Rangers sign former Hamilton defender Ryan Finnie
stewarty replied to Super Cooper's topic in Rangers Chat
If he has played unders for Scotland he must have a reasonable pedigree. A short term contract sounds ideal to see if it will work out for us both. Welcome, young man! -
Seems to me there's a mix of three key reasons why we're churning out such mediocrity. 1) Ally and his management team have significant question marks against them in terms of their ability to coach and develop players. 2) The players seem to be coasting as they've known for some time that the league has been won. Some of our early season performances were actually quite decent. 3) Our players are just not as good as those we are used to. For all his perceived/actual flaws, I don't see Ally leaving until he's at least had a crack at the top league and under "normal" conditions. However, these question marks will not magic themselves away any time soon. That said, when I compare the squad this season, with last, I see a far fitter and more organised side that has performed to a much more consistent level. We've scored 3/4 goals per game and not been beaten in the league. Clearly the main focus of pre-season was to improve the fitness of the squad, which was severely lacking last year. Next season's evolution will be intriguing.

Fantastic from the boys at TRS. Well done

By coincidence, @Gri64 on twitter said last night that he had emailed a copy of the TRS article to Colin Kingsnorth to ask for a comment. His reply was along the lines that it was easy enough to withdraw the loan if better terms were on offer elsewhere. I await further developments...

Interesting tactics from King. Essentially he seems to be driving the agenda with some fresh comments every day or so. This constantly puts the club on the back foot, having to respond to King. It also doesn't leave much time for some of the Board's favoured outlets to start running interference.

Rangers: Imran Ahmad to ask judge to arrest £750,000 funds
stewarty replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
This is eerily familiar. The urgency of the £1.5m loan now makes perfect sense. -
In addition to the valid concerns already voiced on this thread, and being the sceptical sort, the bit that peaked my interest was how the use of Daniel Stewart, our Nominated Advisor (NOMAD), somehow validated the reasons for apparently ignoring other sources of finance whe ich may have offered more preferential terms than Laxey. Call me cynical, and I'm sure the NOMAD has some involvement where such decisions require disclosure to investors through the stock exchange, but it just seems like a comment thrown in to add the veneer of respectability to the situation. In the same way Charles Green was fond of throwing in the name of Deloitte when it suited him.

I'll hold fire till I read it, but it doesn't sound like I'm going to like this. -
Responded. A positive development. Important now to see that the results are published and acted upon.

Scotland squad for the friendly with Poland
stewarty replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Works for us I guess in that he wont get injured when away with the squad or playing. -
At least the academy scouting network has been rated highly. That's something. So its just the senior team's scouting network that is pish (non-existant) then!

Tomorrow's Record - King predicts financial meltdown again?
stewarty replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Possibly, to an extent. They will provide the results up to say December/January (whatever the mid-year point is), and at that particular point in time. This may provide some clarity, but unlikely that it will explain everything.- 115 replies

Tomorrow's Record - King predicts financial meltdown again?
stewarty replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Okay, so he's done some maths and worked out what everyone knew when it was first uttered by Stockbridge pre-AGM, that we were going to be running low in cash at this time of the year. However, the accounts did state that we have an unsecured facility of ~£2.5m. I presume this is why the likes of Wallace have been confident that we are not in any immediate danger. Serious concerns remain though.- 115 replies
