Bookies Love Me Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) The only way I can see them going now is to become "feeder club" for some BIG team in the EPL (Cardiff or Swansea) or the European leagues (maybe a team from Moldova or Bosnia the Faroe Islands). Get a team full of up-and-coming youth Internationals on loan. That would be brilliant. To quote Martin Luther King: "I have a dream....."

Broken Algorithms Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sevco fans thinking that they have a given right to be competing with Celtic right away. Hilarious stuff, especially when they've still got a full league at least before they can even line up against them. That is if their club doesn't end up going thermonuclear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 In hindsight do you think that the press meant they could not locate his imaginary funds? That's what I thought. Wealth "off the scale" would, to me, mean too much to count. "Off the radar" means hidden from detection, in my book. Of course, knowing Whyte as we do now, it's more likely to be the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) A consensus on Ally ... no wonder we struggle to get a sensible debate with the majority of bears on here when you see the struggle they have getting a serious debate amongst themselves ... Ten pages and hardly any posts debating the pro and cons of Ally's ability as a manager .. Edit: Then this on fan ownership the "Pompey Way" !! And after five and a half years of turbulence, Portsmouth nestle in the depths of Tier 4.......................................... Surely that couldn't happen to The Rangers, could it? eta I see the ghostly Bing(2) is watching.

dave.j Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just to keep the conversation going and the giggle factor up, here's a nice wee thread about the Rangers/Puma deal... http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=264401 Some crackers in there... Can some timposters nip on and tell them that their strip isn't actually made by Puma, it comes from a warehouse in Liverpool that has a licence to use the Puma logo. It's not a Puma strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think he's pointing more to the fact that the performances are poor relative to the amount your team is spending. They can indeed be poor to watch at times, it was never going to be pretty down here but for Densboy to that we're struggling is laughable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The whole article .. some of the comments are priceless. Seems there are still a few daft Orcs that imagine King doesn't have a criminal record (not the Des O'Connor variety) ... they still imagine that 'pleaded guilty to 41 counts' , convicted and paid a fine to escape jail time means all charges were dropped ... they really are that dumb. Any guesses who came out with this dross .. Stunningly wrong, coupled with atrocious spelling might give it away. Link I guessed correctly before clicking the link , only the Polterfhud can be asked a question to pick either black or white and still come up with a grey area . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadSaint Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=264401 Some crackers in there... Can I pick 2 favourites So, Arsenal are a bigger club than us now... f**k sake, how the mighty have fallen. That's Arsenal "never out of the Champions League last 16 for 10 years, 5x Quarter finalists leading to 2 semi finals and once to the Final. Arsenal, £200 million in profit over the last decade and who just bought a player for £42.5 million Yes I believe they are. and It's almost at the point where the match is irrelevant and the balance sheet determines the team sheet and therefore the result.

hellbhoy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Where in any post has any Rangers fan stated they don't want to be entertained? First and foremost the result in any sport in this day and age is the priority, probably more so in football but allied to that as fans we want to see good football being played, at the moment in some games we don't see that with Rangers but as far as results go we aren't struggling. As for your remark about bettering Celtic, of course we have to better them to be successful, because if Rangers don't no another club is going to be capable of it. Seriously Youngsy ? , yer club is on the verge of a catastrophic financial collapse in the lower leagues of Scottish football and no one appears to want to touch it with a shitty stick because it losing a burn rate of cash at £1 million a month !. But instead of securing the ships finances and fielding a team that would compete to win the lower divisions with a board on modest wages & bonuses it's all about competing with a club that you won't be playing a competitive fixture against for over 18 months ?. This is the sort of stupid mentality from you and your fellow fans that is going to kill this incarnation of ra Gers !, you won't accept this club losing a few games in the lower divisions to succeed at a gradual pace. Instead there is a humungous pressure on the board at Ibrox to field a squad that could possibly beat Celtic in a cup run to feed the supports ego that they still support the best club in Scotland and forget the rest of the other clubs in Scotland because they don't matter. It's all about competing with Celtic because to the support that is all that it ever has been to them. Your post above just proves what you and your fellow bears actually think and want !, "WE MUST STOP CELTIC AT ALL COSTS TO STOP THEM REACHING 10 IN A ROW AND SURPASSING RANGERS TOP TIER TITLE HORDE SO YOU AND YER DIDDY FELLOW FANS CAN STILL BOAST ABOUT WORLD RECORDS AND BEING SCOTLAND'S MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB". Sad pathetic and tragic come to mind when Rangers fans only goal is ?. Rangers attitude in the fourth tier of football ?, we need a squad to be able to compete with Celtic in the cups. Rangers attitude in the new 1st division ?, we need a squad to be able to compete with Celtic in the cups. Rangers attitude in the Championship ?, we need a squad to be able to compete with Celtic in the cups. Even though The Clone Rangers aren't in any division to compete with Celtic, it is still all about Celtic.

BossHogg Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) What's even more interesting is that such a worldwide global brand with 500 million fans only shift 150,000 shirts per season (according to themselves) ... That's a very small percentage is it not ? I mean even 0.1% would mean 500,000 surely ?If only they were a Global brand and in the top 10 of shirt sales.. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2012/10/08/exclusive-manchester-united-and-real-madrid-top-global-shirt-sale-charts-081001/ A big club like Ajax in a small league like the Dutch league might expect to sell 100,000 shirts and probably fewer in most seasons. Celtic (a Nike club) are believed to be the biggest sellers among Scotlands clubs, with good year sales at the lower end of the top 10, ie: several hundred thousand per year, many of them overseas in North America, Canada and Australi Edited January 28, 2014 by BossHogg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got one thing bang on here, though - it's all about their former Business Partners. For the second time, the morons are going to pressure the "institution" to commit financial suicide for the sake of potential bragging rights in one of World Football's insignificant backwaters.

bennett Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I said they were struggling with their performances .... not results, which equates to being poor to watch .. you really are thick Bennett .. I used to thing it might have been an act ... but you've proved time and time again to be such a simpleton. Did you attend school or were you one of those kids that bunked off all the time?
