The fat slug that is Maguire was , along with the discredited journalist , basking in our turmoil on the radio tonight and they almost couldn't help themselves when talking about , Boyd who the say " has played this to perfection " ie he has manufactured the fact we are skint , I really cannot stand bitter martin , in fact I dont even know why I listen , need to retune my radio

His teams were the only one's I have ever went to Ibrox with real expectations
-
No worries mate I stand corrected , even with flo and Gazza going later my figures are no wher near that , I doff my cap

Bain is nothing like the shadow puppet that moved in Murray's shadow , time to give him some credit
-
Calscot whilst I agree in principle with your view our net spending under Advocatt was under �£20 million , it was the ridiculous contracts that Murray was handing out , many times against medical opinion I may add , that got us into trouble
-
Totti I totally agree and unfortunately this has always been the case , I can remember back to the NIAR team when we had a truly reat squad but in europe we were continually humiliated by the likes of AEK , Grasshoppers ,Strasbourg , Levski Sofia , Auxerre , christ the list goes on and on , yet if we beat Celtc on the saturday everyhing was brilliant
-
The important position is the owner , but I fully accept your point , after everything that has come out these last few weeks though I cannot bring myself to give Smith grief , if he had walked god only knows where we may have been , and I am not one of his biggest fans

Well thank god that is over , some times you just have to call a spade a spade or in this case a poor side , a ......... poor side , but what could have been . The reality is that investment in players is a necessity irrespective of which team you support , obviously Real Madrid dont really need players as badly as us but to attempt to get result's with this squad is just a pipe dream in my opinion . We have a very good keeper , a 40 year old center half, and another who will probably be sold in January, two back's that have proved they can do a job when playing to a certain style of play , the midfield has been awful , Thomson was rushed back not just for Europe but domestically as well , Davies grafts without too much end result , McCulloch is well McCulloch and Mendes posted missing though that's maybe unfair after he got injured . Up front our only real goalscorer isn't trusted whilst we rely on a guy who can run all day with no end result , we have no wingers therefore no width , therefore no supply to the striker . BUT can we do better , well if we had a striker who can hold the ball up to allow the midfield to join the attack then maybe , if we had a midfield that was mobile enough to allow the defence to move closer and therefore further up the park to squeeze the game , and if that defence had the belief that they had a midfield that wasn't going to get played through at every opposition attack then maybe . But a hell of a lot of chaanges must be made , first thing is to win this league at all costs , the midfield must be addressed , with creativity and width a necessity and a system of play to allow us to actually attack other teams and put them on the back foot , christ it isn't rocket science if you let a team pass and move without getting tackled you are in trouble , no teams like being turned and playing facing their own goal , we have done it in the past and it works. Hopefully things will improve , that's about all I can hope for and I will accept any type of footall right now from now till may if we win this league

The Rangers AGM - The More People Talk, the Less They Say
rbr replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Yes except King told my friend he has never spoken to Duffy nor knew who he was before he contacted him , and my mate is in a position that he would need to know that info before anything goes to print , like I say they took a gamble on a story but now believe they were getting used , by whom they dont know . I will know more next week -

Listen mate I agree with you about the article in general , and definetly think Dffy if a walter mitty character , but I only post what I am told by friends if I believe them , do not believe me if you dont want to Also King is only reporting what Duffy says , it isn't a court of law , and if you read through the rest of it there are plenty of contradictions -

That Duffy was contacted by King -

I know he wrote it , he also quotes Duffy's answers or would you prefer if he started changing his answers , also King is quite enjoying his moment of glory , they do enjoy a little bask do our journalist's or haven't you noticed -
I think that is what is really getting me down , after all this time and debate , newspapers involved etc etc , we would have had some sort of concrete info about our situation but we still only cling onto speculation , even after yesterday nothing worth while came from it , ahhhh god bless red wine

That's total bolloks , I have it from a friend of over 20 years who is very very closely involved with this that it was the other way round , and that the call was recieved at 4pm on the friday , the whole os Saturday's Herald and Evening Times had to be redone to accomodate this and they didn't get to press till nearly 8pm , their normal time is just before 6 pm . if it had been the other way around ie King there would have been no rush . The part about his friend is correct as I stated above . -
fan ownership is all well and good as long as it is backed by a steady source of revenue , whether that is from TV , sponsorship or retail , unfortunately we have none of the later , again if I had been asked a few months ago I would and indeed have advocated fans owning the club but after reading and listening to more knowledgabe posters I can see this is a non starter , however there will be people still running with this for their own agenda , i a actually a bit depressed after yesterday as this process is going to take many many twists and turns

He was pushed into action because the NOTW were about to do a story on him , one of his " friends " had leaked the story , that's why he contacted Daryl King , also the papers involved now are of the opinion that they were in fact used , and aren't best pleased , but that's the gamble I suppose -
The other kind and these are the worst are the " spanner " types who come on just for the wind up , I think we may have another of his wee friends about just now as well. The thing about them is they infest good debating threads and try and unrail them , however they are always easy to get though it usually takes a wee bit of time

I dont particularily trust polished orators , Tony Blair anyone :) It's more about what they say or rather dont say than the way it is put across , seriously you only need look back at Murray , he was great at AGM but shit at delivering on his promises -
Exactly UCB , some of the biggest clubs in Europe are doing it but we are sticking our nose's up at a time when our management team and some of our ( and I say this reservedly) star players are either going out of contract or have no contract , it was pretty pityful from my point of view and I expected better from AJ
-
To be honest I still cannot believe we still get guys asking about the bloody albion car park and murray park , where do these people come from , I am not trying to come across all smart arsed but for god's sake , also the comment AJ made about Ibrox being not for sale naming wise , very clever and pandered to the crowd for I can never remember in the last few months this ever getting seriously or even stupidly proposed anywhere
-
The guy from computershare did mention quite a few times that proxy votes did count and then McLelland clicked and stated that even if the majority opposed the re-election the proxy vote ie Murray's would carry the day , he seemed to miss the point of opposing the motion and was way out of his depth , to be honest as they had met yesterday it was the one obvious thing they should have expected and planned for
-
If it had been handled better then the shambles that followed would have been avoided , I have no truck with John McLelland but his handling and the advice he was geting was bordering on farce at times and could have led to really ugly scenes as tempers were getting very frayed
-
sorry mate but I had many debates on FF with rst board members on this very question when it all transpired 18 months ago , this committee had the power to oversee and take disciplinary action as it saw fit , that was never denied , in fact it was acknowledged that it's primary role was to make sure the board members at the time did nothing that certain members didn't know about
-
cheers Frankie just let me know when and where
-
Frankie what they are doing is what all amangement now do , when asked questions they cannot answer they turn the tables and answer back with a question back making you out to be negative or any other decription you choose to make as long as it is anti them , my company actually send management on courses on how to do this , it's no wonder no one flies from Glasgow anymore oops
