    In the Rangers soap opera we how have horticulture repeatedly featuring Are there any gardens in Berlin where holes can be dug deeper and deeper............ .............

    They really treat the support with absolute contempt and treat us as idiots.

    Deleted post in other thread and put up this thread because the blaming of 'legacy issues' isn't wholly satisfactory or indeed rational when you study matters. I didn't see Somers keen to look at this angle when blaming Legacy Issues. Ashely Retail Operation/ Commercial deals Was declared 'not normal' by the board and modified so it was 'more normalised'. Be careful though, that could have been 80% Not Normal and it is now 70% not normal. We know how this lot operate. So Mr Somers we have your 'main man' Ashely as a man who is into creating 'legacy issues' with Mr.Legacy 'Green' Issue himself. ------------------------------------------- Llambias / Keith Bishop Associates / Green & Stockbridge. 1. Stockbridge oks mysterious payment to KBA (Dec 2012) at a time when Llambias is involved with KB (see other thread on Llambias for more details) 2. Llambias 'selling the idea' of stadium renaming rights to the support with Green in early 2013 (when they'd have already known the Quantum of the deal was a Quid). ------------------------------------------------ Easdale Proxy Block........The Home of some of the Onerous (legacy issues) ??

    Llambias is a longterm extension of Ashely and his business. That invoice stinks,.......... whether there be proof or not. Look at MO Look at who is involved Todays buzzword "Legacy issues" "Where has all the Money Gone" Green&Co has track record of creating Legacy Issues with Ashely&Co

    Could be a first in medical science, as it seems as though only spindoctors or the gulible can see the symptoms.

    Well if you think about the month the invoice was dated, around 22M came into the club from the IPO of shares. That seemed to go very quickly and without much to show for it, so you'd imagine a pile of invoices may be similar or 'beefed up'. The financial advice for the IPO for a start.

    Another year,.... another AGM,.... another NOMAD,.... more New Directors,..... more Pay-Offs,.... more court cases,.... more business reviews,.... another Corporate Soap Opera.......... and another CEO. When was Derek Llambias first link, involvement or similar with Rangers ? Was it when he entertained Brian Stockbridge at the Five star Mar Hall last month ?....Obviously not, but Stockbridge features again a little later. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footba...idge-1-3605063 Was it when he came up to Ibrox in early 2013, to help Charles Green sell the idea of renaming the stadium to the Rangers fans at Ibrox ?..... (He didn't mention that his boss had already agreed a deal for a one pound coin)..... maybe it was, maybe it was prior to that when Ashely was first dealing with Charles Green in his initial consortium ? There is one curious event that took place back in the end of 2012 that some of you may already know about. The CRO did some excellent work on it. A little background The Mike Ashely spin doctor is named Keith Bishop and his firm is called Keith Bishop Associates (KBA). On their webpage, they name Rangers as a client. http://www.kbapr.com/our-clients/sports/ Derek Llambias was a director of Keith Bishop Public Relations Limited, apparently from early 2012 until not long before he became a non-executive director at RIFC on the 3rd of November this year. On the regulatory notice it listed KBPR as a "past directorship and other positions" http://rangers.g3dhosting.com/regula...ws_article/411 Adam Llambias, son of CEO Derek , also works or worked for Keith Bishop Associates. Many Newcastle United fans believe Bishop got the Newcastle work through Llambias. In PR ranking, he's not top tier and they wonder why Ashely sticks with him and that Bishop makes a hash of the Newcastle PR. Now we come to the curious........An invoice dated 13/12/12 was sent to Rangers by Keith Bishop Associates for the first quarter of 2013. They were told by then Finance Director, Brian Stockbridge, that invoices from KBA had to be paid despite no explanation being provided about what work KBA had done for Rangers. At this point I'll C&P the excellent and informative CRO article . Stockbridge, Green, Ashely and Llambias seem to have been 'partners' in a fair few things along the way and so far I'm not seeing anything beneficial to Rangers.

