Let’s be clear, our football was corrupted

574

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.

  1. The pep Warburton only saying what everybody knows, as the judge said, a mendacious liar, should be fun watching the media doing they’r laptop gymnastics now, crazy as crazy gets, and Traynor baw deep in it as well, that’s what happens when you let a crackpots do your PR.

    WOULD you like to be part of the Rangers team as a volunteer on matchdays?

     

    If you’re a good communicator and have a strong commitment to the Light Blues we want to hear from you.

     

    We are looking for volunteer fans to assist the club around the stadium footprint and act as a matchday contact for supporters, pro-actively providing information and helping resolve any issues that our fans may face with accuracy and efficiency.

     

    Successful candidates will be Rangers supporters themselves so will be able to think like those that they’ll be helping. Volunteers will have an engaging personality and be genuinely excited to help supporters. They’ll be patient, empathetic, and passionately communicative – they love to talk.

     

    The target is to ensure excellent service standards.

     

    I believe Murty is staying on as interim coach…..also translated as we are mega skint.
