Hi Chaps
Any idea where CW is ? Is he still in
France ? I would think if my business was about
To go T1ts up I would be in the thick of it helPing
Out in any way I could to save my staff
my future and my reputation, no not Mr Sh1te
he is off to his 2 million £ pad in France
While the ship sinks. This guy is a coward
no substance at all. Not fit to govern any of
The unfortunate businesses he has put to the
Wall and never fit to Govern the Famous Glasgow
Rangers.

My father works day and night to keep his
Small business going not taking a wage
week after week. Could any one see CW
Offering to not take a wage or sell the pad in France
And pump the cash into Rangers
I don't think so.

Mr CW can I personally ask you to hand us
The shares you spoke about and all our cash
Back and we the people will rebuild the Rangers
With hard work and dignity and respect for others
However I also ask that you show the same
Dignity and respect and step aside.
If you can't manage this then I would ask
You simply to F xxx off to Baghdad as you
Won't be welcome in Scotland
Ever again .

Lets start to restore our pride in our club.
We must never again have one person
Hold such a large share of the club and have
No accountability for there actions.
Let's get Sir Walter as our figure head
And get the march going and the cash flowing
In to Save and Re build Rangers FC
Bro J

Aye sir walter liked tae spend our money tae
he,s ok in helensburgh no not one person that had anything to do with that debackle should ever darken our door stay away walter we have no money left tae spend ...les

Watch the news he was in London yesterday

On radio clyde tonight they mentioned having Walter Smith as head of some sort of consortium leading the way . What people seem to have forgotten is that Walter spent quite a bit of the monies that have lead to the situ RFC now find themselves in .Also Would Walter as manager not know the every day goings on at the club he worked at ?.Maybe not a fit and able person TTTS?.

This post must be another Tim, Walter smith spends the money given to him like any other manager, outside jock stein Walter smith is best ever to manage an old firm team.

If the manager is given a transfer budget he would normally spend it. The manager will not be involved in business decisions or decisions on how to pay players.

Remind me how much did the wee general spend?

Walter smith was a much better manager than stein

As a fellow ger get a grip stein done it all

Did anyone else hear Radio Clyde talk in tonight where one of the panel stated that the spl rule is if any club is liquidated and reformed they must start in 3rd division but he is 100% sure Rangers will be invited to stay in the SPL because no rangers means no TV deal

General consensus from media is an invitation to be readmitted into the SPL with penalties. There have been demands from a couple of septic bloggers and their sheep to block this. Septic are only one voice and vote in the SPL and turkeys don't vote for Xmas.

Rules are rules get them out you can't move the goalposts especially for cheats! The sky deal works out at £1.6m per team per season although I know the old firm get slightly more than the other 10. If for talking sake Celtic get £2m a year then all they do is sell a top player for £6m that's three years tv money until the manky mob make their way back up the leagues. Tv deal back on when the smell returns. As for the other teams they will just have to cut their cloth and knuckle down.

Typical Septic fan only concern is for themselves one objective dominate Scottish football at all costs a spl with no rangers will result in weaker teams excluding septic Septic do not care about the quality of the opposition. heres a question to septic fans over the last few years your board have spent enough money to compete with Rangers (unsuccessfully may i add) you have bought some good players Kayal,izaguire,hooper,stokes, wanyama, to name a few paid them decent wages, do you honestly think that your board will spend the same level of money and pay the same level of wages to compete with motherwell,St mirren ,Dundee Utd etc i seriously doubt it. the standard of player Celtic buy will drop resulting in even worse European runs( look how well you done with half decent players) this in turn would impact on the quality of player you could attract. i have some really good friends that support septic and they are mature enough to realise no rangers will have a big impact on Celtic. not financially i agree but in football terms defiantly.

In my opinion there are a good few players we need rid of at ibrox anyway so why not man up and voice your views on who you would like to see out the door my no 1 would be....
whittaker he cost us millions in cl money then blew the eroupa ada all after being handed 25k a week thats 100k a month or one million two hundred thousand per week.
bedoya.. is he still here?
healy... worth nothing and must be on at least 10k a week thats 540k per year.
then theres mculloch again worth nothing and probs on 10 15k per week.
there are players we could get rid of here and it would in my opinion give the young boys on the fringes the chance to prove once and for all if they have got it or not.. agree / disagree??.

I think your a bit harsh on big jig, the guy was very good in the uefa cup run to the final and has won the league every season he has been here, also supports rangers and is willing to play for free!

J

Big jig has been a great signing.

Exactly! Mentioned this a while back about the big man! Hero!

