Rangers Rumours

01 Dec 2020 17:46:49
Rumours are king is selling his shares to Club 1872.

01 Dec 2020 18:11:05
He is was just on the news.

01 Dec 2020 18:13:23
Where did you hear the rumour Fraser?

01 Dec 2020 18:44:07
On the news perchance?

01 Dec 2020 19:02:27
What's peoples thoughts on this? I doff my cap to the man for what he's done and do believe that this is for the reason he stated. Does a fans group have the same capital as an Investor and does this weaken our financial position.

01 Dec 2020 21:17:15
55rangers I was thinking the same thing. From what i'm lead to believe the fans group have 3 years to acquire his shares if they can raise the capital to do so. They have been offered the same opportunity as others to purchase more shares in recent share issues and to the best of my knowledge they didn't buy many if any. This leads me to believe that its a gesture from Dave King with the probability that they won't buy them out completely and he will either retain some shareholding or other investors will purchase what the fans group dont. In any case its a great gesture from Dave King and allowing them 3 years to complete the transaction is telling me that he is willing to remain involved during that time.

Good post and tend to agree with u moc.

02 Dec 2020 10:13:20
Superb post MOCBear and i tend to agree with most to what you state pal👍I do however believe that given the fantastic opportunity dave king has given here (once in a lifetime opportunity) for us the supporters to become our club's largest shareholders thus having a bigger say within everything regarding our club, i do honestly think that the supporters will step up (as we are the greatest) and reach the £13llio £13million target needed to buy all Mr. king's shares!

Starting to hear rumour dempster to replace Robertson at ibrox.

27 Nov 2020 07:31:13
I’m hearing same thing.

27 Nov 2020 08:21:09
John25,i hope your info is spot on pal👍Was the info given to you by a reliable source mate, because i actually was told from a hibee, that she's taking up a new job away from football, time will tell i suppose 🤔
She's a very highly rated chief executive/ managing director 👌.

27 Nov 2020 09:00:00
Two and Two or a Rumour? ✌️✌️.

27 Nov 2020 10:24:17
Coops, recall you proposed wee Lorraine a while back.

27 Nov 2020 10:51:08
Why would we want any one who thought it was a good idea to appoint Neil Lennon as Hibs manager?

27 Nov 2020 11:50:49
It’s being mentioned in a few circles, I’m not sure board would move Robertson on.

27 Nov 2020 12:34:11
I believe she is a Rangers supporter, but has she not already stated she is taking a job outside of football? I'm sure she was quoted in a paper saying this yesterday?
Going by reports, and what some say, she is very good at her job. Anyone know If that's right?

27 Nov 2020 12:43:02
She is a Rangers fan and was a season ticket holder at ibrox and done a good job with Motherwell and Hibs. I don't know how good a job Stewart Robertson does but he lost my confidence in him with the SfA dealings last season, the smoking gun and producing nothing. So who knows as the club seems to be going along nicely just now and he must be doing a good job.

27 Nov 2020 12:55:14
John25, Robertson is a competent, loyal and low ego Managing Director. There is a view, perhaps supported by the newer members of the board, that we require stronger marketing and business development leadership from the executive.

27 Nov 2020 13:14:39
Dempsters came out a d said shes taking time out of football to concentrate imon family life.

27 Nov 2020 13:18:37
Be a good appointment.

27 Nov 2020 14:52:35
BMGH01 Yes, journalists all say that she's very good at her job.

They were all told to talk her up for fear of PC accusations of sexism. I'm not saying for a minute that women aren't equally capable of the job but I'll mention again that some of her biggest decisions such as appointing Lennon were huge mistakes.

27 Nov 2020 15:08:52
I know what you mean bankie. I feel he was the foil for king, whilst we mb want to fight sfa all the time and previously Ashley u need a calming effect in the boardroom.

27 Nov 2020 15:44:05
It's being reported that Willie Haughey wants her with him at Queens Park.

27 Nov 2020 17:26:31
Geronimo, we all realise what happened to neil lennon in the end with the fall out with some players and leeann dempster etc. But before that lennon had been a cracking appointment as hibs manager, so for me it was a superb appointment originally by dempster getting lennon to hibs. Anything can happen and change with any appointment or anything in football, for that matter! So i totally disagree that getting lennon in the first place was a big mistake by dempster 🤔How was she to know the events were going to happen with lennon 🤔
Hindsight is a wonderful thing pal!
She's terrific at her job 👌.

