I see a bit of ‘It was five years ago, get over it’ going around today. Let’s be clear, our football was corrupted for over a decade as a dependency on spending money you don’t have took hold at Ibrox, infected many other clubs, before sending Rangers into administration and liquidation. And that’s not touching side letters hidden from HMRC, shredded correspondence and hundreds of games undertaken with incorrectly registered players. It was a very human tale of avarice and a desire to be seen as top dog in the social pecking order.
For 8 years before Administration Day the Cassandras on here who predicted what was to come, were also told to get over themselves, that as club as big and powerful as Rangers would always find someone to bail them out. Some of us were predicting the crash and burn a lot longer than that.
What I don’t read is ‘Get over it, the lessons have been learned’, because it is painfully obvious that at Ibrox, with the same directors in charge as before liquidation, prioritising financial security (for the club, that is) hasn’t happened. Every passing transfer window it’s also plain that we have more than a few adherents to David Murray’s ‘speculate to accumulate’ policy in the comments section.
So until the lesson has been learned (and a long time thereafter), I’ll reserve the right to recall the facts and financial reality, and to celebrate that great day: 14 February 2012, the first Administration Day at Ibrox. If one day you read Newco statements that say, “We’re going to match expenditure to income, and be happy with who we are”, it could be the last admin there, but don’t hold your breath, this turkey has another turd to drop.

Hamiltontim,
Don’t think that the 10 are not TIMELESS.
Reflect.
Pochettino awaiting the call from the Nou Camp, Enrique dead man walking.
HT
Don’t I know it !!!
I am scottish so I have a right to vent my feelings about the sectarian shithole that it is.
I don’t want to feel like I do, but I honestly can’t help it, I have tried and tried not to feel the way I do to no avail.
If I could wave a magic wand I would and trust me my feelings would be way down the list of change.

Koeman or Frank de Boer?
Canamalar
Ignore it, im just getting started:)
You however must be very peed off watching this farce play out.
I salute your doggedness.

Enrique has been for some time, I haven’t spoken to a Barca supporter for more than a year who has any faith in him, that result tonight will finish him for sure.

De Boer would knock them back for Sevco ;-)
His failure at Inter would probably rule him out.
Koeman is a possibility, or Warburton .
At the end of the day it’ll be who Messi wants.
Gary67
Yes Messi will choose unless he’s for the off himself. He’s out of contract in 18′.
Unfortunately some people Love Power, no matter how LITTLE it is.
Don’t you ever again Chris.
WOW WOW WOW

Evening all.
Usual nonsense. Director of football, de Boer, “big names being considered”, top job, huge club …… yawn.
You’d almost think they were about to ask their stupid fans for money.
What will happen first in 2018, the feast of the epiphany or the season ticket renewal letters sent out by Sevco?
Gttf: very good point – DOF feels like a L5 pr play.
Not to mention the fact it’s DOF but director of fupp all -I don’t believe for one minute the football community don’t know the ‘rangers’ brand is toxic and has changed irreversibly
thetimreaper,
Yeah I might get a lot of Time off Work,,,, and the Catholic Bible thumper will be oooot the way.
Who knows.
As Long as I get to see Brendan’s Teams.
Anyone that thinks they KNOW anything. GOOD Luck. :))

Stunned you got brought into ma jibber jabber, it’s all good in the hood.

Agreed with the first post but not a scoobie about the second amigo

Not a bother sir.
I have to say the Nil By Mouth Q/airre is the poorest attitude survey I have seen approved in a long time.
They’d be as well asking:-
1.Do you think disrespecting your mother and flag is a) wrong b) very wrong c) very very wrong or d) worse than Islamic State terrorism?
MARGARET MCGILL on 14TH FEBRUARY 2017 9:54 PM
That’s the reason why I am so disinterested in them and why they should have been wiped from the footballing map.
I refer to the part of your post that they might run out of money soon. I read that part of your post as sarcasm, if so I agree, I’m fed up hearing they are about to run out of money, that they don’t have a pot to piss in, no money for March’s wages…etc.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
One’s named Ronald

Joe Fillipi, I hope your wife’s operation was succesful.
For any posters who use the A725 Bellshill/ East Kilbride expressway , the new road under the M74 at the Raith Interchange , will be in use from this Thursday according to a post on facebook and a tweet on Etims twitter.

Yeah – especially when it’s backed up by “the new man will have money to spend”, as was mentioned on RS tonight.
Just like the “over-investment” last year!

Agreed mate!
Lennybhoy
I often ask myself where their money is coming from.
I also ask myself why would someone throw millions a year away unless they are deranged, anyone imo who is a millionair is anything but deranged, but that could be debatable :-)
Point is, the huns who are giving them the loans, are they so rich that they can throw away millions ? do they really love the huns that much ? if they do they really need help, not for me to say what that help entails but I would imagine their weans and grandweans would have an idea.
Or is the money coming from other sources ????? that bothers me, something I didn’t hear and should have.

He Loved beating Rangers 5-1 – We were situated right next to them – Last Time – I’ll take that m74 cutoff. Horribly uneasily feeling. Wearing Green with Hordes pushing from the Motorway on to the side roads because of the sheer traffic jam.
I made a mistake.

TGM,
Just waiting on a call from the Plc, I suppose we’ll find out the next prevarication when the call happens.
Canamalar
Really?
From the PLC or a Dunning_Kruger delegate?
Keep us posted.
Thanks.