    We should have known that they'd time it this way. AGM,............. what AGM ? The news for the fans will be McCoist, McCoist and Post McCoist. Online, the messageboard servers will struggle to cope. What was stopping them do this last week ?
  9. buster.
    In the few days prior to an AGM at Ibrox, it would probably be sound council to ignore newspaper articles that seek to talk people up or speculate strongly on what may happen but without real evidence.
  10. buster.
    I've edited out the part you think OofO, if you want to, you can do the same in the quote. If you fail to realise or acknowledge that the MO of Ashely could be different to CW/CG but still have the capacity to be damaging to the longterm interests of the football club, it betrays a limited grasp on matters. This would fit with your track record.
  11. buster.
    So after all your previous experiences of judging past regimes, which will have included a belief or hope that Rangeritis had kicked in. You are once again basing your opinion/views on another regime, by mostly ignoring previous MO and hoping that it'll be different this time and Rangeritis will kick-in. Can't you realise how 'Alice in Wonderland' that is ? Have a look at my 'signature' below.............

    Monday AGM

    buster. replied to BEARGER's topic in Rangers Chat

    I think one of the criteria Ashely will look for in a manager is a degree of relative subservience. I'm not sure and in fact, probably doubt that Davis would provide that. That said, he may be prepared to appoint a slightly more populist figure at this stage, but on a short contract.

    Monday AGM

    buster. replied to BEARGER's topic in Rangers Chat

    It wouldn't be a wise move to put Dennis in charge and I doubt very much it will happen. However if DW is mentioned enough, it will help the acceptance (via relief) of whoever is appointed. This is an appointment that Ashely will consider extremely important in several ways and will help illustrate intentions.
  14. buster.
    It's been a downward spiral that can't go on forever. However, Ashely will look to reach a level whereby he keeps enough fans onside to give him a worthwhile return and thereafter maintain operations at a similar level. He will use a lot of spin, depend on blind loyalty and hope for the odd bit of success. Problem Rangers continually competing for second place is a very difficult sell, even for Ashely and spindoctors.
  15. buster.
    The term 'expectation management' will feature more prominently, alongside and interlinked with some of the more traditional methods.
  16. buster.
    I don't think you fully apprecaite the state of play within our support after so much dishonest turmoil. Yes, there will always be a base of unconditional followers but with every passing month, it is getting smaller.
  17. buster.
    The only way the message will get through for many will be when they see the fall-out in front of them and even then some will go along with the excuses to protect their own emotional stake in Ashely. One of the tricks is to make X synonymous with the club. eg. an attack on Ashely is an attack on the club and it's prospects. The sad fact of the matter is that collectively, we aren't up to it and it has been shooty-in for the sp.ivs and shark.
  18. buster.
    Many are the same, it's the 'Cabal Blame Game', where they have to find someone other than the executive board to blame for the state of the club. It's the SFA, SPFL, the meeja, Fullerton, LBG, HMRC, Desmond, King, UoF, SoS.................etc, etc. You'll note that the other side of this game for the serial players is to back every money grabbing sp.iv that passes through Ibox. It can be down to 'mind-control' (within groupthink), downright stupidity, something darker or a combination.
  19. buster.
    The theory that points to his interest in Rangers being because of SD expansion into Europe doesn't stand-up.
  20. buster.
    I would think that the board would welcome a defeat today for several reasons.
  21. buster.
    Excellent article Andy Steel ! It's very much part of a societal trend that has been accepted by the politicans in power at Westminster over the past couple of decades. I'd welcome a press conference on Monday morning that outlined plans for a new Rangers. What we currently have is a club that has reached a state of toxicity that together with forseeable future of conversion into a soulless Sports Direct Corporate Vehicle is not the Rangers I know, it's an illusion that serves to extract money from your pocket.
  22. buster.
    Will c&p a post I made just there on FF which touches on some of what you say. As you mention, I don't see it working at Ibrox for MA in the medium to longterm without him changing his spots. There is a deeply cynical malaise already set in within the support that for many is already edging closer to the cliffedge of no return.
  23. buster.
    SteveC says that "madness rules this shitty world" I'd say that generally............. ignorance is exploited by the types you refer to and at many different levels. I'd also say that we live in an increasingly "shitty world" because of it. Truth, responsibility and accountability have been relegated to a lower tier and calculated bullshit controls up on high and is having a trickle down effect.
  24. buster.
    I think you'll find that Ashely extracts much more value than that under the banner of 'missing' connercial revenue.
  25. buster.
    That is the only quote I can find where Ashely addresses his involvment with Rangers. However those few words say everthing say so much.
