I hope it is not more hearsay and maybe this, that and the next thing

Really couldn't care less if Celtic win the league this week. I wrote this year off a long time ago, it means hee haw. They have no class whatsoever Lennon proved that yesterday over the whole "penalty" affair.

Would love to see Souness back in some form. Don't know if it would be fair to replace Ally at this stage though.
If it were to come to pass though I'd love it. It would be a return to the Rangers of old the likes of McGregor would be told to GTF as soon as he appeared on the front page of a tabloid for feckn about on nights out. It is something Rangers should return to doing hopefully the days of stupid interviews to the press would disappear to.

I fear for some Celtic fans if Duff and Phelps have got their analysis right. We're talking spontaneus combustion on a frightening scale
defo this one

I've seen it mentioned on a few sites. But I think it was Darrell King who started the rumour. There a links to a radio program on you tube with him discussing it.
Personally I don't think Murray would've been that stupid to give players 2 contracts. He would've really been leaving himself open to all sorts possibly even jail.

I really don't understand the criticism aimed at McCoist just now. He must have been working under incredible circumstances in the last year and to his credit has carried himself and Rangers in a thoroughly professional manner which is alot more than can be said about Craig Whyte. I think we need to stick with McCoist until we are on a steading footing again and give him a chance with a clear deck if it didn't work out then think about replacements etc... But certainly not now

I personally think PLG should have been a lot more time in charge at Rangers. I think it was a real oppurtunity for Rangers to "clean house" and for the seeds for the future to be sewn. He was giving youth a chance and I think we would have ended up with a really good team. Even if it had taken a couple of trophyless seasons then so be it.
I think bringing Walter back while it stabilised us and he got us to the UEFA Cup final and he was most definetly a fantastic servant to the club tbh I think it set us back years it was all quick fixes again with no patience for youngsters to learn properly. I really think Rangers AND Celtic have lost the ability to make players better. Both used to sign players and make them better or bring good youngsters through the ranks and make them better where has that gone?
As far as Ally goes, I never really wanted him to be manager but I think he is doing a good job in difficult circumstances and I think at this most difficult of times the Rangers manager needs the fans support more than ever.

I don't trust this. I think this would be what we already had under the previous board.

TICKETUS have emerged as shock backers of Paul Murrayâ??s Blue Knights consortium who are trying to buy Rangers.
The news will stun fans after chairman Craig Whyte admitted selling future Ibrox season tickets to the London-based company and using the cash to buy the club last May.
Administrators Duff and Phelps are determined to clinch a deal for the club soon and insist there are a number of parties interested in a purchase.
Murray and his Blue Knights are among those high in the running but news that Ticketus are also part of the group will amaze the Rangers support.
Whyte stated that Ticketus paid £20million in return for ticket revenues for the next three seasons in a confession which enraged a fanbase who had been previously been unaware of the dealing.
However, with the club falling into administration last month, Duff and Phelps are seeking buyers for the stricken club and Murrayâ??s Blue Knights are understood to include Ticketus.

Working our way up from the lower leagues in England would take a number of years with no guarantee of success.
No thanks for this bear.
Agree with this. But I definitely think it would be possible: AFC Wimbledon have had 5 promotions in 9 years starting at the very bottom in England and are now in League 2. I think even a newco Rangers would have much more resources available than Wimbledon.
I don't personally want this but if we are liquidated and or are going to be so severely punished for "alleged" this that and the next thing that it will set us back years then why not.

I don't think Rangers and Celtic going to England ever seriously got off the ground. I'm sure it was talked about at some level. But I think the main obstacle was that there was an expectation that both Rangers and Celtic would go straight into the Premier League possibly at the expense of other clubs who had earned the right to be there unlike Rangers and Celtic.
But in the event of a newco and Rangers applying to the very bottom of English Football and working up from there I couldn't see any real opposition to that from England

While I understand why some fans would be happy to play in England, I see Rangers as primarily a Scottish team so have always felt we should play here.
I'm all for European and British Cups but in terms of domestic league, I'd rather we stayed in Scotland.
Have to say I agree with you Frankie. I would prefer Rangers stayed in Scotland but only if it was the current Rangers and not some newco. If we were liquidated and had to start afresh from the bottom I would rather it was down south.

