Former Rangers player, John Brown, spoke to Sky Sports this morning outside Ibrox and launched a takeover bid for the former club’s assets. Yesterday he resigned as a scout for the company before urging Rangers fans not to renew their season tickets.
In an interview reminiscent of a memorable scene from Blazing Saddles, Brown told Sky:
“If [the fans]invest, we’ll setup a bank account that all the season ticket money can go in there, and we can guarantee that we will buy this club over from this regime because it’s coming back into Rangers hands.
“Gone are the days, of the, the money that we spent. It’s going to be handled differently this time. The fans are going to buy it over. We have the backing from powerful people who are going to invest, but the fans will invest, and they’ll offer Charles Green, if he says he’s got the title deeds in his name, we’ll make an offer, once we see the hidden letters, any deeds that have been done in the past, if there’s any stumbling blocks, where’s Ticketus in all this, we’ll deal with that, once we see the title deeds, of this stadium, that I was proud to play for, in a number of years through nine-in-a-row, and we’re going to get our club back, but we need a bit of honesty from Charles Green.”
Reports that after hearing Brown, Charlie Nicholas is worried for his analyst position with the broadcaster, have not been confirmed.

What powerful person would let john brown head up the consortium?
next to brown Danny McGrain sounds like Jeremy Paxman
A prediction from Exiled Bhoys Alamanac, to be known as the Second Book of Exodus.
In season 2012-13 there will be
No Huns in the SPL, or at least not wearing a blue jersey, sadly there will still be the requisite number wearing black
No Huns in the SFL, since nobody likes them as the song correctly goes, and nobody wants them in their midden
There will however be lots of Huns at the High Court arguing over the dead parrot, its cage, its running track and a bloody carpark!
Am also picking up the vibe that Stumbles Monnbeams the former Lord O this parish will also be getting himself a nice stripey suntan in his new Barlinnie home, although this one seems a wee bit further off than the rest

After reading the article,I have only one word to describe heided-the-ba’-once-too-often Brown’s words : gobbledygook.

Hey there, Peeple, I’m Johnny Brown
They say I’m the cutest hun in town
My talk is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the tims they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
I’m dressin’ sharp ‘n’ I’m
actin’ cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work ‘n’ maybe later I’ll date her
Oh God I am the Orange dream
I do not think I’m too extreme
An’ I’m a handsome sonofabitch
I’m gonna buy a good club ‘n’ be real rich
(get a good
get a good
get a good
get a good job)
Rangers liquidation
Came creepin’ all across the nation
I tell you Peeple I was not READY
When I f*****d this dyke by the name of Ally
She made a little speech then,
Aw, he tried to make me stay ken
She had my b**ls in a vice, but she left the d**k
I guess it’s still hooked on, but now I shoot too quick
Oh God I am the Orange dream
But now I smell like Vaseline
An’ I’m a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady…I don’t know which
(I wonder wonder wonder wonder)
So I went out ‘n’ bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I’m still kinda cute
Got a job doin’ Ranger promo
An’ none of the jocks can even tell I’m a homo
Eventually me ‘n’ a friend
Sorta drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
‘Long as I gets a little golden shower
Oh God I am the Orange dream
With a spindle up my b**t till it makes me scream
An’ I’ll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin’, “Thank you, Walter!”
Oh God, oh God, I’m so fantastic!
Thanks to Walter, I’m a sexual spastic
And my name is Johnny Brown
Watch me now, I’m goin down,
And my name is Johnny Brown
Watch me now, I’m goin down, etc.
(Heh! I knew you would be surprised)
In some way, I applaud John Brown.
He desparately wants to do something to save his club. That’s laudable in my view. It’s just a pity that he simply doesn’t know what to do.
Someone ought to put a kind arm round his shoulder.
A good High Blantyre man, der bomber.
What a great figurehead.

Maybe they could enter a 4v4 festival, 4 players, no goalkeeper required….
They’re nearly at the begging stage.
Right this has to stop I can’t take any more of this hilarity , why is it everyone who wants to buy the corpse of Rangers has no bank account or any concept of how to run a business in a conventional way. You now open a bank account register with the relvant authorites and pay your taxes.

The “Green” machine should sell the bricks back to those who have their names engraved on them, say a penny a brick……. roll up and spend yir last dime.

