    A change of manager won't make the board or their handlers any more appealing.
  2. Rangersitis
    Of course there is limited appeal. Declining standards of football in the Scottish game has been happening over many years and it is terminal. People just need to accept that and work with what is there until such time that an escape route presents itself, most likely some sort of European set up. Even then it would be in a second or third tier.

    I know.
  4. Rangersitis
    Aye, that's exactly what is called for.

    I have always had those aspirations for my children, but I have also encouraged them to think for themselves. If I raised a child who didn't have the wherewithal to adapt to their surroundings, I would see it as a failure on my part. I'm afraid that this is where all this talk of 'class' becomes rather silly.

    I would say that you need to go back to 1912 for the start of Rangers being a 'British' club, and it was for quite a few different reasons.

    It's all relative, but ok, let's take Newcastle United. The London to Edinburgh trains after a match are stowed with their supporters travelling back to Scotland. They won't be the only team.

    You're simply enforcing a lazy stereotype with that comment !

    Sir David Murray was the man who recruited the middle-class money to the club by marginalising the traditional core support, let's call them bigoted, one-eyed dinosaurs , by pricing them out and through the mass introduction of season tickets. Look how that turned out. The middle-class will return once they have a leisure activity which is expensive enough to make it exclusive. One only needs to look to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea or West Ham to see that in action.

    There are bigoted, one-eyed, ranting dinosaurs within the support, with some of them coming from this middle-class, but then again the same can be said for most clubs in one way or another. It's called society.

    Care to set everyone right on the true figures of King's wealth? Also, the depth of the pocket is relative to the length of the arm, which I took to be the gist of Frankie's post. Apologies if I am mistaken. EDIT: I wasn't.

    The middle-class has always been there, and I'm sure that there has always been a level of disdain shown to those who don't quite 'measure up'. The bigger problem to me seems to lie with the social climbers who like to hide their true roots behind a veil of respectability. The Hyacinth Bucket effect, I suppose. This, coupled with a political elite who are hell-bent on seeing multiculturalism and political correctness foisted upon everyone, leads to a situation where, yes, there will be some who hide their allegiances for fear of being shunned for a Sunday fourball with the club captain, but to achieve that multilayered, multi-opinioned entity that you crave, there will inevitably be casualties along the way. There will also be others, myself included, who yearn for the days when the game was a bit rough around the edges and where passion frequently boiled over for a couple of hours each week. Give me that over the soulless stadium filled with the 2.4 family bedecked in matching bench coats and their six quid gourmet burgers. The socio-political make up of a football crowd has naturally evolved through time and will continue to do so. Engineering it to go a certain way will never work as it will always alienate someone.

    They are more than capable of doing things which don't meet with the approval of the 'usual suspects' when it is done to protect their own positions and those in the shadows pulling the strings. Any board worth it's salt would be making decisions which were for the good of the company, regardless of how popular that made them.

    Forgot to say....well in, FS.
  15. Rangersitis
    Probably the biggest pointer as to where their priorities lie. The fees for this continual firefighting must be horrendous.
  16. Rangersitis
    Perhaps the board should consider hiring some PR gurus.
  17. Rangersitis
    Well done to all involved. A triumph for justice.
  18. Rangersitis
    A feat shared by Eric Caldow in a career that stretched to 600+ games.
  19. Rangersitis
    Well things have now changed. If the board want to treat fans like customers, they need to accept that a sub-standard product, shady deals and faceless shareholders is not a great marketing strategy. Their reliance on season ticket sales is their problem. How are they going to find a solution?
  20. Rangersitis
    Just wait until you get to the lightswitch bomb!
  21. Rangersitis
    Plastic tumblers that night!
  22. Rangersitis
    Seriously, Time4_Change, unless you are self-employed, tell him nowt.
  23. Rangersitis
    In that case, given the lack of a statement, it must be assumed that ST sales are on a par with expectations.
  24. Rangersitis
    I'm merely playing Devil's Advocate here. If they have the funds to limp through the next 4-6 weeks then there is no effect on the immediate financial conditions. Until they are well into the public sale they can say that they still 'expect' to sell the same numbers. Whether they do think that looks to be immaterial. Do they really need to provide a 'good' reason to anybody in order to fulfill their obligations as laid out in that rule you quoted? They appear to have had everything worked out up to this point, I can't see any reason why that will change in the future.
  25. Rangersitis
    The wording of that is pretty loose. Expectations are just that.
