Medical team better add cheese to their stock order. If true that is great news, im happy with that alternative, and if he wants to throw a few pointers KMD's way, all the better!

They definitely mentioned the importance of a scouting network being established during interviews yesterday so I would think that would be high on the list of priorities with a manager coming in. Renovations I have no idea. Manager, got the impression yesterday we wouldnt be seeing a change until the end of the season. Budgets, I would expect that to take a bit of time. With them having to pour through the books at the financial mess the club is in, players contracts expiring at the end of the season and having to judge a budget on what league we will be in next season, its not an easy thing to talk about. One thing I will say is that, bar the manager thing, I couldnt be happier with everything that the three of them said yesterday, and think we will get alot of honest answers out of them with regards to all the questions fans have about taking the club forward in the near future.

Me. He was part of the old regime, and therefore, must continue to be watched like a hawk.

Movement in terms of us getting back to winning ways in the SPFL? I dont think 3-5 years is unrealistic if we get the right Manager and coaching staff in. tic are not that great a team these days, the rest of the pack chasing them closely shows that. Movement in terms of ridding the club of MA & co's ripping out our soul, couldnt possibly guess.

Why did he abstain from voting at the EGM if he is now backing King? Just incase he didnt win? It'll take some doing for the fans to trust either Easdale now that the tides have turned, to receive appreciation from the fans, they have done themselves and us no favours in the good of Rangers.

Anyone care to hazard a gues as to what his next move will be now that control has shifted hands?

The RFB did some fantastic work in the face of adversity when the former (oh man thats the first time ive said that word, feels good!) board were throwing them curve balls. With King confirming fan representation will be on the Rangers Board, will the RFB still be there as a sub group to this?

Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho...anything less will not do! There was a ridiculous amount of people on the bookies list a few weeks ago. Im not sure how he did at Forest with regards to youth development and whatnot, but i'd throw Billy Davies name quite high up the list.

I was reading about this the other day, i think. Is it the money that goes to Youth Development? What was happening with it?.... need i bloody ask.

Seems like someone who goes against the majority, probably gets him alot of hits on his blog.

...as a substitute instead of having Black as an option....

They've made alot more noise in Rangers favour more recently, I would say four years is pushing it. Is it still expected that Traynor's PR firm is going to be part of Rangers as it was for DK's build up to the EGM? I hope so. What im also looking forward to in that having Rangers men at Ibrox, is that they will more likely than we have had for a long time, fight against articles which are misleading and damaging to our club. Lots of other things to do on the list of priorities first, but thats something im fairly sure will be addressed.

Reading aint mine.

I should probably have read the rest of the table laid out before asking lol. Thanks.

I just noticed the LSE announcement in the first post. Interesting that Gilligan got the highest amount of votes and lowest amount against, the online community seemed to put him in a lower position. Also, how did DK 'beat' PM percentage wise when his votes for were lower? Non of the above really matters... just interesting, to me at least haha.

I would like to think that, now that he knows the money will certainly be in better hands, he'll not take it.

Were you behind the Llambias/Leach taxi's?

Im unfamiliar with this group, are they Ashley supporters or just anti King? Their sentence on the landslide exaggeration is laughable. Its a landslide because the shareholders who voted made it so, it may have been less if the other 1/3 showed up but I dont think by much. The upsurge in support of King recently has been huge, of course he will come under scrutiny, but today, all three of them are making the right noises and do not seem phased by the long haul task in front of them, quite the opposite.

The horns are brilliant. Paul was giving off a little smirk when the first one went off.

As far as I remember, his management pre-Fulham was fairly highly regarded, although a fair point that his time at Fulham wasn't great. He doesnt have to be likeable, does he? Lots of managers arent.

I am just loving there professionalism and confidence when answering questions. Also, nice to see the trophy room hasnt been ransacked!

Im not sure of his background in investing in clubs, but I dont see why he would have invested in backing King if he wasnt going to play some part in the rebuild.

Your post about taking a half day earlier in the thread made me laugh. I was bursting to get away from work too! Not to Ibrox unfortunately, but good work tracking them down.

I dont see us going up if we dont get a new manager in right away. KMD isnt likely to change anything tactics/team selection wise, so the only hope we have is the increased fan noise at Ibrox to spur the team on. That SHOULD be enough, if the players on the pitch care, but if they're playing the same way, no new direction from the sidelines, its going to be a struggle. A manager between now and summer, then a long term manager in during the summer with a carefully thought out player transfers list and fresh ideas. Anyway, only happy thoughts today. Its been a good day.

Paul Murray said its going to 'take some time to get it right in appointing a manager'. Does that mean they're sticking with McDowell for the rest of the season? Im just reading bits and pieces of transcript, missed the live feed.
