I really want Coisty to bring back Boydy + Miller, personally I think the two of them ripped up the SPL a few seasons ago, and despite their advancing age, I think the two of them together would tear up scotlands lower leagues - lethal partnership.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

What did you have with your cornflakes this morning we can't afford what we already have. I can't see them coming especaily once we have paid Ally and his 1 million pound plus bonuses after this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree they'd score goals for fun but what we need at the club right now is austerity. We can't afford big wage earners as the management team are on ridiculous money and in case you haven't noticed we seem to be losing £1M a month!

Agree0 Disagree0

We need a youth policy. There is little hope long term unless we start a scouting and youth coaching policy with Good Coaches and not the present staff.

Agree0 Disagree0

Take it all use guys have seen the deeds in the paper but how come it is only showing us folders and no extracts from it or no names as to who owns it. If it was that easy how come Ally or Walter couldn't of showed us them before now. To the post talking about a sit in or pitch invasion on saturday i'm definately up for that. Its time we took our club back from these spivs and conmen

Believable0 Unbelievable0

At last we may be going to act ? let's hope so and let's not be "put off" by Ally and Walter etc. they should in fact be joining us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Charlie boys companys? mmmm getting a wage for them all I take it? from us

mmmmm Mr Stockbridge seems to be really close to Mr Green in fact seesm to be getting as much out our Team as he is? what's the fek is Murray saying he thinks Stockbridge is best man for job for? god even a blind man can see he and Green are like bloody twins,, ripping us of for millions? what's the price to Rangers Football Club these other companys are charging? ohhhh my bloody god how blind have we really been?

Agree0 Disagree0

This whole deeds nonsense is obviously to sell season tickets. Look at the list of companies Green formed under the one umbrella. He is in control, but is being challenged by whyte. Either way a chancer will own Rangers at the end.

Agree0 Disagree0

The above companies are LIMITED and owned by one or two Directors. They are not owned by TRIFC shareholders. Trifc is a Plc and that's what fans bought into.

Agree0 Disagree0

I will join in with the rest

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 19:09:14
I don't know if maybe Wolves have shown us the way to ORGANISE a protest.
The ONE time all the bears are at Ibrox AND the Directors AND McCoist and pals is the day of a home game.
Surely a peaceful pitch invasion and SIT IN by the fans until they actually come out and answer the fans demands would work?
I am just fed up with everyone talking about protest but nothing organised ever happens.
Okay the deeds seem to FINALLY appear to be owned by us BUT WTF were we not shown them before now? Worries me it happens to be at season ticket renewal time.
I think fans should also make it clear to McCoist we are NOT on his side and the salary plus bribe shares Green gave him are frankly a F*****G disgrace for a wealthy MILLIONAIRE to be taking from a third/second division club.
That and a number of other unanswered questions. How much in bank left £?. Easdale background is he suitable?. rename Murray Park. Boca and Goian return lower wages?. the Arsenal shares repurchase. plus lots other questions that crop up every day on the Fans Forums. george

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The deeds thing is a smokescreen. This is all about the fight between sevco 5088 and sevco scotland. D&P had a binding agreement with sevco 5088 for the sale of the assets. Green then used sevco scotland to purchase the assets. he needed whytes permission to do this. he did not have it. This makes the whole sale illegal if whyte proves he was connected to sevco 5088. the paperwork we have seen seems to back him up

Agree0 Disagree0

Stockbridge said "double digit millions" in the bank. In good old political speak that means a damn sight closer to £10m than £22m.

Gaz

Agree0 Disagree0

Whats wrong with just showing us the bank statements, then we will be able to see the truth if its 10million plus?
No one has taken their bonus yet so that money will soon be halved.
We are up the creek without paddle as they say. we maybe sitting with around 5 to 7 million out of £22mill plus what evers left of seaon ticket money? (nothing) In anyones book, Mr Stockbridge that means we losing money of around 14 million per annum which would see us next season in debt again to the tune of around 10 million, we can not afford this Stockbridge as well you know? Are you hoping the season ticket money comes in and then you'll be away also? with that? we may have been blind in past but now I think we have at last wakened up we are going to act in large numbers. and we will be coming for you. and your friends. verbally that is :)

