If they don't - we don't renew our ST's, and go to Ibrox and pay game by game. Transparency is required here by the Board, and Club1872, who haven't challenged the Board properly of late. This is a great idea. Yous all boycott season tickets. And i renew mine but with a transfer to a better seat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I can’t see how that would work. We certainly need change and investment but I’m not sure there is really anyone out there who’ll want to buy out King and the 3 bears. Certainly there’s been no sign of that has there? Off course some of the ITK posters may know more but it’s always saddened and surprised me that no one with good intentions has sought to buy Rangers.

Maybe our brand is now toxic after being involved with so many people with less then impeccable character. There is nobody in their right mind who would invest with Dinky in charge, either that or Trump wants another laugh after he leaves the White House.

Do we bring in another new manager and start over again, hoping to win the league within 2 years to stop 10IAR? Or does Murty stay on? Don't think it will matter bud with either option, we are where we are with custodians all fur coat and nae knickers buying from the second haun rail, until we can get some investment in (yup that auld chestnut) to buy quality players we are at a level that can only stay where it is without some new money! cstamomusa, thebooler and Blue Avenger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,332 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Mistake me if I am wrong but, wasn't this tried in 2014/15 and that trick proposed by King was close to being lethal? No chance of withholding it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears r us 30,816 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I can understand why @thebooler started this thread, it is out of utter exasperation and the feeling of not being able to see where we are going as a team and winning 55. Having said that I thought it was wrong the last time when King tried to do it and I feel the same when Booler brings it up this time. I am not sure what it will take for the majority of fans to demand we get a manager and team able to challenge for 55, but that will have to happen before we get what we expect from our board and custodians of our Club. thebooler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
