Why not, I thought I would be the ideal platform for you to tell these people that they are lying, tell them what really happened in front of a large audience. Rather than sitting on a small independent forum that has limited reach that they'll never see. If you have courage of your convictions telling Souness he is lying to his face is more productive than posting on here.

So if you don't trust them to sort it out (neither do I), what's the alternatives? I don't trust them to be able to recruit the correct people (given their abysmal track record) either. We are in a horrific situation and in my opinion, the only credible way forward is getting the correct people in or if the current board can't do that, then they need to sell the club.

So you trust this current board to sort out our finances? The same board that have and continue to spend more than we earn and put us in this situation? What gives you the confidence that they will resolve these issues, recruit the correct people and take us to the level we need to be at?

We're in a situation where Rangers fans don't trust anyone. If the Royal Family were to be rumoured to be buying Rangers they would be decried for not being British and having some shady characters in their family. We'll never move on unless this mindset changes.

Do you think they would be brave enough to stand by their convictions? I think they'd poop in their pants.

So Smith wasn't telling the truth about the offer? The post was about what Smith said, not what he done previously. It's easy to separate if you put your mind to it. Why not discuss and give an opinion on the alleged offer rather than character assassinating Smith and Souness.

Oh it is trolling - you know it is when their options change depending on who's posting. Another poster posted about Sir Alex Ferguson availability. No pile on there or assassination of his character. Next time I'm going to a Q&A I'll invite and pay for tickets for a few on here and they can tell these Rangers legends that they are lying to their face.

So you're saying he's lying? Would believing your version of events make me less gullible than believing the person actually involved? He had already rejected Liverpool twice before deciding to leave. Then it took 7 weeks according to you for him to leave. That's hardly someone who couldn't wait to leave. Honestly, it's hardly worth posting anything on here now due to the continued trolling. You think you're doing the right thing posting some topics discussed at a Q&A then some fans think they know better than the people that were involved in the situations discussed. I'll start saving my money and won't go to these brilliant opportunities to listen to Rangers royalty instead I'll just ask the know-alls on here. Now that truly would be gullible. Who knows what really happened in Graeme Souness' life? Graeme Souness football legend, Rangers royality and CBE or a some faceless random poster on a message board?

Believe what you want, I only passed on what was said. Souness did recommend Murray to Rangers but he didn't 'sell' Rangers to Murray. It's already been established that under Sir Duped, during the 9-in-a-row we were very successful both on and off the pitch.

Edit - bollocks it wasnt SC.

Didn't want him as manager but was interesting to hear why Souness recommended him. Also good to hear Souness talk positively about Clement.

Really? And you know this how? He must have been lying in this interview and today when he told the exact same version of events.

Yeah, he seemed genuine in everything he said both about his time at Rangers and his part in the recruitment process. Think he was a bit miffed at the way it was reported. Said he was asked to interview the candidates and give the board his feedback. He was never under the illusion that his choice would be chosen by the board. He picked Lampard for the reasons above but said Clement is a football person and was a great candidate. I get what you are saying about loans, but it shows Souness was thinking of who would be able to enhance our budget with other avenues. Given Lampard's knowledge of both Chelsea and City's youth setup he might have meant picking up some exciting young players who would make the move due to Lampard's influence. All water under the bridge now off course and for me, Smith's comments regarding a deal to sell the club being discussed and a meeting arranged was the most interesting takeaway. Souness obviously spent some time talking about his playing career at Liverpool and it's easy to forget just how good that Liverpool team was. Sure it was 5 1st division titles and 3 European cups. During that time he insists that they never recieved a team talk. The management just trusted them to go out and do their jobs.

Some snippets from today's Q&A with Graeme Souness which was hosted by Gordon Smith. Souness explained his part in the recruitment of the new manager and he interviewed all candidates. As was reported at the time, his preferred candidate was Frank Lampard. He explained why it was down to Lampard's very good relationship with Chelsea & Man City, his knowledge of their Youth set-ups / players and his ability to bring players from both those clubs on loan given our limited budget. He did go on to say that he was impressed with Clement during the interview and believes Clement is doing as best as can be expected given the players at his disposal. He also sticks by his comment that we need better players. At that point Gordon Smith said that he agrees and what is required is fresh income. He insisted that there was an interest in buying Rangers and a meeting was set up for a deal to be completed only for the Rangers board to pull the plug. Both said that there remains interest in Rangers but with the shareholdings being held by many different people, it's difficult to get them all to agree to a sale. Both agreed that without the board selling the club on, we'll not move forward. It was an excellent day and Souness & Smith spoke really well. Souness said Gough was his best signing but mentioned Butcher, Wilkins as well. Said Derek Ferguson was an absolute talent as was Durrant. He also rated Terry Hurlock and Ian Ferguson. Said the 2 mistakes he made at Rangers were ; letting Davie Cooper leave for Motherwell and accepting the Liverpool role. He said he should have moved "upstairs" and let Walter take over. As I said it was an excellent day and great to be in the company of Rangers people and Rangers royalty.

Anyone heard any update on the bar going into the old superstore?

This afternoon, I'm off to a Q&A with Graeme Souness organised by my RSC. Can't wait.

The last time I bumped into Jim'll was at Turin Breaks concert in Barrowlands just after Helicopter Sunday. We had a wee chuckle about the happenings of that day and a wee burst of Championees and "We're Lovin It".

Was my reply "arsy"? Wouldn't be like me 😀 Forgot about Calscot (my age) and who was the guy from Bournemouth? He actually came up for a game at Ibrox and a wee meet up?

Fair enough, that's your opinion. I still think saying nothing is worse than saying something. The example of a holding statement regarding the Ibrox redevelopment stands. It wasn't what the fans wanted to hear, but the board finally telling the truth (that we all knew anyway) was the correct thing to do.

1-0 Scotland.
