Coolio Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Coronavirus: Rangers say fixture calendar should be completed https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51913599 Contained within the above article is the following from The Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson: - "Furthermore, we are strongly opposed to playing games behind closed doors. Rangers fans have stuck by our club in the darkest of times. Their loyalty will not be forgotten and they will not be left behind." I genuinely do not believe that they could they be any more deluded as to their previous actions. It is our duty to remind them, at every opportunity of their club's death.

Also, apparently SDI has renamed itself to "Frasers Group". Even though I studied German I never understood the methodology of arriving at acronyms there!

This investor story will have some truth to it (and due diligence taking place) however the timing of the story when football operations around Europe are being suspended is all to give hope to the stupid when season ticket money will soon be needed.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Wonder why Traynor got launched as that's what seems to have happened (I've seen a couple of stories from his lackeys about his replacements lack of 'credentials'). Possibly Michael Stewart-gate but much more likely Morelos tampering/Morelos translation/Someone throwing stones at him while walking the dog-gate.
