    Mr.Hemdani, I wrote a rather long reply to you further back on the thread (post No.60) in case you've came back and missed it. ps. Obviously no problem if it's that you simply don't want to respond.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If my doctor makes a serious mistake in diagnosis, I'll think twice about going back to him. If he does it again I'll change my doctor.

    Didn't see CW coming........... Didn't see CG&Co coming........... ...........etc. (?) Do you think posters should take your opinion on Rangers politic's invoving the boardroom seriously ?

    I'd say that some of your money may already be with them. Isn't it strange that there are Rangers supporters who would hope that sp.ivs find or jump through loopholes to get away with having ripped off the club. IMO it's not the brightest stance for a genuine supporter who doesn't have other motives/interests.

    So despite the various warning signs for those who cared to look you didn't see the dangers. Did you apply the same level of scrutiny towards CG&Co ?

    In an Open Letter referred via a regulatory notice to the markets on the 6th of December 2013, Mr.Somers also informed readers and investors that the 'business review' was already underway looking at every contract at the club (RIFC). This came around two weeks before the 120 day timescale was mentioned and kicked off. So the 127 was really at least 141 days. The timescale was a sham at 120 but they thought they'd get away with a few more 'under the radar'. Trust this lot ?...........aswell buying a second hand car from a gypo. Misleading (deliberate) or dishonest ?

    Whilst there will be differing opinions in just about any group on any subject, there is often one that is more dominant than others. Coming to RM, I am reliably informed that those who tend to be the 'loudest' and what may be regarded the general opinion have been over the piece advocating the qualities of Craig Whyte, Green&Co, Stockbridge & James Easdale mini board and now the current board. I appreciate that there will have probably been a less vocal minority with more sense.

    In an Open Letter referred via a regulatory notice to the markets on the 6th of December 2013, Mr.Somers praised Brian Stockbridge to the heavens in what may be termed as AGM electioneering. Misleading or dishonest ? (Misleading can be deliberate = dishonest)

    Thank-you for the reply BH. Re. CW When you say "one of the first" from where or what exactly do you refer ? As you have brought your criticisms into play, did you restrict them to the RST spokesman or did you take on the task of trying to educate Rangers Media regards Mr.Whyte ? I ask that because IIRC someone else on here mentioned you were active on RM and the more vocal members on there were very much pushing CW up to his metaphorical "95th minute" as we went into Administration. The same who were so vicifourous in backing Green and his cohorts up to and beyond the recordings being published. Re. CG and chums You got that very wrong, as did many tbf. (For the record, I called out Green from May 2012, (CW: before he took over). I'd like to ask a similar question as re.CW, did you try to debate against the pro Green camp on Rangers Media post April 2013 ? If you did it would have been fairly hard work I'd have thought. One of the reasons I ask you these questions is as I said to give me some background as to your record on such matters because you are heavily involved in the debating of club politics. It was to indulge my curiosity, thank-you again for replying. The other more indirect question about other forums or groups was to establish if the forums and/or groups that you may be a member were generally of a similar opinion to yourself both general substance and timescales. I wanted to know if someone who took so much time to back the present board had went against the general opinion held on say RM on the likes of CG. All that said if you turn round and tell me you aren't on RM then I've partly wasted my time !! Speaking generally, what disturbs me is that many of the same people who heavily and blindly backed past regimes way beyond 'credible sell-by date even for the gulible' are now backing the present board (not forgetting that many of the shares are still owned by the same people/groups, eg.BPH).....and that I and others I know who were of a similar timely opinion on both CW and CG&Co see the the current board as a danger to the football club. I can't understand why those with such a bad record in such judgement calls can have the gaul to shout so loudly as they venture another and think that fans should be reminded of this. ps. I am not a member of any group but have posted on FF.

    He's had 6 months to buy shares. Crighton bought shares within a month of being appointed. The timing rather points to it being part of a campaign to try and restore confidence amongst those who don't want to buy or renew ST's. ie. he wouldn't have bought them had there been no problems with ST's.

