Rangersitis 0 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I could just about get my head around the merit of not giving a lump sum up front as long as people went game by game and at least the SOS have always advocated that. If they call for a full boycott though they're enemies of the club as far as i'm concerned. You're entitled to your opinion. Enjoy sitting there singing The Blue Sea Of Ibrox as the club has the life sucked out of it by individuals who have absolutely no idea of what Rangers means to people. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 this boils down very simply. if you ever want us to win a league again massive changes are needed including a board who are their to benefit rangers. it has to be obvious to everyone we will never get that while we fund the ****s. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 those who payed up front have given a license to ****ery imho. now we have little choice but to boycott because of those 22k 22k is still about 14k down, it's clear we're in the shite regardless but speeding up the process where people will lose their jobs and we lose 25 points when there's a chance of administration being avoided is just wrong, things are clearly going to come to a head regardless so King will have to make his move. That's not to mention denying the team support in what looks like being at least a two way challenge this year. I assume they'd recommend boycotting away games likes Hearts, Hibs, Raith, Falkirk as well then, or are we really at a stage where we don't fund our own club but hand thousands over to chairmen that did their best to kill/cripple us? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 this would of course help massively Our fans own (combined) around 13% of the club. Within that we have three fan ownership groups and countless other small blocs working against each other. It would be good to see the UoF be more constructive on that front - looking to achieve a short term bloc over over 5% and using that to show to possibly investors the fans can be worked with going forward. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairdyy 0 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That sound very much like the SNP's argument for a Yes vote. Not sure what SNP has to do with this. Anyway I'm just giving my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Murray sucked the life out of us for years so we should be well used to it, but you're deluded if you think cutting off the life support machine is somehow going to make things magically better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just an analogy, everything is so terrible right now so let's go for a nuclear option regardless of the risks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sure we all have our part to play but we also need something (or someone) to buy into. Look at Hearts. I mentioned the other day how SDM/Irvine had landscaped what would become a battlefield, with deep trenches for the divisions that they helped to sow and those that followed (with the help of the ever present Toxic Jack) would nuture with loving care. The effectiveness of this makes our support significantly different to Hearts. This has in part allowed a toxic situation to develop whereby we are within the claws of sp.ivs and trapped by 'onerous contracts' and more. So you have a 'battlefield' executively controlled by the 'dark forces' and a split, confused opposition at fan level. This and the scale make it very complicated for a Budge/Hearts type of proposal to work. The time for it was around 28 months ago. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again with the deflection to another situation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