John Brown special one off appearance in the muppet show
Are the John Brown Massive marchin’ in step with, or contrary to, the Young Mental Sandy Jardine Team?
As the Scottish bard might have put it, such a parcel of Brogues in a nation!
Nothing to do with Celtic, but a nice story all the same.
SUNDERLAND star Craig Gardner became a family’s hero after a chance meeting with a toddler battling a rare disorder.
The Black Cats midfielder has offered to provide two-year-old Danyl Brough with special clinical equipment.
Danyl has Charge syndrome, which means he has a weak heart, is deaf, unable to eat solid food and has mobility problems.
But thanks to the footballer, Danyl’s family will be able to buy a special harness that will enable him to sit up straight.
Craig insisted on paying the £500 cost of the chair after meeting the family during lunch at Selfridges, in Birmingham – Craig’s home city.
Danyl’s mum Leanne, 29, of Staffordshire, said: “We were having lunch and Craig was sitting nearby. I didn’t even know who he was at first because I don’t watch football.
“He asked if there were any charities involved with Danyl’s care, and we said that there weren’t.”
The families swapped numbers and within days, Craig was in touch again, insisting he pay for the equipment.
Craig said: “They are such a lovely family and I thought if there was anything we could do then we should.”

Woooooooft
Bomber enters stage left and hiding under a large cape are ‘powerful people’. For all his incoherent rambling he has manged to raise 2 crucial issues that the MSM have been mute (not moot) on.
1. Ticketus – Where are they? (They must have been due on stage and missed their cue surely?) Good question… and if a loaded bomber can’t get that answered…….well…….. it looks bad. Bomber here’s my wee hint to help you out..Never mind ‘where are they?’ ask only……… who are they?
2. Title Deeds. Yes, Bomber clearly has bought a hoose before and he kens that when you buy a hoose paperwork called title deeds change hands. Good call. My wee hint on this one…… What about the floating charge? Is it depth or is it merely turd?
Keep charging bomber…. you’re scaring somebody……… surely.
Rumour: In true McCrummoch traditions, John Bomber Brown now wants to be known as Lancaster Wellington, head of the Powerful Peepil Consortium. Please make your cheques for season tickets payable to Lancaster Wellington and Associates PPC………. you know you want to.

on behalf of me , I would like to say thank you.
My wee boy asked me the other day if the BBC would be bringing out a special edition of “Only An Excuse” to commemorate recent events south of the river.
It’s been utter rubbish over the last few years but surely Jonathan Watson could oblige this request (even through gritted teeth).
There’s money to be made for the Fighting Fund Jonathan – surely enough material to cater for at least 10 programmes instead of the solitary one at Hogmanay.
Might be an idea to get Tony Roper back to add to the hilarity.
We just can’t get enough.
Heh Bomuur , Bomuur .. Gonnae no.. Gonnae no.. Naw jist .. Go nae no dae any maer in’urviews.. Jist Gonnae No. Yer. Jist maekin an erse as yersel’… Geezawpeece, eh ya daft Hun bawbag ye..

When the story broke that rangers were going to apply to play in England it was partially right. This is the FA they are applying to…
English FA
ah cannae stoap laffin
hahhahahahahahahaha

I was just musing similar thoughts last week. Only an Excuse will be a 6 hour epic this year.. If they can edit down..
Any jokes about Lenny / Celtic will be particularly lame..in comparison.
If they can’t make this one a classic, I’d say the programme has had its day..
And there comes Broon about to work up a number 6 on ol’ Green, where he go a-ridin’ into town, a-whompin’ and a-whumpin’ every livin’ thing that moves within an inch of its life
Wonder if he’s goin to the number 6 dance later on.

When will Brown send in Mongo to run Green out of town?

Brilliant VIdeo
Does Brown actually have a plan? Or does he just want to save them? Somehow, Anyhow.
Well done Craig Gardener- a very ‘Celtic like’ gesture.. !
Watched “Bomber’s” interview on Sky this morning. Together with Chloe Smith’s Paxman drubbing last night it has to be the most cringeworthy tv moment of this century.
The Berrs are not impressed by Brown’s efforts either. One, on the eloquent Rangers Media site, questioned whether John had partaken in some “Dutch Courage” before the interview.
I think Bomber and “The Goalie” (On Facebook talking nonsense last night) might have been putting the world to rights over a few beers. Nothing wrong with that. Done it many a time but try and avoid the Sky thingy next time John.