From Wiki
Gretna Football Club was founded in 1946 by servicemen returning from the Second World War. The club initially played in the Dumfries and District Junior League.The following year, the club moved to the Carlisle and District League, which is run by the English Football Association. This was despite the club being based in Scotland, although Gretna is very close to the Anglo–Scottish border. They remained in this league for all but one season until 1982, when the club moved to the newly-created Second Division of the Northern League. The club won this league and were promoted immediately, before back-to-back championship wins in the First Division, in 1990–91 and 1991–92, resulted in their promotion to the first division of the Northern Premier League.
During this period, the club featured in the FA Cup, becoming the first club based in Scotland to appear in the competition proper since Queens Park had done so in 1887. They managed to take Rochdale to a replay in 1991 and gave Bolton Wanderers a scare in 1993 before being beaten.[8]
The club saw its future in Scottish football and applied twice to join the Scottish League in 1993 and 1999. To help boost their later application, they played a Rangers XI in a game to raise money for victims of the Lockerbie air disaster. Gretna won 2–1 against a strong team.[citation needed]

Did Gretna not play in England before moving to Scotland? I seem to recall them playing in the FA Cup also.

He suspected that Craig Whyte wasn't a fit and proper person to run Rangers if he suspected this then he should've compelled the football authorities to investigate this properly at the time, not nearly a year after the event. After all he would've only been asking them to do their job (as far as I understand this should have been done by the SFA/SPL and wasn't hence the Nimmo inquiry now) and if they wouldn't then release a statement asking why they wouldn't.

Have to be honest and say to hell with Paul Murray and Dave King both statements today were just grandstanding. I think David Murray's statement shows that to be the case which he basically said "if I'm dirty then so are you Dave".
Paul Murray was a director Rangers and knew the state of Rangers finances but did hee haw about it. Same with Alistair Johnston when asked if administration was a possibility a while ago he could only nod in agreement and he only came out and said how angry he was about Whyte when the sh*t was about to hit the fan I believe he said he didn't agree with it last May but then he buggered off and we never heard anything from him same with Paul Murray he moaned a bit but then only reappeared when it was all going pear shaped. If AJ had all this evidence why wasn't he asking for Police and FSA investigations last May. I really am starting to believe it's all some mad scheme they have all concocted TOGETHER including Whyte to liquidate Rangers and start afresh.
If Rangers are to be saved I want it to be someone new with no connections to the old board the more news stories I read the more it seems they are all rotten to the core. It seems they are all out for themselves and cared for anything but Rangers

A lot of this is the Goldfish bowl mentality of Scottish Football. No one outside of a select few really knows what is happening. Most of the "rumours" and stories floating about are merely trying to sell papers, get more hits on a blog or damage the name of Rangers or in some cases all 3!!

The likes of Perry, Hutton and Ness are ready. Will we get Fleck back? Is the lad Cole good enough?
Fleck was built up by alot of people to be the next big thing I find it really disheartening that he has never ever really been given a chance. I would love to know why? Perhaps somebody on the forum knows...m

Really believe we had this chance when PLG was in charge and giving guys like Adam a chance. If it meant survival then we should be prepared to take the hit. Survival as Rangers est 1873 is more important than winning the league or qualification for europe. I would dearly love to see a return of the days when the business of Rangers FC was conducted in private and not on the back or front page of some tabloid.

Biggest problem with Buffel was various managers played him out of position. I always saw him as someone who would play just behind the forwards. A position where you don't need to be the biggest or strongest. Yet for some reason he was played on the wing or in the midfield.
It was the same with Peter Lovenkrands I saw him as a pacy striker and anytime he played in that position he scored goals upon goals. I recall Rangers playing Inter Milan at Ibrox in 2006 when we qualified from the group stages of the Champons League for the 1st time. Lovenkrands played as the lone striker up front and scored with Buffel just behind him a great performance by Rangers that night all round.

Indeed.... It is getting beyond a joke, with the sack him for that, strip rangers of this. Nobody truly knows what has been going at Ibrox and that is why it needs to be properly investigated instead of all the jumping to conclusions.
