"Unless the money is from prostitution, drug dealing or child trafficking, then I’ll take the money." Hmm, tax exasion isn't on that list.....

and what a sound investment that proved to be!

You should have stopped here.

If you want to waste an hour of your life go ahead. The only reason I can see they brought one of the Kelly's onto the programme is to remind people that Celtic can f**k things up financially as well.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18417120 This has probably been posted before but deserve to be put again, especially this part, "The history of the club remains with the club, so the club moves from Rangers Plc into the new company and all of the titles and 140-year history will remain with the club. That was part of the two-stage process we set up with Charles Green all those weeks ago." If I read that correctly, they would still have the same name, stadium, players and history. Doesn't sound much like the death of a club. Unless..... #saynotonewco

This may have been mentioned before but i'm not going to rake through 40k of posts to see but have any Rangers fans groups thought of starting up a new fans run club? One free from the financial mismanagment and percieved social issues of the past. The most notable example of this recently would obviously be AFC Wimbledon. If I were a Rangers fan I wouldn't be happy to blindly follow the latest shower of money men promising the earth for the club but delivering very little.

......and if Rangers die?

What happened at Love Street on September 17th 1977?

Maybe they are hoping that the Euro will collaspe and it will be cheaper to go abroad than stay at home?

2 nuggets from the official Rangers website http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2803802 - A big friendly match in July against Le Harve http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2803655 - Some Friendly matches during the pre season training camp in Germany Anyone want to lay odds on any of this actually coming to fruition?

Maybe i've drifted into the wrong thread but what does Turkey's membership or lack thereof got to do with Ranger's current situation?

First Advert I saw on that page, Ireland 2012 Strip. That is a well targeted ad!

Great signing, i'm really pleased with this one. Lets hope he matches his form of this season. The only complaint would be the nickname, "Ginga Ninja", i'd prefer something like "Tank Thomson", some that represents what he is going to do to First Division defences with his attacking play up the wing.

Sounds a bit fishy, unless your name is Zuckerberg, who has £500 Million spare at the moment to waste on a football club?

In my mind I always remember him shooting from the half way line, a la Nayim. Then you watch the video and realise it was just outside the box, cracking strike though. Also of note from that video, A) Derek Johnstone, the worst tv presenter of all time and its no even close. What a balloon. B) The other scorer was Paul Browne. When we signed him Aston Villa wanted 500k for him before it was decided by a tribunial!

I do like that the first advert I saw was for Tesco online shopping, oh the Irony!

Another gem on the same thread "I have already done this , and along with no longer eating at McDonalds and not shopping at Tesco I hope they feel it. " I can imagine the bosses at McD's and Tesco being worried by this development.

Good to hear that McGurn is back.

"Get a life and stop the constant attacks on a football club. These are the most important days of this clubs history and all you can do is shed negative light on the club? Don’t go down the road of trying to gain credibility and look competent by attacking Rangers like your pals in the scottish media have done, they have no credibility whatsoever. They are known as bitter no-marks who’s pathetic obsession with a football club have destroyed any chance of them ever being taken seriously again. Soon, so will you. You might be getting followed on twitter and plenty “hits” but are they from anyone of importance or bitter celtic fans?. You’ll delete this, because you’re allowed freedom to attack us but we’re denied the freedom to take you to task for what you are." On that note here is a reponse to one of of Alex Thomson's blogs. Surely a wind up? The whole of the Scottish Media have ganged up with the defacto position that Rangers are too big to fail and Scottish football would die without them. Which Scottish journalist has attacked Rangers?

Aside from Alex Thomson i'm struggling to think of many others which have provided clear honest reporting.

Surely the more we can f**k up the SPL the better, I want to see clubs going bust, international attendances slashed, Liewell and Regan sent packing to the Job Centre for their presiding over the victimisation of Rangers. I want to see mayhem and anarchy in all its various insidious forms. For our own self respect and just for the joy of fucking this shower of flea infested *****s arseholes. The more we f**k this corrupt joke of a institution the better. Bring it on. I'll never attend an away game or an international agme in my life, and neither will any of my family. I find it amusing when I read stuff like this. It is people filled with their own self importance, who by making such sweeping statements must be a representative for their entire familty. Yeah right!

The SFA seem to have a "Close the stable door after the horse has bolted" attitude to Fit and Proper people.

A well thought out article, even the forum comments attatched to it are fairly reasonable.

Apologies if this has been posted before but once again Alex Thomson has posted another top piece of journalism. It seems it takes an English journalist to show all the Scottish ones what objective reporting is all about. http://blogs.channel4.com/alex-thomsons-view/big-bad-hoose/1461

Ditto Greece except the part about a new president. Wonder what will be resolved first, Rangers or Greece's financial woes?
