03 May 2018 23:36:49
i really wouldn't mind SDM coming back to fix this mess with money.



04 May 2018 06:33:59
I want S D M back he definitely wouldn't do that again to us



04 May 2018 07:28:34
I believe meeting in London yesterday flew by private jet to Glasgow around six
Did say Tuesday approach had been made for skirted, I’m told this will go through



03 May 2018 17:38:44
supposedly McAlister wants 15k a week as assistant rangers have offered 5k a week. gerrard is wanting a massive wage as well. well over 1 million per year.



03 May 2018 17:51:33
I doubt they've got round to discussing personal terms yet



03 May 2018 18:06:53
Where u getting these figures from Jamie



03 May 2018 18:13:32
You pay a manager less than your players. You end up with Murty mark 2.

Regardless who it will be, we need to pay top money to get the best availible in our range.

If not, may as well chuck it.



03 May 2018 18:15:15
How the feck would you know this type of info, you must be the greenfly on the wall



03 May 2018 18:25:07
😂😂😂😂 is that right Jamie!



03 May 2018 18:28:05
Add this up bears take a wee bit of knowledge from these
Managers
1 Gerard houllier
2 Phil Thompson
3 Rafa Benitez
4 sammy lee
5 Roy hodgson
6 kenny dalglish
7 bra rodGERS

This = Steven Gerrard one quality manager



03 May 2018 18:34:56
Apparently both gerrard and mcallister just checked into One Devonshire, west end Glasgow



03 May 2018 19:26:48
The answer is 28



{Ed033's Note - Surely, The answer is 42 :)

03 May 2018 20:31:08
The answer is 7 and will not be 8 and no where near the 10 the manky mob think there getting ha ha



03 May 2018 21:14:28
Lol Ed



03 May 2018 22:11:15
I’d imagine £15k will be closer to Gerrards salary with win bonus and additional incentives, McAllister £5k tops but either way, I love the fact nobody has clear proof of where Stevie G or Gary Mac even are right now but you are able to get info on his personal contract offers



04 May 2018 06:19:42
Well i must say if this is true i am disgusted. was due myself and ny missus to check into one devonshire gardens 2day. Only to cancel the booking abd change it to Newcastle for a night out. haha. spewer.



03 May 2018 16:19:25
Gerrard supposedly being unveiled on Friday at lunchtime all being well (but that's not why I'm posting) .

I was in a meeting today with a guy who has drummed up investors for Rangers before and still works in the club. The meeting was not football related - he runs an unrelated business hens the meeting.

He hasn't been at Ibrox this week due to a family bereavement or I would have had the whole story or at least a few cracking pointers. BUT. He says the fact that Murray has stepped down suggests that there's something happening behind the scenes that he doesn't agree with and not the 'reshuffle' suggested. He says he hopes it's not Ashley (Debt) but there's definitely something afoot big time.

Just a tidbit but it's all I've got.



03 May 2018 17:26:10
Anybody else think someone like Gary McAllister might actually be a better choice of manager rather than being someone happy to be touted as a number two to Gerrard?



03 May 2018 18:10:41
This is why he is coming as a no 2 because gerrard will learn a lot from him and what he has learned from previous managers



03 May 2018 18:23:31
Not at all Gerrard is a born winner. Would get instant respect and could get better signings than G Mac but no doubt as number 2 he probably be a great go to guy for stevie.



03 May 2018 19:42:37
Gary Mac is a long time respected confidant of SG. So much so that McAllister's agent Struan Marshall signed up all the young boys at Liverpool at that time under Houllier.



03 May 2018 15:49:25
Gerrard has just arrived in Scotland, spotted at Presrwick Airport on private plane, apparently easier to land non commercial aircraft there.
Anyway should be at Ibrox for talks in next hour or 2.



