    Kenny McDowall, he'll do anything for a years salary, upstairs suit on, welcome, greet, serve drinks and lunch (as they've got rid of all those members of staff as well), clean the executive bogs, change into tracksuit, go downstairs, this time create shit through team choice, this is part of the reason he looks consistently miserable. The Newcastle loan squad must think this is how all Scottish people look, because the management team and players all look like that, at the moment, the fans are much the same, because of what is served up on the pitch.

    that's not true we had 40k for a couple of seasons at div 2 and 1 and it was shit on the park and I am sure if we get the correct Board then fans will recognise things are not going to change overnight, but sure they will come back, knowing we're in safe hands, after such a long, painful time being run by various, selfish mobsters.

    wonder what is left for Ashley to take as security for the further loan we'd need from him to pay off the fines from the Scottish footballing authorities for the signing of banned songs?

    what happened to the Cock Tavern at Smithfields? used to be a great place to watch Rangers games with hundreds of other Bears, in a great atmosphere, with excellent bar staff, no hanging about for a pint, Scotch pie and beans. could get a little hot though, with a lack of ventilation with it being directly under the market.

    it did display the limitation of Ally's footballing, management aptitude that he changed nothing when he took over from Walter. You could say that he followed what he thought was a successful footprint, but it also emphasised what was spoken about in this thread earlier, that it is important for an ex-footballer to go through a management apprenticeship at a number of clubs as they work their way up the ladder. love him or hate him, that is exactly what SAF did, no doubt meeting a number of influencers on his way who had a variety of formational and strategy viewpoints. that all goes into the mix and out of that comes your own philosophy. if we look at Greig and McCoist, possibly two of our worst ever managers, but arguably greatest home grown players, they never stepped outside Ibrox for any management experience.

    long ball is not a football philosophy that creates a long term footballing legacy, it isn't something you can engender at a youth level, through all age groups, because you cannot forecast what size and shape those kids will eventually grow up to be. Teams like Wimbledon needed to buy players in for a long ball strategy, as did septic. However you can create a pass and move philosophy on any shape of kid at a very young age. that is the Barca way, that is now the Munich way (unsurprisingly), it is the retention of possession (if they don't have the ball they can't score), it is the probing all over the pitch, until you find the hole and exploit it. it is the high pressing (first line of defence being attack as soon as you lose that possession). it is the same as anything in life; if you start that instruction from a young age then it becomes the default, it is your philosophy, it is the only way you know how to play football, it becomes pervasive throughout the club, suddenly a player from the u13's can fit into any other team, the guy in the u17's can play in the first team, the injured first team player makes his comeback in the u18's and he slots in and on it goes. McCoist had that chance, he could have been a historic manager, but he and his cohorts did not recognise the opportunity, part of the reason we're in the footballing state we now find ourselves in. it will now take a lot longer to make that change, if any manager is brave enough to endorse and effect it.

    only if you believe it yourself, if you're of solid mind then you'll never believe it.

    sorry I should have said 'have suffered a similar fate'
  9. MikeN63
    there is no difference, we as a club still have employees who will suffer a similar fate and I'm not talking about any of the senior players.
  10. MikeN63
    all national newspapers are run as profit and loss vehicles so no surprise they would take money from a bunch of retards. why wouldn't you? it is an inadvertent advert supporting the future trajectory of our Club, emphasising the shoulder chip, constantly carried by a large minority of septic fans, that we will always be the greatest club in Glasgow/Scotland, whatever financial/footballing divisional state is imposed on us. we will come back, if not this year, next year, possibly the year after, but they still fear us, whenever that date transpires.
  11. MikeN63
    there have been a number of black days over the last few years but this is up there amongst the worst of them. I'm no legal or corporate ownership expert but when something isn't in the best interest of a public company surely it is illegal? This absolutely stinks of self-interest. I've not done much to protest against all the previous crepe, so I get the point made by SBS but this hurts a lot.
  12. MikeN63
    I agree we need to be much more sensible with the cash and maybe someone like Magath with the youth academy could give us a viable source of player promotion to the 1st team squad, where we've not really had that for as long as MP has been in existence, therefore huge saving on wage and transfer bills, but what we're being offered by the 3 Bears and King will not sustain us from where we are now to where we want to go. It is the start and incredibly thankful for their rescue bid.

