Gotta be patient Dave. Takes a while to con people into spunking their own personal fortune on The Rangers' wet dreams of reflective glory. "Looking into the books and checking contracts" is merely corporate waffle for "trying to come up with a viable plan that won't make our public chest beating and bluffery look like the bullshit it really was" Buying time while they figure out what the actual f**k they do now they have the keys to the money pit at last.

Got that going on here too. The shop isn't closing. It's flogging of the USC stuff. But, as a marketing tool, puting up that type of signage fairly drives the footfall up.... B) -
Voluntary delisting (albeit from a regulation breach by way of no NOMAD) on AIM is highly likely IMO. Glib & Shameless has mentioned this as something he considers of "little consequence to him or the club". (Note careful use of the word CLUB). He expands on this by chucking in: "In a perfect world my personal preference would be not to be listed..." The tight (and costly) regulatory environment of the Markets clearly grates heavily against Kings' philosophy of using his(?) and more importantly, other peoples' money to persue some ego driven trip to become... well, quite, become WHAT exactly? The saviour of a scottish football club he (and a large number of it's supporter base) thinks should ALWAYS be the best ? Really Dave ? Really ? It's a sporting competition Dave, not a reflective statement of worth....... ah. The acute similarities between him and David Murray lead me to ask if they were ever seen in the same room at the same time, such is their fiscal symbiocity. The main difference being that, this time, there are NO friendly contacts within the now disgraced banks willing to lend a shell company ludricous amounts of cash that briefly glances off it's books before heading into the pockets of expensive marquee, trophy and title winning show ponies for the SPFL. So, if delisting occurs, Dave not only has to reach deep into his own (or his kids') pockets, he also has to convince private "investors" ( that word!) to stump up the kind of cash it takes to realise his personal remeniscenses of the "Rangers I grew up with...". Are there, I wonder, enough business owning individuals with such a strong personal leaning towards all things "Rangers" that they would be prepared to ante up the not insignificant amounts required to have Scottish Football dragged back to the duplicitous duopoly it used to be ? What would be their incentive ? Financial returns ? Business related tie ins? "The good of the club" ? Recognition amongst their folk ? And.... the BIG question... How much and how often ?? It worked for a while under David Murray and the bankers. Different field now.......

Lets All Laugh At Rangers Thread

Scenario: A man falls in the street and sprains his ankle. A car runs him over, causing severe injuries. He is transferred into an ambulance. On the way to hospital it crashes. He is the only survivor (just). The emergency services get him to hospital. A plane crashes onto it - his injuries are now critical. The operation to save him is a success. He then finds out that the blood used in the op is infected with HIV. It's all Celtics' fault. -

Fair point Staggie. Not my intention to appear sexist at all. Guess it's all down to interpretation, however, in this day and age I'm prepared to also concede that there will indeed be female supporters dragging their hubby's to matches as much as the other way around. I'll even go further and suggest that there will, probably, even be some gay/lesbian fans dragging their partners along too. Nowt wrong with that. False or enforced display of unity was my point in that post you understand. Regardless of who brought who.

It's simply further evidence, not that it's needed, that they see themselves as "an institution" more than a football club. Dragging along the other half to "show unity and support of this great club". This type of psychosis is what motivates the mouth breathers and moon howlers amongst them to come out with their ridiculous banners and statements. Being made to sit through a 1-1 draw with the leagues' bottom club, watching football mercenaries (really shit ones at that) robbing the piggy bank of the last of its coppers and then looking across to the (delapidated) stands, knowing that the utter roasters waving politically centric banners and believing the statements they make (at a sports ground) are your principle revenue stream. Forever. No wonder they look like someone's vomited down their sash. They don't seem to realise it's their own vomit.
