Happy Buddie Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 He's a legend, isn't he? Small matters of forty grand not being remotely enough to achieve anything has nothing to do with that fact! This story has gone from immensely pleasing, to incredibly tedious, to finally over and now to downright funny. Psycho Broon was a scout, ffs. If he had any business nous, he would have been running one by now. To go from zero experience to having a business plan for a football league team, without runnng a non-league team or even a corner shop in between? It beggars belief. Not one effin clue. He seems to think that buying the club sorts everything out, and doesn't even realise that's the easiest 1% of the deal, no idea of the running costs and the required working capital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Is that Green's real plan for his end-game? Refuse to fully divulge investors, SFA refuse licence, then he blames SFA, Sevco don't start the season and he starts phoning estate agents to market a sports stadium, a car park and a 5-a-side venue. More likely that with a large wedge of his purchase price going to purchase player registrations, he actually thought he could circumvent TUPE employment legislation, and punt yer' Naismiths, McGregors and the rest for a nice wedge. Ooops. Fail. Obviously there must be a bob in it somewhere for the bricks and mortar of Minty Moonbeams Park and the stadium with Sandy's league title flags super-glued to the wall too. Whatever his plan was - it surely revolved around ££££ signs. He wasn't bargaining on an institution on its knees being papped to Div 3 with all sorts of nasty sanctions and penalties still applying... and perish the thought, he'd have to actually look like he's trying to run a football club rather than a short-term money making opportunity. If guys like Green, Bomber Brown, Brian Kennedy, Soccerball Bill, Sir Walter of Cardigan, or anyone else, were actually interested in saving Rangers the footballing institution, and sorting them out for the future - where were they hiding when Sir Minty ended up selling them to a spiv like Whyte for a quid. Nowhere. Edited July 18, 2012 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://www.dailyreco...86908-23909662/ THE SFL are braced for a bidding war for the rights to broadcast Rangers' Third Division reinvention. Record Sport understands Sky have already held talks with Peterhead, who host the Gers in their league opener at Balmoor on August 11. The Blue Toon have also been contacted by two rival broadcasters who have shown interest in the match. The opener has maximum interest but all potential broadcasters will have to go through the SFL's commercial representatives, IMG. No official talks have taken place but moves are afoot to provide coverage of the Ibrox newco's rebuilding mission. Balmoor chairman Rodger Morrison said: "It is fair to say there is interest. "I don't buy all this talk of Armageddon. There is a lot of people who want to see how Rangers will fare this season." Rodger Morrison's quot - "It is fair to say there is interest." DR interpretation of that quote - "There is a bidding war going on between 3 massive tv companies who want to be there at the start of the great and glorious rise from the ashes of a club they have tried to kill but still has a beating heart as strong as it's loyal support." I maybe paraphrasing a little. Is that a big juicy reconstruction carrot I see? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere. Again, if we actually had any sports journalists in Scotland, these are the questions Bomber and Cardigan should have been fielding daily until they changed their mobile numbers. OK, we already know the answers, but still, it would ahve been funny to see the lies the Cardigan consortium and co would have concocted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere. Aye, no doubt that was his plan "A", but as soon as TUPE failed he needed a plan "B", and with Div 1 being refused, a plan "C" to get out before the clusterf*ck that's left soaks up any more money, with SFA sanctions and carried-over fines pending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere. You're right. It's easy to look back with hindsight and think that things are heading toward a land sale that will net Green and co a fortune (which, given running costs and lack of enthusiasm for the assets, they probably aren't anyway), but almost no one here in Scotland saw this coming. EVen when Green was buying most assumed that rangers would, at very worst, be playing in SFL1 next year with relatively light sanctions dished up by a scared SFA. His plan was always to buy on the cheap and flog off the biggest name players but still get Rangers back to challenging in next to no time. Then, flog the club back to the punters and walk away with a tidy profit over the piece. It worked across the city for Fergus McCann after all. If almost no pundit, chairman or fan in Scotland could see SFL3 with hard sanctions for Rangers, how could outsiders? Who expected our authorities and those running the game to grow a pair after all these years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobardon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 No, who expected fans of so many clubs to cause a stooshie. No argument that's why they stood up to Rangers, but since when has fan power been remotely listened to by our chairmen? That's why no one saw this coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who expected our authorities and those running the game to grow a pair after all these years? Well, as I said right back when he challenged the transfer ban, it was obvious he wasn't planning for a SPL reincarnation, he almost planned for Div 1 as the ineveitable punishment. That's why he panicked on the ban, cos if he couldn't bring in cheap and cheerful, (which would have been OK to win Div 1, but he would have been out like a shot after say 10 games with the Gers on top of the league, and presenting a facade of success and prospective financial return) he couldn't let any of his golden eggs go, much as he wanted to, result....no quick buck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Dogma Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 How are they going to get into the Junior Leagues? Outright purchase? Assimilation (like the Borg)? Or start a new one.....but that would need a vacancy in a league. They just need to accept that what used to be is now gone.....but again, too deluded. . Fair point actually there doesn't seem to the willpower amongst the orcs to get even a junior AFC style club off the ground. Sunday league or welfare level maybe at best...ah well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