03 May 2018 16:10:13
I see Craig Bellamy has decided to add his name to the growing list of former celts who have apparently news-worthy opinions of gerrard to ranger, getting hilarious now



03 May 2018 16:17:02
What a load of tripe. Glasgow airport has its own business aviation terminal. Signature Aviation do the handling. So there's no truth at all in it being easier to land at Prestwick! I know cause I've worked there on business jets on many an occassion



03 May 2018 16:22:57
Maybe the idea was to land somewhere less obvious to the Press, I don’t know. I’m just passing on the Rumour I heard with regards to him arriving.
The justification for landing in Prestwick rather than Glasgow may be wide of the mark I don’t know all I know is someone in the know stated he had landed in Prestwick at approx 15:30 we will soon see on news at T Time if this has been the case



03 May 2018 16:23:37
what does it matter where it's easier to land the guy has been spotted at Prestwick.



03 May 2018 16:24:22
Did he not say he would be back on Thursday to further discussions as for all the fowk warning him it shows they are scared of what he might achieve and comparing him to Barnes is an insult to Gerrard he is more comparable to Souness they are both leaders on and off the park



03 May 2018 17:15:14
Why don’t we ask the guy who worked for Menzies last season where Gerard is



03 May 2018 17:21:08
The picture is a private plane through a fence, come on could well be but can't say he's been spotted



03 May 2018 17:51:00
Knowing rangers of late Gerard is probably on the mega bus to Buchanan street.



03 May 2018 21:00:03
David Murray keeps his private jet at GLA so you are talking nonsense.



03 May 2018 11:43:41
Check out Ian Ferguson's twitter feed @theianferg, he reckons there is Middle East and North America investment on its way.

Gerard is a huge gamble if it comes off, but he is going to come to us hungry for success, just as he was as a player and with the right back room team behind him, he might just be what we need! Forget about the negativy from Celtic minded individuals and ex Rangers players, all just trying to kick us when were down.



03 May 2018 12:52:50
Ian Ferguson is not in a position to know anything more than we do.



03 May 2018 12:52:55
That's a parody account



03 May 2018 14:19:50
There no investment on way when it says on back page of the daily rag that D K is looking for fresh investment so we're still poppers in football



03 May 2018 15:16:23
Since when did the daily record ever get anything right?



03 May 2018 15:26:54
Well I believe there are brand's out there that would offer more than bulldozers now that Gerrard a big name is coming so I think commercially it's good Business but big risk for us in terms of can be turn it around .
I think he could turn it around if we got investment that would make us able to compete which would have to be a sizeable amount



03 May 2018 11:20:35
My 2 posts today we're in reply to other posts, so feel the need to say again, Barry Scott was part of consortium who put in 6.5 million in soft loans, he has resigned, after 4/ 5months now he's either the worst business man I've heard of or the board is clearing out ready for the new regime, not sure if any of current board will survive the cull, Gerrard sought assurances of finance. sorted, he's coming and so is the wind of change, I ask fellow bears to stick together, keep believing and all will be revealed in the coming days.



03 May 2018 11:58:02
Loyalist, things are obv happening in the background, both on the Managers post and finances. Like you say, we have to think positively and hope this next couple of weeks brings good news and the turning of the tide



03 May 2018 12:17:45
The director resignations were to disassociate themselves from King due to the takeover panel ruling, otherwise they would have been implicated and tarnished as obviously they are actove businessmen outside of the club. Nothing more to it.



03 May 2018 12:28:56
What about the facts that King is going to be given the cold shoulder by the takeover panel - That no business will touch him and that includes Rangers. The two that left are UK business holders and that cold shoulder will affect there business hence they had no real choice but to resign or it will affect their business. If King had ponied up with the cash then they wouldn't have had to resign. I keep banging on about it but King is bad news



03 May 2018 14:11:20
Paul Murray leave to protect his own business interests, what about Douglas Park has he not got a business to protect. Was he not just made vice chairman?



