Or your reply implied things that you didn't mean to or was unclear? It would be easy enough to clarify but you don't seem willing for whatever reason, which is your prerogative, but it's a forum and when you say that you don't see what the issue is, I'm not sure why you get upset when it's explained to you.

 

I know it's not easy doing interviews and presumably the questions were all pre-screened, but there's certainly a lot of unanswered questions.  

My reply was perfectly fine and I don’t need to clarify it. It was a polite reply to another poster, we have spoken, job done 
 

That’s not correct. Nothing was pre screened - Chris & I choose them and we choose to stick to them, be neutral and not waver from that. Which we did and both are happy with how it went 

Now, as I said, I am out of this. I have no desire to go back and forward or bicker with folk. 
 

Cheers ??

we always end up going full life of Brian on this issue. 

Passive aggression the order of the day and repeat 

Think I’ll pass from here on in bud 

Interview has been done, People can dissect it how they wish

You said "I'm not sure what the issue is with him" and that what you had been told tells us everything. That suggests you didn't understand the conflict of interest (at best) which was backed up by the fact you didn't ask Laura why C1872 refused to take part in the club share issues, particularly when she emphasised that buying shares was their core aim.

You make a lot of assumptions on a simple reply

Chris Graham is known to heavily influence C1872's decisions.

Dave King gives Chris Graham an apparently extremely overpaid job at Rangers.

The Chris Graham influenced C1872 turn down the chance to invest in the club at least twice and instead decide to raise £13m to buy Dave King's shares.

 

Are you really saying that you don't see the potential issue with that?

Not sure where I said I didn’t see the the potential issues with that? Can you show me 

I gave a polite response in conversation 
 

I said - I didn’t see the issue with him and admitted freely, in the post you quoted, I wasn’t aware why there is an apparent depth of feeling against him (as a person). 
 

Hence why I wasn’t questioning someone who wasn’t on the podcast

That’s the club 1872 \ King interview in written form for those who prefer that to a podcast

Good luck in the new role Stevie, whatever it is

Ha thank you 

Nothing that exciting but an exciting opportunity for me, you will know about it soon

First off thanks to Stevie for everything he’s done in the past and I wish him all the very best for his future .

 

Hopefully the blogs continue .

 

With  regards to the podcast with DK and Laura Faulkes , I get really really frustrated when they answer in a way that’s not 100% true , I’m not accusing them of lying , but they use very political woolly language , in fact Dave King is turning into our very own Donald Trump , he plays to the gallery .

 

Another question or rather point that needs addressed is the position of DK,s favourite poodle , aka , Chris Graham , what position does he still have with regards Club1872 , or now that DP has booted him out , is he gone completely .

A lot of people asking regarding Chris Graham, I’m not sure what the issue is with him

However I took the decision not to question someone who wasn’t on the podcast themselves, didn’t seem fair 

I however pushed Laura on who was involved and was anyone behind club1872 and in the background. 
 

The answer is their is a few volunteers with three board members. 1 paid member of staff 

Personally I think that tells us everything but not sure why it’s a major issue. I appreciate I am obviously completely naive so apologies for that

A shame. Thanks for the ones you've done. I haven't listened to them all yet  but will at some point. 

Appreciate that 

It’s not anything to do with the podcast or not enjoying it, I’ve actually got a job offer which I can’t say anything about as yet 

But when it comes out people will figure out why I have stopped 

It’s definitely a good thing personally

Are you giving up the podcast, Stevie?

Yes 

One more episode then I am stopping

Thanks for doing the interview Stevie and IMO it did help clear up (for good and bad) some things.

 

However, on this type of subject where the hard earned cash of so many fans is wanted, absolute transparency and full disclosure from the word go is needed. If it has to be almost dragged out then it's not a good sign.

What has had to be dragged out? 

9 minutes ago, Bill said:

It was fairly interesting too but hardly the platform where the big truths were ever going to be revealed. I don't believe you actually think it answered all the questions either? 

I think it’s a good platform for a first interview and there is plenty of follow up or additional ones to ask 

But if talking to the fans isn’t the platform then what would be? 
 

Surely we can’t say they aren’t giving answers or being truthful when they have had extensive media interviews for the last week?

However it is what it is, natural people are suspicious 

Hopefully follow up interviews bring even more clarity on this platform

Another day passes and the parties involved still can't bring themselves to provide an open and honest picture of what's going on with this share sale. It might be a small point but when you're holding your hand out and/or spending other people's money a little transparency might reflect well on you.

If only the seller and purchaser had done an extensive interview answering many fans questions on this very Platform 

A real Shame actually 

Oh hold on, they did......

Gersnet 4lads podcast is out tomorrow, Blog has been posting detailing everything we ask but they go above and beyond that explaining everything 

It is 90mins long 

It clarifies everything from Fall outs, money going straight into the club etc and what King says is extremely interesting 

If Rangers want the £13m then they will get it, he clarifies everything in this offer on the podcast 

I’ll further add, Chris and I asked the questions without opinion or influence, there is no opinion except to thank Dave King personally and on behalf of those that had asked me to on the podcast

We tried to ask the questions and get the answers folk wanted

Seriously Stevie ?

 

What a way to speak to someone ?  Elaborate please because nothing I said was disrespectful and I attempted to explain that I wasn't speaking AT you.

 

Sorry, but your response comes across as being a tad snowflake.

 

You are taking my posts on this subject far, far too personally.  And despite my best efforts to explain I am talking about the topic rather than at you, you are willfully ignoring that.

 

It is OK to disagree, as we do.  And I did it respectfully.  Yet you take offence, I can't help that.

 

You have a good day too.

You are responding saying don’t go ‘greeting’ and the likes, hardly friendly 

It wasn’t an explanation, it was another example of you forcing your opinion at me 

(When people do this stuff it shows - YOU) 

As for being a snowflake? Really?! Lol - More like I have no desire to waste my time arguing about a subject that many points we actually agree on & I’ve never challenged you about but you still don’t see it 

However, this thread is getting clogged up with crap like this, so DM & we’ll discuss or we’ll move on - isn’t worth wasting the thread on 

Big game tonight an all ??

Classy

Well if you are going to be obtuse about it then what do you expect? 

11 minutes ago, Bill said:

It's not my show. If you don't know why you're going to talk to him there's little point asking other people.

Ah Apologies, I thought I was talking to someone with a worthwhile point 

7 minutes ago, Bill said:

Hmmmm

Enlighten us @Bill

Why is he coming on? 

3 minutes ago, rbr said:

Possibly because your blog is the best out there mate , and you always put Rangers first .

 

lol see what I did there .

Ha! Appreciate that even if it is in jest somewhat! 
 

Important to note, We’ll ask the questions, even the difficult ones and we’ll let people judge 

I’m pro fan involvement, I’m also pro this board & the points made before are relevant 

It’s a challenging one but something I’m looking forward to

If I'm honest, not a lot. Why do you think he's agreed to an interview?

My charming wit, to help my desire for a blazer, to star on 4lads pod with the other esteemed guests we have had?