27 Nov 2020 17:29:16
If you don't mind me asking BMGH01,
what job does willie haughey want to offer leeann dempster at Queens park mate 🤔I wouldn't have thought for a second that she would have left hibs to go to Queens park mate 🤔.

27 Nov 2020 17:50:02
I haven't got a clue mate, I'm only going on what was reported.
Willie Haughey is a wealthy and influential guy, and If the position is attractive, I'm sure she'd be interested, but who knows? Money talks mate, and If there's enough on offer, it would tempt most people.

27 Nov 2020 17:52:37
Sorry, SGL, it was the chief executive role apparently, but again, who knows If this, or the Rangers rumour, is right?

27 Nov 2020 19:18:15
Everybody knew it would happen coops, it's happened everywhere with him. Guys an accident waiting to happen.

27 Nov 2020 19:58:07
If you knew it would happen i bow to your superior knowledge Herewego55 👍.

27 Nov 2020 21:17:22
Queens Park rangers it is lads not THE FAMOUS pheeewww 😂.

27 Nov 2020 22:09:26
Dempster to Queens Park is gathering momentum lads. Looks like Sir Willie could offer her something Hibs couldn't?
It would appear the Rangers rumour was a non starter probably started because some put 2 and 2 together and came up with nothing.

27 Nov 2020 22:45:34
lennon was a good appointment for hibs. got them up.

28 Nov 2020 01:14:56
" all the journalists were told to talk her up " hohoho,

Just when you think it couldn't get any crazier on here, up pops someone who believes " all the journalists were told "" it would make you cry if it wasn't so laughable, who do you think told " all the journalists " mate? Donald Trump?

28 Nov 2020 09:35:33
BMGH01,i posted my post regarding dempster possibly going to QP as their new CEO, over in the other site. I thought it was John25,who had first mentioned she was possibly going to QP, but sorry mate as i realise it was your good self who first posted the possibility 👍 It's some challenge for her mate, but what self satisfaction, if she can with willie haughey, take the Queens all the way through the leagues 👌I would still have loved her to be working for rangers though mate 😞
She's a very good CEO and business woman in general! I'll watch with interest.

28 Nov 2020 10:25:41
No worries SGL.
It is a good move for her mate, If that's where she ends up? Willie Haughey is a very successful, and respected businessman, who I'm sure is part owner of the new radio station we have entered into a commercial partnership with? From what we know about her, Leanne Dempster is very ambitious and driven, and the opportunity to work with Haughey would have been a massive draw. Good luck to her, and If she's successful, you never know where she could end up next?

28 Nov 2020 10:52:54
Yip BMGH01,is it not go radio the relatively new glasgow radio station that haughey has part ownership of mate 🤔 I would hope dempster ends up at rangers one day mate 👍.

28 Nov 2020 11:44:36
Shager, queens park rangers, aye shed be so lucky, you do know that q.p.r. & queens park, are different clubs, yea.

28 Nov 2020 11:18:15
That's the one mate, he's part owner with Paul Cooney.
Yeah, Queens Park have obviously got big plans, and this could be the perfect fit for her.
One of the worst games I sat through was against Queens Park in December 2012. Were you there mate? It was cold, wet and a horrible day, and we struggled against 10 men scoring the winner in injury time. Queens park had Andy Robertson in their team, and I'm sure Shankland was playing too? I don't miss those games!

28 Nov 2020 11:46:51
Erm, we have a guy in position who has been heavily involved in dragging us back towards the top and financial stability.

All this talk of his potential replacement is not fit for our traditions.

Time for our supporters to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

28 Nov 2020 12:52:12
I was there BMGH01 👍Was that the game at hampden when fraser aird scored into the rangers end in injury time mate? 🤔.

28 Nov 2020 13:15:51
It was mate. A crowd of us had made plans to make a day of it as it was in between xmas and new year, and even though the game was terrible, we had a terrific day. I was freezing my nuts off, and after sitting through 90 minutes of torture, I ended up missing the goal as I was heading to the toilet. Typicall!

