BigChap 15 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 After reading the Walter Smith interview I thought I'd give my opinions.We need a clean sweep of the board, get anyone with an axe to grind or a personal agenda, and there are plenty of them, to buggery, Smith going to the media doesn't help, sorry but he's another "old boy" with fingers in pies and I'm sick of it all. Every other day we have some bloke in a Rangers blazer or tie giving his two pence worth and frankly, and I know this won't be popular, they can all do one. Smith is worth millions, where was his money when we were going down the pan? None of our former players who are also millionaires put their hands in their pockets to save us from our recent humiliations yet they seem to think that their opinions matter and are happy to take a few quid from one of our awful newspapers to spew their nonsense.The same names keep getting banded about but if they weren't around when things went pear shaped they ain't going to be around now, unless they too can make a quick buck out of our great club.Let me ask you this; If you won the lottery, say 10 million quid, would you invest in Rangers? I think most people on here would do something to help not just run to the Daily Record or Herald and say how much you love the club and that you want to be involved.Personally I'm hoping that we can eventually get new owners and a new board made up from a few wealthy business types and fan representation that actually wields a little bit of power so we can move on, creating a lasting business plan with a good team, good training facilities and a bank account which stays within the limits of normality.Does anybody on here reading this now not just wish that we could open the papers and only see stories about Rangers the football team and not Rangers the soap opera? Well maybe the odd player shagging his mates wife or punching a ned outside a bar but that's all part of the fun of football.Let's stop giving the obsessed something to talk about other than the amount of goals we score and how good looking our fans are.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Walter should stay clear - he's walked out on us 3 times now including recently with still no apparent reason He's had his time - thanks for the memories Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Good OP wanting a clean slate followed by a poster wanting to bring back all the old has-beens. Only names missing were SDM and Bain. Wish a real bear could win the Euromillions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKaiJohansen 118 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can't really disagree with the OP. The point about Smith and the rest of the ex players is a great one, they're all happy to tell everyone they're Rangers through and through but I doubt many of them contributed much towards the RFFF or the club when it was at it's weakest. Sadly there's too many supporters out there who can't see past the hall of game status for some that deserve criticism at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosebrad 452 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I agree with 1st Jan, I am happy to give them a chance until someone can give me facts and proof they are not the people to move us forward, afterall a lot wanted Ally out when most said give him a season without all the usual shit, maybe the board deserve the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board (for the most part) have seen us through our darkest days and deserve the time to make a go of it.Others would promise the earth and jump on the bandwagon now the hard work has been done.We don't need that.

Cherster Perry 1977 18 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The clean slate approach is pointless.Nothing really changes.Grievances need to be heard, accuations adressed or backed up, responsibility taken.A clean slate just papers over the cracks. And at the moment that would last about a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney 241 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Nonsense. We scrap the current board, get a new one, and say for arguments sake Paul Murray still doesn't get on board, he will then go about with an ace to grind again. Then what? Scrap it and start it again?Do we just keep scrapping and starting again until people stop running to papers with lies and scaremongering? in other words, do we just keep scrapping and starting again until Mini gets his suit n' tie back?Point blank propaganda which we should not fall victim to.

Blueshoff 11,919 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I get the feeling the main reason Walter walked out was because he realised he was there as a gesture and had no power or influence over what was going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,919 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Clean slate call is probably due to being sick of all this and neither side coming out of this drawn out affair with any credit. And who can argue with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he was there, everything was OK.However, when he left, it just brought further confusion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I never made that clear. The point I'm making is we can't start all over because of all the bad press, otherwise anytime somebody new wanted in, all they had to do was kick up a fuss, spread some lies and unsettle the fans via a few statements and interviews. That's the propaganda I'm referring to and that's what Paul Murray and co have been doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