    That depends on who is in the boardroom, 70M has come and gone.
  12. buster.
    The root problem is that the fans want the football club to do well whilst the board want whatever is the best way to earn money from the club (not re-invest). There is an ongoing process in place with different stages along a parrallel 'journey'. The CG&Co stage was very successful for most of those directly or indirectly connected. However for the football club it was a disaster.
  13. buster.
    For background to your expertise on such matters, perhaps you could answer the following for yourself and say for the 'groups'/forums currently supporting the board. At what point did you/they realise the game was up with CW ? At what point did you/they realise the game was up with CG&Co ?

    Pot calling kettle Black is a phrase that comes to mind. My posts should come with a warning of my blindness. Of course everything is ok and we can see exactly the value that has come of the approximate 70M spend all through our scouting, youth and development, the star signings aswell as the long list of improvements to the stadium amongst other things. The extra staff being taken on and the boardroom having earned their generous bonus because of their sterling work in taking our club forward to a better place.

    Whilst I understand the logic behind this and appreciate that to a degree it may be true, I also have another thought to add. That playing first team football is the best experience you can get. I also don't get signing a guy who scored a barrowload in the 3rd tier to have him start very few matches in the same division. What happens is you get a player whose development could stall and come off the tracks. Yr 1: Score a barrowload with QotS in 3rd tier Yr2: Join Rangers, limited playing time despite playing in same 3rd tier. Yr3: Limited playing time as older forwards are brought in / not ready because in part no development the previous year. Yr4: Goes on loan, recovers goal-scoring form....End of contract,

    As the inevitable transfer speculation (in and out) starts to pick up speed we should remember where the real problems ly regards the football. There are many who camp themselves in either anti-board or anti-football mgmt. This doesn't make sense to me because if the board aren't going to act in a serious way to address the root of the footballing problem, that makes them part of the same problem that many pro-boarders seem to focus in on.

    He is and has been nothing more than a tool in the pockets of those who are in and behind the various incarnations of sp.iv controlled boards. How can you take the preaching of a man seriously who was pro-Green, Stockbridge, Ahmad et al and now preaches in favour of those who blame the same. Not forgetting that the current board had given high praise towards the likes of Stockbridge in their AGM electioneering. It's one thing a punter making a mistake but how can a self-proclaimed 'visionary' do the same and hope to maintain credibility amongst any apart from his unconditional 'fans'. He helps steer a campaign of spin that generally the same groups and individuals consume and helps prevent them from asking awkward questions. This particular piece is a slant aimed moreso at the middle ground to try and help them reconcile the fact Richard Gough is supporting efforts against the board. IMO McMurdo in all his guises (see webpages) comes accross as a slippery customer, eg. a PR consultant (spin-doctor) or a Super Abundance preacher. Note. That since his financial abundance schemes became more well known amongst the support he has modified his "offer".

    The board occasionally talk the talk but next to never walk the walk. The board cannot have serious aspirations wrt football and propose to keep the current footballing management team in place. Nor can they apply an expensive plaster (DoF or equivalent) and expect anything but more of the same or confrontation that goes no-where. The truth is that the board have other priorities.

    That sentence helps crystalise where we are at present. Elsewhere I started a thread 12-18 months ago on how it may in the near future be possible to look at Newcastle Utd and get a relative idea of what will be on the Ibrox menu in many different areas. I still think that this may be the case if things drift. Wrt on the pitch, it would be the ongoing management of a lowering of expectation levels in conjunction with money that is to be made available.

    There is still more than 30 minutes to equalise...............the obvious risk is losing a second as we push more men forward. A 94th minute equaliser would be sweet.

    IIRC the actual case is early next year.

    Difficult to comment on a case where tweets is all you have to go on. Hopefully the full written verdict will get out into the internet. Going by the tweets most of the case being put forward by the club didn't seem to be backed up by much other than basically asking the judge to have confidence in what was being said. We have seen this at times to be problematic, eg. the 2.5M unsecured loan facility made available in the audited accounts published in October 2013 which seemed to have vaporised come the time it was required.

    HT: 0-0 We need a goal or the last quarter becomes deep defence with not much time to get one back in the case of conceeding.

    Well there you go. I suppose at least SDM/Lloyds got their money !!
