Worst Rangers [sic]team in history?

Worst Rangers [sic]chief executive in history?

Worst Rangers [sic]fans in history?
Oh, please. They have played their part to perfection.
Worst Rangers [sic]manager in history?
Who, Ally the Great Enabler? No way.
Charles Green would not have any authority at Ibrox if Ally McCoist didn’t act as his enabler last year. While every Celtic fan with a keyboard was typing “Can they really be so stupid again?” Ally was cutting a deal for almost 5% of the share capital of the company [sic]. None of this would be possible without Ally. If you see him, buy him a pie.
The juxtaposition was pointed out to me:
19 years after John Keane stepped forward with an amount of money very precious to him..
With no guarantee it would solve our problems…
Or that he would see a penny of it again (for the record, he hasn’t, and he is unlikely to)…
A very different history played out across the city.
Today’s Herald told us the group trying to overthrow the Sevco board contains Jim McColl and that, “McColl is one of Scotland’s richest people, but he won’t spend his own money”.
The world is full of rich men who will not spend their own money. Long may they squabble over the Ibrox debris.
Our honorary chairman, John Keane, waved to the Celtic Park crowd before letting the league flag fly high, a direct consequence of putting his money where his mouth was.

Rangers: Walter Smith on brink of quitting as chairman at Ibrox
By Chris McLaughlin
Senior Football Reporter, BBC Scotland Rangers chairman Walter Smith is on the brink of quitting his post at the club following days of bitter infighting at Ibrox.
The former manager has already indicated to some within the club that he will definitely walk away if boss Ally McCoist is forced out and he may even go as early as this week.
McCoist reacted with fury after former chief executive Charles Green returned to the club as a paid consultant and indicated the manager’s position could be under threat.
Green was quoted in a national newspaper saying that McCoist’s position might not be safe even if he delivered the League One title – he also reiterated his claim that the current Rangers squad is the worst in the club’s history.
McCoist described Green’s behaviour as appalling and insisted the man, who stepped down back in April, was an embarrassment to the club.
Charles Green and Ally McCoist Charles Green and Ally McCoist have had their differences in the past
It is now clear that the pair will not work together and one will have to go before the club can make any attempt to move forward.
That has led to Smith indicating that he may have to step down from the position he has held since May.
The bust-up came just hours after the current chief executive Craig Mather hit out at a group of shareholders who have made steps to remove him from his position.
The group, thought to be led by Scottish businessman Jim McColl, want the removal of Mather and fellow directors Brian Stockbridge and Bryan Smart.
Mather, who has only been in the position permanently since last month, called the move ill-timed and ill-informed.
Some within the club also believe that the rival faction’s attempts to wrestle control also leaves the chairman exposed.
Smith was involved in a takeover attempt with McColl last year and will not back Mather in denouncing the attempts force boardroom change.

Personally l think Rangers will Tap up Stuart McCall..
If it is True.. any Real Journalist must ask McCall the Question..
“How Much did they Tap you for Stuart..?”
Summa
I don’t think the media or the Sevco fans should worry because Walter has many holding companies to move to within the Sevco family :))
Stuart McAll is only good for Huns when he’s the opposition manager….
So Paul Murrays ‘return’ at ‘discretion’ of @ScottishFA . Wonder how that’ll pan out.
If john keane has”t been paid back its a disgrace!
Did ally’s audio interview ever surface? Strange if not coz smsm are usually happy to produce managers comments.
Noo That’s a Kilt…

summa,
the bridie/steakbake/pie muncher is there for the duration.Too much cash to bullet him and his entourage.Fat chops would have to resign and as the highest paid manager in Scotland he wont
SMSM in complete joy as factions brief their media favs, an attack on Paul Murray in the Daily Mail
Paul Murray’s ambitions of seizing power at Rangers could prove a non-starter due to his prior involvement with the club before it was liquidated.
Murray and namesake Malcolm, the former Ibrox chairman, have demanded an EGM which could see the former leader of the Blue Knights return to the boardroom together with the appointment of former PricewaterhouseCoopers chief Frank Blin.
The requisition also demands the departures of current chief executive Craig Mather, finance director Brian Stockbridge and non-executive director Bryan Smart.
The move, which has the backing of Clyde Blowers tycoon Jim McColl, was revealed on Friday — the same day that news broke of former chief executive Charles Green returning to the club as a consultant.
But Murray’s hopes of displacing Green’s associates from positions of power at Ibrox could yet be stymied by the SFA’s rules on directors.
Murray was a member of the Rangers board during Sir David Murray’s ownership of the club, resigning when Craig Whyte assumed control in May 2011. Rangers went bust nine months later and Article 10.2 (j) in the SFA’s Articles of Association appears to prevent him from returning in an official capacity.
Part of the SFA’s ‘fit and proper’ criteria, it states as one of the reasons for refusing to approve appointments: ‘He has been a director of a club in membership of any National Association within the five-year period preceding such club having undergone an insolvency event’.
Although the matter would be at the SFA’s discretion, Murray’s desire to grab the club from Green’s clutches could well be thwarted.
Green’s consortium beat the Blue Knights to the punch last year when they were awarded preferred bidder status after the club entered administration and were in a position to buy the assets for £5.5million after liquidation.
The Yorkshire businessman is officially back to attract fresh investment, but his return is widely seen as a means to bolster a falling share price for his investors.
I’m surprised they didn’t attempt to get the fat bastard into the first team….
Whits wee Bryany done……?

