What’s this mate? 

Wee bit of info I heard earlier, surprised it’s not being openly discussed, offered his resignation then an hour later heard he was gone. Shame really but if you can’t read the room your disconnected and best to move on. Don’t forget your bread and butter would be my motto 🇬🇧🥳👍

Do you think this is accurate mate? Seems strange the story has not broken considering his position.

Which is why I've never had any time for the argument that we need so-called hot-shot Scottish entrepreneurs with 'Rangers connections' running the show. Characters like Alastair 'expenses' Johnston, King, Park and the rest of them, who lack the skills and connections to leverage significant external investment in the club, but pursue their own interests, which sometimes coincide with those of the club, sometim s not. We get mediocre leadership, plus the hypocrisy. 

Need to balance that with the fact that the Rangers connected ones have thrown money into what is effectively a black hole as far as their returns on it are concerned. Unassociated folk wouldn't have done that.

Of course Robertson should have said no but think it's madness to absolve him of any blame, he's a fucking parasite.

a parasite, a tad over the top

The board are totally to blame. They knew it would cause issues. Didn't consult any fan groups or think twice about cosying up with a club who; covered up child abuse, wanted titles stripped from us, insist we are dead, refuse to call us by our name, insist we are cheats and despise everything we stand for. 

They should be trying to calm the situation down, not inflame it. Starting fights with the fan groups and supporters who pay their wages for a diddy tournent that nobody wants. If they double down and refuse to take up King's offer they will soon be out of a job. 

this this this

and the fact the shameless bastards in the east end leaked it on that big news day is just pissing all over our board again and if these idiots haven’t seen it before surely they can see it now 🤬

Spot on. The board knew full well what the backlash to this was going to be. They didn't care as they see it as a quick payday. 

I dount very much they take the king offer. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they do press ahead with this.

 I dont think it even occurred to them just how strong the reaction would be.

Agreed.  I think their arrogance and bloody-mindedness will make them go ahead regardless.

and fuckin brainless hartson all over the papers telling that club to tell "Rangers to shove the 700 tickets"
it's as if they've been coached to pile on when any negative story about us hits the headlines. 
IF this lot don't waken up to the fact this needs finished as soon,as it will bite them on the erchie,and they will NEED the money on offer from the NSW government to cover a shortfall in ST sales and the other income sources like mygers and RTV.

If we were 10 points clear at the top of the table and cruising to a £40m windfall next season would this all be getting as much attention and outrage?

I doubt it.

 So basically after a season of a few people pointing out footballing flaws, and being called "shitebags", the real shitebags are those that are now hysterical over old field issues and sabotaging any chance of success this season.

November is a long way away and all this talk and protests should be put to one side for the moment.

So we are ashamed to go to the tournament because the filth are narrowly beating us in the league?

 As for your second paragraph, it sounds as if the board wrote it. 

BTW U R a shitebag.

I get that but it’s too important to be causing bother during vital league games at this time of the season.

Or they couldve just shut this whole fucking farce down the day after Bisgrove got his arse handed to him and we wouldn't be discussing it today. Pretty clear the board are pressing on with this regardless.

Of course they are. I just don’t think the team needs any distractions at the moment.

Plenty of time at the end of the season for protests or season ticket renewals.

In saying that if we do go I’d be it milking from our end as an end of our 150th anniversary year tour old firm etc. I’d send the u18 too

How do you protest at the end of the season other than not renewing which would absolutely fuck the club?

You can easily protest outside the stadium have disruption at Auchenhowie there’s plenty of ways. Don’t buy any tickets for pre season games. Don’t use the club shop.

Protest outside an empty stadium and training ground? Aye that will do it. We only get about 20k at pre season games anyway.