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't believe a word these guys say.
Stockbridge came out weeks ago saying something about club being worth £500m in two years or something. Same patter as Whyte then Green. Now it's coming out of him.
That bs in today's paper has Jabba all over it. He's still in thick with record and mail Editors surely.
Clearly stock exchange money is being blown on operating costs and other things. Directors bonuses and golden goodbyes. Whilst they remain shareholders and owners.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe the share holders (the ordinary fans) should start petitioning the stock exchange to investigate what is going on! Because from the outside there is something not right here (obviously) and stinks of corruption!
The fact that there seems to be shady characters are lining up to have their go at taking from the pot! It has to stop and that has to start with the fans! You have the power! You have supported your club in incredible numbers, why can't you demand changes to the way it is run!
Good luck!

Agree0 Disagree0

Think you can writ off the Arsenal shares. Even if shares did come up for sale, is it worth spending precious cash on them just so you can say that you have them?
Al

Agree0 Disagree0

£5.5 million IS DOUBLE DIGIT

Note - in bank is fine, but there is payoff to Green, Ahmed to be confirmed and paid up.

Audited account due TOMORROW! to SPL or more years in wilderness.

Audited accounts include what's owned to whom? Green payoff £3m, Ahmed, £2mill - means even if £12m in bank that gets halfed by thier payoffs alone!

RiFC had £30mill income this year - ST + IPO - alone. but if only £12m left - they burned £18mill in 1 year. so they go bust mid season next year. on that trajectory.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 19:04:56
So Sunday Mail can see the deeds - but the agents preparing the IPO can't?

Please explain.

Zed

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Good point, Rangers official website maybe a starting platform show them to the people who ultimately make Rangers what they are, the fans! PB

Agree0 Disagree0

I would be very dubious about the authenticity of these documents they could only show to the sunday mail. (sister paper of the daily ranger)the ST renewal forms going out, got a sneaky feeling these documents will somehow disappear once the STs are bought. If they were there all the time why did, nt they show them to the fans before now. IT STINKS. gary

Agree0 Disagree0

Read the joke article carefully. It doesn't categorically state anything. That would have been a huge story but its just a byline for mugs to swallow. I have the deals bit never saying the club owns them outright. Just get those season tickets bought. how can you believe lies after lies

Agree0 Disagree0

Ironically, Brown's "Show us the deeds" demands play right into Green et al's hands. They could show the deeds (which they really haven't) but it won't really prove anything. But it does give them an opportunity to dupe the fans again with a gesture like the one in the Mail yesterday.

Agree0 Disagree0

Craig Whyte (I will be the Hero when all of this is done, mark my words) returned to Scotland from Monaco a few days ago bringing his deeds with him. He loaned them to good friend Stockbridge for an hour and got them back, to rush off to afternoon tea in the Balmoral Edinburgh with SDM.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 18:24:16
On the subject of ally asking for cleansing of the club from the top down, surely he owes it to us, as fans, who have been loyal and put our hands in our pockets to tell us exactly what he knows, exactly what's going on, and if bomber was just being mental or was he right.
We need answers, season tickets up for renewal, who owns what, what's the plan for next few seasons, what's the deal with the new CEO? Is he greens/whites guy?
All need to be answered, and open and honestly!
The tiger - scunnered with this!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Tiger some of the facts you seek are out there now. I think we've all had enough now, here's to the future. CheltBlue

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm scunnered too. mccoist backed murray, whyte, green, and now mather, and picked up two million in the last year. he was a legend, as was walter, but no more. dave & hugh

Agree0 Disagree0

McCoist obviously still believes in the "Big Man in the Big Hoose". He clearly knows more than he is letting on. (or perhaps more than his lucrative contract will allow him too) which leaves fans, many of whom have an interest since they invested in the IPO, in the dark. Just as they had under Murray and Whyte.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 16:12:41
The deeds have been shown, why it took this long is astonishing, but they appear to be in order. That's what Bomber called for, that's what the fans have called for, that's what the tax and legal experts said couldn't be done.

Can we now move on please, can we ignore the ramblings of Whyte, can we treat his comments with utter disbelief please. The man is a liar, a charlatan, a spiv, a con man, and if he is not broke now, he will be very soon. This man, if he can be described as that, should be ignored completely.

If he wants to go to court then let him carry on, he does not exactly have the best record in court cases. He threatens court at every possible moment but never goes to court.

