Hear hear man
im going to leave WS out of the equation though, but im glad somebody has finally told it straight down the fuckin line.
Day after day for the past 4 months ive been waiting for some multi millionaire rangers supporting businessman to put his money in, instead there was Bill Ng, Bill Miller(hang yer fuckin heid in shame Dingwall), 2 foreign investors without a love of RFC, and then the fuckin shambles that the blue knights put together. Countless investors including a guy , brian kennedy, with a personal wealth of up to 650 million, who told the admin that they had blood on their hands live on tv, because they didnt hand over our club to a bunch of rangers supporting multi-millionaires, who between them could not even raise the 500 grand for exclusivety to the books.I thought we had had it at that point.
And then there is us, the thousands who put what we can in, although most of us aint got a brass farthing between us.
I was standing in the megastore at ibrox with my son, we spent about 300 quid in there between us, just to put money in, anything.In walks this guy from Northern Ireland, just off the ferry, with his 2 sons.
"right you 2" he said to these wee bairns" ye can have anything you want, anything no matter how much of it, its going on daddies card, but when your mum asks , we stayed in a hotel ok, but we are staying at uncle davie's tonight, agreed?"The wee yins nodded and said"we dont want nothing da, but can we not just pust the rangers money through the letterbox, and well still stay at uncle davies?"
We are ordinary people from every walk of life, they 2 wee bairns must have endured a helluva journey across from ulster, but it definatley wasnt their first trip, it was their time with their da.
Just like many of us in yesteryear, or maybe for some lucky bastards they still go with the old man.
How fuckin dare anybody tell me not to buy a season book, or to protest against the guy who put the hours in, and rummaged up the money somehow to buy Rangers. I would not give a fuck if the guy had four heads, and six legs. I could not give a fuck if he went to watch yorkshire play cricket rather than sit in the directors box at Ibrox every other saturday.His straight talking, and when he finally had the money to buy Rangers, gave me the only piece of relief and positivety for 4 months in this whole sorry saga.
The back stabbing of him has started behind the scenes already, ally being told there is a plot to sack him, being abused by idiots outside Ibrox,you all know the other bits. But he is the owner, and the guy has got at least a pair of stones between his legs, something really sadly missing from the RFC hirearchy for years. Greig, johnston, bain and p murray all just left cos the couldnt take anymore suffering, bain still managed to summon up the courage to take us to court for compensation mind, poor wee soul, johnston just scared us all from tv from the states. Rangers men my fuckin arse!!!
I hope when CG decides to sell he asks McColl for 100 million to buy Rangers, then we will see if the real rangers men put their money in.Finally...........
Walter, just take your seat on the board as football chairman, give us all some transparency and a chance for some respite, but most of all, stability for a while at least , until uncle jim decides whether he is enough of a Rangers man to write a cheque in 9 figures to own us.
Rant over

Chef and NessFTW for a start
Wit! I never cause trouble on on here!
*runs off to get the rest of the team from FF*

