Loving the idea of Celtic going to "throw matches after they clinch the title to keep us out of Europe".

I'd assume Celtic would be professional about it but at the same time, after a long hard season I wouldn't imagine there'll be quite the same conviction in their play.....

Odds of 7/1 on Hibs coming 2nd are tempting...

According to that boy Morelos himself, via the Scotsman, the *real* Chinese team that was bidding silly money for him wasn't Beijing Rehne after all - and that surely puts paid to the utterly mental story that Beijing decided not to buy Morelos for £lots because they snapped up a 26-year old free agent left-back from M*ngolia instead.

Apparently the real team was Guangzhou Evergrande, from 1000 miles away, in southern China - and to be fair that's actually much more plausible. GZ have got money to burn since they just turned a €20m profit buying some Spurs midfielder and selling him on to Barcelona. Maybe they thought they could repeat the exercise again, buying up a middling player from the UK, training him up a little (in Morelos case, teaching him to hit a barn door from 2 yards away, perhaps) and then selling him back to Europe for bigger bucks than they paid in the first place. I mean, it wouldn't necessarily work, but businessmen who are flush with cash do tend to entertain relatively fanciful notions - just ask Elon Musk.

It's probably the most reasonable explanation for the stories, though why nobody could get the team's name right in the first place is still a mystery.

Was there not a bbc journalist who claimed to have seen the bid? If so, surely the name of the team bidding would have been confirmed at that point?

Well someone's wrong here.

The options that a BBC journalist made a mistake or that Morelos did.

The BBC journalist was probably given some sort of quick briefing or quick flash of some documentation, that was enough to cause him to retract his tweets. There's a good chance he hadn't heard of either of the two teams in question beforehand.

Morelos was the subject of a series of life-changing offers from the club over a period of weeks, and no doubt would have investigated where he was going to be living and working for the next few years.

I suspect that, outwith the possibility that either party is actually deliberately lying for some reason, Morelos is the one more likely to get the story right.

Was it not a load ***** as the club's that were all mentioned had their quota of foreign players PLUS the 100% tax would have made the deal utterly ridiculous for a player that isn't that good

Warburton, season 2016/17: P24, Pts 43 = 1.79pts/match

Caixinha: P10, Pts 18 = 1.8pts/match

Murty: P22, Pts 41 = 1.86pts/match*

*Murty's results have dropped to 1.62pts/match since the January investment. His Wage Bill is now £4M pa more than Warburton's.

All that money spent on loans in January and they are getting worse. [emoji23]

No team on this planet would pay anything like the £8-9-10m quoted and then pay the same amount again in tax - personally, I don't think he's even in the £1m bracket !

Apart from anything else there are severe restrictions on overseas player in the Chinese League.

Firstly they wouldn’t have offered that sort of money and secondly Sevco would have snapped their hand off for anything approaching that source of money.

This is has the hallmarks of a Jim Traynor PR stunt backed up by his old buddies in the media.

Because Morelos has come out and said it was a different team that had bid for him. But if KI had actually seen the bids like he claimed, then he would've got the team right.

I don't think this is significant. MBNA are in a general process of withdrawing from affinity credit cards. Mine was linked to the NTS until I was sent a new one a couple of months ago. I, and Rangers fans, have the same credit facilities as before, but no portion of payments will go to MBNA's previous partner. It's simply a corporate decision by MBNA not to renew agreements when they expire.

At least we know it's that pesky small minority that's to blame for it all again. All Klub 1690 have to do is say what this minority is doing that is wrong and get the rest of the clubbers to sort the bad boys out, thus restoring the previously excellent reputation of the supporters of the club that replaced the now defunct Glasgow rangers. Easy.

Although it's the usual paranoia of the guilty with distracting hyperbole this piece is actually written much better than most stuff produced by the football club they support. Perhaps they should suggest to their scribe that he applies to The Rangers for a job in their media relations department? Mind you - a successful application would mean less amusement amongst the general public whenever The Rangers issue a statement :-(

Your use of the term ‘Hun’ is the most sectarian thing ever!!

Despite their admirable restraint under extreme provocation, don’t be surprised if you’ve goaded a small minority of loyalists into further unpalatable behaviour.

In short, it’s all your fault.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

They seem to think that 'hun'is a derogatory term for a protestant. I've never called a protestant a hun. If you said that to Mrs Mainwaring-Smythe from Chipping Sodbury she'd wonder wtf you were talking about.

The term Hun to describe them is nothing to do with religion. Its attachment to the club that died goes back to a friendly against Everton in the early 50s when in their usual manner their follow followers ran amok in a drink fuel rampage through Liverpool. A journalist wrote an article calling them a "horde of marauding huns".

Reference to this article has since been used in court to circumvent the now sadly departed Offensive Behaviour At Football act.

Going back years a number of their supporters groups proudly referred to themselves as "Huns" prefaced by their locality. It was only after "fenian" was deemed to be offensive that it was decided by them that they should be equally offended by the term "Hun".

I think I’ve watched too many cup final videos on YouTube. I’m getting spammed on YouTube with ads from The Rangers trying to flog season tickets with the message “we are the people”.

