Rangers Rumours Archive May 30 2013

Ed hopefully you can fill me in but I heard rumours we are taking a look at 2 lads called Billy Joe Burns and Brian McCaul from Irish League side Linfield was hoping you might know a bit about the players? {The Ed039's Note - Billy Burns is a 24 year old centre back and is under contract til end of next season which rules him out, dont know too much about mccaul, he wasnt good enough for Plymouth which doesnt say much)

Stevie Smith has signed 2 year contract.

Eton Rifle

As a Linfield supporter I can tell you 100% that niether BJ Burns nor McCaul would be a benefit to Rangers. Both good players with potential when they were younger, but the boat has sailed in regards to major playing career on the mainland.

McCoist wasn't good enough for Sunderland but became a star with Rangers, maybe McCaul is also a slow starter

McCaul is a big Celtic fan, his twitter even ends in 67 in reference to Lisbon

DM {The Ed039's Note - So? Wasnt Neil McCann a huge Celtic fan?)

Bj burns is a right back and again he is a Celtic fan. Decent player as is mccaul but agree with above blue man, neither would be good enough.

Novo comeback still on cards but unlikely hately and humphrey on the way with cribari going the other way

Not being funny but who would take cabari? He struggled in the lowest division in Scotland.

Basically Rangers are offering better wages than any other club in Scotland apart from the second biggest club in Scotland.

This should see them get the pick of players from ever other club over the course of the next few seasons.

The problem is that whenever they make it back into the Premier League they will have a squad of SPL journeymen on good wages.

So while this is all very fanciful while in Division 2 it will be less than inspiring in a couple of years time.

As such would it not be better to try and bring in guys who will develop year on year and be potentially very good SPL players?

Novo did a good job at right mid for Walter and swallae but don't see him as first pick up front. Clark and Little/Daly all day long.

Where do you get this kinda info mate? Wid love hatley and Humphrey but novo, no thanks and cribari to leave wid be the best of the lot. this just your wishlist aye?

I don't understand why folk want novo back at all had his day!

Novo is dire, can't stay on his feet long enough and would get terrorized in lower league football never mind against decent opposition!

Novo would bring good banter and heart into the dressing room. he would lift the whole squad if he was there, by the looks of things we might get celtic in a cup next season. so a player like novo would be great for big occasions, ie finals

Walter Smith is our new chairman fantastic news

Do you really think this is good news? WW

It is also a reminder of what a state our great club is on when an ex manager is now chairman- utterly bizarre!

Its greatr news, to all those that said Walter was leaving board - how wrong you are, just shows you how many liars are tring to cause us trouble. We need save hands at the moment and they do not come any saver than Walters, well except the Goalie's, lol

Thought he was going to resign if Murry put out?. Strange
Tam

Great news Walter Smith is a Rangers legend and a man who has great integrity, respect and knowledge of Rangers and the wider game. We have been crying out for a leader and there is no better man for the job. More so there is finally someone at the top of our club we can place our firm trust in. To suggest this is not the case is nothing more than crass.

Things are getting weirder at Ibrox WW

He can build a boardroom we can trust. makes sense to me

Your Team seem to be turning a corner and with Smith firmly placed in the driving seat the future looks distinctly brighter. All you need to do now is sort out the google eyed fud and work your way up to the SPL. I look forward to your return.
Gbhoy.

I have not posted on this page for a while my blue nosed chums but it will be good to see the hoards back in a few years time. I advised you lot years ago about minty Murray and the whyte knight they never had any business dealings? Who owns your club lloyds bank did and sold it to Craigy not a bhoy whyte as he is fondly referred too by the clowns in green who sing his name looks like the changing of the guards will follow this investigation.

I look forward to the first old firm game ASAP

Whyte and Murry have saved you the humiliation of finishing mid table for years as Rangers simply the best could never do that once you the fans buy back the clubs assets you will have a club at the moment.

Walter Mitty is trying his best its going to cost you guys plenty as it has already good luck see you in the cups next year for sure. Remember Craig Whyte saved Rangers only one with the balls lloyds wanted their cash Whyte got them it

This will only be a temporary situation

Always thought no man was bigger than the club/institution but seems like Walt and Ally buck the trend!

Walters post is a non-executive position and has nothing to do with the day to day running of the club.
The job of non-executive chairmen & non- executive directors is to keep an eye on how the club is being run.
I think this is a move to get the fans to buy season books.
Craig Whyte letter relating to action which was admitted to the stock exchange today means that this has a long way to run yet.

Running scared again dhimmy never mind just keep coming on to the page of the best team in scotland

Walter has been appointed to secure season ticket sales, all this boardroom bickering and CW fantasy is unnerving some fans.

Any fans who need reassurance about the goings on in the last month should check the share price, it has hardly budged. If any of the malicious rumors were true, the price would have collapsed.

All a front to get season ticket renewals hers fans

Aye right WS just a face to sell st
Anyway what WS knows about being a chairman is as much as I know about quantum physics

Smith's appointment will be well received by the majority of our support. That said, it is now imperative that we appoint some quality 'Rangers' minded businessmen to the Board and preferably some, like King, who will invest in teh Club.

Do you really think Walter Smith would accept such a position just to sell season tickets? He is a TRUE Rangers man and he would only make such a decision if it was best for the club in the longer term.

I will be getting 3 season books regardless. WATP (Always have been and always will be)

Bet you bain will be back.
