Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 On you go. Form your new club. I may even come and watch sometimes when the big Rangers are away from home Perhaps when the 'big Rangers' have 5000 fans attending matches both clubs might meet in the same division. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 as said before not too sure Frankie would appreciate me posting ideas as such! put it this way we cannot sway MA we need to get on our side those who represent an equal force to Ashley and who he has need in. Personally while doing that I would attack his soft spot in his love for SD, with the clear demand he enters fair negotiations over merchandise etc. We don't need rid of him just him working to our benefit if that must be under duress then so be it. I'm sure Frankie wouldn't have a problem with realistic ideas. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hildy 0 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 On you go. Form your new club. I may even come and watch sometimes when the big Rangers are away from home A new club - and it would be a new club - would be followed by people who want a club of integrity to support, but they would want Rangers to get through this period and become a recognisable and trusted entity again. If there were two clubs to follow and the big one cleared the poison from its system, the wee one might become a feeder club to it. If Rangers remained what it has become - a club that many diehard Rangers fans will not support any more, at least a new seed would have been planted to be whatever it wanted to be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) will need a new motto as well. Well our current motto and many of our songs are ironic at best. Edited December 22, 2014 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy steel 0 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 "Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers" Let's stop all this nonsense about forming new clubs, shall we? There is only Rangers. Currently she is owned, de facto if not de jure, by Ashley - even more so in light of the failure of resolution 9. If we're serious about saving Rangers, we have to find ways of fighting him, not of running away. In 1 or 5 or 10 she'll be owned by someone else - but she's still the same club. There is no solace in those words. A prime example of Corporate Model of UK plc has the club by the balls, & no amount of rallying calls from another century is going to achieve anything. We have no recourse to law, nor public influence. We have no channels open which could 'bat' for us. We have a chronic PR problem. We have an in some ways out of date stadium which will become an increasing drain on scarce funds. We have extremely limited revenue generating options. We have competitors from across Europe and the world on our TV's daily and no means to compete with them. We have contemptuous fat cats and dimwitted simpletons comprising the board. We have tactically backward coaches training the team. We have a collapsed scouting system and what looks a lot like a youth system being choked of funding. No doubt I've left plenty out. These are not 'trials' not temporary, on the pitch 'failure'; these are the visible symptoms of a failed club. Struth's words have their place in the history of the club but taking them as a template for rescuing a 21st century business entity is not one of them. No doubt many in Pakistan would look to some rousing words from Jinnah in these times of crisis for that state but it won't actually do anything tangible to change things. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the day is done, there's little point in continuing to fight. I'm not sure I have completely convinced myself it is - probably still in denial - but I'm certainly leaning very much that way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
