theiconicman 3,027 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 So are you going to spend £500 when you don't even know if there will be football next year?Unless you can force the SFA or SPL make a decision quicker, than yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think the only way -- perhaps the reasonable way -- forward here is for Walter's consortium to join up. Given the 6 million or so investment, surely they would control the club anyway? This can be win-win imho.I have said that over and over again ..Walter would be Chairman of the football board and they would push for two people to sit even as non exec on the PLC board McColl and Park .plus Malcolm Murray(well 3rd time lucky with that name) as Non Exec Chairman of the PLC Board and a Rangers man.and the club get the £6m plus season money and when it happens share issue money giving us a very healthy cash rich club.

debear 603 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Tell you what for a middle aged guy with a certain level of chubbyness about him, and a poor choice in neck ties, that Mark Dingwall must do a power of wife and bird sh*gg*ng going by some of the posts around here I would doubt that very much, allegedly.

MrSifter 181 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 To quote the Tv classic 'Allo! Allo!', I shall say this only once.Every Rangers ST holder could refuse to renew which will, as you state, require Green to find his cash from elsewhere.If you think that one through you will conclude that to get his money back (and make a profit) he will asset strip every last thing connected with the club that will turn him cash. (He doesn't give a fuck about our club or its traditions....he's a Yorkshire businessman...it's strictly business) So, cue Ibrox Stadium - SOLD to the highest bidding developer (and before there are cries of "It's a listed building" - it is only the Archibald Leitch frontage that is listed - a property developer need only retain that to be given permission to create anything he wanted), likewise Auchenhowie - SOLD! The Albion? SOLD! Players young and old - SOLD!!Need I go on?Mr Green hold all the aces in this little pack.People (including the RST) need to get that one into their heads pronto. What you need to get into your head is there is a serious recession on at the moment, Ibrox Stadium and the Albion is in a shitehole of an area and Auchenhowie is on land that is not currently permitted for housing development.

californiadreamin52 339 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The most worrying aspect of our new owner is the fact he was still going round this wek with the bowl to some of the previous bidders in order to buy our assets If Green remains next year we could be back at ground hog days with all that the fans have gone throught having to be repeated Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I just cant believe this man, anything that he thinks might get him in the door he shouts his mouth off about.The way i see it is Green has put up the money when no one else wanted to, he put up the most ot be put towards a CVA and that never went his way so he put in another thing saying he would still buy the assets, this guy deserves a chance.It would be good if Walter was back at the ground in a role and he still can be, Park and McColl are not going to through millions at the club so people need to get this out of their head, if they get the club.Back to MD, will he be buying a ST this year, or decade?

I do think that the supporter's organisations need to be proactive in determining what they want to see happen independent of any specific bidder. I am not willing to support Walter Smith's bid just because it is Walter Smith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 it's his tone in this article - green has done nothing wrong but step up to the plate - a more conciliatory tone of thanks and a plea to step aside perhaps but the aggression is out of order for a man who 'was' our saviour 24 hours ago - I want walter in but thanks to green for stepping up !

BEARGER 339 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Green is in it for the money and has said publicly he will leave within a year.

bailbo 9 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 totally agree with people saying green has stepped up were others just bumped there gums, if he wont sell the walter has to get McColl and park to buy into rangers then they still have a voice and could even buy enough shares to gain control that way, it's time to cut the crap and get on with things Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