So Editor dude; if Rangers are going to have to sack some players tomorrow, who do you think will go? I'm hearing it will be (at least) Papac, Healy, Kerkar, Bedoya, Aluko, McCulloch - anyone else got any knowledge? I am gutted, perhaps with the exception of the under-used Bedoya, these guys always give their all for the team. Apparently Rangers can still sell players to clubs in countries where the transfer window is still open? {Ed001's Note - it will be the players who are out of contract in the summer and any older players on high wages. In other words all the ones that can't be sold for much. The club will also accept offers for all players.}

01 Mar 2012 21:00:51
i seem to have rattled a few cages here Ed first of all to everyone jumping on the band wagon i did not state all celtic fans were patronizing i named the usual suspects and to the rest of you celtic fans that believe i was referring to you i truly most sincerely apologize as for the ones i named i still feel the same. as mulder and scully would say The Truth Is Out There (the celtic banter page)


highland bear

Your right bear, to show how much sympathy they have for us simply go on Celtic rumours. I appreciate that some time want to give us some sympathy but thanks but no thanks the day I need a Celtic man to raise my spirits it will be a cold day in hell the bear

Bitter and ungracious to the end.

Im pretty sure our sympathy was not intended for you two losers.to the decent gers;good luck guys with these two plonkers you might need it............green jhedi

For those in denial about the overall debt in the SPL , this was a quote from 2009, so unless I am living in a parallel world the situation has worsened however read what this guy said then:
As the administrator who steered Motherwell and Clyde through troubled waters - Clydebank were less fortunate - Bryan Jackson can boast 28 years of experience in football troubleshooting.
An insolvency partner with PKF, he can offer no comment on the situation concerning Rangers for professional reasons, but says of the general picture facing the Scottish game: 'It's an unprecedented time. The credit crunch will begin to affect sponsorship and, for the smaller clubs in particular, that will make it more difficult to survive.
'It will also affect corporate hospitality because people will eat out less and spend less when they do.
'Then you have ticket sales. The hardcore will grumble about the quality of the product on offer, as they always do. But, ultimately, they tend to renew, anyway. For many people, football on a Saturday is a form of escapism they are reluctant to give up.'
The irony in all this is that most of our clubs had finally begun to make inroads into their debts. Rangers aside, most other SPL clubs reduced their liabilities to some degree in the last financial year.
'Clubs had finally begun to budget properly and realised they could no longer rely on a cup run or on finishing 11th in the league,' points out Jackson.
'Those measures had got the clubs back to break-even point. Now that people are spending less and clubs can go up no more, they have a new challenge to face. The clubs with high levels of historic debt could be back in danger.' 
Prophetic indeed from 2009.

The 7 who refused pay deduction . Order their taxi just now they not rangers men. Time to say tata kenny bluenose

No such thing as rangers men, its people like the de boer brothers you should be blaming 50k a week

01 Mar 2012 20:10:25
Would like fellow bears thoughts on this possible scenario, if Rangers goes into liquadation and we have to form a new Rangers (will break my heart) and given that the rest of scottish football is delighted about this scenario and that Celtic have already said that they dont need Rangers, why would we want to start over again in the Scottish 3rd division? I say get out of Scottish football altogether leave Celtic and other clubs to their fate, and we apply to join the English league structure. We apply to start in the Conference league and take it from there, im sure their clubs would welcome the increased intrest and revenue. After all it would take 3 years to come through the scottish league system, by that time we could be potentially be in the championship.

I for one agree with you if we must start again after Liquidation we should do it in the English lower leagues,as you stated Celtic and the majority of spl clubs say they dont need us so even if we are invited to stay in the spl we know that its not for the love of the club its for the revenue we bring. i say if we liquidate we apply to England.

Highland Bear

" I say get out of Scottish football altogether blah!blah!blah!", " we apply to join the English league structure blah! Blah! Blah!"." We apply to start in the Conference league blah! Blah! Blah!" DREAM ON NODDY! England had their fill of you lot four years ago Why the hell would they want you there every other week Zzzzz.....Zzzzz......Zzzzzzz

That is the last resort, we should fight to keep our history till the end which is liquidation. Then if every avenue is exhausted we have to look at that choice not until. Yes I agree rather than crawl to that nest of vipers in the spl board I would prob favour England playing our home games at ibrox of coarse. But we don't throw our identity and history away easily we fight to keep it and all that entails the bear

It wouldn't be the Conference but lower or do you arrogantly believe you can deny an English club of its place? Why don't you check where AFC Wimbledon started.

Did you not hear the Keith Harris interview the EPL don't want Rangers or Celtic the comment was "thats what hadrian's wall was built for" (to keep them out). Also dont think England would want the bile that comes with either side of the old firm.

What did Orville say?

01 Mar 2012 19:25:06
Sorry fellow bears but I still believe
that Ally has strung us fans along and
knows a lot more than we think.

