bennett Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 If they didn't put their hands in their pockets to buy the assets at rock bottom when the old club went tits up they're hardly going to now. Aye i've often thought that a scheme similar to the Jambos where the fans pay money into a fund every month/year would maybe not solve the problem outright but go along way to helping out. Just one thing, when the club was at rock bottom those lovely chaps from D&P rejected a higher bid in favour of uncle Charlies. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aofjays Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 No qualification rounds for the sporting wing then? The sporting wing of the wee free's are banned from Europe at the moment. What are you on about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta to jg for this addition. £32 of which £8 goes to the rst leaving £24 Shirts can be picked up on eBay for £12 inc the Ac Milan ones that they plumped for, which leaves £12. So £12 for an iron on transfer badge. Or not. Oh, and Nike advising not to buy them Edited May 20, 2014 by Bing (2) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aofjays Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 errrrr.......... link? validation? proof?........ or yer usual pish......aye? Can't be bothered looking it up but he's right for a change. Taking numbers strictly from my arse it went roughly as follows: Green offered 5million CVA, 4 million in a liquidation sell off (Maybe not a spiv) offered 4 million for a CVA and 7 million for liquidation sale. Somehow D&P decided that after making White proffered bidder for the CVA (because he had the highest CVA offer) he would continue to be so after the CVA was rejected even though his liquidation offer was the lowest. One of the reasons it smelt like a stitch up from the start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one thing, when the club was at rock bottom those lovely chaps from D&P rejected a higher bid in favour of uncle Charlies. Would go, or would've gone , as you say that window of opportunity may have passed, a long, long way to solving a lot of problems imo. If only the Bears were behaving then as they are now things might be a bit rosier for them. Genuinely wasn't aware of that other offer (ta AoJ), although nothing would surprise you about possibly the worst football administration in history. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't seem to remember too many Bears being overly perturbed about Haudit and Daudit during the admin process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Maybe I'm overstating his importance due to my intense dislike of the guy, but I can't help but feel that a lot of the mindless ostrich behaviour of Rangers fans during the oldco's insolvency and afterwards stemmed from McCoist and his ridiculous public statements at the time. All ifs, buts and maybes, but you can't help but think if D&P had done their job and got rid of the overpaid management team on day 1 then things might have worked out a bit better. Were the Bears of a mindset that would have been open to severe and painful cuts at that time though? I'm doubtful, unbelievably many of them still aren't now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the Bears of a mindset that would have been open to severe and painful cuts at that time though? I'm doubtful, unbelievably many of them still aren't now. Tbh in the 3rd division the cuts needn't have been that painful, even the players we signed could have signed for a fraction of what they were signed for. Still we could have had a playing budget of a few hundred thousand and the crooks would have just have taken more money out. What Rangers needed was a board who were there for the good of club, talk of playing cuts are pretty pointless when the board are skimming off everything they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nobody likes us, we get slightly upset That was quite an enjoyable read. I especially like the "There is a reason we sing 'you're only hear to see the Rangers'." Oh and this thread saved "Pish and Bovril". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
