adundeemonkey Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Are the new players going to play for nothing? Exactly. They are talking about building a team that can compete at the top end of the Premiership the following season. To do that they will have to 'over-invest' which means in all likelihood spending more than last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Are the new players going to play for nothing? Nope, but they surely won't be stupid enough to hand out the sort of contracts that Ian Black, and John Daly and the like were on. Exactly. They are talking about building a team that can compete at the top end of the Premiership the following season. To do that they will have to 'over-invest' which means in all likelihood spending more than last season. They talk about a lot of things but the reality is they will not do that. The desperation in that season ticket letter tells you everything. They need the money to survive and will do anything to get the fans to buy the season tickets. There will no doubt be plenty of players who wanted to join but decided not to sign up thanks to the off field problems that big bad Mike is causing them.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 They will invent a reason why the promised investments couldn't in the end be made, and find a convenient scapegoat, probably Mike Ashley. And then pray for league reconstruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then pray for league reconstruction. No matter what they say or do, no matter who they blame, the cost of maintaining that big crumbling shithole of a stadium will ensure they are never the "institution" their predecessors were. Which pleases me greatly, as Ibrox is the sacred cow to end them all in the average berr's puddled wee brain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The Bigots Den seems quite confused between club and company today as they follow the general meeting. Dave King in London on "club" business today which is apparently sorting out something with a stock exchange - surely that's company business? The BBC live tweets that are being followed showed that the board answered a question about still paying McCoist by saying the company signed a contract and the company is honouring that contract. To which a prominent poster makes reference to paying McCoist not being in the clubs interest. Like all lies, give it enough time and the mask will slip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Do the Berrs have any idea where this £12m is going to be found? Yup. I found a tenner last night in the breast pocket of an old suit I was going to chuck out. If only 1.2 million of our global fanbase did the same we'd have a balanced budget. Edited to add: Just wait until we red up our settees. Messi could be Ibrox-bound Edited June 12, 2015 by The_Kincardine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Well that was an anti-climax. I should have known better than to rely on the ***s for entertainment. Always coming up short. It's the The Rangers way. I will now take a close season break. I have visited too many Sevco boards and feel dirty. I need to de-tox. Then re-tox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aofjays Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Oh dear. Lol. Kinky is pretending football fans are a protected group again. If you were as quick to criticise when Tedi is using rhymes to get past the word filter you might be a bit more convincing. Wait, are you one of those idiots that thinks it's only words on a certain list that are bigoted (in any context) and anything else is fair comment (in any context)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think matters not a jot. The issues about certain words and their 'rhyming' equivalent are down to Div and The Mods. I'd bet you money Tedi said nothing wrong. You'd not pay up, though, as you're a bit of a mean yin. Had I a choice I'd mildly admonish someone who called us 'currants' for trying to subvert the swear filter but attach a set of jump leads from the starter motor of a jumbo jet to the nadgers of anyone who called us 'currents'.

Homer Thompson Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 MASH no-show at Rangers EGMRangers fans reacted angrily after directors revealed sheriff officers personally served them at home with paper copies of a court injunction taken out by Sports Direct at the club’s extraordinary general meeting. Last Updated: 12/06/15 at 14:59 Post Comment Ibrox stadium There was also frustration as no representatives from MASH, Mike Ashley's holding company through which he holds his stakes in Newcastle United and Sports Direct, were in attendance at the meeting, despite calling it. Ashley was seeking an explanation as to why Rangers were de-listed from the AIM Stock Exchange and to demand immediate repayment of a £5m loan given to the club. On Thursday Ashley's Sports Direct were granted a court injunction preventing the release of confidential information about their retail deal with Rangers which directors had wished to discuss with around 500 shareholders in attendance. That restricted directors in the questions they could answer but director Paul Murray did reveal that the club hope to make an announcement regarding a manager early next week and said they were still confident that the club would be listed on the ISDX Stock Exchange. It was also revealed that a resolution will be proposed at the club AGM later in the year to remove voting rights of shareholders with interests in more than one club, with the SFA previously having fined Ashley over breach of dual ownership rules. Murray told the meeting: "MASH was asked if it would send a representative to today's meeting. No reply has been received on that point. "The board are surprised that having called a meeting they have not seen fit to attend and explain themselves. It would appear MASH sees no reason to explain its conduct." Murray chaired the meeting in place of club chairman Dave King, who was in London on "club business". Given the injunction served on them, Murray, fellow director John Gilligan and company secretary James Blair were forced to rebuff many of the questions they faced from shareholders but Gilligan told the meeting about directors being personally served with the injunctions to their homes on Thursday night, angering supporters. Voting took place on Mike Ashley’s resolution, with Rangers adding their own to the agenda, calling for the retail contracts with Sports Direct - which currently see 75 per cent of profits from shirt and merchandise sales go to Ashley - to be renegotiated. That figure would drop to 49 per cent if Rangers were to repay the cash they have borrowed from the billionaire, while the security he has taken over club assets like Murray Park and Gers' world-famous trademarks would also be returned. However, after advising shareholders to vote down Ashley's repayment demand, Gilligan informed the meeting that the board felt it was not in the current "best interests" of Rangers to hand the money back. Gilligan said: "It's an element of shareholder trust that we are looking for - we feel it's in the club's best interests to not repay the loan.” The results of the shareholder vote are expected to be announced on Monday. I have to say Im a little confused on the points the club added. If the EGM votes to renegotiate the SD contract what difference does that make? Surely the club already want to renegotiate but if SD say no, a shareholders vote isnt going to change that, is it? Secondly, how can it be legal to restrict the voting rights of shareholders? Isnt that the whole point of being a shareholder? Or is this something the club can do because it isnt listed anywhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
