The road to nowhere.

[backup 4,724]

Many many good intentioned posts are being put forward with possible solutions as to, managers the board and investment, all of which are as with all else conjecture.

The truth is we are dead in the water, as until and when boardroom matters concerning king are resolved. Not until then can we see a clearer future, whatever that is.

Hard as it may be to contemplate it looks as if we are where we are for the foreseeable future, barring a financial miracle.

The thing that puzzles me is the lack of fan reaction to our predicament, it doesn’t take any imagination to think of the activists reaction if this was under previous boards, bedsheets and card displays included.

Being offered £11m for one of our players by a Chinese club was a bit of a miracle.  It's still hard to believe we knocked it back.

Always a sound business decision. Run at a continuous loss. Manage to secure fuck al additional revenue streams. Get offered a club record amount for a 21 year old very average striker. Immediately take out a 3 millions pound crisis loan secured against items, that if removed, would preclude the club from operating.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm one of the above looks out of place from the rest, I wonder which one is absolute shite 

[AM1872 92]

Its the arrogance that somehow being Rangers Men this current board have a monopoly on whats good for Rangers FC. Well fucking enjoy the Blue ROOM while it lasts you no talent fuckwits and watch this space. Unrecoverable tailspin plummeting towards reality/earth moment.

Dave King won't be able to return to Glasgow the way he's heading. Same with Paul Murray and the two Parks. 

There is no way that the ponzu scheme known as Club 1872 would be canvassing its members for an illegal share issue (its illegal until RFIC are out of an offer period) unless the intention is for these fuckwits to continue with Paul Murray 7 year plan to return RFC to the top of Scottish Football. It won't happen in Douglas Park, Dave King, AJ or Paul Murrays lifetimes....

We all know the answer but aren't prepared to do whats necessary. A boycott of ST renewals would solve this and leave them with a £20 million funding gap.

[AM1872 92]

The saddest thing for me is that they're going to leave a good man like Murty out to dry and ruin his career for their own failings ie no money = no RFC class players

Murty knows its all over for him and impossible for him to go back to being U20 coach having been the gaffa. This board need to take look at themselves and what they're doing to there own staffs lives and what they're doing to the silent majority of fans. They won't care but they're slowly killing us for their own pride. Thats why Gilligan left. At least he realised he's a cunt faking it.

Being offered that is hard to believe: I still find it more than strange that any chinese club would have an uncaapped player playing in a footballing backwater remotely on their radar. But then we offered a serial managerial failure free rein to spend millionns on mexican and portuguese duds. Reality and fantasy seem to be more than blurred in our operation these days.

[Bad Robot 21,292]

Is there not 14 days to make the offer?

[MurrayWilson 3,433]

Three weeks ago everything was on the up and looking good. Two results later everything is fucked, the team is pish, the manager clueless and we will never progress with this board. The board aren't  without fault but for fuck sake there is no way they wee at fault for yesterday.

Unless there’s good news round the corner that we aren’t aware of yet.

Which would be a miracle in two fronts -

1) That there’s good news at all.

2) That folk have managed to keep it quiet - every other bloody thing appears to get leaked!

There is a very sound prima facie case for failure of directors to carry out their fiduciary duties if the fairy story of an £11 million or any millions bid was indeed true.

Refusing such an alleged bid and then increasing debt by borrowing against assets, rather than taking the bid money and reducing the debt is against all sensible business practice.

Big picture, they certainly fucking were!

We are well down the road to nowhere and king looking at a turnkey for his troubles. I wouldn't have a problem visiting him, whilst he wouldn't see Whitney and the trough guzzlers for dust.

When was running a football club anything to do with sensible business practice?  The implication of your argument is that we sell our players as soon as a transfer fee is offered.  Practical in business sense certainly, not great for fans who want to see our club progress in football terms.

There is no implication and I am not arguing, simply stating fact,  professional football is a business first and like it or not a sport second.

This board simply don't have a clue how to get things done on the pitch.

They seem to stumble from one disaster to the next.

The farce that was Warburtons exit.

The appointment of Pedro. 

Appointing the DOF after the manager was already in place and spent millions. 

The mciness approach. Waiting 8 weeks and after murty had already beaten him twice to make an approach. 

We are stuck with them for the foreseeable as no one else is intersted. Unless a fan ownership can be done.

Every player has his price and every club/football manager will tell you that.

When you're living of paltry loans to survive, the club being a business has an obligation to reduce risk and prevent insolvency. We knock back an out of this world offer for a striker who consistently misses sitters and a few days later go for a Wonga type loan, hocking off even the fucking pa and wifi systems.

Do you still believe in santa clause?

BBC not trying to protect anyone. They never tell lies of course. Click bait for retards.

Strange why this buying club never confirmed anything directly, which would be usual.