Listen mate the reason that players release has been delayed is because of super fighting tooth an nail for them and for us! Will he win the fight? No probably not but at least he's trying... What more do you think he nos? That we are heading linford Christie speed towards liquidation? Everyone nos that mate!
PaulRFC

No i must disagree with you i think super ally knew as much as the fans did which is praticllay nothing i think when ally said before the januray transfer window opened that he had targets of players he wanted to bring in to the club i think he was genuine and then whyte was just agreeing to with mcoist just for the sake of not needing to say the extent of of the financial damage there actually was then as whytes favroute thing to do is lie and bring nobody in

now for the blue knight consortium i very much welcome the idea i believe they will get us back on to an even terms financially it will take a while for rangers to get back to where we want it but we can do it now anybody who hasn't got tickets for the game in Saturday i would say quick there nearly sold out and lets get ibrox bouncing on Saturday

lets support super ally and the players

Of course he does

here is a message to the Likes of Timalloy,Green Jhedi,Miko,Lubo etc

dont come on here giving us your false sympathy all you are doing is patronizing us. you dont fool anyone with your fake good luck messages. keep sticking the Knife in bhoys but believe me your words dont hurt anymore compared with what is happening to our great club you words are just a mere irritation at worst.

as for you fellow bears if you want to see what these mugs really think take a look over on the septic pages and see what these half wits are really posting.

most of these guys are just like that diddy lawwell they just want Septic to dominate Scottish football regardless of the quality of opposition and they are well aware that will never happen as long as the Glasgow Rangers are there to stop them


Highland Bear

What an idiot! This is a banter page mate. I sppose you have never wound up a tic fan during 9 in a row or after a league win. We want Celtic to dominate, regardless of the opposition, as you lot did back in the 90s. When it comes to the stage where people are losing their job then we are allowed to be serious. Get that chip of your shoulder and stop giving your club a bad name

What a joke highland bear,like everything in football we disagree but real life would not wish it on any1,i would say one of my warmest memories was mccoist n smith puttin wreath down for tommy burns,would you say that patronizing,or would you think sum of us are enjoying banter but not at all anything but best of wishes to any1 losing job,

Like this post?

"morning ghuys and mrs e.just heard the news from ipox.i really think noise up's should be cancelled today as gers fans i know have realised that liquidation is now very real.remember how we felt when it was us? lets show a bit of class and understanding.people are losing jobs here.players should be ok,but if it starts to cut in to the ordinary workers thats sore.seven players refused a wage defferall.i hope they can live with themselves............green jhedi"

1903

Highland bear - grow a pair and grow up. Sure we are gloating but the end game is nigh for the Gers. No-one likes to see Joe Public losing their jobs. The players, if they have skills, will be alright in the long run. The younger players will struggle to get picked up by a decent club. Its not the fault of CFC that you are where you are. Scottish football will recover, as will rangers in whatever form they re-emerge as. No-one to blame but yourselves...and thats the gods honest truth.

Bankie Bhoy

Have to agree, the people he mentioned at the start of the post aer ALWAYS 24/7 on the rangers page they need to get a grip.

Shame on you Highland Bear,you are a disgrace to your fellow fans,there are genuine Septic fans as you call us who actually have sympathy for your club,but when anything bad is said about your fans we are referring to people like you,i support Celtic but my son supports Rangers and he is heart broken just now,so not all of us are being patronizing but genuine about our sympathy for your club,if you read down the page you will see more than 4 Celtic supporters wishing yous all the best,and to be honest i wish this whole mess would come to a conclusion and put my sons mind at ease and fellow Rangers fans who are feeling the same.MACCA

Highland Bear, feel free to look on CELTIC (please spell properly) and you will see I posted sympathetic post over there also. Nothing fake about it.
I admit we Tims have had our moments of fun, but it is a Banter (look up meaning) site. But I saw how my nephews reacted, and now ordinary workers being sacked, because of slimy businessmen at Rangers, that is wrong.
But it is the silly watp attitude of people like you who turn all of Scotland against you. Accept sympathy with good grace or walk away. Timalloy

'Diddy' Lawell, good one mate. If only Rangers had a diddy like him in charge perhaps you wouldn't be on the verge of oblivion. Put your bitterness to one side and understand that when you go to an Olf Firm game we all yell and scream at the other end despite the fact that many of our mates are in the opposing end but when full time is up we return to being friends and accept the banter

Highland Bear , i don't know how old you are and if you supported Rangers through the 90's, i can tell you the gloating coming out of ibrox was unrelenting in those times, you were signing proven international players for millions of pounds while Celtic were signing bargain basement players, your chairman was joining in the gloating by coming out with quotes about Rangers will always be bigger than Celtic (you know the quote i mean)biscuit tins were also mentioned regularly, so i suggest you stop throwing the toys out the pram and face the facts that your team is doomed because of your years of overspending, and don't expect an ounce of sympathy from anyone else in scottish football. Cheerio Rangers and Good Riddance........Stevie

Your right I hope you do go out the game I despise everything your club has ever stood for and I like many fellow celts won't miss you. I hope that wasn't to patronising for you and hope this doesn't spoil whatever you highland people get up to on a Thursday night. Ta ta

@1903; thanks for posting that mate.as soon as the job cuts were announced was the time to behave with some feeling.good luck to all the decent gers fans in getting whyte out. highland bear; long suspected you were some kind of fool.proof supplied..............green jhedi

“just like that diddy lawwell they just want Septic to dominate Scottish football regardless of the quality of opposition and they are well aware that will never happen as long as the Glasgow Rangers are there to stop them”….funny, obviously you haven’t been watching what is going on at your club cause what you said is what rankers did and is why they are in this position, for they spent what they didn’t have (and had deals made maybe) to win.