This whole debacle has been largely fuelled by rumours and threats. We had the rumours of £180m debt, we had rumours of title stripping, we had rumour after rumour from tax experts from the east, we have rumours deeds not being in our Rangers name. I really believe these rumours had a great deal to do with CVA not being accepted, with subsequent liquidation and with the resulting newco.

Just once it would be nice to deal in facts rather than rumours.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Stockbridge said: “I have the title deeds for Ibrox, Murray Park and the Albion car park. There is speculation Craig Whyte owns them, or Charles, or that the club doesn’t. It is very easily dispelled.

Does he actually say WHO's name or which company (and who owns / are directors ofthat company) is actually on the deed documents. and are all three assets 'owned' by the same compay / people?

Agree0 Disagree0

That's not the issue. A court has to decide somewherdown the road if Whytes floating charge over those assets is still valid. Only when that verdict is announced can we move on and not have to be concerned

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, don't live in the uk. was it just the journalist, or did an expert look at the deeds? dave & hugh

Agree0 Disagree0

"Mr Stockbridge. These deeds have been written on the back of a beermat. And they still say Craig Whyte is the owner. And owner is spelled wrong!"

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, wondering what the general feeling is about the format change on here---no more agree/disagree. Is it an improvement or not?Just interested.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The removal has got rid of the pathetic trolls who click disagree to everything.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sounds daft but I miss the agree/disagree sometimes. CheltBlue

Agree0 Disagree0

I didn't mind them and believe me I had my fair share of both.

This is for the Ed's to confirm or deny I suppose but my own gut feeling is disagrees on a "get well soon" or "R. I. P. " moment were a bit tasteless but for me we are letting the f*cks (on both sides) win if we start censoring that. They are what they are, it is up to us to ignore it and not get morally outraged, they are beyond help clearly.

Gaz {Ed001's Note - the plan is to bring them back but with the proviso that the poster chooses to have them on his/her post. So they are only there if you want them to be, mostly to stop the tools clicking disagree to the RIP or get well soon posts, you are correct.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I do miss it a bit too and it did give an indication (of sorts) about how we felt. Trolls are everywhere, let's face it---on all sites. Sometimes this new way is a bit boring, if I am honest.

Agree0 Disagree0

Never really got it when someone posts a fact, clearly backed up by various sources, and they get tons of disagrees.

Agree0 Disagree0

@5) It's not that they disagree, they just don't understand the concept of disagree, they are really saying "I don't like" be it the poster or the facts.

I got about 20 disagrees on one post and not one of them refuted what I said, didn't bother me at all, silence really does speak louder than words sometimes.

I see that league reconstruction is back on the table, still for next season. All leagues have been decided, over, and yet this nonsense is still on the table for next year. It is beyond belief.

What about the statement that there will be no cherry picking of ideas. They have discussed this reconstruction for months, it was rejected, they are now cherry picking and don't be surprised if this latest cobbling together of some new idea goes through in days. The lunatics are truely running the asylum.

Not for the good of Scottish football because of the first div clubs that will earn more, simple as that. All of those clubs that used the term "sporting integrity" should have a long goog look at themselves. There is no "sporting integrity" in this at all, it is look after number one, just that.

I have no problem with reconstruction, I don't care what reconstruction looks like, because whatever is pushed through will not make one iota of a difference. It is the same teams, same number of fans, same players. There is no difference at all. However to push this through at the very end of the season is totally unacceptable, it is bordering on crooked, it is pathetic in the extreme.

Why can we not have discussions, come to a sensible, well thought out plan and have it in place for the beginning of the following season?

Why the desperate hurry?

Rash decisions are usually the wrong decisions.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

You can say whatever you want, but I still believe this is all being done to suit the rangers

Agree0 Disagree0

1) please explain how it suits Rangers. Are you suggesting that Rangers will be invited to SPL 2?

I don't think there is a hope in hell of that happening.

Agree0 Disagree0

IMO. some sort of set up will be introduced for next season, mibee an spl 2, but anyway rangers will win it and get back into top league. I don't think there's any way they're going to make the rangers go 3/4 years in the lower leagues, just can't see it, but that's only my opinion. they've been bending over backwards for them up to now its not going to change, they're all corrupt to the core. gary

Agree0 Disagree0

Bending over backwards, really?
Why because they gave us a licence?
If they had not the game in Scotland would be totally finished, you take 45,000 people away from watching the game, then shut the doors.

