    Done.

    I don't see much difference between the Sash and Derry's Walls. Both refer to battles, both are stirring songs and both have been sung by Rangers fans for decades. Oh, and both have been villified incorrectly by the press and I will not allow the press in Scotland to dictate my views or what I sing, and I don't accept that because we get negative press over it that it becomes "stupid" to sing them.

    Is that only because of injury to one of the preferred centre half pairing though?

    I heard one of the radio stations raving about his performance but I wouldn't say he was in the running for MOTM.

    On the other hand remember Soti got signed by Liverpool!

    I'd go for :kb: followed by Miller.

    King confirmed on RC that Duffy had contacted him. I heard him saying that prior to the article that wabash quotes, and I was surprised at the contradiction when i read it a few days after his RC statement.

    apart from the number of directors that he wants on the board, it seems.

    Bump. If anyone is interested, I still have a few left. Please PM me. Makes a great Christmas pressie. The Executive model is now �£65.

    Did they ever explain the method of counting the vots of the poll? Did they say if it was based on the nuber of shares or number of shareholders? I don't recall them explaining it.

    I don't think that you were misconstruing my views. I'd agree with a lot of what you said, but many would have said similar about Fred Goodwin a while back. I'd like to answer more fully but need to go.

    No surprise there, although the announcement was earlier than they had said. It was meant to be announced tomorrow morning at 8.30am. I wonder if this is to prevent some headlines?

    I have just been talking to Boss about this very thing. My take on it is the same as yours and it's just the same as it was, although he believes that there may be a chance that there's an extra million to be repaid.

    I was there and I don't think he escaped unscathed. I also don't consider the statements as lauding him. Using phrases like "well-intentioned" has some veiled criticism. I was actually surprised at how little praise the directors threw at Murray. You think 2 out of 4 for someone who is pulling the strings and controls over 90% of the shares is "not bad"? It seems bloody awful to me. I've already said to you on a previous thread that I don't have any evidence that Muir is a bank appointee. However some of the wording used at the meeting today was a little unusual, and describing him as "an active liaison between Murray Group and Lloyds Bank" doesn't suggest to me that he was acting on solely on behalf of MIH. There's other stuff as well that helps paint a picture. I know that you don't believe it and I can understand that, and it has crossed my mind that the noises that emerged when Muir was appointed (which were very convincing) were all a set up, but statements that have since come out haven't made me change my mind.
  15. Bluedell
    It's again possible, but I'm still of the opinion that MIH would not charge us for Murray's time. Everyone elses? Why not, but Murray enjoys the "I don't take anything out" too much to try and be sneaky and do it by the back door.
  16. Bluedell
    That's also possible. However if the fee was at arms' length then you wouldn't think that Rangers could refuse to pay it. There's nothing wrong with a Murray company charging Rangers a commercial rate for their services.
  17. Bluedell
    I wasn't accusing Johnston of lying. I was asking you if you were as your beliefs seem to contradict each other. I'm interested in how you see the 2 issues agreeing with each other. You avoided answering the question, so I'll try again. How can AJ be Murray's man if he is refusing to accept Murray appointees onto the board?
  18. Bluedell
    That's possible, although the word "discontinue" suggests it's been going on for a while. However it could have been that we were also being charged for Donald Wilson's services previously, which was accepted but now they will not accept charges for Muir and McGill.
  19. Bluedell
    Are you accusing AJ of lying when he said that they refused to accept 2 Murray appointees on the board, or how can Murray be influencing everything if he can't even insist on what board members are appointed?
  20. Bluedell
    It was THE comment that I picked up on. I was unsure whether I heard it correctly at the time so didn't feel confident enough to ask about it. The �£1.14m charged by the Murray group was "principally in relation to call centre, advertising and information technology services from them." I wonder how little the management services charge would be for the auditors not to insist on its inclusion in the description? I'd imagine it would need to be under �£200K.
  21. Bluedell
    Would Murray admit that one of his appointments was forced on him by the bank? Of couse not. It was quite telling that the Rangers directors felt strong enough to reject the majority shareholder's wishes to have 2 additional directors on the board AND announce that to the world.
  22. Bluedell
    I think I preferred it when you didn't post. :devil:
  23. Bluedell
    Thanks to the shareholders for taking this on board and sending a message. I thought that the club's handling of this wasn't too clever. McClelland's first attempt at claiming the vote was too close to call was laughable, which the second vote undoubtably proved. Why have a physical poll for this vote only? Why not every one? Perhaps they would argue that they take into account proxy votes before making that decision but it isn't clear to the shareholders. There seems to be an implication that our votes don't matter (which perhaps they don't but they could at least be up front about it).
  24. Bluedell
    Your post was too long to read. Glad we're on the same page, mate.
  25. Bluedell
    I took it as a warning that the fans just can't buy the club and everything will be OK. It's not to say that they can't but there has to be a realism as to the finance required for the on-going running of the club. I don't think it requires detailed inner knowledge of the club to come up with that conclusion and I'm sure that it would be taken account of in any proposal that's being looked at. It's just highlighting what some knew already that there is no easy answer, but it's not impossible.