Celtic fans feel sorry for the lost of jobs, but not for the position that your club put itself in and that is why on our page we have banter of how it came about and not laugh at the cuts. It is sad to know that you can’t take well wishes from Celtic fans, we may have different views on things but I hope that agreeing the honest peoples job lost is wrong and show that the 2 clubs could unite on something and start a change.

I do realize that their is some genuine Celtic fans out there with genuine well wishes but if you look at Green Jehdi post above about then go over to the celtic banter page he is encouraging all Celtic fans at the next OF game not to buy Pies/crisps or even a bovril just to make sure we go into liquidation. if thats the way he feels then fine all im saying is be consistent man,


Highland Bear

As previously stated in another similar post, if banter upsets you so much and you cant BEAR any critisism of your club, or genuine sympathy. DONT COME ON! ........SIMPLE AS THAT ...... JS

Won't Rangers' pie and crisp money be going to another company as part of the catering deal?

Anyway, didn't those comments on the Celtic page come before the sympathetic comments - before today's stories about job losses?

@highland bear;the post you refer to was done BEFORE the sackings were announced.of course i want rangers to have it as hard as possible,im a tim! that it has hit the fan,things are different.the players will be ok,in a lot of cases they will get a nice signing on fee,my sympathy is for the cleaners,tea ladies,laundry workers etc.try and listen.i did not want or expect you to liquidate,just pay the penalties you get.my mates are decent gers fans not WATP,,bigots,why would i take pleasure in them losing their team?..........green jhedi

01 Mar 2012 19:01:05
Should get rid of the shirt and tie mob first

01 Mar 2012 18:40:28
If we go down scottish football is all but finished no sky tv deal for one!Celtic would have to reduce price of season tickets no old firm game!more clubs would go down due to no Rangers travelling support,any Celtic fan who thinks they will be ok are dreaming,they could always go to Ireland as they will never get in the Premiership..

I think we have more pressing problems to be honest. But it should be noted that whilst we have not honoured our commitment to Dunfermilne look at the consequences of just one match. Spl is in peril, Dunfermilne are not the only team on the brink, hell of a lot of debt in the SPL currently. Dark days

Stop talking about Celtic, they are not in a financial mess WE ARE but so many fans only seem to be interested in how this will affect Celtic!

Who cares, if you haven't realised there are more pressing matters at home to be dealt with.

The Pilot!

As a gers fan I'd rather worry about us than Celtic, if we goto the wall I couldn't care less about spl, I will never watch another game and does not concern me anymore.

It wasn't about Celtic it's about scottish football which includes Celtic,I support Rangers and always will,the point was if we go the rest will fall sooner or later.

And my point is I couldn't give a toss about the rest

So you don't care if other clubs go to the wall?

01 Mar 2012 17:34:34
Hey ed I've come up with a solution that will keep everyone happy,here goes. Why don't rangers fans give up their entire ticket allocation for the up coming old firm game and sell all seats to Celtic fans? Tickets sell for say £25 that's a grand total of £1.5m into the coffers not bad for 90minutes of not a lot of effort. Celtic fans are happy as they could see their team win the league as if it were a home game. Rangers fans are happy on two counts 1. They don't see their rivals win the league on their patch. 2. Their club gets much needed money. And finally the Police are happy as this removes any chance of potential trouble. I know there is no such thing as meaningless old firm games but this is probably the closest you could get to that phrase. I know it's off the wall but what do you guys think?

Ill not give my seat up for no celtic fan, i go to support the team!!
FauldsRFC

Or play it at Celtic Park, derisks trouble even further, and you get an extra 10,000 into the ground = £250k revenue.

Why don't we just leave it as it is.hump yous again PRICLESS.

@faults even if it helped your team? Are that bitter?...really? Shame on you for that answer I suppose some folk will never change

Wot u smokin?
Iam Legend

@faults you might not have a team to support soon so that was just a suggestion to help your plight. @ I'm a leg end I'm not smoking anything as yet but I will have few cigars when the the rankers are down.

Eh it's you that suggested it was 'off the wall' I was just interested to know what you were smokin to get you to think that way.

Should be interesting to hear Paul Murray on talksport tomorrow. I'll be surprised if he gives too much away but something.....anything positive that can give us supporters some hope would be much appreciated.

What happened with the interview? I saw on here that he would be on today, was that a mistake?

Don't shoot the guy down bears, yes he was part of the previous board "who got us into this mess in the first place" but he was also the only guy pushing for a bid to rival Craig Whytes.

J1985

Why would anyone invest at the moment, sadly until the big tax case result is announced it would be madness to put money in, it's too late and will only be swallowed up by creditors and taxman with us being no better off. By the time the BTC is decided we may have gone under even if we win it. Feck

He was meant to be on today but he put it off until after the admin announcment that was supposed to be today which is now tomoz ....bigt

01 Mar 2012 16:35:30
According to the BBC tomorrow will see
Rangers with several options one
being 8 players being made redundant
& other high earners taking a 50%
wage cut.

