Statement From mcColl

[BrahimHemdani 1]

MCollCo should have one spokesperson, McColl.

 

If Murray had any dignity he would keep his trap shut, people in glass houses...........

[Tannochsidebear 2,306]

The Daily Rhebel has been a constant source of bad-mouthing our club for many years now. Absolutely nobody at Rangers should have anything to do with them. Keith Jackson may be the one journalist with Rangers leanings at that paper, but he does not influence the general sway of anti-Rangers stuff that gets put out there.

 

It goes totally against the general feelings of most Bears for exclusive interviews to be given to this outlet. I dont believe it is a good sign of how the McColl group look at us as fans if this is their paper of choice for releasing their propaganda. It shows they are out ot touch on this issue with the average Bear.

 

If Paul Murray wasn't involved in the McColl group I would be 100% behind them BTW, but that is now 2 mistakes in my book that McColl has made. One in backing a failed former Director whose dirty tricks campaign during the first half of 2012 was disgusting and totally not Rangers class, and two in going to the one newspaper that Rangers fans cannot trust for impartial news about our club. 2 major mistakes nad he is not even anywhere near power yet. Doesnt bode well for any future where his group will have control.

Both papers are still selling more than double their nearest competitor (The Daily Mail)

If the stakeholders combined can't afford £60,000 to put a definitive end to this ASAP, then we are well and truly buggered.

As much as I'd like that to be true the facts don't back it up. Bears buy the Record just as they always have done. It's us of the online community who are out of touch with the everyday fan, I think.

 

I also think that those of us who are getting het up about the Record or Paul Murray are to a degree looking to be annoyed. Someone earlier on again accused McColl of shouting his mouth off, when the reverse is more accurate; having come to a compromise with the board, and then seeing that board's feeble attempt at shit stirring, he was obliged to respond. Failure to do so would have people worried about lack of transparency.

That's just the Scottish circulation too! IIRC the figures from 2 years back stated that you could add somewhere between 40,000 & 50,000 copies to the Record's average figure for circulation outwith Scotland, which at the time took it up over the 300k mark. Obviously it's dropped a bit in the past two years though.

The guys I go to Ibrox with get all of their information from the Record, Clyde and BBC and they are staunch. They know nothing of the majority of things that are discussed on here and are probably mentally more stable as a result

 

If anyone wants to get a message out to Rangers fans then you will find the majority reading the Record, or listening to Clyde or watching the BBC, whether we like it or not.
