the club because he has not signed any players wasn't it signing players you couldn't afford that got yous in all this mess in the first place maybe he his acting in the best interest of the club saving money to try and keep the club going a few years of sacrifice maybe needed to ensure the long term future of your club

Buy players sensibly. If he had of brought in 2 or 3 one and a half million pound players at the start of the season he would have more than doubled his mony by now as we would have progressed into the champ league group stages!!

01 Feb 2012 16:32:44
Don't know if anyone agrees or not but Murray park has been open for 10 years now! 3 players in ness, Hutton and Wilson are the only people to come through the youth and played with gers/ moved on to bigger clubs. Surely we have to wake up bears, scouting and youth coaches must not be up to standard! There needs to be a shake up right through the ranks, starting at the very top with whyte! We play in a league where we have to be a selling club, but if Murray park is producing no greater than Ortiz there is something far far wrong with this club which is now coming to light! Too many people been getting an easy ride at this club! Would like to say start again but I fear it may be to late!!

Never heard of a piece of grass producing good footballers, it is good coaches and talent. The coaches are either not good enough or there is no talent. Sandy jardine told me recently that Murray Park costs £1.4m a year to run. I think it is an over the top ego trip for the last spiv, Sir DM. Why we need eight pitches with no reserve team I will never know. The ecwc team in 1972 trained in the albioncar park

Dont know about you but i would feel a lot more content and have more respect if the club said ok fans our finances are dire we are gonna have to sort it out mean time our youngster will get their chance and if we can we will try recruit free players of a good calibre when we can while we get it sorted please back your club.

Sell murray park would b more benificial to everyone,young players would have chance at it if it wasent so conditioned,

Alan Hutton and Charlie Adam another two

What about Charlie Adam, Chris Burke, (I know he isn't great but has made it) and Allan McGregor. The problem is Rangers youth system identified a problem a few years back, they said they were producing talented footballers but the boys were not developing physically to be footballers. As a result they focused on finding people with the physical capabilities as can be seen with the likes of Wylde, plenty pace but no footballing ability. They are wrong with this strategy they should focus on skill not the physical side, Messi isn't exactly big.

GovanFR

Sell murray park, why, the only money that would be made is the land, which is in a green belt, so your limited what can be built on the land.

01 Feb 2012 16:26:30
Dear ED001/ED014 I have my serious head on today, and just want to say that all true Rangers supporters should be protesting and asking Whyte all the questions that nobody has asked yet.
I saw ED014 saying media were making most of these stories, but if you are honest, the mainstream media's Silence from the beginning has not helped the loyal Rangers fans.
If good journalism was in place, perhaps Rangers would not have been in this mess to start. Only voices raised were by freelance journalists like RTC who was rubbished for being a Celtic fan, but most of what he predicted has happened.
Rangers, despite what you all think, are NOT Scottish football, you are NOT too big to go under. No other "billionaires" are waiting in the wings to save your club. Only YOU the REAL Rangers fans can save your football club.
We Celtic fans rose up, with the help of genuine businessmen and saved Glasgow Celtic, it is time for Rangers fans to stop bleating and start taking back your club.
I genuinely want you to be there next season, otherwise who else am I going to laugh at? hail hail Timalloy {Ed014's Note - I never said any such thing about the media and if I did that is not what I meant.Stories have been going round for months and it is only now that the media have decided to go with the story,of course they are making the most of it,probably too late though.

How did the Celtic fans "rise up"? All you lot done was protest outside Celtic park. The takeover of your club would still have taken place whether the Celtic fans protested or not. From what I have been told Celtic were literally a bawhair away from going under until Fergus McCann came in at the 11th and took control of your club.

Rangers, aren't anywhere near going under, not at the moment anyway.

So tell me Einstein, what can us Rangers do to save our club?

TTG

ED014 not wanting to start argument but at 14.26 on your Rangers banter site part of your reply was "people can blame the media for a witchhunt" sorry but this same media has been complicit in most of Rangers FC shortcomings When your club operated its sectarian No Catholics policy the media (and SFA) were complicit in their silence. Now all the brave journalists who were very cosy with Murray etc.. and being fed little snippets turned a blind eye to all the goings on regarding asking if the club could maintain the big wages and where was this money coming from. The media have always been tools of Rangers Fc so to now say otherwise is laughable. Timalloy {Ed014's Note - I said that people can blame the media for a witch hunt as in Some Rangers fans are blaming them.I didn't say I agreed if you read it right.Do not twist what I said or just pick out bits to suit what ever is racing through your attention seeking head.Why are you bringing up a club policy that has not been used in nearly 30 years.Sectarianism is not part of the thread and you will not be allowed to drag it down to your level.

ED014, my point was about the media a valid point, see you are the same as everyone else on here, when stuck for a sensible reply throw insults you are doing your self proud goodnight Timalloy
Ps I will be on here tomorrow, will Rangers FC? LOL {Ed014's Note - I never insulted you.All you do is pick over petty little points.You cant deny the press are all over this story now hence making the most of it.I thought Celtic supporters didn't believe what was wrote in papers?.I am sure Ed007 will be pleased to know you are giving them so much praise for their work.Wasn't what he told you enough?

01 Feb 2012 16:16:44
And we all chip in to make up 50 mil for tax man,45million in operational costs,and another whip round for players,with no season ticket money coming in,fantastic idea,

I won't be putting a penny in while that crook is in charge

01 Feb 2012 16:06:26
Ed, please post this! Yes there will be a protest outside ibrox at 6 but everybody must remember it is a PEACEFUL protest! Spread the word...

01 Feb 2012 15:43:41
just seen this, what has whyte spent the money on?


Trust seek answers from Whyte


Published on Wednesday 1 February 2012 15:18

The Rangers Supporters Trust have asked owner Craig Whyte for clarification on the Ticketus deal which has sparked further speculation about the club's long-term future.

Whyte denied claims he had used a loan secured on future ticket sales to facilitate his takeover in May, which involved paying off a debt of £18million to Lloyds Banking Group.

Gordon Dinnie, chair of the Trust, contacted Whyte urging him to "publicly clarify the situation both for our members as shareholders and the wider Rangers support".

In a statement released on the club's official website the Rangers chairman did admit to borrowing money from Ticketus - a London-based group who allow clubs to borrow money on the strength of future season-ticket sales.

Former Rangers chairman Alastair Johnston, who was opposed to Whyte's takeover, questioned the long-term use of Ticketus and urged the Motherwell-born businessman to explain exactly how he has spent advance season-ticket revenues.

Rangers are waiting on a tax tribunal verdict concerning payments made to staff in benefit trusts and the case could cost the Scottish champions up to £49million - which would almost inevitably see the club go into administration.

