Ozblue 4,332 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I try not to be partial, but King appears to be willing to do more than his opponents and recent predecessors in restoring our Club to its rightful place, so I think we have to back him.Of course we have to back him,even if he is gilding the Lily with that letter, because quite frankly we have no alternate options other than these guys to take us forward in the near future (unless I've missed something).We had fans on here creaming their pants when Ashley started playing around with our club,thinking he was going to pour multiple millions into Rangers that would take us back to winning the Premiership within 2 seasons, when common sense told you it was never going to happen for the benefit of Rangers,mainly due to the fact the SFPL/SFA were never going to allow him to do so in lieu of shares or influence in the running of the club.So what were our options apart from D. King and his partners in stealth? None to be exact.Dave King might be a shady cunt but he isn't stupid; He knows if he doesn't get the show on the road with a positive outcome, he will lose more than the 20 million quid he blew to Moonbeams because failure for us getting back to the top asap will be the catalyst for us sliding into a very deep hole that we might never get out of again; or at least in my lifetime.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 In the letter he mentions his father. Why does he feel the need, has he not told us before that his dad was a policeman who didn't like the football, resented it, and grudged taking him to a game. I can't remember what audience he was talking to that time, but, which was it?I have just been sent this.A quote from daily mail interview says his father resented football and was very anti football.

Drunk and disorderly. 15,068 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My father wasn’t at all keen on me becoming a Rangers supporter. He was a Glasgow policeman and because of that he resented the whole football scene in Glasgow.‘He was actually very anti-football. When we were kids growing up he was very vocal on his dislike of the bigotry in football. The police in Glasgow at that time saw it as a basis for thuggery.‘He saw what it did from a crime and disorder point of view in Glasgow. And as a family we were taught to reject the whole bigotry aspect surrounding football. That has stayed with me through the years.‘My father took me to that first game reluctantly, but I clearly remember seeing Ritchie, Shearer and Caldow in the classic Scot Symon team. It would have been 1965 or so and I was 10.‘Thereafter there were so many players I admired. Greig, McKinnon, Ralph Brand, Jimmy Millar. But it was never about individuals. It was more about the club.Should we burn or drown him for dragging his father to the football? How very dare he support our team. RAGING!!!!!!!Can we safely assume his dad paid for them to get in?Is there an article on his grandad too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 "I do not believe we should talk in exact numbers because we do not know precisely how much it will cost to rebuild and restore this wonderful Club."Imagine someone wanting money to improve his business going to a bank or even the "Dragon's Den" and saying that, whilst wanting investment. At best they'd say "Go get your business plan with the exact numbers" rather than just shaking their heads incredulously I sometimes wonder how gullible our owners and boards thinks the ordinary fan is.

GioVB 8 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 You're not suggesting that King is a glib & shameless liar are you??!!You can't say that sort of thing on here, because his fandans are lapping up everything that proceeds from his mouth Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 91 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Regardless of what we think of King the facts are there for all to see.1: We have him and thats the way it will stay.2: we still need to open our wallets if we want results.You don't need to like either of those points but accepting them is the only way we will get ourselves back on top.It's simple as that really.

Stoorie 1,090 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The only time Rangers players will now see Ibrox is on match days.If the club has a future we must train our own players David MurrayRangers chairman"It is not only significant for Rangers, but for Scottish football it was long overdue and needed," said Murray."It is something every Rangers supporter can be very proud of."Cricket grounds and muddy rugby pitches are not the places to put £50m or £60m worth of players."Murray Park covers 38-acres and includes six full-size pitches, two half-size, an indoor pitch and training centre.It is split into two halves: one area devoted to the first team squad and the other for youth development.Medical equipment available to club doctor Gert Jan Goudsward is state-of-the-art, while a £50,000 video editing suite will see Dick Advocaat linked to a camera operator by walkie-talkie during each training session so footage can be shown in a lecture room afterwards.It was never built as a youth academy.