03 May 2018 14:39:11
Scott and Murray are dealing with investment banks and with other people's money and hence are subject to more intense regulation and scrutiny and it is imperative they are not tainted. Park is in a different position. That is the reality.



03 May 2018 16:16:42
Guys instead of posting garbage check the facts. KIng did not want to buy all the shares ok the takeover panel took him to court TWICE and won. King said he did not have the funds, the judge ruled King presided over 2 funds that both had plenty of funds. King made an offer from 1 of those funds, the takeover panel required proof that the fund did indeed have enough funds this has to come from the South African government that's the delay. Love King hate King but don't make up stories or straight out lie.



03 May 2018 16:27:57
Douglas Park no longer runs his car/ coach business which he handed over to his son. There is no point speculating about why Murray and Scott resigned, we probably may never find out, we all want what’s best for the club so let’s just see what happens in next two weeks



03 May 2018 16:33:45
My dear bluenosed brothers, I do not know all of Scott or Murray's business interests, however I'm not sure if either have made a statement since there departure, however I will reiterate my earlier point, I don't believe the new regime will have many of the directors there now in when the takeover happens, now I'm not Jesus Christ therefore can't tell you the future, I'm only reporting some of what I've heard, I'm hearing other people mention very similar things, here's one to through the cat amongst the pigeons, earlier I read on this site 50 million to be invested, well the figure I've heard is 60million, all you great unwashed out there before you ask, no I'm not on the glue blah blah blah, it's what I've heard .



03 May 2018 16:56:22
Bluepete the point is that King continues to fail to adhere to the Takeover Panel and the PLC had to write to the South African government to try to get these funds released. That is public knowledge. All those hitting disagree should consider that. The two directors then said we want nothing more to do with this, which is perfectly understandable from a corporate governance perspective. I hope there is new investment coming in, I have no idea, but those trying to say their departure equals regime change are wide of the mark. If anything if that was the case they would be hanging around as long as possible to have their vote on the board, they certainly wouldn't be resigning.



03 May 2018 17:30:28
Hi Loyalist. Is/ was Jesus Christ a psychic? I thought the man was a carpenter.



03 May 2018 23:26:04
1872 blue, I do believe he was a carpenter lol, he was definitely a psychic, as he was doing the shabby chic thing 2000 years before everyone else



03 May 2018 09:41:06
Anyone got any thoughts on Ally saying there's big financial problems and zero money for whoever comes in?

I'm not one for wanting to spread unnecessary negativity here but imo it doesn't sound like Ally to say anything like that without good reason no?

If there are significant financial probs again. well, I won't finish the end of that sentence.

I'd love aw this to be true more than anything, honest to f. but cannot help having a niggling feelin in my heed that somethins just no right here.



03 May 2018 09:56:33
Superman might b playing a blinder knowin investment coming sayin were skint n slappin brazil rite in the coupon with it



03 May 2018 10:03:38
I believe Gerard has been given assurances that there is finance available I believe there is investment coming



03 May 2018 10:11:06
It is bad enough with idiots like Hartson, Sutton, Rodgers, Strachan et al pouring cold water over Gerrards's anticipated arrival but I'm also sick to death of the likes of McCoist, Ferguson, Boyd and other ex-Rangers players doing the same. Why don't they shut up and why doesn't McCoist invest some of his money to help the club, much of which he earned for doing sweet FA when he was manager. End of rant!



03 May 2018 10:27:08
How would he know, see all these NEGATIVE Ex Rangers they should shut up if they have nothing POSITIVE to say.