A statement on the Trust website read: "On behalf of the board and members of the RST the chairman of the Trust contacted the club chairman on Tuesday evening urging him to publicly clarify the situation both for our members as shareholders and the wider Rangers support.

"Supporters are rightly concerned about the club's financial future with the verdict of the tax case just around the corner and reports of season-ticket revenue being re-mortgaged for the next four years will only heighten fears.

"Supporters have been aware in the past of how Ticketus was used to borrow money against Champions League income which would come into the club later in the season but borrowing on season-ticket money over four years seems to see the club enter dangerous and unchartered waters."

The RST body also raised the issue of Whyte's delay in calling an annual general meeting. Trading in shares in Rangers was suspended last month after a delay in publishing the club's audited accounts.

01 Feb 2012 14:56:24
Ally mccoist putting playing boots bk on aint even a laughing matter now. .. I reckon ally wud still do a better job than that healy! That may be the only solution we have to getting some experience up front!

Why dont we try that strange thing and actually play young players that have been brought through murray park,better than constantly bringing in players that0 are not improving our situation and pick up thousands a week to sit on bench,stand or tryin to ship them out

01 Feb 2012 14:42:50
me and 3 fellow season ticket holders who i work beside are heading straight from work tonight over to ibrox to take part in the protest. I would urge every rangers fan to post news of the protest on facebook twitter ect. we have to show craig whyte that we will not tolerate his lies any longer and that we want answers. Being beaten to players by HIBS is an absolute disgrace and we have to let him know we are becoming the laughing stock of world football. THIS IS NOT ON

I dont believe u'll do it

Haha, you are a belter. You're going to give Craig Whyte pelters because you were beaten to a player by hibs.

Why not give him some verbal about the impending insolvency?

01 Feb 2012 15:04:28
Am a celtic man wi no grudges to hold but I cleary remember 1994 and the old boards attituted to their fans, the only way to stop wats happening is to stand up and be counted listen nothing is stronger than fan power so do something to save ur great club instaed of just talking about it.

01 Feb 2012 14:26:33
Ed Do you think that fans are right to protest against Whyte or do you think that they don't realise fully the mess the club are in? {Ed014's Note - If it is peaceful then I can't see any harm in it.It does seem that Whyte has not been 100% truthful.People can blame the media for a witch hunt but he has failed to deliver on most of his promises and it isn't looking good.

Storm the place, Iranian Embassy style, take no prisoners. Demand that he sign some duds and pay them with more money that the club doesn't have.

You are, after all.....the peepil.

01 Feb 2012 14:20:21
So Jelevic didn't play against hibs cause he had a stomache bug!? What another pack of turd! We need to get Captain coco bananas out fast before he sells the tea lady!

Hey lets not forget allys done plenty lying too...

01 Feb 2012 14:08:14
Ed is there really a protest the night or is it all hot air... Coz if there is I need to get a train soon like...... macGER {Ed001's Note - if enough people say there will be one, I am sure there will end up being one. I am not sure what people would protest against or what they would hope to achieve though.}

I agree with you ed... but sitting on our a!se with our fingers crossed is not going to do anything either.. what does whyte think we can do when not if Healy gets injured. do you agree ed. macGER {Ed001's Note - surely there are players in the youth team that can play up front if needed?}

Players from the youth team.... Well f@ck me sideways that's ok then. NOT ! macGER

01 Feb 2012 13:45:07
what a bunch of wallowing muppets ...craig whhyte is not to blame for this mess ...it appears to me that whyte is trying to protect rangers assets by securing them by a floating charge ...he is in any eventuality rangers major creditor ...he willl buy the assets from administrator at reduced rates ...then either trade out of administration or set up phoenix company in the event of insolvency ....rangers will still be playing at ibrox for years to come ....the culpable are david murray .and all previous board members...not whyte and his group ...as for mccoist he is not up to the job anyway ..a new dawn is breaking ...

Have you forgot about the money he got from the season ticket money.where has it gone.we need answers

We need to realise it is not of whytes making ,he is trying to clear up mess left by other board members stop tearing rangers and each other apart the season isn't over

01 Feb 2012 13:56:03
can we really blame Whyte for not sanctioning deals our manager/scouts arent excatly filling us with confidence, Bedoya, McKay Ortiz how much money did we or are we wasting on these guys and why when Matt McKay was Aussie player of the year can he not get a look in at Ibrox? if he is worse than we have, what is he doing here then !!

Agreed.whyte is the easy target.mccoist has to answer questions on signings and trialists not to mention youth players never getting picked.

We had identified loads of targets in the summer but tight whyte made us get the dross in

01 Feb 2012 13:32:07
A bit off good news bears, hayley mcqueen on sky sports news the now, what a goddess!... {Ed014's Note - You better not let Ed007 hear you are eyeing up his woman!

01 Feb 2012 13:27:44
im as gutted as everyone else that we signed nobody but lets be honest.. were a few good players away from being strong enough and most of the off loaded players werent on much.. and the wage bull was too high then aswell ! or would people rather we spent money we never had, again ?? Sundays a big game cos the cup mite be the only thing we can win, the teams bad but lets be honest so is the rest of the league.. lets just see what happens with the tax case and take it from there...

Ally mccoist will not be leaving Rangers, the man is not a quitter! Never has been. Let's get behind him 100 per cent...........those who want to protest , do so, peacefully. But while you do protest show support for Ally McCoist. He deserves and needs it. Let's win this league. With heart. Forget the posts from the east end. They will need to worry about their own team who are very very average in this awful league. Not world beaters. Far from it, the Spl is wide open. Cmon the rangers. Good luck Ally! 29 years on still number 1!
Very loyal Davie

He quit Question of Sport didnt he?

Ally to blame as much as anybody mate.mckay,bedoya,ortiz all his signings and he never plays them. playing side buck stops with him.

01 Feb 2012 13:10:31
two protest rallies being held by rangers fans this week, one tonight at 6p.m and the other at 12 p.m b4 the dundee united game (keep this post rolling and spread the news)

01 Feb 2012 12:42:16
Alexander Hleb has had his contract terminated by Barcelona, could be an option, no fee involved and with all the departures during the window there should be wages freed up to put a package together for him, no a rumour just a thought, what do my fellow bears think?

Hleb expects at least 30k per week . we could not even go back in for jagger or carlos who expected 7k a week so how can we afford Hleb .

I swear some of our fans live with there heads in the clouds

Come on give it a break, we couldn't offer jagger 3k a week

Doubt that buddy hed prob been on 40/60k a week easily id imagine

Wullie

I think ur a bit simple. Wot sort of wage do u think Hled has been on at Arsenal, Stuttgart and Barcelona the last 7 or 8 years?

