The man who wants to be chairman of Rangers International, Dave King, said over the weekend:
“In particular I see a present need to utilise the time we have over the next few seasons to be prepared, both financially and on the pitch, to compete with our Glasgow neighbours when we get back (sic) to the top League.”
Therein lies the problem. Oldco Rangers under David Murray were driven, “10-in-a-row and two European Cups” was the target Terry Butcher attributed to his former employer. They lived in someone else’s shadow but needed to think of themselves as superior. As a consequence, they lost everything.
Now the same crew at it again. “Compete with our Glasgow neighbours”. Why not just live within your means? Be as good as you can be, run your affairs in an ethical manner, whether you win, lose or draw? Spend the early years of Newco trying to compete with Celtic and the only thing you’ll achieve is a pervading sense of failure.
The Battle for the Blazer, AKA the bid by King to persuade the SFA that despite the enormous evidence to the contrary, he is Fit and Proper to be a director of a Scottish football team is surely pointless. Rangers International don’t need King as a director, all they need is his money, or anyone’s money. King doesn’t need to be a director to exact effective control over the club, all he needs to do is appoint proxies. The SFA must issue the JP McEnroe retort, “You cannot be serious?”
My apologies if King’s target is Partick Thistle.

My bhoy, just back from weekend in Belfast for rugby (I know, but he is a good Tim), said Neil Doncaster was at his school mate’s Uni in Bath last week giving a lecture. I would have thought he had more pressing issues to deal with in Scotland.

Did you get a trip to the Radnor lately?
Just finished the Kafka-esque ‘The Castle’ by Kafka. Reading it is like walking through sticky treacle for miles on end. I prefer ‘The Trial’ though. Now the movie adaptations need to be watched.

Zombie night out
Josef k, you post on here. Did you like ‘The Castle’? K’s assistants remind me of Chick Young and Jim White in relation to my hero David Murray.