03 May 2018 10:50:46
So when did McCoist says this? All I’ve heard him talk about is the difficulty of the job not that no money is available - source please



03 May 2018 10:54:08
Well said DOIGER, Boyd absolutely scunners mate, I don't mind Ally he had a rough ride but he talks absolute nonsense at the best of times. He knows about as much as us HEE HAW and I include all on here with their sources! let's remain optimistic



03 May 2018 11:09:38
@Tryikian too true mate, might just be pullin wool

@Doiger I agree with negativity from big gob ex-plyers ALA Big Boydy etc, but I honestly don't hink we can compare Ally to that, aye he got money when we were in our worst way, but totally agree with LDM17 that he hud a heck of a rough ride with us at that time

but LDM17 calm doon mate, its a forum for rumours and discussions and that's exactly what my comment was. I actually said in it mate that i don't like the negativity and aw that stuff.

and lego / LDM17 - source was Ally on talksport which is what @tryikian 's reply was also referring to
I dinnae just come on n make up stuff and claim sources, never huv never will

it was just a comment to my fellow bears

jeezo lads this place gets right tiring at points for honest discussion among mates dunnit lol



03 May 2018 13:31:33
Loovy. You said that ally said no money and big problems and you would love it to be true?



03 May 2018 17:26:23
Marco - I meant the SG/ Investment stuff mate, but can see where my lack of grammar has let me down there lol. the pains of bein dyslexic mate. I'd love that all to be true and for us to get back to our formar glory. am sure we all agree on that.



03 May 2018 21:22:39
Thanks for taking the time to clear that up mate. Not many would.



03 May 2018 09:23:54
See the thing that doesn't quite ring true to me about some conclusions on here, is the fact of why the directors have resigned now because of Kings attitude, they could have gone a lot sooner! Also Gerrard and his advisors must have some savvy - if there was no sniff of further investment he would have closed discussions after the first meeting
I think investment is coming but I don't know from where or whom, I wouldn't expect to know this as business negotiations are not for general public knowledge until approved by all parties.



03 May 2018 09:18:30
Heard the 2 board members left as they are not in favour of gerard they wanted mcinnes



03 May 2018 11:05:57
I no a friend who knows a neighbours cat who knows a friend who knoes a lass in primary school and she said she was sitting watching btsport on tuesday and stevie g says more talks thurday

Said it once say it again yip we all know investments coming gerrards coming but the national papers sources that are in every club don't ssshhhh don't tell them



03 May 2018 15:50:33
Wtf that's a rant lol I think it's either investment of death for us as we can't afford to run at a loss without more investment
And then it will be "we put 30 million just to keep the lights on so there is the investment" all that utter pish we have been hit with for the last 6 years but I hope that's not the case as we need something big and historic to happen to stop them getting ten



03 May 2018 08:18:44
Rumour going about that leaks to the press are the reason for miller and wallace suspensions and the 2 board members getting axed.



03 May 2018 09:16:40
Is that a leak about a leak from a leak then?



03 May 2018 10:46:06
Leakception.



03 May 2018 15:21:23
Not so. There are very few leaks from Ibrox that do not come from a single source - the odious and treacherous Mr Traynor.



03 May 2018 15:51:49
Leak - gate part 7



03 May 2018 07:34:12
There seems to be a hell of a lot of people on here that have contacts/ info or hearing this and that. Now that tells me two things. 1, There is an awful lot of people of influence inside Ibrox with big gubs or 2, there is an awful lot of people on this site with big gubs that talk a tremendous amount of mince. I know which one I believe!



03 May 2018 07:45:50
I got slaughters a couple of months ago when I got told there was money coming into rangers but yeah I agree a lot of people make up some nonsense on here



03 May 2018 07:52:10
If you follow certain people like 4 lads had a dream on twitter, ill usually only post there stuff they seem have close contacts, couple of others too but can also see where your coming from



03 May 2018 08:03:09
If the rumours offend you, I suggest you do not visit the Rangers Runours site.



03 May 2018 08:08:31
Rumours don't offend me, BULLS***E does.



03 May 2018 08:21:16
Got told a few weeks ago AJ was bringing in fresh investment in the summer from abroad.



03 May 2018 09:00:43
It’s a rumours site. People are only posting what they hear in work, pubs, talking to their pals.

We only get to know the facts when they are public knowledge.

