course its a pisstake lads.... but banks loan to differrent clubs....therefore have "influence"
SFA cannot say who we borrow from.
Rik would all be with Ashley but he can easily bear that risk.
Loan paid down at 1m a year when stable.
then he sponsors referees!!!
If i were ashley I would take them on... he did after all put competitor clothing companies out of business
-
Well it could happen.... Its close to his Newcastle model.

Sorted!
F the SFA

Some of us watched Celtic win 9IAR when we were at school
Some of us stood on cold uncovered terracings in the snow watching crap football
Some of us lived through John Grieg and Davy White managing
Some of us follow follow
Some of us will support evermore
Some of us are Rangers till we die
Some of us won't walk away
Some of us are loyal
Some of us Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity.
Some of us remeber pre-souness Gascoine and Laudrup and 9IAR
Some of us even support for 90 minutes
Some of us support the club, the players, the fans, see ourselves as family
Some of us waited in 1971 to see if our Dads would come home with our mother in tears
Some of us are Ready
Some of us will not surrender
Some of us will be at Ibrox tomorrow and support the team that wear OUR strip.
Some of us remember 1972 and the glory days that will surely return
......and some of us will boycott, for a whole range of reasons they will make a justification for, be it the board or Ally or the poor football.
Make your choice my friends. Your club needs you now just like it did when we were demoted. There is a war on. There are 2 sides.
-
I think a spiv should have money as the main raison detre for involvement in club. I think ally has been worn down and the term spiv is not best for him.
He might be near top of bad managers league though. And for holding us together at start I will be forever grateful. People are often a mix of good and bad traits
-
Ok ok i dont like the term either. I see in boardroom and in other Place that Ally is now being called a spiv... which got me thinking... who is most spiviest and who has let us down in other ways
So we could have like several league tables... Like Naismith isnt really a spiv but has let us down
Soooo... What should the tables be called... and who is top of each
Ill give a starter for 10.
Spiv League 1
Whyte
Green
Stockbridge
Ahmed
Other let down
Naismith
Ally moving up fast
and another GOOD table of those who have done well by us over the course
Id have to have Ally at top for all he did in early days
Those that left and got us transfer fee
-
I remember the boos. I remember the 70s FFS
Jim denny and co
Still never booed
-
However my lottery ticket is looking the most likely of the two to come up
-
Everyone has the opportunity of redemption.
Promotion and starting to play a high tempo modern pressing passing attacking entertaining game. (There are a million models of this out there)
A Strategic signing policy.
Player development with youth coming through
Ability to change a game and not be a mini Walter.
Im always an optimist… thats why I buy a lottery ticket!
The cups and the Celtic game I could forego if the above were delivered

When my boy was born 16 years ago, I almost called him Alastair.
Wife almost allowed Greig Baxter then my surname!!
I eventually settled on a middle name after my greatest footballing Inspiration from a country on the other side of the world.
How many of us are named after a player or have named our kids after a player.
And how does it feel if your kid is named after someone who subsequently disappoints??
-
Lol Jack
How many of us have (almost) got in a scrap watching out Kids play.
I know its wrong but…….
-
My wee boy plays football and watching him has been one of my greatest pleasures over the last 12 years. I encourage him. I support him. I do not boo him….
… Rangers are family.
I do not boo the players or the manager. I support them.
I actually find this easy!
The product is what it is, we are in trough years as Struth predicted.
This is when family must stick together.
This is not a defence of poor management or poor tactics… it is a support of my family!
They will forever have a warm place in my heart.
We need to stop this divisiveness, this cancer from within is ripping the heart out of my family more than any boardroom spiv could do

King : "The following are the names that can presently be disclosed and are subject to any changes once we get to the final contract stage. Paul Murray, George Letham, George Taylor, Andy Ross, Barry Scott. There are another 3 individuals who are unwilling to have their names released until a transaction has been agreed in-principle. I confirm that the names will be given at that time. I am aware of the individuals and am certain you will have no difficulty with them. I confirm, Sandy, that you are the only person I have shared this list with."
I thought that faceless individuals we unnacceptable. Ipse dixit
King :"Sandy asked me to clarify our intention re his/James ongoing involvement in the board if our proposal is ultimately implemented. I advised him that my personal view was that I had no difficulty working with them"
So King and co were happy to keep the Easdales on board. Fair enough.
-
I could have had Naomi Campbell.... no really....
She was walking down the street and if I had just managed to slip the wife then.........
-
Without doubt v Bayern 72.
This.....all blue....Sandy....fabulous
-
green socks FFS.
Sometime my wife will bring home something in a dark green " You'll look nice in this"
"No I wont be wearing that"
Immature for a man in his 50's I know but...

ASDA and the the Albion both take too long to get out of . I live to the west and park at the wee car wash just further along the road from pizza hut. £10 for a mini valet and my car is safe . Its not too long a walk and the traffic is quick. Its only place I get car wahed. If I see you there say hi!!!. Silver clio tomorrow

For me it was easy. Follow follow. Rangers till I die. No surrender.
We will fight till the day is done.
We follow Glasgow Rangers, our hearts are strong and true.
If they make them play on the streets then I'll support them from the pavements!
We don't do walking away
The Struth forecast about troubled times.
These words are ingrained in my psyche!
I remember 66 dying for the privilege of supporting us.
So boycotts and the like never worked for me although I respect others views, and would wish to welcome you back now.
I have revelled in the fact that I have followed through these troubles with colleagues at work waiting for me to break. They'll wait a long time. I was at school during Celtics 9IAR! I was born Rangers. I will die Rangers! I will be there no matter what!
Some former players don't always go and I saw Carson talking about if John Grieg goes back then he will. Remember Grieg was treated badly but he perhaps does not have the business expertise required at a modern boardroom. Walter too. I love and admire them as I do Ally. But players and managers, they often leave. We are different. we are the permanence, the stability. We after all... are the people!
Lily must be in her 80s.... sits behind me, she kept going and struggled to get here... though I've not seen her recently.
So gentlemen, I give you Bobby Brown, one of our oldest surviving players and a regular attender. He supports the team. He's been around longer than all of us. We all should share that DNA. Lets get back with Bobby and support our team, our club, our players.

I dont know how to do poll
Are you
1. Going to game and have a ST even though we've been shite and the Boardroom's a mess and will keep going to support the team
2. Paying at gate ( had ST last year) even though we've been shite and the Boardroom's a mess.
3. Paying at Gate because that's what you've always done.
4. Not going for personal finance or distance reasons.
5. Not going because performances are desperate! ( FFS ...i endured Celtics 9IAR)
6. Not going as a protest against Board.
Im interested in what the make up on here is of Bears

Big Peter --- The Girvan Lighthouse.
I used to go on holiday to girvan and Peter had a sports shop which he worked in at times. Can't remember its name though might have been McCloys.
Anyway, my Dad bought me a putter... Big Peter served us. I'm still crap at golf though.
McCloy
Jardine Mathieson
Greig McKinnon Smith
Henderson Penman Stein Macdonald and Johnson
