    It wouldn't be the first time in football that a team was shaped/selected so as to make sure X,Y & Z all started. However the largely uncreative centre of midfield has been a constant since Hutton and Black started back at Glebe Park in August of 2012. Watching that game and many since it was plain that creating goalscoring chances didn't seem to be a priority. The only reason we overcame most teams was because in the end, 'postmen and plumbers' can only do so much. Now will the penny finaly drop or does Omnishambes FC really want to everything in it's power to discourage fans from attending games. Loyalty to Rangers is one thing but between the politic's/shennanigans of RIFC and dirge that TRFC produce, it is becoming sorely tested.

    IIRC at Ibrox, Riquelme played much of the game central or left/central and was the most influential player in the middle.

    Board Changes

    There has been rumours of a split of sorts within the boardroom regards a number of issues going forward. The split seems to have Easdale(s) plus proxy votes........ versus............. Wallace and probably Laxey Partners with Somers perhaps floating (mainly towards the Easdale block) but this a guess. The 'split' isn't so fundamental as 12 months ago because we now have both sides with the same motivation, making money out of Rangers. It's the way they go about it that will differ, (MO). The Nash appointment clearly gives Wallace another supporter on the board or perhaps both sides have along with other parties (eg.Deloittes) been forced to act as they firefight the main problem(s). There is a significant cashflow problem looming unless the board can raise finance one way or another. I'd have thought the appointment will have this as a driver with perhaps Deloittes insisting on X which means the board must work towards Y in as credible a way as possible.

    Juan Román Riquelme ?

    Not really. Footballwise, IMO McLeod should get a central role NOW.

    The old phrase which claims many Light Blues fans are blind in their loyalty as they didn't question the regime in a meaningful and timely manner springs to mind. Omnishambles FC........................But apparently nowt to complain about Mr.Dickson must have been drinking the same stuff that Graham Wallace was prior to telling us about our robust finances.

    Was going to say that Mr.Nash and his CV would tend to suggest that this wasn't the case but in 21st Century UKPLC I think it has become the norm. Although there are very different levels that go from a simple 'disproportionate renumeration' down to 'pure spi.very'. Note. Generally, over a number of years the 'disproportionate renumeration' becomes the norm. Regards Mr.Nash, I see he has a large number of shares. Does anyone know if he bought them or were they some kind of bonus or similar ?

    I don't know if I'm alone but I'm curious as to how you came up with your username. Was it something to do with choosing the wrong buxom maiden from down South ?

    In an ideal world you would have loked to: - move Peralta on for a nominal fee - look for another club to take on Black's contract with the inevitable part pay-off - farm McCulloch out to pasture and seeing as he's such a Bear ask him to forgo the last year of his contract, Clyde ? - ask around if any club would take Hutton, even on loan - Look to use Crawford and Law more effectively - Play McLeod in the centre

    The first time I encountered Jesus was when I saw a badge with......... 'Jesus saves but Parlane nets the rebound'. So I've grown up with with the thought that if Jesus had the audacity to save a Parlane penalty then he must be on tuther side and not very effective. Send this Rev. a new badge..................."Jesus wasnae a Sp.iv"

    One of the main attractions for players to come to Ibrox has obviously been money. We have been a club famed within the world of agents for overpaying a player, relative to his ability. If Rangers are offering much reduced contracts, expect less players to say "yes". Getting better value for money would be a plus and a step forward if the cash saved wasn't going out on 'onerous contracts' and way OTT salaries of training team, some players and the CEO.

    Anyone who believes in the 'bigman sat up in the clouds' scenario hasnae got a chance when the three spi.vs come calling laden with copious bullshit, more spin and donations for the roof. Out of Touch or Complicit. If OOT, why preach on the matter ?

    Kenny, perhaps the coaching staff could up their game aswell.

    It's horribly pathetic and sad. Over the years the division has been nutured by spin-doctors, this has only gone to encourage such behaviour.
  17. buster.
    I said last December when this was first mooted by Somers, that the board would look for it to help marginalise and divide 'awkward fans groups'. The AGM saw the spi.vs get executive control (except for the 75% vote on Res.10). They want and need to gain more control over the revenue stream and it's 'advertised opinion'. Day by day I get further away from where I once stood. It isn't the Rangers I grew up with, nor for that matter is todays football the game I grew up with. Have to say I feel for the young generation who have invested emotionally in the club.

    I'm afraid we won't. The nearest we could get is an outstanding youngster with potential who is sold before we know whether he will realise promise.

    In the wider world, you are wrong regards criticisms and I was posting on the matter (FF) as it unfolded. I think he is in a privileged place regards commenting on such matters. You can chose to ignore him as eg. many did before when he was commenting on Green. It's another matter regards direct involvement. The 'long' in long-running soap opera has been fed by propaganda, fog and ensuing serialy bad judgement calls from the support in general.

    That post doesn't appreciate and therefore take into account the politic's of the matters involved. MM was fighting a battle within the parameters of good corporate goverence against liars who collectively rode roughshod over him. However it should be noted that despite efforts to the contrary, MM outlasted both CG and IA. He also prevented Daniel Stewart being appointed as Nomad prior to the IPO. I would agree that in the media he has of occasion not been politically correct or has he always came accross 'perfectly'.................. Very few have within the ongoing soap oprea. I would also agree that he shouldn't be directly involved regards the board in the short-term.

    Bunkum & Balderdash A business has to set a budget and live within it's means at all levels. In the case of Rangers, we all know about the financial difficulties, the onerous contracts, the cashflow problems etc. The very first thing that GW did back on the 20th of November 2013 was sign what in essence is a short-term onerous contract that didn't correpond favourably to the finances of the business. Your line about being judged on how well he does should in a sensible prudent world, be reflected in his contract with a need to see tangible results before renumeration reached the dizzy heights they are. Without that or specific triggers for the the main bonus clause what we have seen is empty corporate speak attempting to mask Corporate Goverence (CG) that is more a Charles Green/Daniel Stewart sponsered circus show. Unemployed and never before an CEO, who would climb into the same bed with such a show, give them supposed credibility, have the occasional spat...........only IF he were to get sackfuls of cash for his trouble. A man who came to sort out the problems only if he could continue the 'bonus culture', for having to continue the bullshit culture in the most corporate of language. After recent history, your approach to this is like continuous burning of twenty pound notes. You better be careful or you'll be getting an approach to be on the board for any new fans membership scheme.

    I think there is an obvious issue here that is somewhat self-inflicted. Some say that the quality of food on offer may be a reason for the renowned and discerning West of Scotland palate to hesitate somewhat. However I'd point to the goverence surrounding this matter and ensuing lack of transparency involved that are probably more relevant in the thoughts of would-be voters. To clarify, potential voters and dinner guests observe your seeming approval of a board of directors who mistakenly think Corporate Goverence is 'optional' and that they'll pass. It follows that doubts must form as to your personal standards. Regarding transparency, the second option to vote for doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Indeed it may turn out to be an opportunity for someone who opened the restaurant "Somewhere Else". :laugh2: ps. I'm overseas or I'd have joined you.

    Has Kris put weight back on now he is back at Rangers, or is a 'bad angle/stance' ?