If the players, managers, board members are down their local sharing confidential information would you be happy?



03 May 2018 09:46:18
RFC Chris I also heard that



03 May 2018 13:50:24
That's the problem baz people don't say what they hear some folk just come on n post crap.



03 May 2018 07:16:50
What happenes if the 2 directors leaving yesterday is more sinister?
What if gerrard says no?
What if there is still no investors this summer and Paul murray has walked because of the way king is conducting himself and the way he is running the club

I would for all these rumours to be true but for Murray to walk away like that concerns me big time
My gut feeling just now is something is wrong I hope I'm wrong but I don't think the club could cope if gerrard says no and if he does end up saying no
Then I would say something more concerning is happening
I hope I'm wrong though - just wish the club would be more forth coming with information far too quiet for my liking now.



03 May 2018 07:56:34
What exactly is King doing that people (not ness fans) don't like?
Being open is not a fault if conducting any kind of negotiations, its not that long ago posters on here were complaining about us being on the front page rather than the back.
The share offer thing is an example of a stupid application of a rule meant for other things -will anybody sell a share for 20p that they can sell for 25p? Surely not



03 May 2018 08:15:45
If he says no then to the tune of amy Winehouse. we tried to sign Derek McCinness but he said no no no, we tried to sign Steven Gerrard but he said no no no.



03 May 2018 09:46:50
Doomsday scenario ie it won't happen



03 May 2018 03:10:23
I am hearing a lot of info in regards to the impending Investment. Murray and Scott resigned from the board on a guarantee that the Investors will give Gerrard a sizeable 25m kitty to entice players and invest 5m into the Ibrox village creation. This will be used to reconstruct the old Edminston house to create a new top of range club shop (ticket office will go into old club shop), a creation of a club museum, a rangers cafeteria and a family friendly sports cafe/ sports bar. This is to safeguard future income as this is seen as an essential in both the matchday experience and futher income to comply with FFP. Also the board want Gerrards marquee signing in before the kit launch to boost sales on names on strips.



03 May 2018 06:50:30
Would love this to be true we need major investment



03 May 2018 07:03:28
I'm buying this story



03 May 2018 08:36:49
As a tim that actually wants you to survive for the rivalry. that is the biggest crock ever and creates false hope. Rangers true future relies in actually backing your fan investment model and showing togetherness. I once walked past a local in deepest and i mean deepest darkest Indonesia with a rangers top on, 10 minutes later another one. Your a sleeping giant, stop feeding each other childish fantasies. Get it sorted and challenge us (Celtic) properly, that last match was a disgrace!



03 May 2018 08:51:23
Novo 992, I'm hearing too, firstly Barry Scott was heading the Asian consortium which gave us 6.5 million soft loan, now walking away, I've heard total board clear out with massive investment from the new owners, the hold up is Graeme parks, he's holding out for massive pay out, Gerrard wanted proof of investment hence delay in his announcement, I am a supporter of over 40 years, no hidden agenda, my made paddy contacted me last week to tell me about Gerrard, I told him more chance of honey g than Stevie g however I was wrong, everyone will be shocked when investors revealed, ps no Ashley or Murray, to the best of my knowledge lol, keep believing.



03 May 2018 09:39:45
So you suggesting Graeme is waiting on his dad giving him a payout?



03 May 2018 10:26:32
No Scotty, I'm told he's put in about 3 million and want a lot more to walk away, have you any idea how much damage young Graeme has done to our team, he's a joke he should stick to hiring bus drivers and forget about running an institution like rangers, to king and co I say thanks, however they know there time has come and gone, massive change will happen in days, ps I don't come on here with nonsense, I came on here pissed last week when in benalmadena, now sober in marbella, weather rubbish, so writing to my fellow bears with what I've been told, if I told you everything I know I'd be ridiculed, so let the next few days reveal all, stop worrying, keep believing.