I think the 8 will be along the lines
of

Papac
Healy
Broadfoot
Bartley
Bedoya
Ortiz (still paying half his wages)
Fleck (still paying half his wages)
Hemmings

I think Ally will try and fight to keep
the others who are in danger e.g

Kerkar, Edu ,Aluko, Boca, Goian & McCulloch.

Alexander is needed for cover &
Davis, McGregor, Whittaker, Naismith
Lafferty, etc are seen as sizeable assets

& they will want to keep the likes of
the young scots like Wallace, Perry,
Ness etc.

As for the coaching side Jim Stewart
must be in danger of leaving.

I'm not saying this will happen but its
just my thoughts behind it nothing else.

Never forget WATP..

Wrong... Alexander is not needed for cover if we are desperate... Greegs hardly ever gets injured and we have a good couple of young keepers so Alexander could be the first to go.
PaulRFC

I'd get rid of edu he's been here 2 years to long as it is, that's right get rid of 2 young Scottish players and keep the players from overseas, Boca should go 33 year old with no sell on value.

Big lee an broadfoot got to be 1st 2 out both rank n no sell on value

Dont think aluko will go. I reckon this is why he was not offered a contract, so he was not viewed as an asset.. to be soled.

Just seen peter lawells statement re tickets for the ibrox old firm game. Have to say I believe him, the DR has been at the madam for some time stoking up events and hoping for trouble. To all remember, any trouble and they the DR will revel in publishing it, it's the Scottish media way.

Well said mate.

01 Mar 2012 16:11:39
CELTIC Chief Executive Peter Lawwell has today set the record straight with an open letter to the Daily Record newspaper, following a number of stories concerning tickets for the game against Rangers at Ibrox on March 25.

The open letter will appear on the Daily Record website today (Thursday) and will also be printed in a prominent position in Friday's edition of the newspaper. The letter reads:

Dear Sir,
I am writing with regards to stories which have appeared in the Daily Record over the last few days concerning tickets for the forthcoming match between Celtic and Rangers.

Having not been given the opportunity to comment on these stories prior to them being printed, it is important that Celtic's position is made clear:

� There was no agreement for Celtic to pay in advance for these match tickets. Therefore, the accusation that Celtic �reneged� on an agreement is wrong.

� The actions of Celtic Football Club have not threatened jobs at Rangers. Any suggestion to the contrary is also wrong.

� There is no �bust up�. Indeed we are pleased that yesterday (Wednesday) we received our allocation of tickets for the match from the Administrators of Rangers Football Club.

� We will sell these in the normal manner and will abide by the rules of the Scottish Premier League.

While we have no desire to become involved in the business of any other football club, we felt it very important that we set the record straight and in doing so protect the reputation of Celtic Football Club.

I will believe it when I see it.

Beleive what when you see it???its there in feckin black& white !!,folk like you are still in denial

01 Mar 2012 15:50:10
I think now would b a good tine to restructure our leages maybe 18 teams playing twice 4 gets a bit much,more teams going down = more coming up maybe teams shareing grounds would generate more money say as now play united away 2 tv money say play united away then forfar more teams getting more money,the same 12 bar 1 is dyer time ta start again n tge leaug structure way foreward,

It's funny how now it's nt going well for you it s a good time to restructure

01 Mar 2012 15:16:55
You can say what you want about super as a manager or his team selection or his tactics, this man has proved he is an absolute LEGEND, he is the only one at our club right now who I am certain is hurting as much if not probably more than the fans but he is fighting for us and I don't think that this can ever be taken for granted or underestimated, no matter what happens to our great club SUPER is up there with the best there has and ever will be!
PaulRFC

Durranty will be going through the same pain mate

He still aint a manager he is not guid enough


TB

He had a great record when everyone was fit, its not McCoists fault that Naismith, Whittaker and Lafferty have all missed a lot of the season, and his best striker was sold.

GovanFR

Totally agree GovanFR... He bombed out of Europe on his first try but this seems to be a common theme with recent OF managers, but he is the right guy to be fighting for us at this time...
PaulRFC

I don't know of many managers who have had to go thro what Ally has done in their first appointment.
I am glad that with what's going on a Rangers man is in the managers seat.
We get thro this, then Ally should be kept as Manager. Durranty and McDowall will also be feeling it. I don't think with what has happened you can judge their performance.

If we need to get rid of players before Saturday, we won't have a strong enough team,if even enough players, meaning we will probably get beaten. It's all very well saying get behind the team but we haven't been playing well all season & that's with mainly a full squad, what is it going to be like for the rest of the season ? & what does it matter if we fill Ibrox from now until the end of the season, we still won't pay off the debt. I think this is the end of RFC but we can begin again with a new team & before some idiots say what about our history etc, waken up, HMRC doesn't care about the fans or our history, they just want their money & they will do everything they can to get it.