    I totally understand that if you're a millionaire then you shouldn't invest in a football club, even if you love them, because you will probably end up only comfortable in your life, not extremely wealthy. It is only as a genuine billionaire that you can afford to heavily invest in a Club and then you're only going to do that, either, as an investment or because you genuinely love a Club. We wish the latter, understandably, but we don't have any takers (King is not a UK billionaire, but we're thankful for his willingness to invest) of the latter variety. We unfortunately have one of the former, who sees us a potential cash cow. Therefore we need to look at other avenues, including Sarver, let's not write him off until we have explored other options and given him a little more scrutiny. If not him we need to find someone else or somehow coerce McColl to step forward, who is our nearest thing to a fan with major money.
  14. MikeN63
    so we all need to expect less, but I don't ever see that happening.
  15. MikeN63
    as things progress that is what we will all expect, it is human nature, we get to SPL, we end up mid-table season one, lower possibly, we expect more the next season, then we end up in Europa, we want to become competitive in that, we win league, we get to qualifiers of CL,.... our demands increase, you know what we're like as fans we constantly expect more, the 3 Bears and KIng, as thankful as we are for their club investment and willingness it is not enough cash.
  16. MikeN63
    but surely if any of us as constituents asked our local MP to raise a parliamentary question, particularly if we know of a local Rangers supporting MP, then it would need to be debated and potentially, through that question, investigated? isn't that the way democracy works? By the way talking of democracy-' Je suis Charlie'
  17. MikeN63
    not enough money amongst fans, (3 Bears, King) possibly with full commitment from McColl but we know he's not willing or ready for that, therefore we need Sarver or someone of that ilk, whatever bluster we write on this site. sorry should back that up; Hearts will be happy with Premiership football, occasional Euro football, we will want CL footie, on a regular basis, we may even expect to win a few games and before you know it we'll be asking to get to the last 16, that will demand serious money, not just fan ownership, we'll need some large US/Middle East/ Far East/non-Scottish money.

    it is the same as any board of any company; if they're not acting in the best interests of the company or are seen to be acting negligently, not in the best medium or long term interests of the shareholders then they can be brought to justice. so taking continuous loans from Ashley, to the future detriment of the Club and shareholders, when there are better offers on the table, then that is a justifiable call for other shareholders to shout foul and alert authorities, be they legal or football related. it is fraud, effectively.
  19. MikeN63
    his father was Kenyan, a well known hot bed of radicalism and distance runners!
  20. MikeN63
    none of us can guarantee whether Mr Sarver is a legitimate entity or not, but the phrase 'you get what you deserve' springs to mind as we condemn the man as being many, many things with very little evidence or background knowledge of the guy. some of the comments are ludicrous and show that we're trusting of no one, unless his birth certificate and passport state he is a Rangers fan. do we really want to be saved or have we gone so close to drowning that we've lost consciousness and are incapable of properly evaluating some form of life saving? the Three Bears and King need help and there is no conclusive evidence that this guy does not have the interests of the Club at heart. The last time I looked at newspapers Davie Robertson was an ex-Rangers player who was working in or around Phoenix with a football team.
  21. MikeN63
    and Davie Robertson is an anagram of Mike Ashley is my Dad! We have got to the point, understandably, of being paranoid of anyone without a direct Rangers connection, but I'd rather have this guy working with the 3 x Bears and King, than Ashley.
  22. MikeN63
    my knowledge of the running of SE institutions is limited, but with a sudden flush of new investors and potential purchasers of the club surely those options need to be exhaustively explored before anyone can call administration? wouldn't the board be seen as acting negligently and unfit to properly conduct their duties in the best interests of the business (ie Rangers)?
  23. MikeN63
    the Rangers fans were incited by two septic fans kicking an inflatable ball into the net at the Rangers end and then the bottles started, Rangers fans went on to the pitch to escape the deluge of bottles coming from the rear of the Rangers end and a few decided to chase the two septic fans back to their own end, which just started surge and counter surge, with the eventual arrival of the Strathclyde cavalry to add to the mayhem. as myself and friends left I jokingly stated that it will be on the UK news headlines and sure enough when I arrived home, it was.
  24. MikeN63
    that is the very reason alcohol was banned from grounds in Scotland in the first place, as well as searches taking place during entrance, all down to that game and the aftermath.
  25. MikeN63
    maybe we shouldn't be looking for new problems before we've got rid of all our existing ones?
