I myself am peculiarly susceptible to draughts. :)scarWildeLoyal

The OP made some excellent points but made no mention of the elephant in the room. The debate elsewhere says much about the failure of supporters' representation to date.

It's good that we both feel passionately about the future of our club. :cheers:

I'll take that as an apology for putting words into my mouth that I didn't say. A "sorry" would have been nice. FTAOD I had no input whatsoever into the article that therabbitt has just published; and no amount of smilies from you will change that fact. Muir was getting dogs abuse; I published an article balancing up the debate. It was not a rhetorical question - it was a play on "the enemy within". Imagine publishing an article that suggested that Muir actually is damn good at what he does and that he might not be quite the devil some were portraying him as for their own ends. I thought debate was good. In any event, being the best chief executive that Rangers never had wasn't much of a competition, certainly over the last 20 years. I am a backer of Rangers, not a backer of Donald Muir; that much is, indeed, clear.
-
And with the greatest of respect, you have quoted therabbitt's article in error, not my article. If you want to state therabbitt has elevated Muir to 'saviour' status then do so. But it is not helpful to say that I have done so and then use a quote from therabbitt as if it was from me.
-
I have backed no prospective purchaser and would thank you not to tell me that I have backed any horse. As you'll recall very well, I didn't cast him as a saviour; I asked the question: "Donald Muir - the Saviour Within?" It's for readers of the article to decide for themselves whether he is/was a saviour or an enemy or neither.
-
RM has never had an agenda on the sale of Rangers. And I myself have never backed any of the horses. I am keen to see and hear from Ellis (or anyone else) regarding their plans for the club before I make my mind up.
-
Go on then, tell us?
-
If the MSL-owned shares are sold, the loan crystallises and King gets nothing. There will be a shareholders' agreement in place whereby King can probably block the sale of the MSL-owned shares. Perhaps it suits Murray to retain these shares anyway; or perhaps he wants to sell and a sticking block has been King.

Seldom has an attempt at wit fallen so flat.

Publication is the sincerest form of flatulence.

@kevinthomson8 No it won't unless we sell a player or two in the next 28 days. @calscot The man who brought MF and NL together in thanks.

You're a bad man, Bluedell, a very bad man. :spl:
-
Absolutely love it.

Done. ..........

You're point is that he contradicts himself by saying nothing about something that he prints in his meeting notes? You think that anything about something would be better than nothing about anything, and everything about something would be best? Wow - you've convinced me that something about everything is wrong.
-
It's not clear from your post whether you are saying Andy Kerr said something different on the radio to what the notes of his meeting say. Having listened to the radio link above, and for the avoidance of doubt, it seems to me that Andy has been entirely consistent both in print and on radio. It's a good radio interview and it's a useful summary of the meeting.

It depends on which member of the delegation feeds stories to Thomas Jhordan. I think we should be told.
-
The financial balance that now has to be struck is this: - next year we will make a healthy profit - that might be the last year for a while that CL football is semi-guaranteed - should we spend all that profit now on new players/higher contracts - and then be saddled with a loss in 2011/12 and high wages costs which we can't sustain - or should we be just a bit more prudent and keep some of next year's profit for the following rainy-day season(s)

The bank facilities are in place through 2010 (per AJ at the AGM). The June 2010 Accounts can only be signed off (in the autumn) once we have in place the necessary bank facilities for at least 12 months from date of signing i.e. in practice through 2011. I think AJ is merely playing cautious because the unknowns at this stage include: - will we win the league! - will we qualify for the CL group stages automatically - if not, will we end up in the CL or EL after the qualifying rounds - what facilities will the bank agree to through 2011 - will Walter stay - which players will we receive bids for (Boogie, Davis, McGregor, Wilson etc) - will Boyd sign his new contract, thus using up �£18k per week of the wages budget - will MIH survive - if not, what will the impact be on our ownership - will we have new owners irrespective of the MIH position - if so, will we see an injection of funds - what will the take-up be of season tickets :: :: If businesses like certainty, we're certainly in about as uncertain a place as it's certainly possible to be. Of that, I'm certain.
-
Agreed. They could simply file late and accept the late filing penalties. But IMO that would be a big no-no for a group like MIH. I expect them to file on time by the end of this month.

Discussions formally opened with 'certain interested parties'
boss replied to OnlyOneAmoruso's topic in Rangers Chat
The boss only speaks the truth. Interested scepticism is the name of this particular game. -
You'd have thought you would have credited the author when you copied and pasted into FF. Last time I give this site the benefit of my research. :box:
-
Yes, we do. My post was aimed at the Scotsman's article which isn't giving the full story and so is perhaps misleading.
-
Close, but a bit more to add. If the winners of the CL in 2010/11 automatically qualify for the group stages, Scotland will still have their 2 places for 2011/12. Also, looking forward to the country rankings for 2011, Switzerland's good year falls out which puts Scotland back up a place in the rankings so we have our 2 CL places again. (We also leap above Belgium in the 2011 provisional rankings but we can't rely on that being the final position.) So in all probability Scotland will retain our 2 CL places ... but only by the skin of our teeth.
