How much did SDM sell our club for ?.....The rest of the story is an ongoing nightmare with a ray of sunlight in the distance.....

Well.....things are most definitely moving in the right direction

Are the SFA going to investigate this ?

Maybe Parliament is the only place that Fat Boy can be held to account, although he did not appear himself last time...

It is small comfort but I reckon Fat Boy's ego is hurting and he has been outmanoeuvred, shocked to have lost control and is now throwing the toys out the pram ..... I say hold on to his 5m as long as possible ....

I wonder if he is related to Chico Charnley ... I still remember the time that fud challenged Rangers fans to a fight and ran for his life through Maryhill as a samurai sword squad turned up for the duel....

Precisely what i was thinking unless it is under wider British corporate law or to do with registration at Companies House.... Might be challenging us over AIM de-listing ?

Tramps like Ashley should not be allowed anywhere near football clubs....He may well be a billionaire but he would not turn his nose up at 5 quid let alone 5 million.....these people are money obsessed sociopaths

A lot more than Ashley and Easdale......

Didnt know McCulloch knew how to speed...

What with the need to be listed......, I thought the long-term sensible approach was a quasi-democratic form of fan ownership..... Aye some of those venture capitalists, vulture funds and bankers are just what the club needs.... FD/CEO will come in due course.....I quite like the sound of a couple of blokes on 200k max, who were into honesty, added value to the club and pursued fair contracts that were consistent with our size and gave us value.... No bonuses.....they can take home a Sports Direct hoarding if desperate. The idea that there is money to be made by pension funds / institutional investors in our club is laughable.....there is money to be made by strip and rip hedge funds and dodgy bastards but i think we have tried that bus route ...... Let us be realistic ...buy within our means invest in yputh and the future and see how the European leagues develop in the next ten years...without access to massive tv money we need an alternative, realistic strategy based on a mixture of youth, development and good European bargain scouting.

Bit like the African migrant knocking on the captain of HMS Bulwark's door demanding a council flat in Westminster without having the courtesy to thank the captain for saving his/her life...... What would you rather have Ashley control with onerous contracts and promotion or the current situation ?

I hope people give this the board the time and space they need....I think people are being unrealistic....ffs it is only a week since we lost the play-offs ....appointments need time and as for finances we have run out of revenue streams and re-finamcing initiatives because of the previous boards incompetence/waste/financial mismanagement. Whoever is appointed manager needs to be backed 100% by the fans... promotion is a must.

Rangers.....advanced training methods, proper coaching, tactics and set play practice..... Jeez next we will ban the burger, chips and buckfast.....

Excellent post .....there is always an element of risk whatever the credentials .....

He had his chance to motivate some highly experienced, highly paid international/ex-internationals in the second tier of a football backwater. It is simply unacceptable that one of the biggest clubs in the world failed to get promotion given the vast financial advantages we have. It should have been a cake walk. The previous board and McCoist are largely to blame but McCall also had his chance and failed. If a suitable replacement can be found I would replace him. We can ill afford to not be promoted again. In the six play off games was McCall's team a team that inspired confidence, played positively, out-played their opponents with tactics and effort and merited promotion ?

I'd go for 1-2 year contract for the person most likely to get us promoted and take another look at it thereafter....Im sorry long-term plannimg and promotion might not be necessarily compatible companions. And please .....no...it will be a cake walk next season ....complacency ?

One thing is sure he is far from blameless in this fiasco....however like most celebrities, any concept of reality fled his mind long ago....

Another year of the club suffering more indignity, less exposure and finance... Must appoint the correct manager that is willing to stamp his authority on any unruly player.... I would go for a proven manager who has a track record of promotion success on 1-2 year contract. I doubt very much we will be able to get the top class candidate for long-term development/Europe until we are back at the top.

No thank you.

Odious Narcissist......parasites like Ashley should have life-long banning orders.

I would really like to act as an impartial mediator here and say BH is entitled to his opinion but until he has been judged as a fit and proper Rangers fan he should be obliged to keep any opinions to himself.

Where does it say he owns the name ???

I will name a worse captain .... Paterson....

I have been told from an impeccable source in the city that there is a lot of false speculation in this thread.