28 Nov 2020 15:51:23
Geronimo, you're way off it regarding leeann dempster, so you are pal! You obviously don't like the woman and are posting gobbledygook to try and prove you're correct 🤔 You're not correct as she's a terrific CEO and i for one wish she was our CEO 👍
She's very highly regarded and a superb business woman!

28 Nov 2020 17:32:08
Didn't Lennon get Bolton relegated?

28 Nov 2020 17:43:21
Derek mcinnes got bristol city relegated, but a few on here wanted him as our manager 🤔😂😂.

28 Nov 2020 20:18:45
Geronimo Robertson appointed Caxhina or have we forgotten about that should have gone not long after that car crash.

28 Nov 2020 21:09:26
Maybe Leanne Dempster will go for Lennon for th Queens park job next?
Be a great gig for him.
🤣🤣🤣
🔴⚪🔵.

29 Nov 2020 07:10:53
Sebrio it was Park junior who appointed caxhinia.

29 Nov 2020 08:10:09
As John said, it was Graeme Park who appointed Caixinha.
On the subject of Park Jnr, is it true that he is now the one calling most of the shots at Ibrox? Apparently his dad has installed him as the main guy at Ibrox and he is the main decision maker? I don't know how much truth there is in this, but If true, he's certainly put the Caixinha debacle behind him?

29 Nov 2020 14:30:20
Queen’s Park will be a premier league club in the next 6 years. Heavily backed and doing things correctly with not just first team player cash injection. The youth set up is one of the best and they are attracting some good coaches at all levels, even the women’s team is being improved. Business model from amateur to professional level is set up and now moving forwards. Everything is in place and I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if Dempster was announced as its exciting times at the club.

23 Nov 2020 20:36:53
It’s being reported that rangers are ready to offer kent a bumper new contract worth 30k a week. Not sure how much truth there is in this as it’s from the ever reliable football insider. It is paramount that we tie down our best players but whether he wants to or not is another story. Hopefully a crack at the champions league may sway him.

23 Nov 2020 21:10:02
Hope so it’ll keep him happy and push up transfer fee at worst. He’s worth it in my opinion anyway and will make us a lot of money if he does decide to leave further down the line.

23 Nov 2020 22:11:38
Think Kent's contracted for another 2 seasons anyhow so I'd imagine it's a no brainer. sign new improved contract knowing he won't see it out anyhow.

23 Nov 2020 22:19:09
We need to give him an improved contract so we can change the release clause from £20m to £30m so we don’t get stung if he has a great season and becomes a player who interests other clubs with money to burn.

24 Nov 2020 03:22:13
Don’t see the point in giving him a new contract he has 2 and a half years left on his deal a doubt we will get much more than 20 million for him anyway and with C.V. I think we should watch how much wages are going out the door let’s face it we all know if we win the league then players like Kent Alfredo ect will be away in the summer we need to start balancing the books.

24 Nov 2020 07:51:01
Il leave these decisions for the people who know best.

24 Nov 2020 13:04:07
We should be doing all we can to tie down Kent and Kamara👍.

24 Nov 2020 14:36:53
Agreed Coldo.

24 Nov 2020 17:12:31
Kent barisic jack etc will sign new deals i think if stevie g gets a new 1

Said it once an will say it again gerrard never signed kent etc on 4 yr deals for nothing an uf he signs a new deal kent etc will follow suit.

25 Nov 2020 10:40:04
Steven gerrard won't sign a new deal unless klopp stays at liverpool. remember his and klopp contracts both run out on the same day.

25 Nov 2020 15:34:15
Totally with you coldo 👍We must get both kent and kamara on new longterm contracts, with big transfer fee break clauses in them 👌So if some club is hellbent on signing any of them, they'll have to pay top dollar for them along with us hopefully getting a 15%-20% sell on clause inserted into any deal 👌.

25 Nov 2020 17:05:56
So much depends on the outcome of this season, financially and managerial wise. If we don’t win the league I believe SG will go. Champions league is a massive carrot for current squad and incomings.

25 Nov 2020 20:23:40
If god forbid and we don't win the league, which may i add i don't think will happen, i still think steven gerrard will remain as rangers manager as he's got us so very close now to becoming the no.1 club in scotland again. Also he has his squad playing a certain way in which they've all bought into steven gerrard's management style and to change manager i truly think would knock us back a few years again,
where ATM we're very close to being at the pinnacle of scottish football again 👌To continue this chopping and changing manager and ripping it up and starting again won't work and i for one would want gerrard to remain, no matter what, for the reasons i've stated and i honestly 200% think the board would also keep him as our manager 👍.

