CityDave Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) It's alright, going by some posters in the Premiership forum, it seems you just pick a random member and I'm their alias. If it helps, I hold both Rangers and Celtic in equal contempt. If you read my post, I'm just 2nd guessing the reaction from some posters of that mindset, I think we had this conversation a few months ago on a Dundee related thread. It is quite possible to support a Juniors team without having a 'big team'. Back in the days when I supported a Highland League club and then later when ICT were in the lower leagues, I was asked ''Yes, but who do you really support?'' a lot. Probably best if you only venture in here once in a while, if you get exposed to this thread for too long it does crazy things to your brain.

williemillersmoustache Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I've not commented on this thread before (at least I don't think so, 6000+ pages is a bit much to check) but I just don't understand how Rangers can keep on doing this to themselves. If other teams with far less resources can run on an even keel why are Rangers so spectacularly bad at it? What do you expect from a business that claims it came out of liquidation. Sound business planning? I think a measure is also down to the utter contempt they hold their fanbase. Wave a shiny, shiny in their faces and they'll all come stomping back. T - 2 weeks before the orange top release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that this has happened and i admit this is a good thing for bears but, don't believe for a second that this is anything other than a sop at best or more likely a distraction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 SportsDirect have given up the naming rights after agreeing a marketing partnership. You can be guaranteed that it won't be detrimental to SportsDirect. I would guess that this "partnership" is made up of unequal partners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other teams with far less resources can run on an even keel why are Rangers so spectacularly bad at it? Seriously? What most people on here call "spivs", personally i think thats a stupid name but .... anyway you have a board which is awarding itself mega wages/bonuses and various fees, basically creaming the moneyor themselevss and not to mentionthose awesome onerous contracts. But you already knew that and were merely looking for dots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 B b b b b but we were told on here months ago that Rangers had accepted the Dundonians offer.... Philip said so .... JACKIE McNAMARA is desperate for Dundee United’s cash row with Rangers over Charlie Telfer to end. The clubs are locked in a stalemate over the Scotland youth star’s summer switch from Murray Park to Tannadice. Telfer has made four appearances for United – scoring in the 3-0 win over St Mirren earlier this month – while he made his one and only top-team appearance for Rangers as a sub in April. Under SPFL rules clubs can receive compensation for developing and training players under 23 who move as free agents. Rangers argue they are entitled to six years’ cash for the player between the age of 12 to 18. United, meanwhile, believe the Championship side should only receive money to cover two years since liquidation in 2012. Tannadice chairman Stephen Thompson was even claimed to have said “you’ve only got two years of history”. With both clubs unable to decide on a fee for the player the dispute will now be heard by an independent panel. And McNamara said: “For everybody it would be good if it was sorted, especially for young Charlie. He came in last week against St Mirren and he was excellent. “He was a bit unfortunate not to start the game at Motherwell on Friday but for all of us it would be good if we can get that resolved so we can move on. “There are all sorts of things come in to it, I’m not an expert on that. That will be up for the people in charge of the tribunal to decide.” -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No8. Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Tangerine strips you mean? Just like last time......? Nah they were Orange. Unless of course Holland are the Tangerine Men? It won't happen but i just had a wee thought there. If they do want to try and get the support onside they could always bring out an Orange strip for the Ricksen game and give the profit/ % of profit to Ricksens family and the charities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
