John, or anyone else in the know. Apologies if I’ve totally missed this but there was chat of 2 midfielders potentially coming. Any news on if and who?
1.) 23 Aug 2024 19:27:58
Apparently we are very close to signing an experienced CDM, based off posts earlier today that could be Joan Jordan as that is potentially back on and we have been linked with a young lad from Benfica.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 20:11:45
We're not signing nobody unless there at outgoings.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 21:31:08
Has John Fleck signed for anyone yet?
4.) 23 Aug 2024 22:30:13
Would love it if there was any truth in the Joan Jordan deal being reignited. Exactly what we are needing. ?.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 23:06:53
Dothebouncy - that one could be a deadline day panic move from us ??.
6.) 24 Aug 2024 03:04:06
The last thing we need is a player who doesn’t really want to be here… pretty sure if Jordan wanted the move it would have been done weeks ago….
7.) 24 Aug 2024 09:34:46
I'm starting to think they will announce Fleck in a fanfare type thing all happy and smiles.
8.) 24 Aug 2024 18:39:50
Strummer not what's been said today. More incomings than outgoings next week.
9.) 24 Aug 2024 18:43:29
Is Flexk fit to play just now? If so then why not give him a short term deal….
10.) 24 Aug 2024 21:06:00
Fleck hasn't played for a year it's over.
18 Aug 2024 15:07:03
Question for John or indeed anyone else in the know, any truth in the rumours of an imminent takeover / investment from overseas?
1.) 18 Aug 2024 15:18:39
Hope so!
2.) 18 Aug 2024 15:38:18
No mate, just the usual lies coming from peoples x feeds.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 15:52:35
Ah, the "overseas investment"! Is it that time again?!
4.) 18 Aug 2024 16:09:07
Sunshine, yep, here we go again!
We are struggling (again! ) and again the 0verseas investment pops up.
Been hearing it for as long as I can recall.
5.) 18 Aug 2024 16:19:15
There has been interest and given the folks that spoke with me about this I am confident that this was factual. Names of interested parties, both UK based and South Africa based were mentioned by myself and others, including John
I have heard on a number of occasions regarding interest from existing shareholders, not necessarily shareholders currently on the Board, but unless there is another share issue, (which I would suggest is unlikely at present), any interested party would need to acquire the shares from existing shareholders and in the short term that does not benefit the Club financially, (although it might actually benefit the Club in terms of Corporate Governance) .
Add to the above the fact that we need to have willing sellers and while I understand that both King and Parks would be willing to sell, King has indicated in the past that he was offered a deal to sell and declined and Park, most likely as with others will inevitably want to exit at a premium and right now I would suggest that this would be a tall order.
With the rumoured new CEO we are securing a seasoned campaigner, well respected for the work that he has done in the Charity Sector and equally someone that is majorly respected by the IOD in Scotland. His track record at St Mirren, albeit at a Club with a significantly smaller supporter base is excellent.
Rangers cannot continue as they have been. Our supporter owner base is significant but financially I would doubt that they can take the club forward and I doubt if some of the existing Board can inject the sort of funds needed to take us forward and they have already proved that commercially they lack in ideas to develop the club and I would even go so far as to say that they have failed to exercise proper Governance and fulfil the duties of a NED.
I would still expect to see investment, if as anticipated, Gillespie comes in as CEO, he is perfect to steady the ship, improve Corporate Governance and restructure the Business side of the Club so that we have a good chance of passing any relative due diligence by a prospective Investor, (or take over bid) . The caveat in all of this is that there would be sufficient interest from existing shareholders, especially this on the Board, to sell their shareholding and give up their Club perks. (As far as the Supporter Shareholding is concerned I suspect that the Group would support any new Investor with ambition and a strategy to take us forward) .
6.) 18 Aug 2024 16:36:11
Which sea? Hollywood star? man or woman, I'm hoping for Ana de Armas or Blake Lively her man likes football she might want her own club .
7.) 18 Aug 2024 16:49:46
Very well written post Berkshire, I’m told Park intends to transfer his shares to his son Graeme.
8.) 18 Aug 2024 17:03:32
God help us John if true I know he very unpopular among the supporters.
9.) 18 Aug 2024 19:44:54
Thanks Berkshireblue, your input is always appreciated plus it is also well put.
10.) 18 Aug 2024 20:13:38
Berkshire another cracking post well written with excellent insight and info
Keep it coming mate very much appreciated ??.
11.) 18 Aug 2024 20:16:56
G4 that is the first thing i thought when i read that.
12.) 19 Aug 2024 08:14:24
Berkshire, a very well written post.
13.) 19 Aug 2024 09:00:44
Thanks Berkshire .
14.) 19 Aug 2024 09:26:47
Bb how would new investment or takeover help the team on the park, I understand the cost cutting is to bring us in line with FFP rules for next season so even if a rich Arab bought us out we can't go out and spend what we want.
15.) 19 Aug 2024 11:14:41
Onewalter rich Arab can sort out many things and quicker than the dumplings we have and no doubt income could improve with real pro business people in charge .

