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.

Celtic will simply reduce the wage bill by having a smaller squad than in recent years. The squad has been ridiculously bloated in the past few seasons and even if they were still in the SPL we needed to reduce it anyway. Less quantity, more quality and more chances for the players in our all conquering youth set up to get first team football in a less pressured environment.
A reduction in income doesn’t mean a reduction in quality and the article in the ET is just the usual scaremongering we’ve come to expect from the MSM.
The Despicable Seven starring Mr Brown, Mr White and Mr Green…the plot revolves around the town of Desolation close to Dodge City…the town ain’t big enough for the three of em’…a showdown at high noon on the sunny steps of Edminston is a gonna happen! Roll up! Roll up folks! To see the greatest show in town!
It gets better…
Donald Finlay will provide legal support to Bomber according to BBC…
That’s criminal..!
Mr Green:
TUPE, or not TUPE, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of dispriz’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere’d country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

Cully needs to be told that it`s a small price to pay for the removal of the stench of Hun from the SPL ..
if CFCF are that stuck they could add a tenner to the ST
btw his figures don`t factor in the cost of the repair of the damage which the animals cause when they visit

The kids’ parents need to sign a letter giving their consent before a notary public.
Most solicitors are notary publics but they will obviously charge – we charge £25 plus VAT per letter.
However, you have plenty of time and some politicians and policemen are also notary publics who would not charge.

Just watched the Bomber vid..
A wee message for you Bomber – Yer grandson will be a Celtic fan:-)
And, as for the Evening Times and all the other MSM concerns about clubs losing money with the huns extinction. Here’s a novel idea to make up the shortfall: SELL A PLAYER OR TWO!
Do the players have to notify DEADCLUB (D&P) or Sevco5088
by midnight or their contracts automatically transfer.
If so still some fun left today :))))

Thank you for sending bomber…..now please if you could give us a wee day or two to compose ourselves….

No rest I’m afraid – tomorrow will be a busy day with the MSM camped outside Murray Park counting players in for the start of training. Well, it might not be that busy… Will Jim Spence need more than his fingers to count them?

They have just been arrested in Spain. Plan B… Eehhh! Maybe Plan Q now.
Bomber broon droppin a bombshell on sky but firing blanks like every other bhun that thinks their clubs no died!
Add him tae the long list that hid when the club might once have been saved!
More like Groundhog Day than Blazing Saddles Paul!
Jardine keeps the laughs coming…
Sandy Jardine has slammed the posse of players who are trying to quit for free at a time when the Light Blues are in their deepest crisis.
Top stars Steve Davis, Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Allan McGregor and Kyle Lafferty, youngsters Jamie Ness and Rhys McCabe plus livewire Sone Aluko have all indicated they will not report for pre-season training tomorrow.
Jardine says their actions smack of self-interest and greed and he is furious that if they succeed they will deny Rangers much needed revenue through transfer fees – even at reduced prices.
It sticks in the throat of a man who gave his all for Rangers in 674 competitive matches during 17 years of service as a player.
He has no truck with top players not wanting to play in a lower division – as appears likely for Rangers – but he is deeply disappointed that the players are not honouring deals they brokered in March whereby they could leave for reduced transfer fees.
In essence they would still get their move away, but at least the club would benefit to some degree.
Speaking exclusively to RangersTV he said: “I am dismayed and disappointed by the actions of the eight players.
“You have to say that if the players were up front and honest you would respect them more.
“What they have done is seen an opportunity – whether it is them or their agents – to maximise their income.
“The players took a salary sacrifice but for that they got clauses in their contracts which would allow them to leave on rock bottom prices if clubs came in for them.
“I have to be honest and I think the players have used our predicament to their gain.”
Celtic supporters should ensure that Parkhead is full to the rafters every time we play the team that takes the place of Defuncters, just to ram it down the throats of the LL who continue to insist that we need thems.
Watched Browns Interview 3 times now is it just me or dose he seem to get drunker every time i watch it( IMHO)

Quote of the day
Charles Green “I have learned to expect the unexpected at Rangers.”
The gift that continues to give….playing the game of “hun no cluedo”.
First up is WHYTE who promises investment, and uses season ticket money to buy the assets.
Next up is GREEN who promises investments, and asks for season ticket money to buy the assets.
Now we have BROWN who promises investments, and asks for season ticket money to buy the assets.
There’s a wee recurring theme here!!
Personally, I cant wait for my favourite colour HMRC RED to get involved.

I see bomber broon even managed to get a loan of rab c nesbitts jacket,

Mr Sardine sir, perhaps if he people at Unholy Mess FC (IA/L) had been a wee bitty honest throughout the 100+ years of their inglorious history, you might not be practising necrophilia today.
