Breathe. Keep breathing. Steady, deep, regular breathing. Try to relax. Don't read any more posts about Ellis, who clearly doesn't actually exist. Stay indoors, practice haiku.

How's your neck now? Have you wound it in again yet?

The fish were much more compliant than you lot. But the weather was awful so baled out to watch the opening game. Wish the footy would start and Blatter would stop his arse-licking Mandelafest. Zuma looks like a drug baron. Mon Mexico.

Taking a much-need day off today. Gear in the car, flask filled and heading for a day's fishing at the loch. In the event it turns out that's where Ellis has actually been hiding, I'll be sure to press him for N_L's mobile number. deep clear water fly lands, floats, is that Ellis Northampton's phone please aaaahhhhhh........ see ya............

I can see how people can be positive or negative about a deal being done to remove or diminish Murray's role and I can see being positive or negative about the done-deal mongers. But I can see no justification for being positive or negative about Eills himself. We know almost nothing about the man and we certainly know nothing about his intentions for the club or how he will fund and run it. I can see reason for caution in this respect but unfortunately nothing else seems possible so far.

Effectively .... that definitely looks like an insurance policy so we can probably take that as meaning they haven't a scooby. And two different sources just looks like uncertainty. Anyway, 60 pages is bunch to wade through but, apart from attention seeking, I can't remember much being said to support a done deal that was anywhere on the realistic side of factual. Maybe I missed it. I was just trying to see whether anything real had recently developed amongst the chaffe. I did notice a small group of migrant visitors who reappeared on the tailwind of the SE announcement to make a flurry of posts before flying off again when closer inspection showed they might have misjudged their landing. Amusing as hell.

I needed to remind myself where this all stemmed from. It's been a very busy week with little opportunity to do anything other than occasionally dip in and out - I'm assuming now there is a general agreement that these "done deal" reports were simple invention by some original source and that no deal has been done at all. And that the stock market announcement was a response to speculation rather than a reason for it? It is accepted that we are in fact in exactly the same place as we were before this thread started and that the done deal perpetrators were not after all bearers of real information?

Surreal eh? For the sake of spiritual uplift these megathreads need to be interspersed with something more to encourage discipline and reflection. I suggest haiku should be adopted to differentiate Gersnet from the ordinary rabble. I'll start. long days slow and tense Ibrox shadow spreads out long Ellis fades like smoke

I'd just like to interrupt the flow of this thread once more to commiserate with OnlyOneAmoruso on his recent pummelling at the hands of his new peers in that "other place". :D:D What a difference a day makes

Oil - Water Hot - Cold Black - White Chalk - Cheese Did - Didn't Pages and pages of mind-numbing nothing. Why now? Is something going to happen, are we getting excited?

Sorry but you have the free choice not to look at this thread. FFS, why are people continually so anxious to decide what other people should read or write?

Oh he's a natural target, don't you think. It's just important to make the rumours realistic enough to be believable.:box:

I'd just like to interrupt the flow here to offer my congratulations to OnlyOneAmoruso on his recent elevation.

I agree, besides which, I'm not sure we'll be signing too many who'll be tied up in SA over the next month. This might be exactly the time to do business while other eyes are turned elsewhere.

Before it even thinks about approaching any new owner I'd respectfully suggest the RST has more urgent business elsewhere ... engaging with the Rangers support in a way it has singularly failed to do to date. But it's probably more likely that SDM will gift his shares to me by the morning.

I mean it's irrelevant whether the RST decides to engage a new owner or not. It will have no effect either way. Simples really.

Would it make the slightest difference either way?

In equal seriousness, from where we stand and with the lack of information available, how could anyone not have significant doubts that this will happen.

I don't know, there was some guy on here a while back saying he was going to improve the RST. Besides, I feel strangely uplifted every time pixies are mentioned.

Agree totally. I still can't understand letting him go. Bloody annoyed about that.

Why did Walter agreed to another year of this and why did McCoist follow suit. Are they being rewarded for continued loyalty to Murray or do they actually think someone else is about to own the club? I can only assume it's the former.

...and a severe across the bridge of the nose with a stout length of four-by-two would absolutely serve the bastard right.

It hard to take, that the last year and all the heart seaching along the way has been silently orchestrated by our current owner. All the speculation about this buyer or that buyer and where the club might be heading. All the shite about Lloyds Bank, Absentee AJ, the Silly RST, Muir the Destroyer, Dave King, Andrew Ellis at NARSA and all the rest of it.... just a facade, concocted by Sir Bastard. While I always suspected it, I'm now increasingly sure of it. It's Murray who lies in wait for Rangers. Waiting to tell us how no one was good enough to own Rangers after all and wasn't it his duty to protect the club. I really could wish Murray a great deal of ill. I hope I'm really very wrong about this but I can't see any alternative. Did we really, seriously, genuinely think Andrew Ellis with effectively two beans to rub together could put a deal together to buy Rangers? Did anyone actually believe we had fans communicating directly with Andrew Ellis? The only communication I could vaguely imagine (and I stress imagine) would be between Murray and a certain website owner, whose website seems to have been the originating point for an awful lot of absolute bunkum, some of which almost smacks of propaganda. Or am I going too fast here?

Manuscript .... strange choice of word. Anyhoo, there still seems to be quite a lot of fretful canundering about what might or might not be going on in the Las Vegas shadows. Surely the 10 days, 48 hours, some Monday in Julember, or whatever has come and gone now. Surely anything that now happens is outwith the predictions/information previously offered by those bone tossers on the fringes of the inner temple. Surely no amount of qualification can drag events back into the magic sphere of attribution. Surely it was all just posturing by the holiest of Wullies after all. From being slightly tempted, I've somehow managed to recover composure and return to doubt... Ellis is a front for at least two others ... aye and one of them is probably Murray.

Not sure how you know that but it was probably the best place for him. The idea he was going to turn up at the narsa event was a bit fanciful to say the least. I doubt Murray would want him off talking to AJ without a hand up his arse pulling the strings.