Where can you buy the grey and blue quarter zip training top? Can't see it in the store.
1.) 04 Jul 2025 22:51:31
It's not for sale yet.
2.) 04 Jul 2025 22:54:01
Probably the barras mate with the rest of the stuff.
3.) 05 Jul 2025 07:50:43
You're right storm, i haven't seen for sale yet either mate, it's really nice though.
09 Jun 2025 14:02:10
Laughing at the amount of posts raging about a deal not going ahead for someone they'd never heard of before because we'll sign someone else they've never heard of instead ?.
1.) 09 Jun 2025 14:46:39
Who had heard of edouard before they signed him from psg?
Nobody. signing young up and coming players is what we are supposed to be doing this lads ment to be a possible superstar.
But what do we know eh apparently because your clueless to who he is we all are.
2.) 09 Jun 2025 15:09:25
I swear some people are just never happy.
I for one am embracing new owners and a new manager and looking forward to seeing what happens.
3.) 09 Jun 2025 15:10:57
Muscat you ever seen him play or going from reports? many young talented players that never do anything in the game, he could be a player or fade away before he's 25.
4.) 09 Jun 2025 15:33:16
Muscat, since RM was appointed, all I have seen is negative posts from you. I get it, you don't want RM as head coach.
5.) 09 Jun 2025 17:40:17
Too late? correct some have him written off before he's done anything, let's wait n see how he gets on before ordering one of white horse's "guy's"??.
6.) 09 Jun 2025 18:52:15
Some said similar about us missing out on simons look how that turned out.
7.) 09 Jun 2025 20:31:18
I'd like to see us go for right back/ wing back Kyle Walker Peters 28, £20k a week. He's out of contract 1st July.
06 Jun 2025 20:47:44
It wasn't that long ago I sat wishing someone with shed loads of cash would buy the club but wondered why anyone would do that with a Scottish club and who had no real ties or affiliation with the club. And now they have! Hopefully many happy years for the bears ahead. And make no mistake, they're boaking across the city!
05 Jun 2025 13:41:22
See the people saying we lack ambition and it's an underwhelming signing, who do you think we were going to get, Klopp? To everyone else outside Scotland we're just a fair sized club that plays in a poor league and have been bought over by some Americans. Did you expect a big queue at our door?
And also, give the new manager a chance, he's not even set foot in the door. Remember Gio ticked every single box we were looking for, young manager, been a successful player at our club, and arsenal, and Barcelona, won leagues abroad etc, took us to a European final, won the Scottish cup and was hounded out by the fans! Let's try and rid ibrox of the toxicity element and actually get behind Russell Martin accepting that there'll be bumps along the road.
1.) 05 Jun 2025 13:53:51
Good post alloa.
2.) 05 Jun 2025 13:55:48
Spot on alloa great post.
3.) 05 Jun 2025 14:05:23
Good post AlloaGer1.
4.) 05 Jun 2025 15:33:16
I agree with this too and if we hound Russell Martin out the door prematurely, then finding another to replace him will be difficult.
5.) 05 Jun 2025 15:37:49
Good post Alloa. However I did hear Klopp approached us but wasn't a big enough name. Only 5 letters ?.
6.) 05 Jun 2025 15:54:12
Klopp is too busy on his trivago holidays to Turkey to fix his knashers ?.
26 May 2025 19:44:15
Guys not been on this so I missed something, what's EHL's new job?
1.) 26 May 2025 20:23:21
He never said mate.
08 Jul 2025 21:02:44
I can't say I've even seen him play but I hope he turns out better than some of our other lower league English signings.
05 Jul 2025 22:07:35
Same as last year when people called our European opponents Fernebahce rather than Fenerbahce, even our manager Ferguson didn't know the correct name of our opponents. Third world problems eh?
04 Jul 2025 21:46:12
Thanks for your positivity stiv, brightened up my evening there, I was a bit pessimistic about things until I read your uplifting post.
02 Jul 2025 09:40:57
Ed I read it as existing stands looks run down and looks as if built in the cheap. I've read and re-read and can't see that any other way ?.
{Ed001's Note - yeah, I was reading the wrong post. Never scrolled up far enough.}
23 Jun 2025 14:29:23
EHL but with less grief for you this time hopefully ?.
07 Jul 2025 10:33:08
Mines was the plain blue NTL sponsored top.
05 Jul 2025 08:22:42
Great post fork. 100% agree, the problem is like within ibrox and indeed in society, line 100 people up against a wall and you're going to get a fraction of those that can't see the bigger picture or that amuse themselves by trying to belittle others. I look on it as a 2 way street, whilst I agree they should just ignore things they don't agree with and d roll past it, maybe we should do the same. As hard as it is at times, they'd soon stop,
04 Jul 2025 22:57:31
Well said ASA, loving the "we" as well. ?.
04 Jul 2025 21:52:14
Parlane man how can you go through life without wearing a polo shirt? ?.
04 Jul 2025 21:50:25
They'll get the same time to settle in that every other player gets, 45mins! Then they'll be labelled serial losers and lambasted by an element of the support ?.
