I have lost track of who each of the newspapers back in the battle over the bones of Newco. Have the Record always been so critical of Dave King or is this a new phenomenon? Yesterday’s piece in that ‘paper, which left responsibility for Newco’s plight at the door of chairman King, read like a placeholder ahead of more foreboding news.
You and I knew how King’s tenure would play out. We rooted for him as he rallied fans and all pliable outlets to subvert the club into a position he would be able to buy a controlling interest. We want him to stay forever (which in a corporate sense may not be that long).
Now the future is writ so large even those previously sceptical can see it. Towards the end of next month the Scottish Cup semi-finals will take place and season book renewal forms will arrive across the country. A similar scenario convinced the Easdales to give up the fight three years ago; ultimately, they were pragmatic. From what we know about King, I don’t expect a similar abdication. He will stay until it is impossible for him to do otherwise, irrespective of the best interests of the club.
Which is a good thing. His team is so much fun to watch.

Hail Hail!
Had to laugh at the choices for new manager over at Rangers media.
If they can’t get Clarke then Jack Ross. Ha ha
Let’s just say he can’t stand any of the two clubs who played out of Ibrox and is way too smart imo.
Just catching up from pre ko time Sunday so a long read.
Must say the blog has been at its best.(God knows how good it would have been if we had won) and the support for DD is phenomenal ,
Keep it lit,G, and I will do a wee caunle for you and another for Lionsroar67 as well.
Fair enjoyed the poetry !
BTW my sister’s boy,whose father is Turkish won the local schools Burns Recitation and was even doing the actions.Mind you,his grand faither’s frae Ayr and supports United so that must give him a head start!!!!!!!!

Did you previously post as VALENTINESDAY? If so,I have your addy,and will pass it on to DD. He can’t quite access his mails right enough,so I’ll text it to him too.
Not that he’ll be able to mail you too soon,since he can’t access that,D’oh…
But you get my drift.

When we spoke on Sunday you had
concerns ,hopefully your recovery is a speedy one pal .
Like
Eurochamps
Weet Weet Weet and
Delanys , take comfort in knowing we’re
(CQN ) all thinking of you .
I personally think that Brendan could be lured back to the E P L, Certain I won’t be Everton,or Chelsea,or Arsenal, Leicester City,and if West Ham ,stay up,my money is on one of them 2,but if he stays with us for another 2 seasons,then I for one would be quite happy,but money talks,

You’ve a good memory! I arrived when the barricades were still down, so wandered to find a pub. It was a celtic pub across the road and round the corner, welcomed me like a sheriff’s officer.
Couldn’t take how cold it was when the squirrel opened, the jukebox defeated me though it swallowed my coins, my two mates bailed. I left a score for the fund with a bloke sitting against the back wall next to the dj corner, apologising that I’d be better prepared for the next one.
I blame myself for not being ready.

Thank you got your thoughts
Thursday will be 5 months since my Jackie passed
Still in love with her
She so loved her life
HH
OldBhoy: Don’t think money will come into it for Brendan.Ambition,certainly.Better weather abroad possibly(fluent in at least Spanish).But to be a history maker with your first team wins hands down for me.
But then I am not Brendan?.

You’ve cornered me as an aged lefty dinosaur but I’m not ValentinesDay. I’m here long enough to remember two monikers of the poster you have in mind but it’s not my place to expand on that.
I’ve only ever used one moniker, firstly to the rangerstaxcaseblog then when it bit the dust I wanted to discover how to post on this blog.

I will never forget watching last years Scottish Cup Final in Lisbon. When I stopped cuddling you after Tom Rogic scored, you were crying like a baby. I loved your passion pal. You are one of the best
