Who would you like us to sign, Big Berk? Names.
0 -
We're internet bampots and we deal in absolutes.
Not worried yet. All sorts of players are still to be.released by their clubs. As long as we have 3 wide players, a left back and another option at cm we'll be sound. I bought my season ticket last week.

Got mine. Roll on the pedestrian nondescript friendlies!

Just cracking a wee funny there. He's in his 90s.I thought I was bad trying to get poor Tommy McLean out of retirement. What age is Ernie Till?
0 -
Ernie Till for meWe could go retro for the next manager. I prefer my managers to be the older variety, now that I'm heading the same way myself.

Given that, as mentioned, the current board has admitted it couldn't afford the players it signed:
Admin penalties are not intended to be a tariff that can be simply paid if you prefer not to adhere to the rules. They're supposed to be a deterrent, and to re-balance competitions that have been distorted by dishonesty or advantageous incompetence.
If the board dishonestly persists with the unaffordable policy then the transgression extends beyond simply entering admin and further sanctions would be required.

Best thing the People (sic) could do is form a new club, wait for the current incarnation to be liquidated and buy the stadium, start again in the Third. After all, if they were to pool their season ticket / other disposable money without the input of the Obvious Crook they'd be very powerful.
Instead what will happen is, faced with two terrible options, they'll just get angry and do nothing other than frothing whataboutery and the usual passivity.

It's interesting that the accounts show £5.5 million spent on "Purchase of the Club", whereas it was actually spent on purchasing the assets of the failed club/company - there was no club left to purchase.

This should have any sensible reader raising an eyebrow

Ach. It was always going to be the case that fans would tout Fox for punting, but I think he gives us something no one else does and he's anything but a passenger. Who would Fox punters want instead?
0 -
Fox should stay, and should start most weeks.

This is without doubt the most ridiculous post I have ever read on Pie and Bovril.
Bad time for me

Embarrassing booze post: I just watched the highlights and, while I may be very, very hungover, it didn't look like Robinson was trying to stop the goals. It's on TV, big betting markets etc. Perhaps I'm just very hungover.
EDIT: I won't remove this since it's quoted anyway but the room was spinning at the time, obviously it wasn't a sensible post. Not a serious accusation. Someone post a Billy Brown strugglin' picture please
EDIT 2: Watched again, got a hand to the first one - I was away with it, sorry all.

Ideas Club reports:
If the clubs are getting a wedge for the game being on TV, why not keep the price low-ish and/or subsidise travel for the tractor lickers? Make us look cool on TV and that.

He'll still drop off to get the ball but we'll have players who are inclined to run beyond him. I'm pleased with the signing, but wondered what will we do if Spence starts scoring?

40,000 of you chucking in £10 each home game to buy shares at 28p would give you 2.5% of the total company shares each game near enough. Your scheme has 2556 members. Two home games you would have the right to call a General Meeting....................4 home games you could get your own auditors in to check accounts..........................there's the inaction, waiting for Godot.
There it is.
Despite the humiliation of the last few days, I'm not sure than admin 1/2 is imminent, tbh.
They don't actually owe any money to anyone apart from "the club" to the holding company.
Surely a high interest loan/leaseback of assets, from one of their new shareholders is more likely?
They just need to cling on until April when they now have the climate to push through 25%+ increases in ST's "to save the club".
They owe weekly or monthly money to all their staff and contractors, though. The type of board members they have will really be revealed when 'soft loan' time comes around.

Apart from owing HMRC a 'reported' £150m, D&P were only going to sell to one group....
Doesn't make sense
It's not used as an excuse to do nothing, I've already stated that we have a scheme implemented to buy as many shares as possible over a period of time. So where is the inaction?. We are doing something but if the current board don't want to sell no one, not the support or anyone else can change anything in this respect. As for stating "a deluded sense of entitlement", that is nonsense, there are many Rangers fans who know exactly where the club is at the moment and don't see any sense of entitlement in being at the top of the game in Scotland, we realise the club has a long road ahead.
The inaction is on the part of 95% of the support who aren't taking part in the long, slow share scheme. And as has been pointed out, the time to organise and do something was when obvious chancer Charles Green was able to buy the old club's assets for very little. It was just assumed someone else would step in and provide.
There might be a good few of you who are more realistic about the grim reality, but nonetheless the majority expect a Big Man to step in and give them a successful club at great personal cost. I genuinely think people think they are contributing because they 'put their hands in their pocket' - but by and large they aren't contributors, they're just plain old customers. Totally passive in real terms, whatever din they might make on phone-ins or those grim side-columns in tabloids.
All of which makes 'we are the people' very, very funny

Fair play for replying.
I honestly think that, while true, is used as an excuse to do nothing. Other clubs' fans have managed to unite, despite differences, with successful results.
At the real heart of this inaction is a deluded sense of entitlement that other fanbases aren't hindered by.
Lol!

Could a Rangers fan explain why the supporters didn't try to pool their resources and buy the old club's assets? It would have cost £25-40 pfim (per fan in Manchester ). Also are there any moves to attempt it in the future, since they all seem to agree the board / major shareholders are mainly chancers or incompetent? Just interested (lol)

I'm not hurting in the slightest, you keep convincing yourself that I am though.
Sorry, I don't take the opinion of a semi-illiterate moron seriously.
I think it's fair to say this is the kind of thing we've popped in to see

I think BTC is definitely sustainable as a store of value, but as a currency it will surely be difficult to use while the price is so volatile. I bought a small amount at $90 and aim to sell 80% if it hits $5,000. I know it might never do so but I think, as it stands, there's a fair chance.
I'm puzzled by the QE analogy when its 'discovery' is intended to mirror precious metals.

The idea that the board, who continually plug gaps in cash flow with their own money, are ripping us off is laughable.
Big Berk, the constant negativity adds nothing so I was inviting you to make some constructive suggestions - not seen any yet though. 'Showing ambition' is a bit vague, but if you're suggesting spending more money I'd love to know where it's coming from. If that's not what you mean, what do you mean?
