WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Reading over Mr Glib&Shameless' latest outburst there and was struck by the fact that he appears to have shifted from being the saviour with copious personal cash that the berrz were hoping for, to a bloke waiting to see how many others stump up lumps of unwanted cash before adding just enough of his own to be the controlling stakeholder? A stakeholder who has publicly stated his willingness, no, intention to spend excessively to achieve past glories. A proven path to extinction? Not a surprise to all outside the madhouse of course but surely even the fawning apologists can now see his great plan/scheme/scam is utter baws. Or am I putting credit where it's not due...? (See what I did there? ) EDIT: removal of one smiley for gravitas.... Thanks, GR. I've been searching for the mots justes to describe the plans Mr G&S has been spouting - and indeed the responses from the Kraydales et al. "Utter baws" it is. Shame there's a "Global Family" too thick to know when they're being rubber-dicked again (and again, and again...). You'd think someone would tell the poor wee berrz that some of these businessmen might not be telling the whole truth when talking about their goals... Oh, that's right. We did. Diddy fantasies, and 'tic wet dreams were the order of the day. I particularly recommend the protest over the BBC's Whyte Documentary as good for a chuckle. Or the history still easily visible on blades forums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See what I did there? ) EDIT: removal of one smiley for gravitas.... I love the arrogance of the man.... this is just a rangers fan, a rangers fan though, who played a major part of the old club dying. He holds no shares in the new club (afaik), neither does he own a season ticket (afaik). He is a convicted criminal, a "glib and shameless liar", however, he is held up by the press and fans as "he who would be king". He has gone from self proclaimed mediator, to the guy who will plough 30 million or more (if required) back to someone who will not invest and would rather someone else did. but if he does invest, it will be ring fenced for the team. i love this question... "Does the board agree that in the latter half of December 2013 it was in discussions to obtain finance that would be needed prior to the end of the current season? He's already told us it was him, but the club wouldn't accept King's terms, that his money would only be used on the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One assumes that each tranche of the contract will be payable at the END of each season ....just in case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingrodent Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Total facepalm moment on sportscene on Sat night when the presenter announced that Rangers don't speak to the BBC. Bunch of weans. Even more hilarious when you remember that the reason why Rangers don't speak to the BBC is that the BBC are the only media organisation that they can publicly snub without getting a long-running and poisonous press vandetta in response. IIRC the Beeb are banned for reporting exactly the same story that all the tabloids reported, in a far less lurid and sensational way. But Rangers couldn't ban the Sun for reporting that story, because the Sun would've spent the next year running headlines like "Clueless Ally - too stupid to manage football team?" and "Shyster spivs rob Rangers fans blind". The BBC can't run headlines like that, due to their guidelines, which is why they're banned, and the tabloids aren't. Hilariously, this act of utter cowardice was wildly popular with a certain section of Rangers support.

You can just smell the raw dignity pishing off the boy, can't you? Also, on the tabloids and the Beeb - the Sun and the Record are more than willing to run ludicrous propaganda puff-pieces about hover-pitches and orange taps that they know are nonsense, in exchange for future favours. The BBC aren't allowed to do that and so amazingly, when a story comes out that the Rangers board don't like, it's the BBC that gets banned while all is forgiven for the red-tops. Obviously, this is "acting on principle", an act of ferocious courage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John..You're Immortal Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It appears that 32Red also sponsor Crawley Town and Newport County. Sevco's deal rumoured to be a thumping 350K per year. Big club ma erse. On the plus side, that'll cover Ally's wages for at least 6 months. And maybe, just maybe, they can pay off that frigging face painter at last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenockRover Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Berrz are a buzzin' "denyaToday, 02:36 AM Good news. I doubt the board would have went with a deal thats worse than the one we currently have, the article stated multi-million pound deal soI would say it's better and at the worst then the same as we already are on at 800k a season. At least the board aren't sitting on their hands and are being proactive about the sponsorship situation." ".....Multi-million...." :lol: Edited April 14, 2014 by GreenockRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John..You're Immortal Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) If any positive can be taken from Rangers' woes at least their support can show they have moved on from most peoples' perception of them being arrogant; stuck in the past in terms of bile and bigotry and most importantly given up their hilarious tendency to attempt to bully and intimidate 'non-compliants' Oh hang on......... Rangers Media: GOAT, on 12 April 2014 - 09:00 PM, said: Heard the Billy Boys getting belted out as I came through the turnstile, thought it was going to be a good day, never heard it again, even heard it shhh'd when a group tried to sing it, our support are turning into fucking pussies. f**k it, let's no renew season ticket's until they bring back The Billy Boys!

ayenaebother Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Not sure about this deal to be honest,the fact that they aren't boasting about how much it's worth gives me the feeling it's worth significantly less than the current deal..... black on red, could be trouble!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Not sure about this deal to be honest,the fact that they aren't boasting about how much it's worth gives me the feeling it's worth significantly less than the current deal..... black on red, could be trouble!!!!! After the Adidas and Dallas Cowboys deals fell through, and the refusal to reveal how much the Puma and Blackthorn deals are worth. I think it's safe to say they are not earning much from the commercial side since the relaunch in the 3rd division 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sevco's deal rumoured to be a thumping 350K per year. If that's the case then the shirt sponsorship just covers Ian Black's salary and no more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the above clubs have had to take out Wonga style loans in order to make it to the end of the season/ST renewal date.
