    If you understand the motivation for the tie in to Newcastle (as per your post above No.75) why do suggest a different starting point ?

    I wouldn't expect any groups of people "onboard" with what I wrote after 30 seconds thought. It was more a simple starting point to start thinking outwith our own situation given the "nature of the beast". Thereafter you would need to develop any thoughts and see what merits they might have or where it may lead. The "trust me" was more to do with the general trends I referred to.

    I don't need a "study" to realise that this is the case. There is hardly any great leap of faith required to join these particular dots if you observe keenly. If you don't, trust me.

    I think you misjudge the current situation and almost patronise a section of the support that I obviously think bigger than you do. It goes without saying that fans would like to see a successful team on the park. However, I think after recent years, there are many more supporters that now appreciate the importance of having a club properly and honestly run from the boardroom. What's your priority......short term success on park...or...transparency and honesty (well run club) upstairs.

    I don't think you appreciate the underlying feeling within much of the demographic that may buy footballing merchandise. The language understood comes down to pounds and pence. When you have someone like Ashely/SD, if you want to organise a boycott that might actually hurt him, you have to use your imagination and creativity when looking towards a wider boycott that incorporates more people. Part of the Rangers support won't metaphorically hurt him. There is currently a general mood that could be tapped into using social media, but it would take calculated organisation with the first port of call being the Newcastle support. Nor is there a need to restrict it to 'one particular angle'.

    It's about throwing out ideas. There is increasing public anger about how the 'system' is repeatedly kicking the wee man in favour of the big and how the political classes no longer represent the 'wee man'. You take this into the football arena and there are many supporters who may listen and empathise with X suffering from such behaviour. It's all about organising in a professional and calculated manner.

    Do you agree with the sentiment ? ie. You want to see a successful team on the park and don't really care about those on the RIFC/TRFC boards and their MO.

    I think it'll give us an indication as to where he and his agent have decided to 'tie the horse' and if Ally is 'up for a fight' both in the dressing room and upstairs........... with the provision that the club beat Livingston.
  11. buster.
    Tomorrows press conference should be interesting. What kind of Ally will be answering the questions,............... defiant and pro-active..... or......... defensive and reactive ? What level of pressure will be applied by the media ?..... Will he be asked if he'll resign on Saturday if we don't win ?
  12. buster.
    Agreed, although I think if he were to attempt such, he would hypothetically and metaphorically 'shot' aswell. If ever someone fitted the role of a 'philistine' it would be our friends from Inverclyde.
  13. buster.
    Yes, but a little nudge here and there regards timing always helps. What I think is in play is any added and timely pressure/momentum that can be brought to bear regards a hypothetical negotiation between the 'two sides' leading to some kind of settlement, especially given the lack of cash at the club.

    The Sun and Irvine tend to be close. I wonder if the prominence and timing of the Micheal Stewart piece in The Sun had anything to do with Irvine. I don't dispute that it was the true opinion of MS, that it was accurate or that after the Hibs result there wasn't good enough reason anyway.

    The club website has the BNP (5.23%) and Ashley (3.68%) shareholdings seperate. http://www.rangersinternationalfootballclub.com/share-information Combined they would be 8.89% below the 10% limit (re. ownerhip in 2 clubs). - Who do we think has directed the story towards The Sun ? - Would it have any link with the latest spinning blog from ? - If true, why is it not reflected in the list of shareholders ? Not more misleading and confusing messages, who would have thought it ?
  16. buster.
    But you thought you'd "start" by bringing it up on here..................
  17. buster.
    Agreed Although you have to consider it from their point of view and the bulging pockets of many of them, reflect success. We are only the 'corporate vehicle'.
  18. buster.
    I think the next few days press (in some cases c&p spin) will be interesting regards if and where pressure may be exerted in either direction. Media can play an important part in banging the drums or trying to 'calm' fans. Obviously a poor result at Livingston would trump any calls for 'calm'.
  19. buster.
    Where do you start with that type of logic ? ....................... For me, it explains in part why it's been so easy to confuse, divide and plunder the Rangers support.
  20. buster.
    It can and has. This type of matter tends to go through stages. The first is focus on the team/manager and that is currently where we are. A poor result at the weekend would probably result in a quick jump to the next stage and to what you refer to.
  21. buster.
    The board will organise, 'ride the wave' and try and turn it into a plus (regards their interests). First effect is that it switches immediate attention away from board.
  22. buster.
    No-one says it's simple but the over-riding danger IS the club's survival/competitivity at a reasonable level. ie. to ensure there is a park to play on comes before what is happening on it. The whole omnishambles stems from those above. Had we had a board with the longterm interests of the club in mind, the monies raised in the IPO would in part have gone towards infrastructural spend in the football operation. If Graham Wallace worked for a board who were in it for the club's benefit, then he'd have been able to change the structure and McCoist would almost certainly have been out. The fruit is rotten because of who have been and are in control. Why is it that the club may not have enough money to pay him off ? ps. Don't mistake this for the defence of McCoist, I never thought he'd make it as a manager.
  23. buster.
    Apparently, unless you have a signed affidavit from said individuals they don't exist.
  24. buster.
    Aye, perhaps the clubs survival is the most pressing issue. Frankie, there is No "perhaps" about it. The dogs in the street know that McCoist can't do the job and want change, it isn't an either or. But that change is complicated further by our financial situation which is because of....................aye, the mess upstairs.
  25. buster.
    That is 'Black Knight' of Monty Python territory rather than a Noble French swordsman. That almost surprises me, coming from you.....but tbh, not any more.