26 Nov 2020 15:53:51
No need, will probably head out the door at the end of this season anyway. Winning the title is the most important thing. Players can leave on a high with us ready to rebuild.

26 Nov 2020 16:35:12
Hypothetically speaking then BlueWouldDo mate and every bear on here in general, if gerrard were to leave rangers as a winner or a loser (hopefully not), at the end of this season, who do you reckon could/ should replace gerrard as the next manager? When gerrard came to rangers he wanted/ put in place a system he wanted to play all through our youth teams, right to the first team, which of course is the case now. that's why IMHO, i wouldn't be surprised in the least, if our next manager/ head coach to replace gerrard is appointed from within 🤔
As most of us already have read and know ross wilson and steven gerrard both rate current rangers B team head coach kevin thomson very highly and have now got him working closely with them! Our now former reserve manager peter lovenkrands is also very highly thought of within the corridors of ibrox/ the RTC. Of course they would have to show they were good enough but by all accounts both were very highly rated by the powers within 👍I'm stating here and now i'm not advocating that any of these guys will definitely follow gerrard as our next manager, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least and if any of the two got the job, i would absolutely trust the powers at ibrox that think they're good enough in the first place 👌I also think personally myself, that gio van bronckhorst will be very prominent in our hierarchy's thinking and rightly so! This should be a cracking debate amongst us all here and with all our respective different opinions, should be terrific reading and very interesting indeed 👍 Its not to decry one another's opinion,
its to learn/ share all our different thoughts fellow bears! Looking forward to all your different posts on this very important subject.

26 Nov 2020 17:46:36
Not a chance we would gamble on Thomson or lovenkrands. I know we did with gerrard, but gerrards standing and name alone was enough to bring players in who eould in all likelihood never have signed without his influence. I think we would perhaps push the boat out again, for a progressive coach with similar philosophies. I agree we wouldn't want to change the whole system.

26 Nov 2020 19:55:41
Was referring to the players more than the manager leaving, wouldn't rule anything out though.

27 Nov 2020 17:23:24
S.g.l. micheal beal, will be next. Manager, mate,

27 Nov 2020 18:15:04
Michael Beale is a superb coach i grant you charlie chang. I actually months ago on here now, posted about the possibility of beale following Gerrard, as our next manager/ head coach 🤔. Beale may however, follow gerrard to work with him in his next managerial job mate. That usually happens you find 🤔.

27 Nov 2020 21:25:35
If we win the league this season-Gerrard won't be going anywhere, he will fully want the test of champions league qualifiers and if we make it (group stage) . If he is to get the pool job then he needs the biggest test. I for sure love the guy and hope he gets the chance.

17 Nov 2020 19:26:21
Well who was it Dazrfc? I can't find anything about it?

17 Nov 2020 19:42:24
Yeah I’m desperate to know now lol.

17 Nov 2020 20:29:33
Right panic over lol I found out, it was the pride of Scotland winner apparently having a wee tour of the stadium and having a chat with ally mccoist, I seen it on Ibrox loyal on Facebook, sorry bears I had my hopes up a bit lol.

18 Nov 2020 00:53:38
U so know its a public street daz, ? people walk through it every day, especially the folk who live there, I don't want to get excited tomorrow only for you to tell me you saw the milkman,

18 Nov 2020 09:24:49
The original picture I saw was a man and his Mrs at the pitch side, inside Ibrox, then I later saw the pic of them both at the main entrance, naturally I thought it was a player, plus that's what the caption was on the Ibrox loyal Facebook page, took me ages to get the info about who it actually was so yeah I got excited lol.

18 Nov 2020 12:34:35
Dad it happens lol.

18 Nov 2020 23:04:54
Daz, i saw the picture of them outside the main door mate, seriously the guy had a mustash& bears, well groomed i must add, mate,

19 Nov 2020 19:32:42
window cleaner, salesman, wee guy lost his dog?

lets have another 3 days on wilshere, then back to alfie again. so we can all say the same things over and over and over.

22 Nov 2020 21:40:53
Tomthumb, it was not wiltshire mate, hope that helps.
