Yes I see the irony of this thread given my feelings on his import but many of the posters on here are disputing that very fact. Repeatedly you are seeing mentioned feelings that CH does not represent them or their opinions despite his perception that he is representative of the fans feelings in general, and further you can see a downplaying of his own role in our recent history and a completely different value being placed thereupon by posters on here compared to other places and dare I say it, by the man himself. You can't really fault people for responding to being told what they should be thinking when that's contrary to what they believe. This thread is not so much about CH's popularity as it is about posters not wanting to swallow his self-aggrandizing propaganda. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a radical comparison and then you wrongly say they're our last two chairmen. Regarding Houston .. the hatred for him? his group promoting boycotts, his group being responsible for attacking Ibrox and assaulting older staff members, him on social media reporting Rangers fans to the Police and encouraging others to do the same, him asking his fenian pal on social media if he can come with him to Barcelona for the Celtic game (despite his lies to the contraray) and his lies about tied into Lion Brand (I asked him about it on Facebook one time and he made a big speech saying that's never been the case and within minutes I had 3 message requests and it was people I didn't know with screen shots from his Sons Of Struth account confirming the Lion Brand deal/s) ... he's a liar and an embarrasment and an ego maniac.

I'm still of the opinion CG was planted into our support by King in late 2011. Go check all his blogs etc on Rangers, and when they all suddenly started.

Why can't you people understand I don't want Whyte, Easedale, Wallace, Mather, Somers, Lambias, Murray, Leich or King in the chair. Why does it have to be one of them or King? ... he's slightly better than the rest but not by much. It's like crackpots that used to excuse Warburton's failing's this season by saying "would you rather McCoist was back in charge?" You say the boycott's worked in essence, I'll go different and say they helped Ashley get a grip into us. In fact the only thing "in essence" that actually worked was King finally stumping up and buying enough shares to get the right amount of votes to drive them out. Which is what should have happened from day one instead of pathetic boycotts and hostile takeovers dragging the club through the papers for their own benefit.

If you read through this thread it's glaringly obvious he's practically despised. Naive to think a forum doesn't become a community where everyone knows which subjects will bring heat and when to put your tin hat on .King and Houston sympathisers will think three times before commenting on here as it's not worth with the hassle of fending off the usual trolls imo ?. Not true. I've already posted today that despite Craig's failings, I've always had replies to questions, and even if he has been a bit evasive at times, he's never resorted to banning me or being rude towards me. I don't know the guy personally therefore I won't hate him. Happy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as i said earlier in the thread, i am pretty new to the online community compared to some, only really took an interest with all the shit surrounding us back then. Before that i just went to games etc. So it's not inconceivable that he was the same. The major difference being that i am just a daft voice on a forum that nobody pays attention to (me, not the forum) and he ended up on TV and the board of our club. So i probably agree he was a plant. There you go, 2 ways of looking at it, but we all toe a line on here eh? thebooler and GWR1979 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply not a good idea to support Houston ,King or Graham on RM. My point is how strange another Rangers forum has polar opposite views. Someone's not being objective and no surprise both look in the opposite direction rather than look within. Have you not seen similar criticism on Facebook and Twitter? And it is similar. So ££ posters are correct, and just about everyone not on ££ are wrong? Have I got that right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right lads i'm away back across to ff ( deary me ) I've told you quite clearly my angle but you chose not to accept it - I don't wan't King or any of the scumbags that's found theirselves in positions in our boardroom since Whyte. It's not a question anymore of King or Somers/Whyte/Lambias etc ... I am saying quite clearly NONE OF THEM. We need better. Yes the boycott helped Ashley get his paws in as he had cash waiting to keep the lights on while we were getting starved of cash for certain periods of the year when we hit short-falls. He stepped in, loaned us 5-million and only when it was repaid were we able to serve notice on the retail deal (a deal which your pal King said on record he could "live with it") ... even Sandy Easedale had to lend us a million quid to stop us going into admin and take it back when we sold Lewis McLeod.

We had folk on here that was giving it biglicks to McMurdo ( jnr ) - Why. Craig is certainly not perfect but over the years he's most certainly gave it a go to help the Rangers and rid us of the spivs and like or loathe him he merits some respect for that alone..
