Statement from A Johnston

[Young Bob 1,360]

Looks like AJ has brought no investment with him. Just have to file him alongside Paul Murray now. Why are we paying for their hospitality?

[Jimfanciesthedude 25,620]

I truly cannot deal with the tarriers getting 10iar, this board seems desperate to give them it

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

A case of a maverick engaging of gob before engaging brain and common sense and clearing lines of what to say with the Board?

The net effect, whether he thought about the consequences or not, is the creation of an impression of a snake-oil salesman consumed by his own product.    Few may take what he said as being remotely credible.       

I recall he said in a reasonably recent interview that the Board was not deaf and blind to what was happening and to the views being expressed by the Support in general.    The way I see it, by their inaction and inability to provide visibly top quality leadership and decision taking, they are indeed deaf and blind to what is happening and demonstrating a spectacular lack of ability get an executive grip on how to get a credible manager at Ibrox and a credible team on the park.    

Hiding under the flimsy skirt of alleging that sufficient progress is being made is nothing more than delusional imo.

Perhaps the man who is King and Chairman would care to do the job of a proper leader and honour the privilege he has for now of being the top man at Rangers, the supposed voice of authority at Rangers, and explain to the Support exactly what his Board will be doing to get a proper grip and to say what they will be doing to put a proper Rangers side on the pitch under a proper manager competing properly at the highest level of their ability to win title 55.  

Or does the board assume that all this stuff this season so far is just noise that will quieten down soon enough and most will renew ST's anyway.......ie the do nothing ostrich head in sand option because it'll all blow over soon enough and when push comes to shove most ST holders will renew regardless of the clusterfuck.

[onefootwillie 1,519]

Not in touch with the fans , really desperate. So far off the mark 

[King Jela 21,687]

I don’t even know what to say to that. Just,  wow! Totally and absolutely baffling stuff to come out with. Full board are needing chased out of Scotland, never mind Ibrox. Absolute disgrace.

very calm, peaceful and laid back statement regarding all our current ills. No knee jerking or finger pointing just an optimistic view that things are under control.

I read it getting angrier and angrier. Visualise the self satisfied blazers gathered round the mahogany table, rosey cheeks and smug expressions, drinking the finest whisky, patting each other on the back for us getting promoted from the 3rd, 2nd, (then two goes at) getting out the first.  All of a sudden they tell us that maybe getting to 3rd in the Premiership is "ahead of the curve" 

Theyre happy to see Rangers underachieving while this shitty country laughs and watches as if we are a sitcom. They think we are a thick horde that will be satisfied with that cos they say we should.  They are killing our club.

“So you have to look back. The fans have been terrific, as I would have expected them to be, to hang in there and hopefully they will be rewarded.”

The board have taken our loyalty for granted.

[McEwan's Lager 32,076]

We have literally ended up with the same old useless board we had under Murray. 

Murray turned into a prick but at least he had a brain unlike the restaurant of the idiots.

The only thing that would be worse now would be Martin Bain coming back.

[Guardian 4,281]

Asked yesterday why the board seemed so out of touch they werent even putting out the usual patronising statement telling us how they kndw so much more than the fans.

Looks like I got an answer.

Johnston has always been a liar. I remember his claims the tax bill was a matter for Murray metals, not Rangers. He was bullshitting us then and still is.

He was brought in first time round to bring in american investment through his contacts there, or so we were told. Seems little has changed. Its still keep paying now and you'll get yer jam tomorrow.

"The fools dont realise tomorrow never comes" cackles King sounding like Hedley La Marr in Blazing Saddles.

I think the fans have had enough and this daft statement is just throwing petrol on the fire. I'm dismayed they are so amateur and badly advised, they would not see how this statement would go down.

 

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Well that just boils my piss. 

Nothing but a shower of deluded cunts, you had a bad weekend did you AJ, flown over at our expense wined and dined at our expense didn’t cost you one brass penny ya fucking clueless surrender no cunt. 

We are fucked, I mean really fucked that shower of scum will go trotting along to 55 and these cunts will say we are ahead of the curve. 

Too fuckng angry to say anything else need to put the phone down before I launch it throw the front window. 

[dummiesoot 16,268]

Mr Surrender, No must think we button up the back. Useless prick should stay in the good ol' US of A

[The Godfather 75,725]

Old decrepit tit of a guy 

Get him and his cancerous pals to fuck 

Our club is dying under these wankers make no mistake 

[D'Artagnan 13,319]

That interview is truly frightening. They really think they are doing a good job.

with 4th in the league being the target - and 2nd or 3rd being ahead of the curve.

Come to think about it, it makes the 'Going for 55 campaign' and King saying on record twice recently that we need a lot more for the money we've spent in relation to the players we've signed. It flies in the face of all that if we are really ahead of the curve, doing great etc.

That was absolutely embarrassing they done that, blatant false message to try and sell tickets. Then that twat Gilligan saying bring on the celtic after we just scraped a win against Inverness. I don’t think they even watch the games.

I've often wondered that myself (watching games) ... I mean they sit in the Directors Box every game, what the fuck do they actual watch? can they not sense the moods and groans or at the very least watch the same pish we do?

Restaurant ? 

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

It’s not a football club for these cunts it’s not a huge part of their life. 

They treat our football club like some gentleman’s club where they sit in luxury and have a laugh and joke about life. Occasionally  ask what the score is, oh dear we are getting beat again chaps, oh well never mind where’s the waiter with my single malt. 

Fuck off the lot of you.

Exactly.

We are the ones with the tattoo's, the ones that have to go into work and face taigs, the ones that are the brunt of jokes, the ones that spend our money (sometimes money we can't afford) on bus dues/match tickets/season tickets - we are the are the lifeblood of the club - these cunts just take.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

These cunts sit there telling us we are fine, we are ahead of the curve. 

Sitting telling us the fans that put millions into the club not asking for one penny back just give us a winning team and a well run club we can be proud of, we spend money every weekend following Rangers a good lot of us can’t really afford but we do because we love our club. 

Tell us King Mini AJ and the rest of you, just who much money have you put into Rangers that you will never see again???

Not a fucking penny, with your cheap shares and expenses paid, you sicken me the lot of you. 

[Bad Robot 21,513]

Deluded useless fkn prick 

[Rambo1872 4,065]

This reads to me and is a blatant admission that the board are happy to give them 10 in a row and have no intention of splashing any substantial cash. It confirms those who are on the fence about renewals fears. Reptiles the lot of them.

[delparlane 6,001]

Are we positive that statement wasn't written by the late Rod Serling? Walloper is tearing a page from Trump's book and thinks we're too daft to suss it. FFS. 

[gsa 3,906]

Most of my information on Rangers comes from on here. 

I don't really get much of an opportunity to talk about Rangers or spend time with many other fans in the real world. 

Are we an unusual bunch on RM? Are the rest of the Rangers support quite content with the way the club is being run? That's a genuine question. 

I honestly believe that if we let Peter Lawell, Rod Stewart and Neil Lennon run our club, they'd struggle to sabotage it more than the morons we have in charge. 

Breathtaking incompetence at every level, yet they seem quite pleased with themselves? What's going on?

 

[MattyBlue 17,674]

Mind blown, reading that just felt light a mighty hook right to the solar plexus.

What an absolute fucking cunt.

These bastards need chased ASAP
