Don't think the major investors will want a drawn out affair this time around; a quick fix is what they'll require imo.

Love bombers approach. His boss probably just hides in his office.

Why is everyone so keen to get mccoll and his gang in?

They deliberately stood by and watched while the club went down hopeing to get the club as cheap as possible.

They then came in with a ridiculously poor bid after green had done the deed.

The worst bit is that they used smith to get the fans on board and cause disruption at a time we needed to move on.

I agree green is not who I want in charge but neither are these so called rangers men

I would be delighted if McColl becomes involved - its what Rangers need; someone with the club at heart but also a BUSINESSMAN. It's because he is a businessman that he has been cautious in his approach. Maybe he has a long game strategy. Everyone seems to think that he can just lay out £10m here and £10m there. Do you think that is how he got to where he is?

SPR I'm sure Rangers fans just want the present regime out most of all. McColl's no doubt a pretty cagey and shrewd customer but the time has come to show his hand cos there may not be a next time!

Ginge do you have any ideas how it might pan out? Do you think it will be a long drawn out process or do you think this EGM might be useful?

Agree with Phoenix

At the end of the day, Green and co are the only ones who've put hard cash into the club. For me that makes them the only ones that matter.

If Walter's crew wants the club they'll need to pay Green handsomely for it, and rightly so.

Green is not a charity case and has always been in it for profit, as with any business men.

The fact is though, we needed him at the time, he saved the club and if he chooses to wait til he can cash in on his shares to make a healthy profit, so be it.

Also, if he wants to install a manager who can actually set out a team of SPL level players to beat div2 sides that probably wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Aesop.....spot on !! I'm not sure who people want in at Ibrox, I want Green out and always have done. McColl seems a pretty sound alternative but first they need the 51% to get the EGM and rid of Green's mates on the board.

db.....bollox !!! Green has yet to tell us where he got the £5.5m !! He refuses to do so, don't you think that's a tad strange ? He bleeds the business with high salaries for him, Mather, Stockbridge etc etc and we runa t a loss of at least £1m per month. He didn't save the club any more than anyone else would have, he was "fortunate" to have Whyte and Duff and Phelps on the inside to make sure he got it.

He didn't save the club any more than anyone else would have,
------------------------
No-one else did though, did they?

He doesn't have to tell anyone were his funding comes from, as long as it exists.

We run a £1m loss because Ally is paying through the nose for players that are too good for the league. We could have taken on a bunch of div 1 level players for a tenth of the money.

In terms of Green's salary, he earned half of what Ally does when he was CEO.

What do you expect from him? Charity? He put up the cash to save the club but he shouldn't take a salary or make a profit? Is that really what you think?

"He didn't save the club any more than anyone else would have"

Which is exactly people's issue with this big Gers man McColl.

The guy wants to either get on board or f uck off and stop p ussyfooting about. His name is constantly banded about and he done less than me, and indeed most of you, did in the club's hour of need. At least we turned up to the games and paid our hard earned to keep the club afloat.

This big swinging d ick doesn't impress me at all. He wants to make his intentions known and follow them through or get to f uck back to doing whatever he does, cautiously, elsewhere!

why on earth should green and stockbridge be paid prmotion bonus'

when does a finance director get a bonus for on feild stuff?

if he was coining money in for the club then go ahead but not doubleing his salary because we win a league title which is a gimme

I love how folk think that having a "rangers man" in charge is the best thing. Like supporting Rangers is all that matters.

If they are "Rangers men" why didnt they step in before? Why didn't they do the dirty work of admin and liquidation?

They blew it. They had their chance and blew it.

Don't forget - it was "Rangers men" who got us into this mess before.

PB - I don't like Green but I have to agree with you. These guys who have been skirting about the club for God knows how long have had their chances to step in and save us and would rather have stood back and watched us die off.

There is NOTHING concrete to suggest they will step in this time whether it be with money from their own pocket or by rounding a group of investors, anonymous or otherwise.

We are where we are and we might as well be asking for Jay-Z to put up and buy the club for all the meaningful moves we've had from McColl who seems to constantly get a mention.

David murray was never and will never be a Rangers man

owning Rangers and ploughing in millions of others and borrowed money hindered us and put us in the gutter, Rangers were an extension to murray's tiny coq

Real Rangers men like alastair Johnstone and Paul Murray who when david murray was removed, actually ran rangers at a profit and reduced the debt

they were sensible and id have them running the club before green and his bawbags as they are out to earn as much money as possible

green etc can fak off

That's why it is important that it is a businessman first and foremost, but also with the club at heart. Everybody talking about how McColl should have done something before - it's so easy to throw someone else's money around!!!

Aye, your right. We'll keep Green, we'll be ripped off, we'll go bust and cease to exist but hey, he has the right to do all of this cos he "saved " us.

Aye, and id have Alan Sugar running the club but unless he puts any money in he's as much chance as McColl. Or me for that matter.

I just don't see how they think Green and his investors will just walk away without making a substantial profit. And why should they? They bought the club fair and square and now some others who could've done the same want to worm their way in, no doubt by playing on the fans desire to have "Rangers Men" in charge.

Why don't they let Greens lot have the rest of the season to improve. After all they're perfectly happy for Ally to have as much time as he wants despite fcking up royally...

"Aye, and id have Alan Sugar running the club but unless he puts any money in he's as much chance as McColl. Or me for that matter. "

Exactly the point I made earlier. And it's me and you who HAVE put money (albeit a skittery wee amount in real terms) into the club.

I'm worth about £800 and managed to put my £400 in, by that reckoning... Geez £400m Jim

Papa....there's nothing wrong with being a rich businessman AND a Rangers supporter ! Desmond or whatever he's called ,owns Celtic and you rarely hear him speak, he doesn't attend board meetings or interfere but it's his dosh that runs the club. Is that wrong ?
