    SB or anyone, is that 2.7M a current number ?

    Note how the BBC have the joint byline after the DK statement, which they didn't fully reproduce or supply a link for. The shortened version being without the DK criticism for journalists.

    If I had been younger and was geographically closer to the 'action' I would have got torn in about it years ago, but that wasn't the case. I think we've collectivelly failed at various, if not all levels and for the sp.ivs, it's been like shooting fish in a barrel.

    I'm the same. It's not far from the stage where I'm going to wash my hands of it and spend my time on other more positive and less stressful/frustrating things. It's not good for the health. The Rangers I knew has all but gone.

    Beware the difference between headlines and reality. Spin offensive on the way. "It's a new era and it's going to be great honest it is, just roll up and spend your money." Sold to you by those who sold every sp.iv who have passed through Ibrox and they expect us to fall for it again.

    Posted the following yesterday, it's so predictable. First stage now in progress..............

    Let's see, take a look at our financials over the last X years. Consider the standard of executive management we have suffered. Read the 120 day business review for an in-house opinion. ----------------------------------------------- Is it "strange" or unreasonable that supporters flag-up or are concerned about what some may think a wage that doesn't correspond with market value ? Given some of the 'beauties' of late, you really wonder if some are simply at it.

    Whoever filed that piece (no byline submitted) is 'on the defensive' because he knows himself to be 'guilty' and/or is editing after Toxic influence. Such a statement shouldn't have had any omissions or at least been made available in full via an easily visible link. The omission only leads one to help confirm that certain individuals within BBC Scotland (IMO, McLaughlin and Lamont) were jounalists included in the DK reference to the Toxic conduit.

    Here was me thinking that the club were cutting back on excessive player wages, although I don't know exactly when McGregor or his agent negotiated that figure and agreed to join Rangers. If you think about the situation, you are nearing 30 with a history of serious knee injuries and approaching the end of your contract. You are a run of the mill centre back at SPFL1 level, decent but not eye-catching good that English clubs have ever lined up in a queue to sign you, in fact you were still with Cowdenbeath in the third tier when you were 24. I can understand Rangers wanting a 'top tier centre half' to play in the second tier from which they want immediate promotion, fine. But why pay him 6K p/wk ? At St.Mirren he'd have been on how much ? I'd guess somewhere between 1K and 2K p/wk. Just say we'd offered 3,500, who would have offered more ? As for the way his contract is structured regards a second year kicking in after a certain number of games that he is available to play in. We could have the situation where his second year has kicked in and he gets another serious injury towards the end of the season. Now, it's probably this way because McGregor wants a resolution prior to January, so he has a better idea if he needs to look for another club, understandable but it seems all the concessions came from Rangers when they should have been holding the good cards. Of course there is another issue about him being played as right-back but another day.

    That's one of the possible reasons but then it's not as if many Bears will base their take on what he has to say. Different sources ? Source(s) playing him ? etc

    Here is a brief general outline of what may be going through the minds of Irvine and Bishop. - Ashely does deal / installs his man or men on the executive board (probably CEO) - Spin campaign regards new era / investment / new players / competing with Celtic at the top / Champions League - ie. Give Hope to those who need to hear it and will want to believe - tangible sweetener to show will and create momentum / possibly a new manager - continued spin / headlines about new players / sell STs and merchandise Therafter - sob stories about players who got away / need for youth followed by the road to no-where................ --------------------------------------------------------------------- ie. They think they can spin enough gulible fans the line to keep the numbers worthwhile for SD. Meanwhile further nurturing the division and creating the 'Real Loyal Bear' who will continue to spend their money.

    Things will have to move more quickly than that because of the various deadlines looming.
  13. buster.
    Better than I expected but neither is it any kind of result. Interesting and worrying that Ashely would seem to be ignoring him.

    IIINames appears to have 'flipped' a few weeks ago. Now that could be down to one of various possible reasons.

    Richard Wilson @RichwilBBC "Long statement from Dave King. Will post, but in essence has provided all requested information and is still intent on providing findkng" "Key par" "In any transaction of this nature there are a number of interests to be consulted and considered. "The board has apparently engaged constructively on our proposal while advancing its own points as to what it believes is in the best interest of the club and its shareholders. Sandy Easdale has similarly apparently engaged constructively including highlighting some concerns. I have today responded to these concerns in writing. He will now consult with his co-shareholders and hopefully revert soonest so that we can proceed to agreement and the earliest possible implementation thereof." https://twitter.com/RichwilBBC

    Whilst on this, it's been noticeable of late (last week or so) that many media outlets have pointedly made reference to all the details regards numbers and how the DK Tax Case was settled with the SA authorities. I think it points to correspondence from Toxic Jack being sent to various meda outlets with such detail layed out very clearly. Let me make it clear that I'm not pretending it (taxcase and subsequent settlement) didn't happen or am I saying the media shouldn't go with it. I am saying that it shows the media up in a bad light, that this publicly available detail wasn't reported clearly at an earlier juncture and seemed to require it being fed to them which in turn allowed one side 'tactical timing' regards said detail. As for your point DB, I'm not sure what it was but am not in a rush to find out.
  21. buster.
    Do you believe that DK&Co have 'dishonest or profiteering intentions' regards their present negotiations about Rangers ?
  22. buster.
    They are starting to rip the p**h out of us rather more blatantly.

    Seems as if he changed sources at some point in the second half of the summer. Certainly sucking on the Toxic slant these days. I'd see this as almost encouraging.

    As I've said before, the dropping of the term "Champions League" into the general lexicon on a particular issue was a devious and clever spinning tool that has a soothing effect regards opinion on any prospective Ashely involvement. However it jumps straight from the our present situation and places us in the CL group stages without telling us how this would happen and how it would be funded. A lazy media tend to then use it and help the spin gain credibility and for many it becomes accepted fact. Green was more blatant regards his "staying until the CL music was playing at Ibrox" but it fed duped supporters intoxicating sweeties and mental imagery.

    No-one is coming to pump in tens of millions for philanthropic reasons but the main difference between King and the rest is that the former would run or have run the business with the club in mind whilst the latter would be doing so for profit that would leave 'in their pockets'. That is to say, run as a football club and not as a corporate vehicle to profit from. Regards the CV and his tax offences from SA, they are now settled. Unlike Rafat Rizvi who is still 'wanted'.
