The Daily Fail

[jebus197 20]

First of all well done all bears for an amazing turn out last night. We showed the world that we are indeed the people!

However as much as despise this hack rag, the Daily Mail today make something of a fair point regarding the payment of wages and Charles Green's business model http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2185026/Rangers-4-East-Fife-0.html Unlike some I am behind Green and have been from quite an early point. People seemed to despise the idea that he was a businessman and in it to make money. But the objections to this were among some of the stupidest I've ever heard. Running Rangers like a (legitimate) business by a guy who understands how to run a business and how to make it profitable is exactly what we need. It's amateurs and idiots (and criminals) with no business savvy whatsoever that fucked it all up for us to start with.

But I do still worry. Running a football club as a business is a notoriously tricky thing to do right. I would love to see us do it right and to keep our books balanced - and to not slip into debt by doing things we can't afford. But think the Daily Mail may have a point, which is that we can't afford to let our guard slip. Last night 38,000+ was a real statement. But we need to make sure we can make that same statement week after week, month after month until our fightback and return to the SPL is complete.

From what I can work out, Green's business model seems to depend on a return to the SPL within maybe 3 years max. But this it completely down to us. If we get complacent, or give up, or get bored we could well end up up shit creek again.

If we want everything we have fought for, to make our club healthy, to balance our books, to watch on the sidelines as week by week we watch as all our enemies in the SPL sink and struggle without us, then the real test of loyalty is if we aren't just there for one night, but are prepared to tough it out for the long haul.

It was a stunning turn out guys - and two fingers up to all of those guys who thought they could keep us down for good. Now's the time to show the world who they are really dealing with!

Forget three years. The SPL in its present form won't exist in 12-months. A revamp of Scottish football will "miraculously" take place and, guess what....Rangers FC will be invited to the top table of this rejigged SPL/SFL bastard child.

Part of me wants that - another part of me (my arse) wants us to tell the SPL (or what's left of it by then given that at least three of its clubs will be in administration or worse) to go and take a running fuck.

The SFL and Rangers will be the stronger of the two set-ups.

Come that time, I hope our owners remember that.

Listen to your arse CB its talking a lot of sense

[GeneralCartmanLee 313]

We will be in the spl next season.

The wages quoted for players are totally made up by the press.

I don't think the business model is greens problem. Keeping the fans attending this season and most importantly subscribing to the share issue are his biggest problems

I think its going to happen for next season also with us either invited into the new SPL 1 or the new SPL2.

I couldnt give a fuck about other clubs financial plight or demise but I will take great pleasure on us destroying them on the pitch.

For me its about us and only us.

[Rfc#1. 1,877]

Meh......greens doing alright so far,fuck the press.

A proper businessman at the helm at Rangers is exactly what we need, rather than someone like Whyte or Murray.

As much as I'd like to be back playing in the top league as soon as possible, I sincerely hope Mr Green declines any invite to join a new set up.

I want to see the Rangers winning Divisions 3, 2 & 1. And THEN we'll be ready and prepared for our assault on the top league title again.

With no European football for 3 years at least, there's no need to hurry back to the top league, and I don't want us in the top league before we're ready as a team to compete with those rabid bastards across the city.

We'll be the 1st team worldwide to have won every league in our country, adding to our already illustrious history.

And more importantly, it'll let us see how the SFA and SPL deal with the many clubs who WILL go into administration.

They also said, prior to the CVA rejection that CG's business model depended and the spHELL and CL football, yet hes still here

No Surrender Charlie Green!

[Smile 26,622]

I'd prefer to decline any new corrupt SPL League and fight through the divisions.

This is scary , I am agreeing with you GCL ,

I'm also inclined to say 'let the SPL go fuck itself!'. But it's us who can make that happen. All it takes is or loyalty and our support for the long haul. There will be consequences, believe me. A lot of our enemies will go under without us.

It's amazing how much the other fans out there hate us. I was reading the Hearts forum about our win last night. All sorts of accusations about us cooking the books on the numbers and how we have robbed them by cherry picking some of the best players in Scottish football before the transfer ban kicks in. It's no joke, they really do want to see an end to us and our club. That's how we got where we are now. It has fuck all to do with 'sporting integrity.' It's blind hatred plain and simple.

Our job is to make sure that never happens - and to stick around long enough to be the last man standing if necessary - and to see these bastards pay big time for what they have done.

Nothing will get up their noses more than our run away success. That can't happen without the fans staying on board. Lets make it happen is what I say.
