youngsy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Fitbawmad do you honestly believe that a football club owner such as David Murray who had such a substantial shareholding of a club the size of Rangers would have seriously listened to the support groups over EBTs, which were legal, irrespective of HMRCs opinion of them. Utter nonsense, the man had a dictator like attitude during his tenure of the club, no way would he have listened to the support. I read all this nonsense about the Rangers support could have done this and that on here, all well and good in hindsight but the reality is the support couldn't do anything of any real substance where the debt was concerned. That is the bottom line. Now all leave you all to your nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the bottom line. Now all leave you all to your nonsense. I'll tell you exactly what your fellow fans did when faced with the prospect of pulling in the purse strings and Rangers fielding a mediocre side when the MSM published it in their news years ago !, they drag out a pish stained bed sheet and then wrote on the rag "WE DESERVE BETTER". Rangers for them and most others especially those under 30 spend big to get wan up the tic and pulverise all the over opposition and get pumped in Europe every year. What Rangers don't do is make drastic cost cutting programs to put the club into financial safety but they did rely on European money to plug the financial canyon. Last season proved what Rangers fans want !, to spend more money on players to pump the opposition and run away with the league or they won't show up or buy season tickets. What your fans want Super Salary to do in January is to bring in better players so they can or could win one of the major cups. The fans show they don't actually care about the club because instead of wanting the clubs costs to come down they want someone to come in and then pump even more money down the drain, and your club is expected to lose as much money last year this year with all those one off costs mounting up. The Rangers fans don't actually care about the club but care more about victories over their rivals at any cost and boasting and bragging at how successful they think their club is or they won't show up eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BossHogg Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The sleazedale gangsters have pished all over the "real rangers men" Funny how these blue knights who claim to have the best business brains have been slapped down by lowlife crooks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngsy Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hell of a rant, Hellboy. If I'm correct that ' we deserve better ' stance took place v Falkirk at Ibrox in 2008/09. It was organised by the RST, an organisation that has and had at that time comparatively few members than the other support groups. The ' we deserve better' stance was shouted down by many of the support that day so please before you start a rant get it correct, the media showing a few photos of that wasn't telling the full picture of that day. Also perhaps you weren't aware that in 2004 Murray floated a rights issue of £51 million for all shareholders to take up, it failed leaving M.I.H. to underwrite to the tune of £50 million, so much for Rangers fans being led by Murray. As to stating that Rangers fans just want to spend money, you're very much deluded there, the vast majority are looking to see such vast amounts being paid out by the present and previous boards, spivs if you like,stopped. Hence the reason the vast majority want this board removed and replaced by some who hopefully will be more prudent with the finances. Although, you being the person you are no doubt you'll argue that one as well. Anyway, rant over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Youngsy, there's thread after thread in the OF forum going back years telling you guys Rangers were about to implode. Have a look at what you and others replied. You just could not believe you were all being conned, your superiority complexes made you try to belittle tye warnings and warnees. You still can't accept your club were killed off to dump debt and you wil all pump more money into the coffers of opportunisits through vanity. PLEASING. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Easdales are Rangers only chance. Whether people like them or not they are very good businessmen and a much better and safer option than the Rangers men Look at comparative monetary strength and success, They are the ones that put up the finance, Jolly Jim and co talked a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookies Love Me Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Good ol' Brian Stockbridge; hands back his measley £220k bonus to stay on "The Board". He knows he'll treble that bonus this year when they win League 1. It's just like putting it in a savings fund while collecting his wages by staying on "The Board". Waiting another 6 months is a small price to pay. "Honour amongst thieves" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky gamble I must admit I never took into consideration the 'gers going into admin, getting docked enough points to lose the league and the "fans" going into complete meltdown.

dave.j Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It's a common affliction within their echelons. It's also why they are so easily duped. Sad really. See Youngsy's post from 2011... Apparently 2 seasons of champions league money was going to right all the wrongs. Head in the sand, til it was all too late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let your blue tinted glasses or your own admittance that you don't give a shit what the rest of Scottish football thinks, get in the way tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarC Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Oh they are. If not all, them the vast majority are. Your 'club' is a joke. And from here to eternity will be looked upon as a joke club. They're not. A few people on here are. Most people in the world who have heard of Rangers don't see us as a joke, just a few on P&B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
