Kris Boyd has the answer folks - get Minty Murray back in.

Now this little snippet from his article really shows how deluded he is. The sad thing he probably believes it.

 

 

That?s not the Rangers I know. That?s not the club I grew up supporting.

I was brought up being told that as a Rangers fan there was a certain way to behave. It was other clubs who did things like that, not us.

McGill agrees there was a major "health and safety issue" at Ibrox. Cites problem with Public Address system, ?1.7m within 12 months


 




Findlay notes "your telling the new owner he can shut half the stadium and you can't do anything about it"

I'm enjoying this far too much. Rangers knew about ticketus being used for the deal and it would appear even suggested it. There is too much vested interest in the sale going through. Murray knew the club was going down, other directors making healthy profit from the sale.

Am I the only one thinking Craigy boy is getting off with the charges?

Going to be interesting. Plenty of muck being raked up by Findlay. Still think he will be convicted of something. Lots of bums twittering though especially SDM I would think.

Certainly no "he said, she said" when it comes to email evidence. Hopefully lots more to come.

Seen some tweets that McGill admitted Wee Tax Case was impossible to appeal in December 2010 and also admitted the Wee Tax Case 'Crystallised' in March 2011.

 

This is the formal line from Regan that the WTC hadn't crystallised so nothing wrong with Rangers Euro License for season 2011/12.

 

There are more people than just Whtye who should be banned from not just Scottish football but any Uefa affiliated member association.

 

And dependent on any SFA involvement, whether Scottish football itself should have been sanctioned.

DF You sold RFC to useless twits who didn't have the funds.

The bank was Bankas Snoras, with Vladimir Antonov as a major shareholder.  The bank was nationalised by the Lithuanian authorities because of a number of irregularities not long before Ukio Bankas collapsed.

 

Antonov also got involved with Portsmouth before it went into administration.

Yes, but the annoying part of the articles in the red tops stated....."There was a bid from a mystery Lithuanian Bank etc , etc"....and then underneath it it said..."at the time Romanov owned Heart Of Midlothian" 

 

Clearly inferring that Vlad was part of it......absolutely no need to name Vlad in that article at all..........sensationalism at its best

The more that we hear the more it seems that Craig Whyte has been given the Lee Harvey Oswald role in the demise of Rangers, with Sir David Murray last seen scurrying away from the grassy knoll.

You'd better believe it bud, been saying the same for ages now that Whyte was 'just a patsy'.

 

Who knows, maybe Whyte has the missing bullet and it's covered in fingerprints which are not his own.

martin bain given bonus of ?360k for helping deal to sell to whyte, but didn't seem to do much

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-39855916

 

It sums up the entire situation, three groups of Rangers directors i.e. David Murray et al, Craig Whyte et al, and Alastair Johnson, Bain et al --- all trying to rip the maximum personal benefit out of RFC and all pointing the finger at others calling them charlatans. Absolutely laughable we are wasting public money on this private spat.

I'm amazed how some on here come on with mock outrage as if the football world is held to a different standard from the rest of the business world.

 

If they really care about football they'd be up in arms at Pogba's agent getting over ?22million from his transfer but that seems to be okay for them as they are silent on the matter..........I guess there must be another reason why this case and the club involved seem to matter more to them..........Perhaps their great rivals being involved in such a scandal is reason enough.

#Rangers sell 15-year-old Billy Gilmour to Chelsea for ?500k. Wish the kid well but can't help feel it's a bad move at such a young age.

It's a move

 

You take a risk

 

Not sure of the quality of coaching. Maybe Rangers have better coaches than Chelsea. He certainly has the opportunity to play abroad on loan from Chelsea if he does well.

 

I feel he has made a good choice.

Whatever Pogba's agent made has had no impact on Hearts, the Old Rangers and their cheating did have an impact on Hearts and the rest of Scottish football for many years and still does.

 

By the way Hibs are our great rivals not Rangers, but that's not what you were meaning.

Why the **** should any Hearts fan be 'up in arms' about the Pogba transfer? What a strange comment.

To (almost) borrow an old Not The Nine O'Clock News line, ?22m going to an agent? Is that gross? No, it's obscene.