01 Feb 2012 12:36:41
The best firm of protest - specifically in light of the season tickets revelations - is for as many supporters including season ticket holders to forego their ticket for this weekend's match and SHOW Whyte what will happen for his actions. Supporters who should be inside supporting the team must make the sacrifice to NOT support the team this weekend by instead making a peaceful demonstration outside Ibrox instead. This WILL have a far greater impact and deliver a far more powerful message than being at the game inside the ground. Fans should start to realise there is NO respect for the supporters from CW. He is taking us all for granted as proven by assuming he can loan season ticket sales vases on current volumes for the next four seasons. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO...let's get Ibrox at least half empty this weekend!

Dont worry about Ibrox being half empty. The performances on the pitch will soon see to that.

01 Feb 2012 12:15:57
I have an idea might be a long shot and may sound stupid lol but see the 200 hundred thousand that went down to manchester? or whoever knows the exact amount? but i calculated that if everyone gave 50 quid then that would total to 10mill, if somebody can second opinion or double check my calculations thenpost cheers. ed? you think this could be possible? watp (Loyal Bear) [>| {Ed001's Note - why not set up a company with the express aim of buying the club out? If you release X amount of shares at a price of, say for instance, £10 each, you can guarantee that people can afford a share. Or look into the Barca model, of it being a club and each fan pays a membership fee each year. Maybe even a bit of both would be better. The yearly membership fee could provide new investment each year to put towards buying players etc. It would probably take a few years to set up, but surely it would be in the long term interests of the club to actually return to being a club owned by the fans?}

Good idea Loyal Bear.just think what 250000 loyal Bears donating say 4 a week for one year=£52million then say £10 year =£10million.this would need to be done through a reputable organised set up.if only we could get a board of true Rangers Supporters who know how to run companys I:e your Parks or Mccolls not in it for the money and with Our backing how far could we go.rant over.

01 Feb 2012 12:47:27
bears beware! have you wondered why the record launched an attack on whyte? i have,and here is the reason..king and murray(not david!) are attempting to drive a wedge between fans and owner for their own ends in an attempt to take control during the turmoil.read and listen closely to all you can.tame journos will try and influence proceedings by dropping hints at protests,boycotts etc. keep your eyes and mind open to this. no matter who owns rangers admin is probable unless someone is willing to write off between 50-60m! ask this.do you trust king? do you trust murray? at least whyte stepped up did they?murray is a strange case,took plenty for years and kept quiet until two days before the buy out.financial restraints will hurt rangers but this will happen no matter whos in charge. time to listen closely bears there is plenty at stake.

Unlike Craig Whyte, Dave King DID give £20 Million of his own cash to the Club....so bear that in mind before suggesting Whyte is being bullied by King and Murray

There is no proof whyte didnt use his own money to clear the 18m only journo speculation.if he can answer where the ticket advance money gone .fair enough.

When the club gos tits up will King and P Murray not be banned from having a directorship because they were on the board of Rangers during the 5 year period to which the ruling applies to?

Besides, King is already banned in South Africa and the UK from trading due to his own tax problems.

Dave Kings in no position to do anything at the moment with his ongoing Tax investigations in SA and nor is anyone able to act on his behalf.

THE DEBT IS 15% OF OUR OVERALL VALUE AND AND IF 50 MIL OF TAX WAS ADDED IT WOULD ONLT BE 49%. These accounts look not bad with cash flow of no concern and us operating ok. what has happened in this time??

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

When I became the majority shareholder and Chairman of this great football club
in May this year, the sense of honour and privilege I felt was overwhelming.
Those feelings are stronger than ever within me now.

First, I would like to address what matters most to every Rangers fan -
football. In recent years the performance of the players and the football
management team has been quite magnificent and I would suggest their
achievements rank among the Club's greatest.

Three successive League titles, three out of the last four Scottish League
Cups, plus two Scottish Cups and a UEFA Cup Final appearance is extraordinary
by any standard and set the seal on Walter Smith's outstanding second term as
Manager and a truly remarkable managerial career. Every Rangers supporter owes
him an enormous debt of gratitude.

Walter also left the Club in good hands and Ally McCoist, Kenny McDowall and
Ian Durrant are showing the same tremendous drive for success. All of us wish
them - and the players - continuing success this season.

In May, the Club entered a new era both on and off the pitch. Whilst this
Statement covers the 12-month period ending on 31 June 2011, it also affords us
the opportunity to look forward.

I am the first to recognise the contribution that my predecessor as majority
shareholder, Sir David Murray, made to Rangers over 20 years. With any change
in ownership, however, there will be a change in approach and I firmly believe
the changes I have implemented will be in the longer-term interest of the Club,
which must always come first.

We have a new Board. In addition, we have appointed a new Chief Operating
Officer to drive the business forward and take advantage of emerging
opportunities and a Director of Football, whose role is to help Rangers
maximise every opportunity to develop, attract and retain playing talent, as
well as ensure the Club engages productively with football authorities at
domestic and international level.

Perhaps the biggest change that has been effected since the takeover in May has
been the repayment of all bank borrowings. The Club is no longer reliant on
bank funding, nor does any bank control our operations on a daily basis.

I hope fans would share my view that, looking ahead, the Club should do
everything to live within its means and operate on a commercially viable basis.
I firmly believe that is the only sustainable, long-term strategy for Rangers.

Performance on the field has a direct bearing on the Club's business
performance. Participation in the UEFA Champions' League remains important
although increasingly difficult to achieve given the qualification process for
the SPL champions.

During 2010/2011 we qualified for the UEFA Champions' League and played in the
UEFA Europa League. Turnover at GBP57.2m for 2010/11 was an overall increase of GBP
0.9m over the previous year. Gate receipts and hospitality sales increased
overall by GBP1.3m to GBP27.1m, due to the extra European games games, although
there was an overall reduction in season ticket sales, hospitality sales and
sponsorship revenue.

Net operating expenses increased by GBP3.6m to GBP47.5m reflecting increased salary
levels, higher European fixture costs and operational cost increases across the
business.

The Club remains embroiled in historical tax issues with Her Majesty's Revenue
and Customs, primarily the tax tribunal on Employee Benefit Trusts. It has been
a dark cloud hanging over the Club for far too long and any resolution must
enable the Club to move forward.

Rangers has never been short of challenges in recent years and there is no
question there are many challenges ahead for both the Club and Scottish
football in general. However, I am certain that, as a Club, we can rise to
these challenges and deliver success both on and off the pitch. That is what
Rangers is all about.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all supporters who have offered
me so much encouragement. Your support for the Club is inspirational and I can
only promise to ensure that the interests of Rangers and our fans will be at
the heart of everything I do as Chairman.

