Ned Nederlander

Loy was never going to be with us next season and to be fair I thought he'd have left us during the January window. He's a better player than it turns out some people think. All the best etc.

Fuxake - you arseholes have got your very own section of the forum to embarrass yourselves in! This section is for pointing-and-laughing at 'Rangers' in so please take the 'moronic' stuff away. I've always felt a degree of sympathy towards Old Firm fans, caught up in something that's simply not important.

Life is extremely simple for an Old Firm or 'Rangers' fan - simply counter any negative comment by pointing out something that the person making the comment has done wrong in their own past. Simple. Probably around the same level of moral development as your average five year old

Could someone PM me when all this tedious shit has finished. Thanks in advance.

I reckon Mr.C'nt already spent his evenings slowly rocking himself to sleep with depression - this thread could really push him over the edge!

Most clubs/companies don't publish a list of folk they considered for the job so I assume what actually happened was that McCoist applied for the job and was was given some sort of polite reply thanking him for his interest !? The fact that it's in the public domain (and spun somewhat) is down to McCoist's agent, especially with the added info regarding him actively seeking employment in England! And of course 'Rangers' short history is once again being re-written with McCoist's absolutely inept performance now being subheaded by the suggestion that 'ownership battles off-the-pitch' were to blame for him being shit!

Most of what's left of Scottish Football have survived for over 100 years without seeing hide-nor-hair of the Old Firm. Indeed, even when we were in the Top Flight the Old Firm combined were only worth around 1000 more bums on seats over the entire season than those terminal diddies Inverness and St Mirren were. And of course those matches cost less to police and steward. And let's not pretend that the diddies put their prices up when the Old Firm rumbled into town, Falkirk certainly didn't but the Old Firm themselves did ! The real irony with your post though is that Rangers enjoyed 40 odd thousand arses on seats for every single home game ... and still went tits-up

Charles Green in the background there

Complete and utter made-up pish about a road sign:

Remember Chuckles handing out cups of tea to ra peepul when they queued up to buy him a big hoose in France

Fuxake! We seem to be playing these c'nts all the time. Cue the usual slabberings from their dull humourless support about 'Baird' (even though he's cup-tied) and the 'mighty' Bairns ! I fancy us to go out with barely a whimper!

Serious question - why does our media fucking love Dave King ? Despite reading this thread fairly regularly I'm not all that au fait with Mr King - my understanding is that he claims to have lost a lot more than he actually did when the previous lot went tits-up, and, of course, there's all the tax fraud he paid millions to escape a very lengthy jail term for !? So why do they champion this chancer ahead of all the others ? Why do they feel the need to support certain characters ahead of others characters anyhoo ?

Anyhoo: A chap that I don't know well enough to determine his level of guffyness rather confidently told me the other day that most of the 'Rangers' player's contracts for next season are cancelled should 'Rangers' gain promotion but are honored should they fail (or it might have been the other way round but I don't remember ) Can anyone clarify ?

My FB feed is currently full of the stuff that reminds me I'd rather it had been the Green Bigots who'd gone tits-up.

"They need us. They need our money." Yip, he went there - 'Rangers' are keeping the rest of us in business don't cha know

Worth the recap: Rangers will be financially stronger than Celtic in a year, claims Charles Green "THE Ibrox club's supremo was bullish about Rangers' future after their opening vistory over Brechin City in the Ramsdens Cup. RANGERS owner Charles Green last night insisted the Ibrox club would be in a stronger financial position than Celtic in a year. The battered and bruised club began life as a newco with an edgy extra-time 2-1 Ramsdens Cup win at Brechin but the new chief executive was bullish about the club’s future and claimed within 12 months their balance sheet would be stronger than the SPL champions. Green said: “If you look at the balance sheets at the end of next season you should see the strength of the two companies. “We are in the Third Division and Celtic are in the SPL and what I’d like you to do is promise me at the end of this season, when all the games are played, examine the balance sheets of the clubs and tell me which one is the strongest? “Then let’s see who has got the strongest balance sheet. “We’ve not got the debt that any of these clubs have and on the last day of the season I would really enjoy some clever financial analyst looking at the balance sheets and debt-to-equity ratio of every club in Scotland.” Green revealed he will jet to London today to start the process of bringing £20-30million investment into the club by floating them on the stock exchange. He said: “We said we would raise between £20million and £30m but the reason we couldn’t put the season tickets on sale was the same reason we couldn’t go out and raise further money until we knew we had a football club that was going to be allowed to ply its trade. “That’s why we got that signed off on Friday and we have a meeting at 8.45am on Monday so we are hardly letting the grass grow under our feet. “This is the start of the process on Monday when we go to London to start the meeting with stockbrokers. “That is when the fans can take up ownership. They can buy into the club.” Green, who revealed the newco will change their name to “The Rangers Football Club” this week, said he had no intention of cashing in on Ibrox or Murray Park. The chief executive said: “Ibrox and Murray Park are owned by Sevco who will be changing its name to The Rangers Football Club. “All the assets are owned by the company and nobody is trying to do anything with the assets. Ibrox and Murray Park won’t be sold.”

I saw that, it was over in a flash and I admit I'm paraphrasing slightly but he says Scottish Football needs it 'cause "it makes it better" Quite an insightful and thoughtful take on the situation IMO .... he's certainly convinced me!

The journey from Sporting Integrity to Sports Direct!?

Could've been Saint's No 8 !?

Kenny Dalglish !? Kenny supported Rangers as a kid did he not !?

Aye - mind Chuckles standing on the Arbroath (?) pitch saying he'd like to see everyone else's balance sheets at the end of the season !! What a fucking clusterfuck

I think most of us realise that at some point there will be a team playing out of Ibrox who will be finishing near, and eventually at, the top of Scottish football and the posturing and swagger from the supporters of that team will blitz the arrogance that the built the levels of Shadenfreude that we're seeing just now. (Some will argue that no matter what 'Rangers' do their 'friends' will ensure that happens.) The irony is, of course,(and I'm sure it's not lost on you) that 'Rangers' could have come out of this absolutely stinking rich, with a young but experienced team ripping up the leagues and providing the foundation of a cracking squad for many many years to come. It's fucking hilarious from the outside that they didn't! This whole saga will haunt the club/company for the rest of it's days though and opposing supporters will gleefully remind you of them - it will never ever really go away