MacJay..
Did you see the Julian Assange interview on 60 Minutes last Night..

IN the dirty war that is the ongoing battle for control of Rangers, events off the pitch are currently far more significant than what happens on it.
It is why one of the most excruciatingly wretched defeats in the Ibrox club’s history on Saturday was able to be almost completely overshadowed in the post-match media coverage by Ally McCoist’s witheringly unequivocal verbal assault on Charles Green.
It takes either a brave or foolish manager to so publicly flay the man who is the biggest individual shareholder at a club. McCoist is certainly no fool and it has to be concluded that his outburst was a carefully considered move to firmly align himself against Green as the battle lines are drawn in the Ibrox boardroom.
In most companies, any employee who described a major shareholder as both “devious” and an “embarrassment” would quickly find themselves in possession of their P45. It remains to be seen if McCoist, a man fond of a gamble, has played his cards correctly on this occasion.
There will be many Rangers supporters who sympathise with McCoist, who has unquestionably had to undertake one of the most scrutinised roles in football under the kind of restrictive and disruptive conditions quite unprecedented in the history of the game in this country.
Regardless of any mitigating factors, however, very few Rangers fans are of a mood to accept excuses for the first-round elimination from the League Cup against Forfar Athletic at Station Park.
Despite being unable to field any of his eight summer signings on Saturday, McCoist was still able to field four full internationals in his starting line-up. The manager’s observation that it was “last year’s team” was clearly unarguable, but would such a defeat have been considered acceptable last season? Hardly.
McCoist was unhappy at Green’s comments in his eye-popping interview with The Scottish Sun on Saturday morning which included the Yorkshire businessman restating his opinion that last season’s Rangers team was the worst in the club’s history. But if that was enough to put McCoist’s players off their breakfast on the day of the game, then they must have exceptionally weak stomachs. The bald fact, of course, is that Rangers did have the worst team in their history during the 2012-13 campaign, simply because they had never played in the fourth tier of Scottish football before.
It might have been different had they made a significant impression in cup competitions, but that is an area which remains a major blot on McCoist’s managerial CV. The 2-1 extra-time loss to Forfar was the eighth defeat he has suffered in 18 cup ties so far since taking the job in the summer of 2011 and he has yet to guide Rangers to even a semi-final. Green’s insistence that McCoist must win a cup this season, which presumably does not extend to the Ramsdens Cup, has cranked up the pressure on the manager. If the timing of Green’s re-emergence on centre stage of the Rangers soap opera has upset many involved in the club, it has to be recognised that he never really left in the first place. Since his resignation as chief executive in April, he has simply been waiting in the wings and still wielding considerable influence.
Chief executive Craig Mather, it should be remembered, was brought to Rangers by Green, as was financial director Brian Stockbridge. As recently as last month, Greenock businessman James Easdale, another investor recruited by Green at the time of the club’s stock market flotation in December, was appointed a director at the same time former chairman Malcolm Murray and director Phil Cartmell were deposed. The remainder of the current six-man board, including non-executive chairman Walter Smith, were all appointed by Green.
Smith’s loyalties lie firmly with McCoist, of course. His sole stated aim on accepting the chairman’s position earlier this year was to try and provide a more stable environment off the field at the club in order to provide his former assistant manager with every possible opportunity to fashion a successful team on it.
But after a summer of relative calm which persuaded around 34,000 supporters to purchase season tickets for Ibrox, the club is now on the brink of another period of turmoil as billionaire businessman Jim McColl lines up alongside former Rangers director Paul Murray in a bid to wrest control away from Green and his allies.
There can be no doubt that Green intends to be more than a “consultant” on his return to the boardroom. He unashamedly saw Rangers as an investment when his consortium purchased the business and assets of the stricken club last year and he will neither depart the scene quietly or empty-handed.
For McCoist, the stakes could not be higher. If Green wins the looming battle of rival investors and shareholders, the manager’s departure is surely inevitable. Having earned a reputation for enjoying remarkable good luck during his illustrious playing career, McCoist finds himself in the deeply unfortunate position of trying to prove himself as a capable and successful manager at a club which seems determined to tear itself apart once more.