Craig Whyte, Chairman

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to

For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares. The Group has 1,200,000 of potential dilutive ordinary shares at 30
June 2011. As the current share price is below the option price, the basic and

END

Rangers liquidation value is between £14 and £16 million. No matter how whyte spins it and you choose to believe it, your club is technically insolvent and will be liquidated.

01 Feb 2012 11:47:49
Imagine if you will Marks and Spencer�s gets into financial difficulty (not too big a stretch). A new owner purchases the company to steady the ship.

It is expected that he will have to cut costs, and will have to let some key staff go in order to balance the books. However he promises that this will not impact on the quality of the product to the paying customer, and that replacements will be brought in � even if only on a temporary secondment from another food chain.

However, what he does instead is let go the most valuable member of staff, without getting adequate compensation as part of the deal. He fails to bring in any form of replacement for the key member of staff, as a result unskilled workers are left to try and perform jobs that are beyond their talents. From there, the product on the shop floor suffers and far from being the quality M&S brand that they have built up and marketed for years, it is now a shadow of its former self, and is a far more bargain basement product resembling that of Aldi.

The loyal customers of M&S stop shopping there, as they are not getting a product that matches the prices that they are being charged.

Am I getting through to you Mr Whyte? I wont be abandoning my club, but other fans might. If the product on the pitch is suffering greatly due to your failure to bring even the minimum extra players that the squad clearly requires, it will cause some season ticket holders not to renew. All the more worrying when you have borrowed against assumed season ticket sales.

Start running the place as a football club! For someone who is supposedly a smart business man, your strategy thus far has shown nothing but short sighted ineptitude.

01 Feb 2012 11:41:30
Read all these posts about not going back while Mr Tight is owner/chairman. I would ask all Rangers supporters whoever is in charge, dont think Ali will stay but to get behind the team and let Whyte. Smith, Russell and Ellis know what we think of them.
The man is a crook and to get season ticket money May 6th, then pay the lloyds bill May 9th and not be able to afford a repayment three weeks later? Hows his other business doing, large investments recently. Your a liar Mr Tight and we deserve the truth.

01 Feb 2012 11:39:25
Rangers are £42 million in debt and that is before the 2 tax cases, one which is £24 million and the other at almost £50 million.

It has been revealed that Craig Whyte, has not spent a penny on the club. He purchased Rangers for £1, sold Rangers' fans season tickets for the next 4 years in advance for £24 million, spending £18million of it to pay off the bank. He didn't use any of his own money to pay off Rangers' debt. It was the fans money. Whyte owns 85% of Rangers shares, which he bought for £1, and now does not owe them anything at all.

Theres no proof he used that money,looks like it,but no proof.

01 Feb 2012 11:30:53
I was willing to give craig sh@@e the benefit until the transfer window shut. but no more. this guy must be got rid of, or we'll end up in an even bigger mess. We must start protesting against this guy, before we don't have a club anymore

01 Feb 2012 11:29:15
we have been left without any strikers! we dont even have any young strikers as back up. we'll have to deploy the famous levein 5 5 zero formation

Aye cos lafferty and healy arent strikers they are both worse than a chocolate teapot.

Healy being the zero?

01 Feb 2012 11:23:14
can the government not step in and investigate whyte ???????

Too busy with your financial shenannigans

01 Feb 2012 11:19:59
With Jelavic Gone and no one else in due to the board refusing to support the manager I’m really hoping this could be Ally’s War Cry to the remaining members of the squad to go and get us 4 in a row. I’m sure Ally won’t walk and the events of yesterday will surely fire him and his team up and they can go out and bring home the silverware and prove all the doubters that without the support of the board he can produce the goods. Looking at the squad after yesterdays in and outs surely our strongest matchday team for the remainder of the season (hoping those that are injured have a quick return and we don’t get any more serious injuries) has to be McGregor, Whittaker, Goian, Bocanegra, Papac, Edu, Davis, Wallace, Aluko, Chelik & Lafferty. Subs Alexander, Healy, McKay, Broadfoot, Bartley, Wylde & Kerkar. If injuries do occur those on the fringes and the youth players need to step up and show us what they are made of as they will play a crucial part in Rangers future.

Its time for everyone to get behind all the players and especially the manger and his team to show Mr Whyte and the rest of the haters that we are Glasgow Rangers and we are indeed Simply The Best even in these torrid times!

Aye thats just fantastic.

01 Feb 2012 11:10:29
In a bid to get the fans off his back, Whyte will give permission to McCoist to give Aluko a long term contract. I think anyway, that's what I would do.

Ahahh that is brilliant. our 50000 aberdeen reject is our saviour.

01 Feb 2012 11:05:30
In the short time Whyte has been involved with Ranhgers he has tarnished our reputation and that of everyone associated with Rangers, so I say it's time for action, mass protests on Sunday for the Cup game then a season ticket holders (and anyone who feels strongly enough) boycott of the Kilmarnock game, this will not greatly effect the club financially, but will send a message to Whyte that we will not allow him to steal our money and further damage OUR CLUB. AngryBear {Ed001's Note - look, let's get this right, all he has done to tarnish the club's reputation is struggle to find the money to pay the bills due to the huge debt the club is in. Is that his fault or Murray's?}

01 Feb 2012 10:53:41
Better enjoy the feeling of being Champions because i think we are destined for years in the doldrums at the hands of Mr Whyte. Forget league titles for the next few years Rangers will be a team looking to snatch the odd cup at best!

It is apparent that any asset will be sold but the worry is we only have 2 players that could generate any money and lets face it Davis and McGregor will probably be shipped out in the summer, and not for large fees.

I would say realistically
Davis 2.5m
McGregor 3.5m

I would put Naismith on the list as well however who is going to pay a fee for a player who has had cruciate ligament operations on both knees!

Before anyone starts saying they are worth more, they are worth what another club is willing to pay as per the Jelevic situation. Rangers are in a weak bargaining position and everyone knows it.

Another cause for concern is our ageing team, by the end of the season - McCulloch 34 Healy 33 Bocanegra 33 Goian 32 Papac 32

We cant keep loaning Kyle Bartley for ever and it is by no means certain Aluko will decide to stay!

These players will need replaced and it looks like we are shopping in the bargain basement for the forseable future!

Im not even going to start on the tax case!

Rant Over!

Hate to say this, but thinks its getting very close to,

back the team -SACK THE BOARD!!

