cyderspaceman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Did the female debt guru on Newsnight a few weeks ago not say that "The Rangers" could only be a temporary measure and that when BDO moved in, one of the first things they would have to do was get another name that did not associate itself with the old company, so it doesnt look like they will be able to use anything with Rangers in it I believe that is correct.

~~~ Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Brown will today seek talks with fans' groups.But he insisted: "Since no one from the Rangers regime has had the balls to do, as a former Hamilton and Dundee player I want to apologise on behalf of my club to the whole of Scottish football." About time someone from Rangers came out and apologise. If only they showed the same kind of humility from the start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ways this story can get better: 1. Sevco go into admin/liquidation. 2. Traynor and Young get the sack. 3. It is revealed that Craig Whyte acquired his pound from the Rangers Employee Benefit Trust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelegendthatis Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 To Rangers and Celtic fans. As a soldier on Call Kaye this morning said in connection with the Queen shaking hands with Martin McGuiness, it's time to move on, it's time to acknowledge past wrongs and move forward. He is 100% right. Whatever happens to what was Rangers, now is a chance to look at yourselves and ask is this hatred doing you any good? What is past is past, as you visit other clubs this season you'll have to put up with some stick. Take it on the chin and in good humour, in time it will pass and if your fans behave then you'll be accepted back into the fold. Celtic fans, if you drop the political Green Brigade stuff and temper your sense of superiority, then likewise. In time you will be more welcome in towns you visit. is it not a good time to drop the IRA or FTP nonsense and recognize we're all human beings who enjoy watching the sport of football? And if both clubs would be more welcoming of visitors then more will turn up to make a better atmosphere. TBH, the standard of treatment at Celtic Park and Ibrox is shocking. It's time to grow up. Some will be beyond saving, but over the course the decent fans can drown them out and it will disappear for good. Agree with the theory. But, but, but Rangers don't do moving on. Nor walking away. Nor humour. And definitely there is no chance of them surrendering. And as for the growing up bit I suspect that is just a step too far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Gringo Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just been asked my opinion on the situation by a Sevco-supporting client. I tried to make it as simple as possible, and said "They owe a lot of people a lot of money, and if they're not going to pay it they shouldn't be allowed to continue in any form". I was informed. "You're a bigot. It's a different form of bigotry, but you're all disgusting bigots". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelegendthatis Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I didn't know Mark Dingwall was gay ?! That is a scurrilous rumour put around by true Rangers supporters. He is a 'confirmed bachelor' though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Roth Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 From the SSN piece this morning - "I think this is just opportunism. We will definitely challenge it yes." When asked whether he expected more players to try and quit the club Green added: "I've learnt not to expect the expected at Rangers." Another cracking piece of doubletalk from CG. What's been unexpected from his point of view? Is he seriously trying to convince people that he didn't foresee every unfolding scenario? I'm actually beginning to feel a small tinge of sympathy for the buns out there. They're like bad snooker players just having to sit there and watch while their opponents clear the table. Utterly impotent, occasionally raising their eyes from the floor just long enough to realise it's still happening. This is becoming a slaughter. And then there's the forgotten victims of the whole debacle... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is it one of those by the end of midnight deadlines or 'before end of working day' ones? Just wondering so that I can plan ahead this weekend and make the mother of all parties Friday rather than Saturday. I hope it's not a Haudit & Daudit style deadline. Is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Indeed. And part of the problem is that Green seems to have tried to unilaterally transfer all of the contracts on 14th June, so I'd imagine there are no remaining ties to the oldco there. Yes. 'fraid I just do not understand that bit. (not your post) How could he transfer them if the rules don't allow it? It is just a big shambolic mess. And I'm luvin' it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Serious question SH, have you been to any Rangers games? I went to an old firm game at Hampden when Craig Moore scored a comical own goal, I was at the 2-3 game at Victoria Park and I also went to a game against Dortmund when Rangers contrived to play them off the park and win. I know what you are saying, the walk to Ibrox was horrendous, just the most awful swarm of violent bigots, but I still think they'll do a runner if the club/SFA/SFL forces them to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Apologies if posted already but we are all Turnbull Hutton "We have been inundated with emails from fans and season-ticket holders. People have said they are holding off on buying season tickets until they find out what is happening with Rangers situation and there are some strong opinions out there, with some supporters of 25 years saying they will not be back at Raith Rovers if we back the Rangers proposals. "With what is happening with the SPL clubs, it seems to have been punted on to the SFL clubs to solve the problem, a problem which is none of our doing. But, personally, my view was that I would have difficult supporting any move to put Rangers in the First Division given the history of what has happened. "This is the same Rangers whose supporters threatened to torch our stadium and whose manager demanded that one of our directors was named over his involvement with an SFA judicial panel, which resulted in TV cameras camping outside his door and threats being made by various outlandish factions. "We also had Sandy Jardine publicly calling for repercussions for those clubs who have not supported Rangers. Given that, how could I, as an individual, be expected to roll over and have my tummy tickled by some inducement to allow Rangers to come into the First Division? I gave my opinion to the board on Monday night and the board had a position which was not in any way different from my own. "That does not mean if and when there is a meeting of the SFL clubs and a vote that the outcome will go the way we want it to go. I imagine some clubs will see some short-term advantage to be had. "But if long-term you cheese off your season-ticket holders and supporters and backers is it worth it? Do you sell your position for 30 pieces of silver for some short-term advantage or take the moral high ground? From our point of view, there should be an application from Rangers to come into the SFL in the Third Division and that is something that would, I think, be supported by all league clubs."

I'd be amazed if Goian or Wallace ever play for Rangers again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
