Don't shareholders deserve reassurance in the face of constant media scare stories though? This is why we need a competent PR/communications function, something we've always lacked.

I wasn't talking about Wallace. You said King would be wise to "hold off". For what? The January sales?

Hold off? For what, administration? What a great idea.

Apparently so.

It appears King has made his involvement conditional on his buddy Paul being involved.

Should we all be grateful to a minted fan for giving interviews to the gutter press saying how much trouble we're in while refusing to invest a single penny? King and the Murrays must have been furious at this weekend's results.

I'm there, dudes

Are you a regular contributor, Gogz?

In which case, our squad of 55 paid players could be shrunk by more than 50% and we wouldn't even notice it.

I plan to join Rangers Chat more often. I feel the need to unload...

Imagine a Bear blogging about Celtic being an abomination of a club which employed men who raped innocent kids and whose ground was used as a vehicle to raise funds to facilitate the murder of Catholics in Northern Ireland. If Celtic issued a statement objecting to this blog, would Delahunt read it out in full while Spew Keevins praised VB's work in highlighting incidents of double standards in the Scottish media?

I can confirm that's exactly how it happens. I helped to introduce a new member just a few weeks ago.

Sterling defence of himself from poor, innocent, put-upon Mark. One question he hasn't answered, though: if he did nothing wrong and was in fact the victim not the perpetrator of hacking, why on earth did he resign? Anyone?

According to the RST's Christine Somerville, normal practise is for the RST to advise their members of new appointments and departures from the board at the AGM only. If ever a well-intentioned organisation lost its way completely, it's the RST. What a self-deluded mess it's become. And Graham Wallace sought the counsel of these people? Oh dear.

Let's not forget, when this story first broke, MD appeared on FF and tried hard to blame VB and Jack Irvine for spreading malicious lies. Nice try! VB has every right to publish this account of a very bitter, damaging public fight between recently departed RST board members and the Rangers support has every right to know all about it.

I really would prefer not to say any more at this stage. Suffice to say if the stories I've heard are even partially correct, there's been a significant amount of self-interest on display with scant regard for the financial health of the club.

If the true story of McCoist's recent exploits ever becomes public knowledge, let's just say he won't be remembered with too much respect by Rangers fans.

I believe the club would be open to the idea of ring-fencing money invested by fans. I don't see ST money being used for this, which I know has also been suggested. I'm interested in this as a concept, certainly.

In that case, "Out of Africa", "1984" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" are all anonymous works as the writer of each book used a pseudonym.

Spot on. Plus his, "Oh, we need cuts to the playing squad? That's news to me and to a lot of other people" after several months of a vicious battle for control of the club over the state of the finances was just embarrassing.

Excellent point. Far too often, Ally treats the support as if our heads fasten with Velcro. He has to stop it or people will lose respect for him.

I didn't understand that claim. The piece wasn't anonymous, it was written by The Ref.

So your analysis of this thread is it's either "Ally out" or "Wallace out", you're not sure which? Very incisive. Thanks for that.

I know, in't it terrible? Imagine a 4 page thread leading to implicit criticism of our faultless management team. Scandalous. Honestly, I should be banned or else RM should be closed down and replaced with a site full of pics of Ally's greatest goals.

We all know it's McCoist who's making these decisions. Every time anyone tries to stop him (Green, Hart, Stockbridge) they leave the club soon afterwards. That's why I'm increasingly convinced this 120 day review will have no real output, other than some minor tweaks spun as tough action from no-nonsense GW & his trusty sidekick, and will gradually fade into nothing.
