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.
SCM = Same Club Myth
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?

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.

Glad to hear it, good player.

Reece Donaldson played the full 100 odd minutes the ref decided on today. He certainly looked the part today & hopefully will settle in fine. He deservedly picked up the sponsors man of the match award for his display.
Glad to hear it. Did he play left back?

Is it conceivable that the music could be 'sponsored', ie picked (curated, darling) at a cost, for each home game? I suppose someone would have to vet it for swearz etc and you could hardly have Micron - Modifications on, but there would be variety and a few £££

The bugler seems like a weird dream now, did it really happen? For ages????

If Stockbridge and McCoist get together they could take £1million of what remains in TRIFC's biscuit tin and wager it on TRIFC losing a few matches at big odds. That would cover all outgoings at the Sports Direct Arena and Murray Park including all wages and guarantee themselves much bigger bonuses.
This already happens

How much, per-fan-in-Manchester, would it have cost to buy the assets instead of letting Green get them?
If the fans don't even care enough to spend a hundred Daily Records' worth (spits) each, why would they get into a froth now?
And if they so vehemently demand Green goes, what do they want instead? Another Big Man to provide for them. Any other club - any - would have been taken back by its fans. Maybe no other clubs' fans have the same sense of entitlement and passivity.

It's been a long time since our peak achievements as a club and I've pretty much gotten used to relative mediocrity. I like just being able to go and support a team that is recognisably 'us' and has at least a few decent characters I'm happy to get behind. Ellises, McGurns, Pacquitos, whoever. Other times we sign guys like Kenny Black, Andy Tod, Joe Cardle and you think, ach. Sometimes there are players you don't really take to right away, but they stick around and show they care a lot and eventually have good memories of them playing, a few highs that they were part of. Supporting the Rovers loses something for me when it's just a different bunch of average journeyman every season. Surely Allan Walker has been at the club a relatively long time in modern terms? Admittedly for no good footballing reason, I'd rather hold on to someone like that than get in the next cast-off from somewhere else who'll be 2% better and stay 12 months.
FWIW I like Pat Clarke anaw.

Will sound a bit far fetched, but:
Pennies in 365 account, put half on Scotland HT Wales FT and half on 1-0 -> 1-2 HTFT ( I love an HTFT). 40/1 and 60/1.
From winnings a line on correct scores in SFL1 today, 5fold, singles and doubles. Got Morton 4-2 (40/1) and Rovers 2-1 (15/2) for a 300/1 double.
These things never happen to me!

If it works as a way for Celtic fans to endorse the stance of our board members last year then very good. I wouldn't want one personally, but I don't think it's aimed at us. If there was a Rangers-Rovers scarf I'd be spewing.

Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!

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.
