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’.

Evening folks.
I’ll be running the quiz about 9:15 tomorrow evening. All welcome Parecepta won last week’s showdown.
After last week’s competition I’d asked if the Blog wanted a quiz, and invited comments .
For example is the quiz too difficult or easy; does Friday suit etc ?
Any comment or criticism invited……..you can post comments or Email me on paul_mca@yahoo.co.uk

That’s only in Ayrshire!
The rest of the 500m will force them to see the error of their ways.
IMO,a ‘nice’ Rangers rising from the ashes was never on the cards.
Or in their DNA.

The final is in Turin. Munich had CL final for Bayern, Wembley for Man U recently…Should we not be putting Parkhead forward for a Euro final?!

Thought I’d have a go at the survey and got to question 8 and I thought “f this for a game of sojirs”. They don’t get it.
8. Which of the following factors motivate you to attend football games? (tick all that apply)
Back Room Factor: Any factor amenable to management control that contributes to the overall experience this includes parking and ease of getting a seat.
Emotional Arousal Factor: The arousal of spectator’s emotions includes variables such as whether the sports event was found to be astonishing or stirring.
True Fan Factor: Attendees for whom the enjoyment of the game itself is most important. They are interested in the competitive nature of the event, the process the outcomes and the performance of the team or individual that they support.
Front Room Factor: Facilities or elements of the event experience that are under the control of management, which include food and drink facilities and general cleanliness.
Social Factor: The Social Factor considers the importance of friends and family in the enjoyment of the event.
Alternative Options: Attendance being influenced by whether the game is to be broadcast on television and the success of the team.

It’s hard to criticise phils predictions.
Predicting the end of a club like in this instance is a bit like a doctor giving a time scale to a terminally Ill patient…..the days, minutes and seconds might not be precise but the outcome will be exact.

Kind people do what they are asked for. As I said, I asked you few times to ignore my posts. The freedom of this place always meant to me that people do converse with those with who they wish to converse , and they have right to chose do not converse with those with who they don’t want to. You attacked me few times, when you were not involved in my conversations with other posters.
As I said, I asked you few times to ignore my posts.
Maybe you are attacking me because I’m f@@@ing refugee on this blog.

There isn’t a sufficient amount of good Huns to form any kind of proper football team
They have made no attempt to change …in fact they’ve embraced what they consider to be their history
WC,
So much rightness there. It’ll never catch on. The spivs (and the SFA & so many others) have pandered to the lowest common denominator among the deid team’s support and rooked them big time. The deid team will die another day.
Dexter,
Chelski won when the final was in bayerns ain patch.
But I wouldn’t be adverse to a wee final a paradise;)
Zbyszek:
Forget about that guy. As far as I can tell he is a know it all and a jerk to most people on this board.
And I never post, just fed up reading the guy’s self righteous, never in the wrong, screeds.
Hail Hail
Today I read this:
“It doesn’t matter who’s running the club or who wants to run the club… the main thing is the loyal supporters need to come out, by a man, and stand by the club.”
Who said it?
David Murray, Craig Whyte, Walter Smith, Sandy Jardine, Chuckles Green, BFDJ, Ally McCoist, an Easdale, Chick Young, Alex Salmond, or A.N. Other ?
Paul67 & Phil are journoes. Old Firm journoes. So open to legitimate criticism. Since the 5 way agreement it has been deserved.

Ole Julio Iglesias releases his new single, Novate the novation.
The image of Ibrox as a landfill site, as is suggested in the lead article, had me laughing. I thought Tesco was bad enough.
Please, please let me be there the day that the main stand is knocked down as I want some of that brick facade as a souvenir. Or maybe just to be used as some hardcore….
RIP Sandy Jardine

No chance of any UEFA final at Celtic
CP is not a 5-star rated UEFA venue.
Hampdump is and has had two finals, 2002 CL and 2007 UEFA, since the £70m refit
£60m was spent on the South Stand and VIP facilities