01 Mar 2012 14:23:53
saverangers.com we need as many pledges as possible tell everyone lets be realistic no one is going to put money into rangers while craig whyte is there but we must be ready you cant espect paul murray dave king and douglas park to go it alone the fans must be the fourth blue knight and no gerning replies about money you dont have to give thousands just donate something.

01 Mar 2012 14:10:03
Celtic fan here,would just like to wish all Rangers fans and employees all the best over the next few days,most of us Celtic fans who were around in the 90s will know exactly how yous are feeling.MACCA

The only thing thats making me one bit happier today is the fact that the celtic fans who are actually true football fans are coming on here giving support at this time. Am sure if we swapped the roles we would be ripping into out friends who were celtic fans. But i think the s**t is really hitting the fan now, and its good to see a sense of understanding rather than a sense of you and us. Cheers for the posts guys. hope the dentist didnt take to teeth out ed.
Don {Ed001's Note - just one out today, and this time the roots weren't fused to the jawbone unlike last time, it actually wasn't so bad. Though I was kind of distracted because the nurse was cute and her crotch was rubbing against my arm as she leant over to help the dentist. I doubt if I would have noticed anything with that distraction!}

Ed you are very very naughty! ;)
PaulRFC {Ed001's Note - she was the one rubbing herself up against me! I am sure she will make some kind of excuse about having to reach over, but I know she wanted me really! ;o) I was more worried that certain things might jump up and that would have been awkward!}

LOL.... That's a thought I didn't want! One that's given me a much needed laugh though! PaulRFC {Ed001's Note - wasn't a thought I wanted, in case the dentist thought it was for her or I was getting off on the pain!}

The Daylate Record, Stun etc get it wrong again!Duff & Phelps to hold press conference this afternoon & no job cuts will be happening until tomorrow, Friday, at earliest as no final decision has been made whether any cuts will be necessary or how many staff will go if there are. Source is stv who have been outside Ibrox/Murray Park all day & have actually confirmed this with administrators, as will be confirmed by them in their press conference today!
As has been said many times before; Unless the administrators CONFIRM what you've heard then it's just a crock of craig whyte!

Any idea when the press conf is mate?

hi ED, do you know what time the administrators are holding a press conference today ? ... jsm {Ed001's Note - I don't sorry, I have literally just got back from the dentist so I am out of touch with what is happening.}

Dentist again ed !? Your a braver man than me mate ;)

A celtic fan here coming in peace! i will admit, like most fans i have had a chuckle to myself over the situation that Rangers find themselves in but i have to say i admire the loyalty and support a lot of rangers fans have shown over the last few weeks! Jock Stein said that football without the fans is nothing and this applies now more than ever. The real fans are the ones that suffer the most, many decent rangers fans like soeme of the guys that post on here deserve better, they deserve the truth. no matter how harsh the truth is they need to know, they need to know what is happening and what the future holds. Owners, Directors, Managers and players come and go with time. Careers in the game are short, being a supporter is a life long commitment so the fans deserve so much more than this!

i for one hope you come through this.

Thanks man. duccablue

SSN Dunfermiline fail to pay players wages due to the fact Rangers have not paid £84000 owed to them as a rangers fan i do really feel sorry for them but it also brings to light that most clubs in the spl need the cash generated from playing Rangers despite lawells comments

Highland bear

@highland bear; they only need it cos they budgeted for it. if there was no rangers they wouldnt assume they would get it.not rangers fans fault though all whyte's......green jhedi

Its going to be a hard day, so a wee saying from a loyal Celtic man to al my many Rangers friends.
"I am wounded but I am not slain. I shall lay me down and bleed a while, then I shall rise and fight again.' That should be the feeling of all of the proper Rangers men. Despite what lawless says this is a sad day for Scottish football

Thank you like the verse says it all go in peace my friend

Disagree how can one disagree I posted it and no bigger a Celtic man than me lawless was wrong fact and i hope rangers rise again fact . It would be boring without rangers fact

For a big celtic man, it seems you don't like lawell lol (LOYAL BEAR)

01 Mar 2012 11:16:29
So its happened.Redundancies of up to eleven players,wage cuts of around 30% for players retained.From a celt i see no point in gloating over other peoples misery.At least the players released will be able to find other clubs and there dznt seem to be any non playing staff being sacked as in these times jobs might have been harder for them to find.As for the seven players who refused a wage defferal,hang your heads in shame! You have been well paid and cant seem to find it in you to help the club and fans who paid your wages,you would have lost NOTHING as the wages would have been paid at a later date.Decent gers fans must be in shock at this shambles,between them Whyte and murray must answer questions.Supporters groups should ask why no scottish media outlets have tried to gain access to murray? noise ups from us? not today.It just would not be right.To all decent rangers fans,good luck,i hope you get your club back from this liquidation gangster............green jhedi

Not saying it correct but who is to say the 7 that refused are the lowest players on the books have looked at foregoing a months salary and looked at their overheads and just could not manage without their pay.