01 Feb 2012 09:36:34
You Know as a Celtic fan today has made me realise something which I didn't think I would ever feel and that is pity for the mess that man whyte has made of your club. I thought the revelations which appeared in the press today would have made me feel more excited and enthusiastic than ever, but you know what they never. In some ways I'm not even interested in whats likely to come out later today. It actually makes me nervous for the whole of scottish football and makes me wonder where our game is going to end up. Your club has cheated the system in a massive way but at the end of the the day all the clubs are going to pay a heavy price for It financially and Craig Whyte has made the prospect of a quick turnaround all the more difficult with his short tenure of the club putting you on the brink of LIQUIDATION as oppossed to administation which would have been at worst a points deduction. Liquidation brings a whole new concept to the situation and spells a difficult time for Scottish football as a whole. If A. Johnsons grasp of the situation puts you somewhere in the region of £42M in debt now, what possible chance have you got if and by all account going by his interview today and the tone of his voice you lose the tax case which I get the feeling he knows you have there will be no RFC. Liquidation is the only outcome from that scenario where does that leave the game in our country. SDM has alot to answer for but Whyte has taken the club further into the abyss than they ever had to be. Lloyds sanctioned the Jelavic transfer despite the debt which tells you that although the debt was there they were not overlly concerned that it couldn't be repaid. Whyte has spent next to nothing and increased the debt 3 fold in 7 months, need I say any more. The worst of It is that he's already spent the season ticket money for years to come so boycotts etc are a waste of time It only makes the situation worse. I just hope there is a Knight in shining armour out there cause its the only chance Scottish football has.I just wonder how many of you lot would feel the same way if the shoe was on the other foot, maybe thats what makes us different.

Mark67 {Ed001's Note - why are you all so intent on blaming Whyte? Murray mortgaged the season tickets, Murray put the club in huge debt, Murray failed to pay HMRC etc etc. It is far too early to know whether Whyte is a good thing or not, but he certainly is not at blame yet. Even City's oil sheikh would struggle to save Rangers right now, but the first thing any businessman would do is put off all the bills for as long as possible. Whyte has done that. The second thing to do is to reduce outgoings, reducing staff wages as a part of that. Again Whyte is doing that. So far he has yet to show any signs of doing anything that isn't standard business operating practice.}

He's put the club in more debt than they were when Lloyds were running the show, do you think they would have sanctioned running the the debt to 42M which it is at the moment and with no capital to run on a day to day basis your as bad as the rest of the ostriches. The guys a crook and he's sold scottish football down the river.

Mark67

Don't get me wrong Ed, Murray made a complete mess of things in terms of the EBT and the debt but He wasn't running the show at the end of the day the bank was and the debt was managable. Who in their right mind would mortgage the next 3-4 years of season ticket money in order to get the club by. Johnson said the most they ever borrowed was 5M and that was repaid within 6 Mnths. And as for the wage bill, Whyte increased the wage bill after the first transfer window then obviously realised when Europe was out the window the wage bill was not sustainable on the income that was coming in. Remember the renewed contracts etc and the 6 or so signings, who of any note left the club in the summer transfer window to reduce the wage bill that was already by whytes own admission 10M over what It should have been.???????????Businessman my Ar*e, Conman< you decide,Murrray sold the club cause the bank wanted out and whyte was the only one interested, makes you wonder why when theres alot more businessmen out there who could have stepped in had they seen an oppportunity. The bottom line is there was no opportunity to make money and keep the club afloat. If RFC lose the tax case they will go into Liquidation thanks to the increase in debt accrued by Whyte in the last 7 Mnths.

Mark67 {Ed001's Note - the problem was that the wage bill was increased in expectation of players being sold to reduce it again. He gambled on it, hence the stories of bids in for players, it was to try and stir up interest in them so they would get bids.}

Seems to me he gambled on quite alot EUROPE sale of players but at what cost to the rest of the Scottish clubs, he's not only taken Rangers for a ride he's Gambled on the future of the whole of Scottish football. Time will tell but I have a feeling the repercutions of Craig Whyte s takeover will be death Knell to Scottish Football as a Whole and It may be that many clubs other than Rangers will feel the affects for years to come If they are still in exsistence.

its all good and well us gers fans saying get whyte out but then who's left to pick up the pieces. nobody is prepared to come in and save this sinking ship. millions of rangers fans around the world yet no one prepared to come and rescue us. i wish to god i had the money!

01 Feb 2012 09:21:24
Cant understand this one fellow bears, West Ham have a bid of around £7 million rejected as its not enough then he signs for Everton for £5.5 million or am i missing something.

More up front from everton so that whyte can book his holidays for the summer

Yes, you're missing a brain. West Ham DID NOT make a bid for Jelavic.

Could be everton offered more money up front than west ham

01 Feb 2012 09:17:38
Percy's, will Jelavic still get his league winners medal he won in November?

It says on the conspiracy page the world is ending on the 21st of Dec, you would think it has ended on 1st of Feb the way people are going on, its a football club get over it, worst case is 3rd division, 3 years of pain and we will be back, I'm surprised no one knew what Mr tight was up to, who buys a club with a 49 million tax case hanging over them? Anyone with any sense knew this day was coming, to many fans have done nothing and its the so called REAL FANS I blame, when anyone questioned whyte on here we weren't real fans, so what is a real fan? Someone who let's a chairman piss on them or the ones who were right all along?

The gers grim reaper

Maybe whyte is a believer of the world is going to end in december so he isnt investing in anything haha Possible

I really think it is time for us Rangers fans to stand up, and stand out against this charlatan that is destroying our club. He has promised the earth and delivered nothing, and in the meantime he is slowly but surely creaming all he can from the top. Players out, wages freed, one player in, money from mortgaged off season ticket sales, he has duped us time and time again. And every time he just uses the jedi mind trick equivalent of the shaggy number 'it wasn't me'. Its always a media spin, or a media storm. But the truth is the man is ruining our club. And I for one, will not be buying a ticket this sunday, and will not renew my season ticket for next year. I do believe in Ally, and I love my football team, but you cannot ask fans to plough money in, to watch substandard football every week, with no prospect of seeing any new excitement in the future. The only way we will ever progress now is if we get rid of whyte! CRAIG WHYTE, GET OUT OF IBROX WHILE YOU CAN, BECAUSE IF YOU LET US SINK IT'LL BE THE LYNCH MOB. {Ed001's Note - are you for real? How else do you reduce a debt if you don't reduce running costs? The club runs at a huge loss, if costs aren't reduced it will disappear. That means players have to go.}

The administrators would run the club better than sh1tehawks whyte....trueblue.... {Ed001's Note - how do you figure that out? They wouldn't bring in any players, free agents or not, that would be a definite. They would sell every player they got a reasonable offer for, without questioning if they are needed for the rest of the season. They would negotiate more time to pay bills etc. Seems to me there would be very little difference, because Rangers are already in that much trouble they are having to suffer drastic measures.}

