I don't buy that supposed standing-up to anyone cost him his job. He went because the SFL ceased to exist and he wasn't unhappy to walk with a handsome pay-off.

Almost as if their AGM 'manifesto' was in part somewhat misleading and sparing in detail.

12/12/2013 ? So the contract was verbally agreed a week before the AGM. 6 days after Somers Open Letter (Within regulatory notice) I recall there being loaded speculation at the time from one of the then main agitators on FF (Applepine) about BS having to/ moving on after the AGM. Applepine, the same poster/agitator, who in early January knew about the direction of the membership scheme and it's proposed meetings with the CEO and manager.

He is if you are paying him. He strikes me as the type who would be willing to front the sp.ivs for the right price. Scott Gardener wouldn't.
-
You have to remember the market in which we will be shopping. The salary that will be on offer. The budget that will be given. The perception of Scottish football. It's not like the old days. To a degree Celtic had their hands tied through some of these constraints, were KB'd by Keane and gambled on Delia.

I thought I'd come on and mention McInnes as a replacement but until we sort out the boardroom and finances, we will be building on moving sands.

Top Tip. Take the pic when the sun is out and there aren't big dark clouds hanging around.

Wouldn't fancy Longmuir, period. I don't believe him to be a strong enough character or that he'd represent value for money. This at a time when if you don't add value then you shouldn't be there. He does give me the impression of someone who will do what he is told and not rock any boats aslong as he gets his money. Aslong as the powerbase remains the same at Ibrox, the rest is decoration.

It would seem to be advantagous to the opposition if Mr.Ambrose starts as many games as possible. Neither should we get in the way if Mr.Ambrose is looking to establish some kind of world record in (lack of) discipline. I hope the report gets lost.

Whoever was asking the questions should have been asking the same to those in the mysterious Easdale block of proxies...........this is where the 'onerous contracts' came from. Colin Kingsworth has a track record of flexibility regards what he announces...... We'll vote as the fans want......................................Sorry, we'll change our mind. From a post of mine (FF) late last year.
-
The board mantra of the day...................... 'Spin before Scouting' Graham Wallace is 254 days into the job has a 'great CV' with 'excellent football pedigree' but we still haven't got a head scout.........but he does think that 'spin' is more important.
-
You should have been a PR man's assisstant who attempts the black arts but isn't very good at them.
-
Warning: I'm guessing without any expertise. Could it be that after the 'Stockbridge 714K shares bombshell', this is to officially quell rumoured doubts regards possible unannounced share options for others ? Another step towards an attempt to raise finance. edit. I see I'm only repeating what Frankie said, sorry.
-
"incredible" with a small "i" given our serial gullibility that has in great part allowed the Pilfering Circus to last this long.
-
The man who provides Stockbridge with a glowing reference whilst very keen on the phrase 'legacy issues' regards finance. The board who promote plastic 'communication and engagement' but don't reply to e-mails from the RST, who have a significant block of shares. The board who talk of 'robust financial health' whilst squirming around looking for cash. A board who serialy mislead and lie in search of the pound from your pocket.
-
Seems as though 120 days weren't enough.

Surely not Graham "I value Communication and Engagement with fans" Wallace not forgetting.......G "Robust Fianaces" W

With the short-term MO of Green&Co and the sale benificiary being SDM/Lloyds, it doesn't smell of simply "bad planning".

Re. Purchase of Edmiston House Charles Green struck a deal with SDM in September 2012. Green In Murray Talks http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2296-green-in-murray-talks

Dependent on activity/contract that may or may not have been relevant last weekend. However the upcoming 18 league matchdays would be more important. Do you are does anyone know of any 'plans' for EH ?
-
He does seem to believe that his one time 'champion' Charles Green bought us Edmiston House. Didn't realise CG had been so generous. I'm being a little unkind to take DB literally but looking back on that particular piece of business is interesting. Edmiston House was purchased with the money going to MIH/Lloyds. It was said at the time to be an investment with matchday revenue generation in mind. I don't know the current state of play with EH but I don't think it is generating revenue or has there been any activity regards taking steps towards it. So you have to focus on the purchase of EH and where the money went because the MO of CG&Co was certainly not the medium to long term. So this spend was against the grain but money went to one of what we may call 'players' within the saga.

Given your consistency for calling things wrong on sp.iv related issues for a number of years, I think your quoted post above should only go to make Rangers supporters more worried.
-
There is no real mystery to all of this. It's simple but what isn't known is timescale or the exact MO in getting there. Sp.ivs got a hold of the club. They fattened it up and gorged themselves almost simultaneously. They also put 'onerous contracts' (OC) in place for further ongoing feeding. Next stage in ongoing process is different because cash has gone and OC makes cashflow even more challanging. They need to try and con/convince fans (revenue) a new leaf has been turned. They need to bring in more finance but have problems in doing so because of recent history and a lack of trust at fans and market levels. Regards the positioning and transfer, securitization or sale of 'Assets', if the sp.ivs retain control,......it's a matter of WHEN, not IF. They have also organised it so as if we contribute a Blue Pound, it is essentially divided up between the football operation, the running of the club/company and the wallets of sp.ivs. A sort of blackmail and easyline for them re.club needing funds to survive. They will squeeze, continue to squeeze until they have extracted full value. If an ongoing Rangers generates good money for them, they'll keep us going. When money dries up, they'll use the assets to keep it going and gain out of any deal regards said assets.

Thank's, you Iearn something every day ! Why call youself that ?