Ian(For every £1 Celtic spend Rangers will pay their creditors 10p)

Thank you for your sentiment much appreciated, one of many true Celtic men who have expressed similar views thank you

Agree with above post, some Celtic fans have shown some class in this situation as they are rational people that know nothing is good about people losing their jobs or Rangers Liquidating.

J

Who are you trying to kid green jedi below is a post you posted on your own manky page so dont come on here with your crocodile tears patronizing us feeling sorry for us anyone who wants to see how this guy really thinks take a trip over to the septic pages and see him for the hypocrit he really is

tonyd

29 Feb 2012 22:52:18
just seen a post on the wake page about not spending anything in the asbestos arena.great idea,i hope we can spread the word and pull it off. not one pie/drink or bag of crisps should be bought.petty?..yes. effective?..deffo.they will feel it,so lets make sure.......green jhedi

@tonyd;and your point is....of course i want things to be difficult for rangers.you will also note this was posted before the sackings threat came true.i have also never wanted rangers to go into liquidation,and never thought they would.my first post today was genuine as nobody wants anybody losing a job,we have been there and had the abuse of gers fans thats the way it is.thats why i feel for the decent gers fans in this situation.no hypocrisy here,i still want you to pay for your actions,but not vanish.as for you i really dont bother,still using "manky septic" grow up.........green jhedi

01 Mar 2012 10:56:38
Can i just ask to all tic fans i.e green jhedi, miko and taco to name but a few......... how did you guys feel when celtic were in a similar situation? obviously different circumstances but the financial side of it? were you scared incase they were no celtic? and what did you all do to try and help, maybe you could all give a wee bit of advice to the decent rangers fans that doesn't want to see our club go down, P.S al start and finish the joke just incase it comes........... �Obviously Pay Your Taxes�....... LOL. lets all put our differences in the drawer for a while atleast and try and unite somehow, but i do appologise about the past with mindless and childish bears back in the 90�s. HOPEFULLY our bears can see its not a funny and laughin matter cos i ain't, and i really do accept criticism from tic fans, cos quite frankly am guessin WE DON'T LIKE THIS SITUATION we are in...THANKS GUYS (LOYAL BEAR)

@LOYAL BEAR; no problem mate this aint time to gloat.sadly things have got to deep now.i posted ages ago that i thought whyte wanted this and you have to say he's been very clever in manufacturing this scenario.rangers are saddled with all the debt as he wanted,making liquidation the most likely way forward.with the tax case result to come,no one will take a chance on losing that and buying at the moment.you just have to tough it out mate.how did we feel when it was us? sick like you.good luck........green jhedi

Green jhedi doesnt come on here to abuse like the rest pal he is 1 of the better 1s


TB

Yeah TB i gathered that myself lol, couple of pourin salton open wound type posts but hey banter eh but you are right green jhedi is one of the better ones!, anyhoo cheers for replyin green jhedi, well i haven't really liked crsig whyte, but I've got to admit i was one of the bears that jumped on the band wagon and thought “woohoo new owner! more money better players etc“ basically lookin at the positives (if they were actually any) but didn't realise well what's goin to happen to this present moment and look what's happened lol, yeah a feel sick everytime a hear rangers on the news or radio because its a certainty that it will be worryin, only one I've heard was the one about the findings of the 6 mill and now i don't think it is really that much good news (LOYAL BEAR) P.S. thanks again for replyin mate after all celtic and rangers fans are best friends somehow but enemies for 4 times out a season lol, maybe “enemies“ is a bit below the belt i appologise.

01 Mar 2012 10:06:53
Getting really sick and tired of all the Celtic fans coming on and saying if you listened to us and we told you this earlier about whyte.

This coming from supporters who booed Fergus mccan.

I also wonder why Celtic park is not a better stadium than it actually is and why Celtic are not bringing in the cream of European players. Because the amount of lawyers, business consultants, analysts and general people with great abilities in the workings of running a company you would think they would be more than willing to offer their money and expertise to the club.

The fact of the matter was Lloyds were going to pull the plug and forced Murray's hand. Whyte duped all the press including those with an agenda against him now. And who is to say this was not all planned out.

Worry about your own club.

Oranjeboom

Worry about your own club after a paragraph about celtic.............nice........green jhedi

Spot on Oranj.

GDog
WATP

What do we have to worry about ? our club OS not going bust or making people redundant and we don't owe any other clubs ticket money,

I can remember those immortal words from Mr Murray , for every fiver Celtic spend we won't pay the tax.

hail hail and god bless you all

Marco1888

Weve nothing to worry about bud, thought we would worry for you lot instead. We will miss you, honest we will. Booed Mccann? When?
Only thing i can think of was we were a tad upset when he punted DiCanio, Cadette etc. But he was proven correct.
Clutching at straws as usual. Why would Celtic Park be a better stadium than it is?
Im more than happy with it, no sign of asbestos anyway,best take a mask to Ibrox next week just to be on safe side.

Joeshmo1888

We have nothing to worry about reguarding our great club. thank you very much... your the one that should be worried ..JT..