ED .. With all the cost cutting that has been taking place .. Squad reduced to a ridiculously small size and players brought in who should not be on a large salary .. how can we STILL be losing money. Campare our squad and wage bill to the mhob across the city ! They have about 4 players for every position and some to spare .. are they really raking in SO much more money every year (with or without Europe) that they can make a profit while we are making losses of millions year on year? NOTHING LEFT TO CUT! {Ed001's Note - because they weren't forced into huge amounts of debt by a previous owner. Murray has mortgaged everything he could and left the club in an extremely perilous position. Until some of the burden of debt is removed, the club is in serious trouble. But it is difficult to raise the cash to pay down the debt while having to make the payments on it. Especially when there is nothing left to mortgage! It is a similar position to the one Liverpool were in under Gillett and Hicks, the income is less than the outgoings, so debt just grows.}

Towards the end of the Murray regime, fans displayed banners such as "No Boyd, No Goals, No Title" and "We Deserve Better". We have been extremely tolerant of Whyte since he arrived. We need to start making it clear we will not put up with this any longer. Our Club is sliding to oblivion ... only the fans who actually love this Club can save it.

Starting on Sunday ... let's make it clear that WE are Rangers Football Club.

Surely there must be enough high profile people out there who dont want to see our Club die? Ex players such as Hateley or Johnstone. We need someone to take the lead and make contact with high profile businessmen (Paul Murray, Jim McColl, Donald Park, etc) who would pull together their resources and create a consortium to save our club!

There must be enough ex players who claim to love our club and have made a good living from being an "ex Rangers player" who would be willing to come together and make a stand against Whyte and the way the club is being run to extinction!

The other mhob were vocal in their campaign to rid their club of their board before McCann saved them at the 11th hour.

I fear we are beyond the 11th hour .. and there is no one on the horizon to save Glasgow Rangers!

Remember .. you are a Ranger for life. Rangers are in your heart, in your blood and in your veins.

If we have to stand outside Ibrox on Sunday at full time .. let's do it and let's make ourselves heard.

No One Likes Us ..! So we have to come together and Save Ourselves. We cant rely on someone else doing it for us.

RTID! {Ed001's Note - I am sorry, but I just don't understand what you all expected? You knew the club was deeply in financial trouble, since Whyte has taken over you have seen even more financial mismanagement, on the part of the previous regime, come to light. Don't you think it is a good thing that Rangers have not brought in players? Not just that but also got as many highly paid staff off the books as possible to lower the wage bill. The club is in a belt tightening situation, costs have to be lowered, you can't do that by bringing in highly paid players willy nilly.}

01 Feb 2012 08:30:42
Team for Sunday:

McGregor

Bartley
Goian
Boca
Papac

Aluko
Davis
Edu
Wallace

Healy
Kerkar

Now before anyone says anything...Kerkar has been brought on in last two home games and has been used as a striker, I think he deserves a start!

Times are hard, we need people to step up and play!

No matter how hard times are we must all follow in the footsteps of our team!

BazzaBear

There is also Celik (Mervan)!

01 Feb 2012 07:47:33
So yet again Whyte is nothing but a let down. To add insult to injury hes sold the season tickets for the next four years for HIS benefit. i say let your feet do the talking. i wont renew my season ticket whilst Whyte destroys OUR club.
hes a sneaky, rotten, two faced lying scumbag!
WATP - Whyte Again Talking Pish! {Ed001's Note - did he though? He used a system already in place from the previous regime. Why are you screaming at him and not Murray?}

The scheme was in place to borrow a relatively small amount of a short period of time and paid back immediately when enough money from season tickets came in. The scheme was never used to mortgage years of ST in advance and for such a high amount in one go.

That is why no one is screaming at Murray. It is whyte who has severely exploited the scheme.

01 Feb 2012 07:37:51
I'm a Celtic fan but feel the need to comment on the situation.

Whyte is a venture capitalist therefore if he needs to he will strip rangers of all their assets, so far he hasn't. He has went into a club and sold one of their 'assets' which tbh is an absolute dud anyway. It was David Murray that allowed the club to get into the mess its in by years of cheating the tax man and VAT man. Then all the 'real' rangers men that have been removed by Whyte, well they stood idly by taking £200k salaries knowing the club was screwed. David Murray pulled off master strokes in selling cuellar (mediocre) and Hutton (complete and utter dud that's injured more often than Hargreaves) for mega bucks and rather than pay off some debt spends it again. Where is the business sense? He has screwed you.

Mccoist has been given some backing from Whyte, which some may say isn't enough but surely that's the point...there's no money there. His signings have been, by the majority, terrible...Ortiz, Bedoya, McKay, Bartley (another premiership starlet - he never got a game for the one team in England that is notorious for playing his youngsters in the league cup) and I would even say Goian! Never mention the new contracts given to Whittaker, McGregor and the one which he must have over seen last year...Davie Weir. Cash in on Whittaker - he is s**t, McGregor - makes too many mistakes and Alexander is a decent keeper - I know i'd rather have my club stay afloat rather than having two decent keepers (especially one that has just got a new contract and not kicked his own arse) and Weir, as club captain, should have done the decent thing an walked before pushed. He was past it and sat taking money for nothing.

Whyte remind me of Fergus McCann, shrewd and biding his time. He won't invest anything else until he can see the big scale and that's gonna be after the tax case. I agree he is pulling the wool over people's eyes but I think he is trying to prevent a mass riot (which we know you are famous for). He is trying to put a football club back on track and become a business that is breaking even or, hopefully for him, profitable.

He is making no money just now, do you think he is happy at that? A man that was a multi millionaire by 25 is nobodies fool so give him time. So far in my eyes he has been the only one that's started to put the club on the right road. Mccoist's signing haven't, and as far as the boy jagaaer (however you spell it) who says he is good enough for rangers?

Rangers need 4/5 players - a left winger, a right winger, one or two strikers and a right back - that are starters not more squad players that aren't gonna improve the team instantly so why invest? Would you rather see Rangers United or Glasgow Rangers?

All you are going through is gonna be the biscuit tin mentality - thank God for that philosophy! Celtic wouldn't be where they are now without it.

As regard the VAT, tax and PAYE he hasn't paid since he took over...why would he? They owe two debts for each area effectively...pre Whyte and post Whyte. Either way they can't afford the debt so of Whyte owes in missed payments for talking sake £3m and Murray owed £20m he is surely thinking well if I don't pay I'm keeping the club afloat and if I do pay then it's like throwing a dingy off the titanic!

The problem is the majority of rangers fans, like Celtic, are narrow minded, stupid and ignorant and don't understand these things.

