buster. 4,808 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 if the truth be told too many put their faith in so-called networth 'Rangers Men' who aren't/weren't prepared to buy the club There is a complicated narrative, in which I think we all share varying degrees of responsibility. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That's just not true. We queued for hours for season tickets, we marched on Hampden. Did those people not fight? We just weren't equipped to deal with corporate liars and conmen. We were the victims of a fraud when Whyte took over, and it's been a stitch up since then. What would you have had us do? I would have had you say "not a penny more" but that wasn't my place, that was a purely personal decision for you to take. The alarm bells were going off prior to Whyte getting his hands on the club, and have done so incessantly since then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we had all been as astute as yourself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I have no faith in the current RST set-up being able to do anything worthwhile, I agree with the point you made. Alas, it will NEVER stop the likes of Rab and whoever is working his buttons. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was a club elsewhere the directors would have been forcibly removed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Poor us. If this was a club elsewhere the directors would have been forcibly removed. Yes but they would be stabbing each other up and down the Gallowgate instead of trading insults on fans forums. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 851 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 To secure the club - forever - we have to own it. How many wanted fan ownership at Rangers? It was much easier to wish and hope for a sugar daddy - and we have paid a colossal price for our negligence. Buying a season ticket isn't an expression of fight and the march to Hampden was all that was left to do for a support that hadn't the foggiest idea how to address a situation that it never prepared for because it never saw it coming. So is your argument that if you didn't campaign for fan ownership you don't deserve a football club? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
