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.

BRILLIANT….. there must be a multitude of FZ songs, relating to thems.
Blazing saddles…. that’s just nasty.
Rangers don’t know all about their troubles apparently. This is like the MPs expense scandal where we had another new titbit of negativity every day for months. Superb. I see Fleckinho the boy wonder and Ortiz are now walking away, how long before fat sally joins the exodus? Or maybe not since there won’t be a queue of potential employers looking to sign a manager who turned a 15 point lead into a 20 odd point deficit despite not paying any tax for a year
Now tomorrow is the first day back at training at the moses mcneil academy of summer marching, let see who is turning up and when the other 19 players (some of them from the Euro 2012) are going to turn up to play in the third division. I guess that will be the headline tomorrow?
I guess Fridays headlines will say no one turned up
What doom is about to befall them on Saturday then, Ghod only knows.. Problem is that I just don’t have enough lanterns and fireworks to keep celebrating!
Carlsberg don’t do liquidations but if they did…

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…

Demanding that fans don’t buy season tickets. Is that a form of walking away?

No that is a new signing

==================
SUPERB :))))))))))))))
Brown and Green are joining forces for what the hope will lead to a purple patch for RangersNewco..
The new partnership will be known as Charlie Brown enterprise..
Brown is hoping the club can be rebuilt for Peanuts…
Browns lines up new bid with Jandy Sardine
Sardine: What do you want me to do, sir?
Brown: I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger in the west. Take this down.
[Sardine looks for a pen and paper while Brown talks]
Brown: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.
Sardine: [finding pen and paper] Could you repeat that, sir?
“The” Blazing Saddles FC
The author has the laughing at them part bang on! Nice to see that even when trying to be sensible they resort to threats of violence.
We would all love to have Rangers men running the club and supplying the dosh to keep us challenging for the title and Europe every season but the fact is none of the would be Rangers men stepped up with enough cash to do so thus allowing Green and co in.
Since then there have been mood swings in his favour then against him constantly with folk screaming “dont buy season tickets” etc. The latest uproar from everyone trying to point fingers is the fact the players are walking out and rejecting the transfer to the newco. How the hell is this Charles Greens fault? Not one player has said the reason they will not transfer over is because of Green. The man is being blamed for a situation that’s well out of his control!
The players have made their decisions based purely on financial reasons. Green cannot do anything yet he is being blamed for it with all this “they can’t trust him to take the club forward”, “the don’t believe he has the clubs best interest at heart” nonsense! The majority of the support seem to have turned against Green now and I see there’s a protest outside Ibrox tonight to demand answers ……. What f*** do we want? Do we really need Green to step over the door and say ” sorry guys, the players are money driven greedy ***** and have sold out on you”? I can see that’s the case already. The support have been brain washed by these scum piggery like supporters groups who will never rest until the have driven the unknown man out and replaced him with a ex ger of some kind! We need to be united and instead we’re in a tug of war with the man who offered the most to attempt to save us ……. Gratitude for you!
HMRC said no matter what the CVA offer was it would have been binned so its not as if he’s been at fault there, no one could match his offer! It was all pals until SWS walked in with an offer which wasn’t enough and was rejected, now its every avenue we can find to drive the man out!
IN AN IDEAL WORLD …SWS would have got the club but until people are prepared to accept that Green wanting more from what he sees as good business opportunity and some consortium comes up with the funds he wants then we need to stop starving the club of money and encouragement!
Ever thought the there could be a possiblity that the players want away because of the negativity from the support to the new owner? Maybe some just can’t be a**ed with The day to day running battles and the slowing of income into the club. Maybe they don’t see a bright future because Green will never be accepted and they can’t see how things will turn around. I still say its greed but they aren’t going to turn and say “my reason behind leaving is because thefans are constantly at war with the board and its creating a really bad work environment” they won’t come out against us because we could hunt them down and cause problems for them ……. I’m not saying this is the reason behind it ….. Money is for me but I don’t think it helps!
Demanding answers from Green regards players leaving for nothing will turn up nothing. Just another wet evening with the rest laughing at us as we squabble for some sort of power!
Oh no they don’t have a home
And their squad bring tears to their eyes
They’ve no leagues or cups
Craig Whyte MUCKED it up
It’s not even the 4th of July
Does Bomber still have a working gig with Barry Hughes ?

The thought of having to be named after a colour to become involved in this farce had me laughing out loudly.
Comment of the day so far.
ps Hopefully Mr Blond from reservoir dogs will be next, he will sort them out for Bomber.
Re the Prepak idea and the new company set up.
I must have misunderstood this idea. Why would Green have another company set up? Why would it help him to sell from one to another.
Disclaimer: the quote came from FF.
In fairness to Bomber.. You need tough talking leaders who have an aggressive approach…some of these Junior Teams are no push overs .
It’s a hard man ‘s game.. Not for the feint- hearted..
Gon yersel Bomber!
John Brown resigned as scout for Rangers yesterday!!

Fan Investment Model
Wednesday, 27 June 2012 12:57
The Rangers Supporters Trust today announces that it has been developing a vehicle which could ensure fans can be part of the club’s future. More details were due to be announced shortly.
In the interest of unity we shall be consulting with our sister fan organisations and those parties (such as John Brown’s consortium) who have the long-term interests of the club at heart before a formal launch.
The scheme we envisaged would enable supporters to join forces and purchase shares to create a bloc shareholding in the Club on behalf of fans.
We have been developing a model of fan investment in consultation with the relevant advisory bodies and tailoring it to the situation at Ibrox.
One example of such a scheme was produced by FC United of Manchester – http://fc-utd.co.uk/communityshares
We would also like to ask that all the current playing squad give the fans time to put a consortium in place whilst considering their future, we hope as many of them as possible will stay and become part of something historic as the world’s most successful club moves forward into a new era.
We are now in a position to call on Rangers fans from all areas of the Rangers Family with the requisite knowledge and experience to come forward to assist us in this task.
Just popping in and back out again as have business but could not leave without comment on this c**p. The brown stuff I know stinks!

Headline from Rangers News a few years ago before a game against Maccabi
“Rangers send Bomber to Isreal”
Simply the best or best at being simples.

Pretty sure our club stated months ago ‘We Dont Need No Stinkin Rangers’
Anyway, as a clever man once said “Which ever part of my club is dependent on rangers, I am willing to lose…”
