Address the man's points not who he is, or maybe affiliated too. I've been a board supporter for long enough but recent events do not sit well with me. I see no vision, leadership or action other than to give Laxey 15% for a short term loan.
If the current shareholders do not want to dilute their investment (which I can fully appreciate why they wouldn't) then they need to demonstrate to the fans through communication, forthrightness about our position and our strategy for the next 5 years.
We cannot choose to ignore a very public statement by King. People of his calibre generally do not stand above the parapet so if he has chosen to do that, then we should pay heed to what he has to say.

What is worrying is that the schism between Board Hater and Board Lover prevents valid questions and answers of this board.
We are NOT in a good position. We NEED to cut costs. We have very LOW fan engagement.
On top of this, the board are being quick with the financial position we find ourselves in and everything seems to hinge on season book money. A relatively low value of loan attracted a high fee % and is ALSO secured against assets worth significantly more?
Those who feel these don't deserve addressing by the board can only be described as this:

I thought better of you.
I am not comparing numbers, I am comparing a man we all despise taking a loan against ST returns, with no club security, to a board that has taken another loan against ST money, with security of property to the tune of 5x the value of the loan.

I think the sensitive souls like me would find it hard to get behind a VB action because of the overt PUL association. I have lots of sympathy for PUL, I'm Unionist and come from a Protestant heritage, but I really hate what religion does to our country.
I'd like to hate Celtic fans for 90 mins for the simple fact they are our great rivals, without me being tarred with some sectarian bigot label, which is what religion has done.
For me, the greatest thing Protestantism and the Reformation did was set us free and allow us to think for ourselves. I see the natural evolution of that as leaving religion behind totally.

You always do, you have no opinions of your own. You take a contrary position on anything just to troll.

True, I've never articulated an opinion on here. I fail at the Internet.

Ah this thread, its like.................... every other post in the Off Topic Forum.

If anyone attacked rangers traditions on here the thread would be massive and that would be without the new influx of posters in the last day, some would think this site is being used for that sole purpose the way this thread reads, certain posters are going out of thr way now making a mountain out of a mole hill, it's not needed or justified.