Agree0 Disagree0

@4, I have to disagree. I don't believe that the 45,000 you mention would all give up football completely. After the mourning period, I would imagine that many would end up going to watch their local teams, taking their kids with them. Maybe after a number of years of this we would have a more level playing field in Scottish football.
Al

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Apr 2013 17:36:59
A more level playing feild? What you mean one club with 40. 000 season ticket holders, their only rivals dissolved, and they have millions to spend whenever they feel threatened, and you believe in a few years we would have a level playing feild? Are you mad? Tommyblue, ps, take rangers out mate and the game here is done

Agree0 Disagree0

@6, the last time I was at the shrink I got a clean bill of health. If you think those 40,000 and their offspring for years to come would be lost to football for good then maybe you are mad.
I don't believe that your team are as important as you seem to believe.

Can someone please correct me if I am wrong but Charles Green saying that no one person will ever own the club again is something that he surely can not have any say in as anyone can buy up as much shares as they want until they have a controlling stake. Is that right?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Green stated that they had put in place wordings that nobody could own more than 15%. I am no expert but as this is a public owned company I would have thought that was impossible. Surely if somebody amasses enough shares they become "owners".

Agree0 Disagree0

When anyone has 30% of a PLC they must make an offer for the whole company.

Agree0 Disagree0

Charles Green said a lot of things didn't he?
(. Dallas cowboys anyone!)
Hmm. Is that freshly brewed coffee I smell?

Agree0 Disagree0

Green talking bollacks as ever. and most bears lapped it up

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 10:23:41
I find it very interesting that King has evidence that Whyte can't legally claim the assets. Read on here the other day bout King being involved in all of this mess and his claim in the Herald seems to support it. How can he be involved in he isn't a fit and proper person? Been reading comments on here that King has cleared up his tax issues but can't fund anything online to confirm. Ed what you think bout Kings involvement? {Ed001's Note - the problem is that very few wealthy men are wealthy because they are decent men. You just don't amass that kind of money without cutting corners or finding loopholes etc. The only real difference is that King has been caught and not been able to buy his way out, like so many others do. Personally I think clubs should be owned by the fans, in other words be clubs not businesses. No one person should be able to own more than one share of it.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ok I need help with this to
when Whyte was given Rangers by Murray it was given with stipulations
that Whyte had to do this and do that
what were these stipulations
and were they carried out
if not can this be unraveled back to Murray?. Les

Agree0 Disagree0

Who said he was not fit and proper?
he was good enough to put millions in a few years ago.
he has several company's for sale in south Africa to pay back the tax.
I am sure we will see Mr King at Ibrox in the next season or two.

joburg bear

Agree0 Disagree0

There seems to be no end of people who have 'evidence' but strangely we as fans never see it. Until we actually see'evidence' it is just hearsay and speculation which in our case seems always to be negative.

Agree0 Disagree0

I feel we and in particular the press give way too much credence to what Whyte says. He is a proven liar, he has lied time after time and yet when he says something people panic. I think the man is incapable of telling the truth. We should ignore anything he says and as King describes it his "latest fabrication".

The deeds have been shown, that's what was asked for, and at long last that appears to have been proven. Let Whyte go to court if he wants, until he wins any court case let's treat his comments with the utter disdain that they deserve. This is a desperate man clutching at straws. The one good thing to come of this is that his comments have got rid of Green and Ahmad.

Agree0 Disagree0

@4 If Whyte's comments have no creedence then there's no reason why Green should have left. And the deeds haven't been shown yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

@4 so whose name was on the deeds then? Did you see any names? But because supposed Rangers men hold up a file with title deeds written on the you immediately assume that everything is all hunky dorey! People like you who swollow swollow everything these crooks tell you is proper and correct! You need to start asking questions mate instead of being taken in as a gullible cash cow (no disrepect intended) for these crooks!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 08:26:04
Why why why did Murray no sell to Tom hunter when he tryed to buy it twice then we won't be in this mess.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Tom would have paid £1 and no more.

Murray got paid £2 mill in jan from Green/Whyte for carpark. now ain't that a sweetener.