Give Whyte a chance cause he was the only one out there that was willing to take the risk. You gave Murray long enough to royally shaft you and seemingly walk away without a mark against his name!

Hopefully you'll post this.

P33 PEZ(nothing derogatory just my user name which is also my private reg)

Cheers and good luck.

Fair comment here with a lot of logic. You can't have it both ways; get stability and back on an even financial keel and at the same time buy players, especially expensive ones.

I have aside before - scouting Europe youth players and other continents combined with top class "coaching" of our current youth squad is at least a short to medium term way forward.

If we strip away the pressure that obviously comes with being Rangers - look at the example that St Mirren, St Johnstone, Falkrk and some others can set by letting youngsters do their thing - let talent have some air to breathe.

A strong day at the office for Rangers. 5.5 mil for Jelavic (glad we passed up on the 9 mil we were offered before and the other better offers we were told we had). That is 1.5 mil profit. minus wages. We came up against a powerful hibs to beet us for the Hundurian player also. Hibs would have been his obvious choice, I am sure. We came close to signing a Norwich dud but he was holding out for a move to the confrence league for more money. Kyle Hutton out on loan, makes sence as we have got too many strikers fit right now so best to give him a chance at Dumfermline. Jordan Mac gone, not that we needed cover at right back as Broadfoot and Whitts will be back in the next 8-10 weeks. Durrant was spotted down at the 50 pitches trying to secure some talent on a pay per play deal based on minutes on the field, but Possil YM scouts were also there and secured all the signatures.

I think we should get a big massive loan out secured on the future income just to make things as bad as they can get. Why not sell Sh@ggar for 750k also and bag some cash.

5.5 mil for Jela and we buy players from Hearts for 1.5 mil? I see we are just as bad as ever in the transfer market. We have to be the worst team commercially in the whole of footbal.

Not a happy rangers fan today.

01 Feb 2012 04:35:09
Just watched the video on STV of ally leaving Ibrox after his meeting with Craig Whyte. He looked furious and rightly so (stuck between a rock and a hard place.)
Does he stay for the sake of the club he loves and allow these charlatans to continue to hang him out to dry or does he walk away. True Rangers legend I know he is hurting as much as the rest of us who hold the rangers in our hearts.

01 feb 2012 03:48:20
no money.but bid rejected from norwich..not amused..r.t.i d...gutted whitey r.f.c..the show must go on*****

That bid was made in the knowledge it would be turned down immediately, imo.

01 Feb 2012 02:11:45
Whyte should be applauded for trying to sort out the mess we are in, why would we sign players when we cant afford to pay their wages. its time to cut back I would rather lose the league than the club become extinct and ally signed alot of guff in the summer who's to say he woudn't sign guff again he may be a rangers man but he is not up to the job.

01 Feb 2012 01:19:36
I'm a Celtic Supporter, proud out of it. it gives me no great pleasure in seeing any club suffering like yours is at the minute but the warning signs were on the cards for years. Boumsong on near £50,000 a week when he was with ye. Murray is a disgrace and it goes to show you that not only was he a bigot but also a m� f�iner. Its an absolute disgrace and I agree with one rangers' supporter's remark. The only way for ye to come back from this mess is for the fans to take control of the club itself. Celtic came back from the financial mess of the late 80s-mid 90s. I dont see why you can't do the same. Until then, SPL Title will be in Parkhead for the foreseeable future.

Agree with some , but I believe rangers will won title again this year without jellyfish ? Big marvin Andrews words "keep the faith" rangers will have 2 loan players tomorrow

You are a pathetic excuse for a human if your taking great pleasure in what is happening to the gers how bitter

Wullie

And yet it the title stays at Ibrox then it's a complete embarrassment to the green side of Glasgow and the sweetest league title in the history of Glasgow Rangers.

Quote "SPL Title will be in Parkhead for the foreseeable future."
You's need to win it first

And you had better hope we come back too make else your lot is obviously done too as any fool can see. Kinda surprising all the dhimwits on here day after day crowing and embarrassing themselves and their own club (no change there though) can't see that when they talk about all the "ostriches" in Govan. More than a few in the east of the City too if you honestly can't see where this is going to put you considering how bad the standard of the league is already. WAKEN UP AND STOP COMING ON HERE BLOWING YOU MORONS.

01 Feb 2012 00:58:22
Ryt am a rangers fan and I'm glad we didn't get anybody it's about time Healy and lafferty earn there corn. Yip we needed more fire power but maybe time for lafferty to shine. Jelavic was average and didn't wana play for us. The tax case needs sorting then worry about the league we need all the money we can get ours hands on. The manly mob ain't much better then will bottle it and if we win the league it will be a master stroke by whyte so let's just get behind team and help bring the league home no surrender we cry so lets not do it nown

Lafferty is injured for another month mate

I think you are in dream land mate.that is a year healy has been at the club and he has only scored 3 times and lafferty is injured for at least the next month.what happens if healy picks up a injury.yes jelavic wanted to leave but can you blame him,whyte has been trying to sell him since he came to the club.

I think you are forgetting that Lafferty has one good game in 8 or 10...

Are you nuts? Have you just been released from carstairs? We have no chance of winning the league, whyte and master stroke should never be in the same sentence.

Aye right lafferty and healy what a deadly strike force.
ones a big donkey who cant score and the other is a wee guy whos best days are way way behind him and cant score

The scary thing for Celtic right now is that when we win the league again what can they possibly complain about? They have twice the number of players we have and yet are only 1 point ahead?? They should be 20 ahead with the troubles we have been landed with this year. God help them when the Tax case falls, because they have nothing else to fall back on.... Oh aye it'll be the Refs, SFA, Bigots, Lennon etc who'll be to blame for their team of donkeys losing another title.
We will always we the best team in Scotland.

01 Feb 2012 00:51:02
Can anybody remember the rumour about that whyte didn't want ally as gaffer in tye 1st place? maybe this is whytes plan to try and frustrate ally to the limit of him walkin, then he can get his own gaffer in and then give what the fans want? to me it could be a possibility though, cos tbh if whyte was everything the papers made him out to be then obv SDM isn't that stupid to sell our proud club to just a random. remember how long it took to sell us to him so whyte must have something interesting to have in his CV. this is my opinion though, even though things sound bad etc etc but as the saying goes � It will get worse before it gets better�. (Loyal Bear)

Your kidding yourself son craig whyte is bad news.

Haha, brilliant, the ultimate in optomism!

01 Feb 2012 00:19:27
Christ what a mess. The only guy willing to save us would appear to be playing fast and loose. The manager can't access funds to strengthen his team due to cash flow problems. We have large debts and potentially further fatal liabilities.Our rivals are revelling in our misery. We lost our top scorer. Yet we are the current champions, we sit second in the league 1 pt behind, we have a new striker in mervyn, whatever the future brings we are Rangers, however bad it gets we will never surrender. So to you doubters, grow a pair, face the new Dawn and get behind the team.

