    They say hindsight is 20-20. But, at the time, the media was as bad as the rest of them glorying in the general blood lust. Now the chickens are coming home to roost ... tough shit.

    Yep .... Ally has to go. Just imagine the shame of it. We drew at home in the league. Never mind that we have won every other league match. One draw and enough is enough.

    BH's 'expert knowledge' notwithstanding, what we have seen at Rangers over the past 12-24 months is a prime example of Agency Theory whereby management pursues their own interests at the expense of shareholder value.

    Poor old Ally. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. You cannot blame a manager for wanting the best team possible on the park and especially when you know the sharks will be after his blood at the first slip up. And what, exactly, has Ally done wrong this season with the exception of the loss to Forfar? The support expects the team on the park to be winning. And Ally is delivering just that so far this season. And look at the chaotic conditions he has been working in. Boardroom strife, fan protests and a revolving door of directors, Nomads and CEOs. When it comes to costs, there are a couple of different issues here. It is up to the manager and his team to determine what players they need to win the competitions they are in. It is up to the CEO to have the conversation about how many players we can afford and what the wages should be. It my well be that we have brought in players we don't really need. But it may also be that we are paying the players we do need and do want too much money and we could have got them for less. Clearly there needs to be change to both our cost structure and revenue generation. But to blame Ally for the failure to control costs is grossly unfair.

    The board says that they believe the fans trust them. If that is the case, why do they continue to attack us?

    My own estimate is that they will need more funds in 2014 and will probably go to the capital markets in the summer. But will there be the trust in management to invest? I, for one, will be very loathe to put yet more money in unless there are some real changes.

    Being able to afford something is one thing. Being willing to buy it is quite another.

    Paul Murray is a busted flush. He has tried three times and failed three times. He lacks the street smarts, the ruthlessness and the killer instincts to take on the guys running the club.

    Perhaps you can be more specific. I know a few people in PwC including a couple of partners.

    Tell us something we don't know.

    Glad English has been reading my posts. Stockbridge is, indeed, 'damaged goods' as I described him a few days ago. But English sets it all out extremely well and from the perspective of all three sides; the Board, the Requistioners and the Support. The time is coming when the Support will need to flex its muscles. But are we capable of doing so? Do the supporter's organisations have the skills and credibility to coordinate effective action? Or will we continue to be bystanders cheering on this protagonist or that protagonist from the sidelines? English rightly points out that the support will have a tremendous opportunity this summer. But the remarkable passivity of our organisations suggests that we will let this opportunity, like so many others, slip past us.

    What happened? The requisitioners sat back and let the Board of the hook. They were complacent and failed to realise that they needed to go hard for as many shares as they could.

    I have always been a firm believer in supporter ownership. But there is a sad reality which has become apparent over the past couple of years. First, the support clearly has neither the ability nor the appetite to make the financial effort to own the club. Second, the supporter's organisations with, perhaps, the exception of SoS, have been remarkably passive. And third, high profile supporters such as Paul Murray have either been inept or have lacked the killer instinct of the 'spivs'. So, as usual, we are left looking/hoping for a saviour to coming riding in on his white charger. Many, I should imagine, hope that this person is Dave King. In the meantime, I should imagine, the nastiness, infighting and bickering amongst supporters will continue. A rather futile exercise akin to pissing into the wind. For my part, I will keep doing the lottery in the hope that, one day, I can buy that white charger.

    So the rumours about you and shackles were not true then
  15. bossy
    The BBC are implying that they have seen the numbers. They have not suggested that they have canvassed anyone. The BBC may just have dropped the current Board in the smelly brown stuff.

    To be honest, I have lost interest in - and respect for- what you can or cannot do.
  17. bossy
    Indeed. After all, an opportunity to stick the boot into the RST is not to be missed.
  18. bossy
    Be honest. You have no real idea of what is going on but just cannot resist an opportunity to stick the boot in. Next you will, no doubt, pen an article bemoaning the infighting amongst the Rangers support.

    Your comment made me do a bit of googling and the result is not as clear cut as you might think. Obviously it depends on jurisdiction, but there is legal precedent to suggests that ownership of an email is very unclear. Now, suppose you send your email to a bunch of people and a couple of them are in different legal jurisdictions. Which rules apply? The jurisdiction from whence the email is sent or the jurisdiction where it is received? And don't forget, that for legal purposes, emails can be 'discovered'. All in all, I find it best to assume that once it leaves my computer it is effectively public. safety first.
  22. bossy
    Forget the legal side of it. Once you have sent an email you have no idea where it will show up or who will read it. So, effectively, it is "out there". The same can be true of snail mail but email is much easier and faster to copy and send on. For that reason, I am very very careful about what I post online or send out in emails.
  23. bossy
    Breach of copyright is generally a civil and not a criminal matter. If you have received an email legally then there is unlikely to be any criminal consequence. But, the point is, in terms of confidentiality, once an email is out there, it is effectively public knowledge.
  24. bossy
    I have always worked on the principal that once an email has been sent then it is in the public domain. There is a big difference in forwarding on an email you have received and hacking into somebody's computer files.
  25. bossy
    I see. So we are not sure if it is to do with email accounts or the poll? And do we know if this internal RST investigation is to do with this?