I hate to admit it now but I was one of the fans who gave Lee McCulloch dogs abuse during some games. I apologise for that now. The guy has made me eat lots of humble pie.
Never, ever will I hear or say a bad word against him now. He epitomises everything I want in a Rangers player.
This for me too
You have to admit though he is sooo much better up front than CM
-
Name them perhaps, why a thread showing your feelings on the matter yet no names, I'll be keeping an eye out for names in due course
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the thread title. Names?
-
What if the tactics don't work, we will have owners who will be at odds with the fans, fewer sponsors, fewer players, possibly lose our manager, and all because some people who want to buy the club can't just make an offer for it.
I know, it really is quite a risky and dare I say less than honorable strategy they are employing. As I said though if it does go through, it probably will be for the best. Only thing I can do now is hope that they succeed as looks like the damage has already been done.
-
Oh well, not in support of these measures to be honest but if it does actually result in getting Smith and co in the hotseat then you won't be hearing any complaints from me.
-
Steal it ?
I understand they offered well in excess of what Green paid.
Hardly stealing.
Aside from what Green paid, he also incurred a variety of other costs, taking his outlay to around £10 million. He and his investors want to double their investment, which sounds fair enough to me.
-
I don't know I get the impression that Green is the sort of guy that won't really give a fuck.
Besides I think when most people realise that McColl et al aren't going to put up the money Green wants they will give in and buy their season ticket.
-
oldco had too much shit attached to it
Big tax case, wee tax case, debt ,ect. newco debt free Rangers is an atractive buy imo.
Honestly you would think the roles were reversed in this situation. The Rangers man who came in when the club was at its lowest, regardless of the outcome of the HMRC situation, CVA, ticketus and saved the club from the brink of extinction.
Then the vultures who came in when all was well and good (relatively), imposing manipulation in the press, using a fans favourite as a figurehead and putting pressure on the owner to simply step aside for peanuts.
You couldn't make it up!
-
We are behinf the club ffs we just want our man and charge
I know we do but it's not up to us to make this happen, it's up to them. By not getting behind the club and buying season tickets we are the ones inflicting harm.
-
Walter is the chairman if you criticise one you criticise all.
You are very naive mate, seem nice enough but very naive.
It would surprise me very little if Walter too has been at the hands of some manipulation. This all seems very un-Walter like to me.
-
Maybe i am wrong but i will presume you haven't accumlated great wealth in your life, mccoll is a billionare for a reason and it's not paying figures that are plucked out the air at a press conference for football clubs....
Not yet
-
Green has done nothing wrong, simply usurped by the better man....
Bullshit. If Green has done nothing wrong then he should be allowed to go about his business.
A better man would not try and manipulate the fans into ousting said non-wrongdoer. He would simply thank the man for his services and pay him fair compensation.
This is not Walter I am talking about here I should mention, but his backers.
-
TBK's never had the money, these guys do....a huge difference.
I'll support rangers in the best interests of the club and i think my stance will be in the best interests of the club..each to there own.
Well if they do have the money, they do not need a rally to put pressure on Green to sell. All they need is a chequebook and a pen.
-
Why will he negotiate..wait and see.....
I'm not buy a season ticket until Walter is at the club, i buy 3. No one that has went with me for the last twenty odd year is either...their are plenty more like me....green knows if he doesn't have the fans he is fucked.
I don't mind charles green at all but a better offer has come along, IMO, and i will back that.
Well that's your prerogative but IMO you are going to be doing more harm than good.
By adopting this attitude I fear we are going to have another Blue Knights vs Duff and Phelps scenario where the 'Rangers men', spurred on by the goodwill of the fans, will offer a pittance and expect Green to hand the club over as if it is their divine right.
I think the club would be much better off if everyone got behind the new owner, invested in season tickets, and let them get on with the job they came here to do.
Or, if the 'Rangers men' really want the club and really have it at heart then for God's sake buy the man out fair and square.
-
You would make an awful negotiater….
Why should Green negotiate? He's put up the cash and done the hard work so it's rightfully his.
Yes it would be nice if Walter and co bought it from him but there's no way in hell I'm going to be putting pressure on Green to sell after he's saved our club.
If they want it so much then pay the man, or invest and join the board, or else let him get on with his job as the new CEO of Rangers.
We've had enough distractions over the past year, a power struggle putting the fans in the middle is the last thing we need.
-
Why don't you rally McColl and co to give Green £20 million then the club is theirs.
-
You can't really argue with anything he's said to be honest. Get yourself signed up Wattie

Don't these fuckin half wits understand that Sky will pull the plug and each lose £1m...shittodrie season tickets are expensive.No wonder no cunt goes.
Exacty, 80 million over 5 years was is not? There's no way the sky deal will hold up with no Rangers or old firm games.
It's all right though only another 3,000 more season ticket holders and they don't need Rangers in the SPL
Let's just go to the 3rd division, fuck these cunts.
-
They may not be able to block a CVA, but could they not report us to FIFA and get us ordered with another transfer ban for not paying the full fee?
-
Haha I couldn't care either way although brianfantana summed up it perfectly
I enjoyed it
-
There isn't a difference.
It wasn't like the pics were put up without her knowledge, she even started the thread.
Whatever helps you sleep at night

Did I mention that I was a politician?
There is no simple answer to the question.
Sorry man it's a pretty easy question to answer, the fact that you don't want to answer it speaks volumes in itself.
Don't let it bother you though

There has been 100s of threads on this forum where people have got the pish completely ripped out of them, Gogsy with his kitchen etc..Never once seen anyone stick up for them!
Just find it funny the amount of people on this that think if they stick up for her they may actually have a chance with her...like she actually cares she loves the attention either way.
I think you know there's a difference in this case. A lot of people are protective of young women and rightfully so, there's a lot of hurtful people out there.
As I said though she can clearly handle it which is good to see.
McColl to officially submit bid
in Jimmy Bell's Kitroom

Wow totally never seen this coming
How long before the bid is laughed at, rejected, and reports of "Y u no accept bid?!?" emanate from the press?
