On the stadium naming rights, does this mean that Ibrox will now finally be called the Ashley Sports Direct Arena (ASDA)? You could even give the place a green and white facelift, just like the supermarket. Why not also lease the Albion out, build an Aldi's and sell all the cut price and discounted players as 'like brands'. Haha.

Time to accept reality and either move on and accept club being ripped apart or accept it and hope that admin allows firstly a new board then hopefully for everyone's sake a new mgr. Me, not going back and hoping for admin at best ( not great but better than a joke of a club like now with the heart being ripped out of it ) biting the bullet and not accepting so called directors saying they have been let down by the supporters. If they bin mccoist I will accept they at least want to move forward and go back. Get new mgr and pay him less than mccoist it's a start. New mgr might even invest in youth. If we go up this year how much do you think he will want to spend to stay there? Bin mccoist only way forward as a team. Do not let everything else hide his inability to manage sort the football first and hopefully we will still b a club

Call yourself a rangers SUPPORTER. Your having a laugh - I don't believe for a second that admin would be in our best interest.
Again you turn the topic of board to have a go at the manager- change the record

Scmck your post starts poorly and tails off. McCoist is not our biggest problem, by a long shot.

We are approaching end game. if trading insolvently, the sfa might not renew our license after admin 2. Whyte is still claiming ownership of the original sevco. Ashley has the naming rights to ibrox. Merchandise, security and catering contracts are apparently tied up for years, lining green et alls pockets. And we have no money.

Where is King? Or mccoll, souness, park, anyone?

We're basically f@cked.

SG75 For as long as I can remember Rangers FC have been a buying club. Whilst I disliked Dick Advocatt's reign and management style he got 1 thing right and that was the need for Auchenhowie.
Whilst pathetic ownership and governance has taken us again to the brink- typified by Green giving away control of merchandising and naming rights of Ibrox for paltry amounts because he and other rats cared not a jot for the club- Ally and all our managers have a big share in getting us near this apparent end game.
Remember as it was only a few days ago Ally was still talking about possible additions to personnel ignoring the fact we are possibly weeks away from another Armageddon. With this in mind poster number 1 can be excused for feeling Ally was perhaps putting his own self interest ahead of the club's future. Which for a club "legend" is a trifle inexcusable surely you would agree?
Rangers was and is a dinosaur and they became extinct.
Quite simply there is nowhere near enough money in football in Scotland to conduct business the way our club has for as long as I remember.
The John Lawrence Group were delighted to get £6million -borrowed from the Bank of Scotland by David Murray to take the debt laiden club off their hands.
Murray was forced to sell to Whyte for a pound to take the debt laiden club off the Bank's hands
Now this hopeless shower are borrowing more money to sustain our debt laiden club for another season with their incompetent rule and whilst the football side of things has not ran away with the majority of money the failure to utilise Auchenhowie for the first time as it was intended is a significant contributory factor.
Ignoring the fact that the dreadfully poor fare is contributing to the poor attendances which in turn results in less income for the club is also not too bright.
And finally the fans who continually congratulate themselves for their contribution whilst looking for another saviour DO bare their share of guilt.
There is no white knight or any other colour of warrior because the dinosaur will never escape it's inevitable fate- extinction.
Ally, Walter, Dave Whyte, John Greig Scott Symon, Alec McLeish et all- the great Rangers men- failed to grasp the fact that we are not as big as our fans think we are. We cannot survive as a buying club.
Until we utilise Auchenhowie and produce income from it as envisaged by our first foreign non Rangers supporting manager we will consume whatever investment is secured and teeter towards another abyss.
Our other foreign non Rangers supporting manager who produced poor fare at least had the decency to save the club money and resigned.
Look at United who have brought in £5 million NET on two youngsters whilst our LEADERS have their fingers crossed that all being well a further share dilution- further removing ownership from the fans will raise £4 million less £360,000 COSTS netting £3. 64Million which is £1. 36Million less than United who do not have a custom built facility.
There is no defense for any of us- stupidity greed, arrogance and incompetence has brought us to the brink again and ridiculous blind support of one of our poorest managers ever will not change that.

@3. why do some of you persist in asking King, McColl etc to waste their money as if they are doing RFC a bad turn?. the reason they have got a few quid is by NOT buying into failing businesses like RFC.

Dave King asked to see the accounts before investing. he was refused.

Question to all you bears out there:

Would any of you be prepared to give security of 4m quid to a proven incompetent board of asset strippers who are running a publicly listed business into the ground and destroying a once proud world wide brand?

Let them learn their lesson, lose their investment, get Ashley back to Tyneside with his Stadium Sign, let's take the 25 point admin penalty - THEN let's get investors in to a clean house with no money going to vultures.

@4- One of the most honest assessments of the club and support I have read in a long time. Well done Northbear for having the balls to say it like it is.

Ayr bear, someone with money to lose is our only hope of survival mate.

Do you think the existing shareholders will lose out? And learn a lesson? No chance, they'll sell the stadium and training ground first to recoup their money. These guys aren't daft. If we go into admin, the club owe the company something like £16m so again the shareholders will get first dibs on the assets, and the club will be nothing but a name.

Northbear, I agree with yr sentiment but too late for lessons learned.

I wish I knew the answer but short of me winning the euromillions and doing it myself, I don't know how we're going to get out of this.