Murray still getting millions from RFC. ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Because all the dirty washing would have come out

Agree0 Disagree0

D&P clearly stated, on TV and in the press that the car park was sold to Green as part of the Assets. Then within a few months, the share money is being used to bung SDM two million for something the club already bought.
Somebody please phone the police.

In regards to the use of " Aye Ready" by some folks on here, when the crest is reads "Ready".

When ma Auld man and me used tae heed oot tae the Gem. He'd turn an look at me and say "Ready" tae which I would reply "Aye Ready!" All ma uncle's use it tae! Goes waaay back, at least tae ma Papa.

I wonder if the team still say it before kick off?

I'm glad it was brought up, priceless memories for me!

Aye Ready.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Are you aware Rangers cannot use it on any merchandise? The IP office has it as dead.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ive a rangers supporters association badge with aye ready motto on it, but I think motto belonged to glasgow fire service, and was dropped by rangers to ( ready ) doug t. s. o

Hi all, hope you are all having a weekend that is dominated by. football!
Well sadly here we go again and this time ABBA have nothing to do with it!
The SPHELL are meeting on Monday to have a cherry picking meeting to see if they can agree on something for next season. not holding my breath.
Celtic fans are going to post on their own site. not holding my breath!
Rangers will be on the back pages only. not holding my breath!
The SFA will sort out Scottish Football. not holding my breath!
It is therefore just as well the NHS delivers my oxygen bottle once a month or.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If your NOT holding your breath why would you need oxygen?

What I don't get is if our game needs immediate change why wasnt it discussed august/september and put in motion october, we are 90mins away from the end of the sfl leagues. And still no resolution.

ed is there any chance that some team will take cribari off our hands? he is the only brazilion that can't play football! waste of wages would feel a lot more comfortable with a luca gasparotto in there for what I have seen of him!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Great post, cribari is a dud and I think young luca is going to be a great centre half for us in near future

Agree0 Disagree0

He is on, supposedly, £10k per week mate. Who's going to pay that? He's here for another three years!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 13:00:53
well let's hope he is missing the sun and heads back to brazil cause luca looks a better centre back by a mile briblue

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely not! 10k! whit?!
Even we're no daft enough to shell out 10K per week in Div 3. are we?!
Spot on though. Cribari is utter mince, fail to see how he was ever offered a contract at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

Goian and Bocanegra are still to come back yet, so we could end up with Goian and Cribari centrebacks with Boca at left back and Argyriou at right back, the worst defence in football for the worst manager ever. Why are we paying to watch dross like this, come on Bears let's get this sorted or tell McCoist and his bosses (whoever they are this week) to shove their club because this is not the Rangers I grew up supporting on or off the pitch, this is a disgrace and ALL of those involved should be removed permanently and very quickly, another season like the last two could spell disaster for OUR club and while we thought Smith, McCoist and co would look out for Rangers they have been blatantly caught with their hands in the till, these charlatans should be banished from Ibrox forever they have allowed this to happen whilst backing it 100%, McCoist in particular is proving what a vile specimen he really is by backing yet another dodgy chairman in the name of taking Rangers forward, it seems to me that 90% of Rangers supporters think the players are crap, 75% think McCoist is crap and probably 100% think the board are crooking us, taking Rangers forward is he having a laugh?! the only things that have improved under McCoist are the bank accounts of himself and his employers/co conspirators.

Rant over.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cannot understand how you could have worst defence in football/ worst manager and still win a league. Take it we must have a pretty good strike force to keep our goal diff up!!

Agree0 Disagree0

You, ve got to be in it to win it

sorry but no just no. McCoist. vile?

i, m very happy that he is where he is just now

not a manager of Rangers by a million miles. but in the vipers den fighting for Rangers. Les

Agree0 Disagree0

McCoist to manage Rangers. no
for McCoist to do the right thing for Rangers in our never ending hour of need. in ally I trust. Les

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2013 18:22:51
Rafael Scheidt remember him, he was brazillian and he was Scheidt.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ally McCoist is not fighting in the vipers den for Rangers. he is on £20k a week, basically he is assett stripping from within, how can we move forward paying that kind of money to anyone who as bad at their job as he most definitely is? Also he has shares which is conflict of interest which money is winning hands down, the money he told us to spend on shares.

Agree0 Disagree0
