Frankie 505 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Quick note to say we'd just like to apologise to anyone who is still waiting on Amazon delivering or has tried to buy it in Waterstones yesterday or today. The publishers have told us that both companies are in receipt of the books and that the delays are at their end and therefore out of our hands.The good news is that another very large print run has already been sorted so over the next couple of weeks there should be no issue with stock in either shops or online.We're also waiting to hear when the Rangers shops will have their stock from Sports Direct. Hope it will be by early next week at latest.Sorry once again but hopefully worth the wait. We're really delighted with the response and thank everyone for their support!

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The concept of the book and the charity link would have made it a must have no matter how god/bad /indiffernt the thoughts are.Still think it would have given a truer picture if they had invited other bloggers to put their views across ,rather than everyone from the same literary club so to speak.But my live review will be forthcoming..........an honest open viewpoint.

It also has contributions from people at the club and a journalist and university lecturer. It has an in depth discussion of the insolvency events from an actual insolvency expert as opposed to the ones Spiers likes to pretend he spoke to.I'm not therefore sure what you mean by "the same literary club".

We believed in getting a proper version of what happened out there and worked very hard on it for months. We all write anyway and editing was a task of pulling together contributions from talented people and experts from across the Rangers family. I can't think of a single reason to "step back".We have many differing viewpoints amongst the contributors. We are just able to discuss those like adults on most occasions.

If you are not interested in his opinion on what happened that's great. I'm sure many fans are, and indeed several people have already commented on how informative his chapter is.I look forward to hearing more of your "honest" critique.

Frankie 505 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Personally I'm delighted with the cross-section of Rangers fans that have contributed to the book.Made complete sense to go for writers we were familiar with via TRS (although all come from different online/supporting backgrounds) but, not for one second, does that mean the book contributors share the same opinion about any given subject. Getting ten opinionated Rangers fans to agree on anything would be quite a feat!Moreover, there are a variety of different issues discussed in any case so people are more than welcome to talk about individual chapters wherever they like after they've read the book. I'd hope debating the content afterwards was just as important as publishing it.As with the website, TRS has never been about one opinion being correct but being able to discuss relevant issues in a balanced fashion. I think both the site and book have achieved that by and large. But, ultimately, only the reader can decide the quality of the input. I certainly look forward to reading all feedback (good or bad) and so far all comments have been very positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That finance expert you thought was a neutral observer?Not sure who you're talking about but this book was always going to be written by Rangers fans, for Rangers fans. We could have easily added in some 'neutral' comment or generic opinions from non-RFC fans but we felt we'd seen and read enough of these over the last 18 months so wanted to concentrate on 'our' own thoughts for a change.Clearly the book doesn't profess to speak for everyone (that's impossible) but we're confident most readers will identify with some sections at the very least.
