I can’t tell you how many statements I’ve read from those trying to bring down Newco Rangers (bonne chance) but not one comes near to approaching the key question: what can they offer the the men and women who own shares in Newco to convince them to accommodate their future aspirations?
Threats, intimidation and blackmail are all possible incentives, but no one has actually put a case forward which would compensate the investment made by the shareholders who, let’s remember, own all club assets.
An enormous assumption appears to have been made that hedge funds and various Easdales will capitulate and simply walk away and sign their paid-for assets over to a group who are regularly abusive towards them. It’s like 2012 all over again, when parts of the world assumed HMRC would capitulate and agree to a CVA for Oldco, despite all genuine evidence (i.e. published policy) indicating otherwise.
Game Theorists would have a ball with this scenario. Shareholders are being offered a choice, hand over your assets to a hostile opponent or attempt to continue with a vastly reduced business. The former option should not be taken seriously.
Question is, where does this particular game end? It’ll not be in an outcome satisfactory to many of those dreaming of ‘competing with Celtic’ anytime soon.
This mind-set should be familiar. It’s the same one which blamed Celtic, or small-minded small clubs, the SPL and/or SFA, blamed anyone, in fact, apart from those who endorsed years of overspend at Rangers, for their eventual demise.
Walking headlong into unsustainable debt is no different than walking headlong into a conflict with hedge funds who would sell your valued acre for landfill rather than be held to ransom.
I’ll renew my season tickets tonight (still annoyed I didn’t do so in time for the free ticket draw). Whatever happens in the wider scheme of Scottish football, one club will be supported ‘through and through’.

Aye but what pub?
Can’t believe Christmas has turned up so soon after Easter.
Good Friday 2 is tomorrow.
One of 2 things have a very positive chance of ocurring:
1) the zombies will be dragged back intot he grave, officially.
2) The Whispering Connery Tribute Act will take the walk of shame, conveniently for him blaming all on the budget/board/boogie/Neil Lennon…
Oh, happy schadenfreude days. Well worth the decades of waiting.

Thanks,mate. I was caught napping.
Literally. It’s that Thursday feeling when my shifts seem to run into each other.
Of course all this uncertainty about effects of the ole fragility on the unveiling of the kris Boyd – Lionel messi dream team won’t be helping sell season tix down govan way.
Awe_naw
Does this “dumbing down” include misspelling??
The proprietor of the bar was speaking to me today on the phone. He said he is looking forward to having CQN bhoys in his bar. He has promised a good time and is going to work the shift himself as he want to join in the experience with us.
Ha ha, Rodger Hunnah, hook line and sinker.
Simon Bates’ Our Tune at the end just for effect. (Showin ma age here)
I wonder what rules will be broken or rewrote or just not exist to appease the zombie hoards this time.Just let them cease to be, never ever again allowed to surface and bring their bile to our shores again.

If that is all your interested in then no.
Unless its personal pronoun abuse of course.

How can you, in all honestly, state that Phil “got it wrong” ……. In all fairness, could anyone get it right ALL THE TIME on this……..Phil has been a revelation throughout all this shoite ….. thank God he was ‘in our camp’ ……….. Ghuys like Phil, Auldheid and Paul67 are true Celts

Not a surprise that some old names appeared on the blog today after an abscence of two years and two months. I wonder why. The dumbing down of the blog does not help
I hope you were not referring to me as I used to come on here all the time but have not been on for a while. Still lurk and occasionally post, glad to see that some other tims have taken up the baton and lowered the standard since I stopped posting so much… eh wait a minute..
The ole Tim on SSB even managed to interrupt like an Orc.

Lionel Messi?
Ffs,Boyd would have him for breakfast…

‘Course it’s not. Just kidding. Juxtaposition plays a big role in humour, as does someone setting themselves up for a fall, as I’ve probably just done! Spell check now on permanently!

I agree with you but of late Phil’s predictions of the imminent demise has not come to pass of late. As I say I cannot disagree with your bit about glad Phil, Paul 67, Auldheid et al being in our camp and may they continue to be…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

We’ll have no trouble in there anyway but I understand why we can’t just post the venue name on here. My better half is working night-shift on the Friday. So I will be out-of-control.

First of all, I think I asked you at least two times on different occasion to scroll past my comments and ignore them. If I said a lie, Okay you could prove that I’m the liar, said something that puts you or yours in bad light. My polite request would not count in that case. Can’t see the gentleman doing otherwise on occasion like after my post of today. Your person probably shows how big difference is between the gentleman and the Communist, and that second example for this is that difference between Zenith and Nadir.
You again start your private war against me because I said something about the Communists that does not suit your agenda. “Go home, Jews” in 1956 was the Communists motto and that was why those who survived Holocaust left Poland before or after 1956. This is not my view, this is fact. If you don’t know this, go and learn.
Here is my ling for you that shows the level of anti-Semitism in Poland. The results differ much from those from your article. http://wyborcza.pl/1,75478,14636649,Polacy_antysemici__Ilu_ich_jest_.html
I think I read EU statistics where Poland was in the middle of the table, and France was top of it.
Ah, Ernie Lynch, you were so quick with your private war against me again. You posted link that had nothing to do with my conversation with the other posters.
My third polite request. Can’t you ignore my posts? Thanks God you have keyboard not the gun. Your bitter character shows you have chosen good nickname. Would you hesitate to pull the trigger to eliminate the boy who stolen piece of bread. Did you read that story?
winning captains – I was surprised by you last post – a kind of “let bgones be bygones”.
You are way too kind.
They have won two successive leagues, yes.
However, they have massively overspent compared with the well-run clubs in each of those leagues.
Overspent money they don’t have – remind you of anything?
In fact, they shouldn’t even have been in the leagues in the first place…
As for losing the bigot section of their support – dream on.
As I say, way too kind.
For me, the Third Lanark solution would be ideal.
You, CQN, CFC, the SFA, the Scottish media, the teddy bears, Alex Salmond et al better get used to it…
… they are NO MORE.

Best thing read today is the trust statement about the mismanagement of the club THE LAST 2 YRS. What, its a wee bit longer than that unless you are only talkin bout the new club. Also as an aside, surely the easedale boy broke some sort of record for amount of times the word loyal used in an interview