Heres a point, if you dont like other ppl commenting on your teams plight, dont come on this site. SIMPLES. ........JS

01 Mar 2012 09:42:55
Today will indeed be one the blackest in our history.

To all ED's I seriously think you should think harder today about what gets posted. If the usual Celtic fans come on this site today and gloat over innocent people loosing their jobs then a few hundred of us are going to be furious.

I think you guys do a great job but I think enough will be enough if idiots post idiotic statements.

I think today we need to remember this is a Rangers site. Any other time they can post what ever they want.

Not today please.

GDog
WATP

GDog i know you are hurting terrible thing to lose,the job you love the players will be ok,its the ordinary folk who will suffer most,i for one will not be gloating.but mate lose the watp it doe,s you no favours in the modern world its so 19th century all the best garlar07

Best post I've read! Banter when its due, I like it myself but right now we're talking about peoples livelihoods. The players will be fine I think and may find other clubs it's the people behind the scenes,office staff etc that may be made redundant.

You talk about idiotic Celtic fans posting things they shouldnt and you finish with WATP. Get a grip man. Its like your almost waiting on a poor post coming in.

GDog;no noise ups today.its too real now.............green jhedi

Ok gdog no banter today but please remember that warp is derogatory. MMI2009

01 Mar 2012 09:18:25
If the Daily Record is right it seems 11 players are going today. IF so a dark day indeed. I just want to say thankyou to all the staff at Rangers for their hard work over the years to provide me,a fan, some of the best times ever. Wish you all well at this difficult moment. CheltBlue

01 Mar 2012 09:10:43
Morning ed 11 players for the boot if we beleave the papers a hope past and present boards can live with that . A have pledged ma £500 were are the blue nights we need them in sooner rather than later will do ma season ticket as well only if the thief Whyte is out this c..k is away with millions still no answers from admin team ase for the players taken 50perc pay cuts hats off to them as for other 7 who refused get them to f..k ... Bluenose kenny

01 Mar 2012 09:09:00
to a last post about ex players stepping up,just saw the interview on sky sports with charlie adam he obviously has forgot his roots

We chased him away remember.

01 Mar 2012 06:47:51
The seven players who voted against wage deferral should be named and removed from the club immediately - and get big Davie weir to personally kick them out, disgrace in our greatest time of need they don't step up. They would rather the backroom staffed lose their jobs such as office and cleaning workers - get them out now

Dannager4life

01 Mar 2012 01:31:34
Rangers...i want someone on the 6 o.clock news
rangers...i want someone on sky sports news
rangers,,,,i want someone on the radio
rangers ...i want someone in the papers


if you cant do or want that for yourself then what have the fans to do for YOU,,,for G-d sake stand up for yourself...we need leadership

cometh the hour cometh the man......les

Well said les.... PaulRFC

Chin up mate, may sound bad but it has to get worse before it gets better maybe even be a fergus mccann type thing lol, hours to spare then we are saved (( HOPEFULLY)) stewie

01 Mar 2012 00:28:24
alright my fellow bears i did expect redundices early part of the week but does anybody think maby Paul Murray and his blue night consortium have maby put a in a takeover bid already so there maby asking the administrators to keep hold of the players the now i don't know just asking what other bears think also ed what do you think

campbell {Ed001's Note - I think it is more that it was hoped the players would defer their pay, now they haven't the administrators will try and get some offers in for players. Then they will decide how many they can cut, or need to cut, once they know if there is any income to be gained from selling players. Remember that any player who leaves early is entitled to a payout, so they will want to try and negotiate that down before releasing players. It is not like a standard employment contract, because the SFA, SPL and UEFA can refuse them a license if those payments aren't made.}

Ed have our players said no to going without wages? That will be the last straw for me I think... These same players who sit doing f£ck all when their injured but still get paid {Ed001's Note - 7 of them voted against deferring their wages for a month, there has to be 100% agreement for it to happen.}

Shocking mate! I take it there's no way for the fans to find out who ed? These guys should be ashamed (can understand aluko not been up for it mind you) of themselves {Ed001's Note - I am not sure, it depends on how the vote was done, but I doubt it.}

01 Mar 2012 00:23:59
There is an easy way to solve the Celtic ticket thing, just don't give them any tickets, we sold out killie game last week and we can sell out last ever old firm game, just imagine ibrox without any tims, now that is blue heaven.

Been done before...........green jhedi

Yeah, been done before because the best supporters in the world couldn't behave themselves.

Oranjeboom

Green jhedi, correct it has been done before & I can tell you it was the worst atmosphere I have ever experienced, ma uncle who I wasn't at the game with shouted out ma name (he likes a laugh) & just about every 1 thought as wis 1 of you's,people were looking for an excuse that day & I seen a few punches thrown just because some1 said people were celtic fans, so although I think it is wrong if celtic have said they will pay up front & then not do it, I would still rather have you's in the ground & winding us up than having 2 go through that again
NTYABOW

Dont agree mate nothing beats an atmosphere where two sets of fans are going for it( non-sectarian of course), craig+concernedbabybear