Mervan '''is not''' a striker.....you might want to believe he is, but NO, he's not a striker

The situation at Rangers, reminds me so much of when we had our shyster owners. The unnamed poster is absolutely spot on. Get behind Ally and your players and give no-less than 100% support, I know I will. I thought Ally looked a bit frustrated tonight, leaving Ibrox. Wouldn't blame the guy if he decided to step down, but that would make it worse for your club and Ally knows it.

Rangers results are always the 1st one I look out for, after LFC.

Good luck for the season and the future, I fear your going to need it.

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96

Sorry to say but I would blame him if he stood down. He knew how bad it would get money wise this year. He picked up the junk players at the start of the season. He would have been better off without the likes of McKay, Ortiz etc.

01 Feb 2012 00:09:40
Don't know if you realise it but at least Craig White has the bottle to do the things necessary to ensure your survival .Without him , the probability is not administration but extinction .Time to bite the bullet and look to thefuture .You are meant to be Rangers supporters not anti Celtic babies .It's a hard world out there .

Paddy Malarkey

F@ck off, he is putting us into admin, has had no thought of anything else - why?, because that is the only way he can make money

Has everyone forgot that paul murray and dave king wanted to buy the club so craig whyte was not the only person to want rangers.it would have been alot better if they had taken over at least we would have had true rangers supporter in charge,not a motherwell supporter kidding on he supports rangers just to a quick buck.

31 Jan 2012 23:45:33
Well it's that time again, end of another window and I must say I'm not just as disapointed as the last one but also so worried about the state of this once great club.
Murray should receive the same fate as that clown Goodwin, he should also be brought to task about the mess he has left to a historical institution.
As for Whyte, did any sensible fan expect anything less, I feel so silly staying up with the hope that something might happen, that something would be pulled out of the bag, but nothing. not even a trialist signed.
We have one fit striker who should be nowhere near the first team and have just sold our main goal threat, but still nothing.
Whyte, now is the time to come clean and state why you paid a pound for us.
What is your plan, if any?
To me, you have gambled with my club, firstly thinking European money was a given, then selling your fanbase down the river by using the majority of the next 4 seasons worth of ticket revenue as security for the money you obtained, where is it?
It is you who should be front loaded, on to the next flight to the bermuda triangle.
I was very sceptical through out but was always willing to give you time to improve our club, you failed and will receive no further financial backing from me as i neither trust you or have any faith in your ability to lead this club.
Whatever way we look at it, it looks like being a long road, and if the worst happens, we start again, we will always remember the good times.
But fans of Rangers, we must act, get this cretin out of our club now, he has not only treated two legends with total contempt. but has treated us, the fans as total mugs, though some are, most aren't and should not stand for this.
I'm now going to calm down and forget about football for a few weeks as i'm sickened.
I hope as much dirt as possible comes to light regarding Mr whyte and I believe there is a huge pile ripe to be dished.
BR

Historical institution sorry buddy youse are only a football club ,as with all football clubs you have a history some of it good some of it bad, and history tells us football clubs do go out of business and it looks very much like thats the end game for whyte all this faith and trust in whyte should have asked deeper probing questions about the man rather than blindly listening to the propaganda spouted out by the laptop loyals who has done your club and fans a huge disservice

This post is aimed at Rangers fans, not the likes of you.
One question, if we manage to hold on until the end of the season and win the league(probs more chance of me winning lottery) but at this time we are only 1 point behind,where do you lot go from there?

hi ed would just like to see what u think on the supposedly 9million offer we knocked back at start of season i think its been pure and utter garbage and think that waiste of space lawell was correct in mocking this saying it was a load of nonesence what u think fellow bears i cant beleive we have healy as our only fit striker a would prefer colin nish no joking {Ed003's Note - There was never a £9m bid in the summer}

in the words of big marvin andrews have faith keep believing i have faith and i willl never give up hope stand with each other bears let's see it out in the style that rangers fans should

No bendiksen

Think you will find Bendiksen went back to Norway and Darren Cole is on loan at Partick Thistle

Ed why did u remove the no surrender at the end of the post ? and plz dont say its sectisum cuz its not {Ed001's Note - it doesn't matter what it was known for in the past, it has become associated with sectarianism now. Just like the swastika has become tainted by association with the wrong people, so has no surrender I am afraid.}

Andy Little has never played striker for Rangers, he started old firm game at ibrox at right back, ''' BENDIKSEN left 3 weeks ago''' (where have you been) whittaker, broadfoot,hemmings, ness, lafferty, naisey all out injured , some long term. mc kay cant make the bench against Arbroath, Bedoya not quoted

Ok sorry ed not gonna use it again :D

Ed001;well done for spotting that sectarian linked slur. {Ed014's Note - I deleted the thread,not sure how it got through but apologises.

31 Jan 2012 23:53:12
this is a pure joke rangers no signing any1 can anybody tell me if we have a decent striker in the youth setup. Because if healy gets injured who have we got man haha

Andy little

Andy little has started any games for Rangers at right back, even Celtic at Ibrox, he lasted 2 minutes mind you, but was still right back

Yeah, but Little can still play as a striker! Its his natural position! He played under 21 level as a striker and make appearances in the reserves as a striker!

31 Jan 2012 23:01:38
first time postin on here!
Gutted!
How do you explain to your teenage son that the team
weve been goin to see for years has sold our only decent striker an not replaced with anyone?
Shockin totally Gutted.

Thank F*** i gave him the support thru the good & bad times speach wen he was younger!

Bleak Days Ahead...

31 Jan 2012 23:00:06
Time for shareholders to demand an immediate
AGM even if that creates difficulties for the club. White has treated us all like mushrooms and
clearly has never had the money required. Murray said he would not sell to anyone who could not take the club forward; this disaster is his legacy!
I fear we have yet to see the worst. Ally & co should walk rather than be part of the White fiasco.

31 Jan 2012 22:59:41
Let's get Whyte to f***. It is time for RANGERS fans to get our club back and run it our self.

31 Jan 2012 22:59:30
Craig whyte today;
Admittedly, there were transfer targets we did not secure but that is not uncommon. As chairman, I have supported Ally McCoist in his choice of targets and will continue to do so. The timing of Jelavic's departure so late in this window is far from ideal and efforts to improve the squad will continue until the transfer window closes.
Total farce and shambolic, just a tad economical with the truth craigy boy.
Can see paddy power paying out soon, suggest you lot that support whyte get your heads out his erse.
