A couple of headlines to make you chuckle this wet, cold winter morning.................. McCoist wants to manage in the EPL but has no plans to abandon Rangers. Ally McCoist: Charles Green won't leave Rangers short of transfer cash. The first one gave me a fit of the giggles.

The first part is hilarious. Would these be the same fans that didn't believe what everyone else was telling them about Whyte? How long before they catch up and realise Green is taking them for a ride just like he did the Sheffield United fans? Man, you are soooooo funny. lol Yeah because if I want to listen to drunken rants, and paranoid fans then a radio chat show featuring OF fans pissing on each other is my idea of a relaxing couple of hours.

Are these the same youngsters that wouldn't have even had a sniff of the first team if OldCo hadn't gone tits up?

Can anyone explain to me why Ally needs tens of millions to spend on the team when we have been told for months that all these "starlets" that play for NewCo are the future of the club?

From the Daily Record in May. Some of it sounds familiar........... Green’s boasts yesterday about his track record in Sheffield seemed to contradict almost every other assessment of his time at the club. When he quit the club in 1998 he needed the police to escort him through a crowd of furious fans who were waiting for him in the car park. Green also insists he oversaw the most successful shares issue in the history of British football while others look back upon that deal as something of a badly botched job. One fans’ group even called on the Department of Trade and Industry to investigate the stock market flotation, believing documents sent to United’s shareholders were inaccurate and misleading. The issue was oversubscribed to the tune of £90m, as well, leaving supporters who missed out angry and disappointed. “So let’s be clear about the mess Sheffield United were in when I went. We floated the club on the stock market and it was the most successful club float in history. “We went out to raise £10m and raised £100m. We had to send £90m back to investors. “That month they couldn’t get all the shares away for the other clubs that were being floated at the time. If you want the detail, I haven’t got the time but we will set the record straight. “When I left United it was the only club in England with no debt, no borrowings, no overdraft and cash in the bank.” But Green’s decision to sell three strikers in one week wrecked his relationship with another manager, Nigel Spackman, and eventually saw him hounded out office. He said: “The straw that broke the camel’s back for me at United was selling Brian Deane to Benfica when Graeme Souness was their manager. “The fans loved Deane but his contract was up and he would have been a Bosman. I got £1.5m for him so if that’s not good business I don’t know what is. “I also sold Jan Aage Fjortoft and Gareth Taylor in the same week. The next day we played Ipswich at home and lost 1-0. The fans were not happy but I brought £4m into the club. “Back in 1996 that was a big pile of money to United.” (Actually, it was 1998.) So, same record, different team.

"Actually, I met Fergus McCann once, so I have been once. I met McCann when I was at Sheffield United and I went to buy Pierre van Hooijdonk, but we didn't buy him." I suppose what he said is technically true, however that isn't really the full story though, is it Chuck? The reason PVH didn't go to Sheffield was that Sheffield didnt want to pay the asking price and that the Sheffield manager's budget was tighter than speedos on a fatty. Sheffield United did enquire (NOT "went to buy") PVH but after being told how much Celtic were looking for they decided not to put an offer in. So I guess "we didn't buy him" is correct, but the choice of words used are calculated to make it sound as if Green decided PVH wasn't for them, not that they wouldn't pay the price. At the same time Sheffield United were offloading their best players (remember they also sold the best player when the manager was on holiday). A friend remembers at the time thinking that when he heard Sheffield were asking about PVH it seemed weird when it was obvious to him and his fellow SU supporters that the club didn't have the money. Green again showing that you have to look passed what he says and not to taking anything coming from him at face value.

"Rangers International Football Club plc (AIM:RFC), the holding company for the Scottish football club, was informed on 19th December 2012 that, on the same day, Phil Cartmell (Non-Executive Director) purchased 25,800 ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 76.5 pence. Pursuant to this transaction Phil Cartmell is interested in 25,800 Ordinary Shares representing 0.04% of the issued ordinary share capital."

For anyone that might like a wee look.......... NewCo share page

And this was the photo the record used for the article........

I would have said "if" but don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Can't believe I am going to agree with this. If he was anybody else that didn't have history at Ibrox (eg PLG) then he would have been hunted a long time ago. With him still being there and the look of confusion on his face when he can't turn a game around, it's only going to get harder and harder as they move up the leagues.

Ahhhhh the Daily Ranger headlines for today............. Rangers insist HMRC probe into investor is not club's problem. And Rangers attacked reports that they were in “fresh trouble” with HMRC. They said: “The Rangers Football Club have no outstanding issues with HMRC.” Meanwhile, a finance expert said the probe would have “little impact” on the club. He said: “The worst impact would be under fit and proper person SFA rules. That would simply mean a parting of the ways. Hehehehehehehehe. As for "parting of the ways" having "little impact", wouldn't that mean he would take his money with him? Ally McCoist: I'm the man carrying the can if Rangers suffer Scottish Cup exit. I wonder what his excuse will be this time if they get punted? Rangers star Ian Black: Third division is harder than SPL. The tears are still streaming down my face. lmfao. Rangers midfielder Ian Black: Some of the tackles in Div 3 would see you done for assault.. refs must clamp down on it. Thought he was meant to be some sort of hardman? Has he only just figured out that every player in the lower divisions want to show this p***k what a hard tackle really is? Ian son, if you are going to act the hardman then back it up or shutthefuckup. Wean.

Give it time. lol