I remember there once being an article in the paper, outraged about a sentence that was on the top of a Rangers flag that was apparently the name of a Loyalist anthem.

Not knowing what it referred to and being curious, I stuck it into Youtube to listen to the song in question. When you hear Rangers and Celtic fans singing, I honestly never know what's bile and what is not.

For years after, on the column down the right where it suggests songs you might want to listen to I'd have anthems of bigotry, all adorned with red hands, Union flags, balaclavas and guns and the like.

It used to piss me right off, and not for the first time I had to awkwardly explain to Mrs Smartie what exactly I had been looking at on my computer.

[Sylar]

I automatically assumed Bates was a financial offload. Had no idea he was a free agent.

Great move for him, but The Rangers' fans should be livid - he's one of their most promising young players prior to his injury.

Warning: history lesson approaching:
I always believed it was because the Royal family were Germans (known as the Hun in WW1). The family name was Battenberg before having to change it to Windsor due to anti-German feeling in 1917 - London had been bombed and, a year or so earlier, the Lusitania was sunk. Couldn’t have anyone thinking they were the enemy 🤔 as 1000s of people from German extraction had already been detained and/or deported after riots throughout England -not sure if we had them too. Anyway, Rangers’ unconditional support for the Royals was legendary so, later on, Rangers = Royalty erse-lickers = the Hun! Nowt to do with religion at all! Simple really! 😁

'McGinn has said he would never play for us. I don't understand why people suggest him'


I can't recall McGinn saying anything at all about them but if it's true then he's just gone even further up in my estimation and respect - a young, professional footballer who wants to go far in the game and have nothing to do with 'The Place Where Football Goes To Die' !

"Since 2008 Murray’s personal wealth has gone down from an estimated £720 millon to £180 million"

Then again, maybe not. :cool2:

[The Pointer]

Warning: history lesson approaching:
I always believed it was because the Royal family were Germans (known as the Hun in WW1). The family name was Battenberg before having to change it to Windsor due to anti-German feeling in 1917 - London had been bombed and, a year or so earlier, the Lusitania was sunk. Couldn’t have anyone thinking they were the enemy 🤔 as 1000s of people from German extraction had already been detained and/or deported after riots throughout England -not sure if we had them too. Anyway, Rangers’ unconditional support for the Royals was legendary so, later on, Rangers = Royalty erse-lickers = the Hun! Nowt to do with religion at all! Simple really! 😁

'Mountbatten' not 'Windsor'.

Not sure about the story either as I'd always believed it was a (relatively) more recent thing. Maybe someone who is in their nineties can confirm.

[ancient hibee]

For what it’s worth I had never heard Rangers called the huns until their fans started laying waste to various parts of England in the late 60s.

It was a quite famous newspaper headline in the 1970s, in a Midlands Newspaper, after one of their many rampages through an English town.

As an aside, my Grandad always said that, although Celtc were always considered to be a Catholic/Irish club, Rangers weren't really considered to be a 'Protestant' club until the 1920s. He said that side of things surfaced quite heavily when large numbers of Protestants left Ireland after Independence and started settling over here, combined with the generally anti-Irish feeling at the time because of the Irish fight for independence.

[Ozymandias]

I followed the link from the Celtic ticket thread to have a look, and in a kind of repulsed fascination scrolled through more of the first page. The closest I can get to describing it in a single word is "rabid"

I know they're playing Celtc tomorrow but threads like:

"Official Rangers v Taigs"
"Embra Tarriers"
"The Official Semi final Sash Bash"
"No Pope of Rome"
"**** Tickets"

Give a flavour of the general tone and level. It is if nothing else a fascinating insight into the minds of people who are, seemingly, permanently furious. The posts are reminiscent of Donald Trump tweets - short, incoherent and deeply unpleasant. They genuinely inhabit an alternative reality, and (as with a Trump) I look forward to the day when their existence is looked back upon as an aberration.

[Bostonhibby]

They're very silly boys.

The permanent state of fury combined with too much lager in the lodge and being 20st plus won't end well for the vast majority of their ageing male fan base.

The ones that do survive will be finished off by what actually happens on the pitch over the next few seasons under their current owner.

Her name is Windsor. Her husband’s name is Mountbatten. They’re royals so it all gets needlessly complicated, they like having lots of names. I don’t think any of it has anything to do with the Huns, aka West of Scotland football supporters.

Hold on, looking like one or two of the knuckle-draggers are starting to tipple - thread on 'Muppet-media' -

http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/315156-was-murty-flung-under-the-bus-to-kickstart-the-moonbeam-for-st-sales/

One of them's thumbed his/hers/its opinion -

'Dodgy Dave flung him (Murty) under the bus this week, as soon as any group of players know a manager is gone the knives come out and grudges are settled, why did king do this in the run up to such an important game? No one in the right mind would do that, no-one
murty gone, Jimmy Nic takes over on a temp basis. Season tickets are due for renewal on the 15th of May....lots of high profile managers are linked, moonbeam delivered to sell STs then Jimmy Nichols gets it in the summer once we’ve all renewed'

Admittedly I've no idea who/what 'moonbeam' is but it's obvious the poster has tippled to the Hun way of getting their dough - the Hun use their chums in the media to link high-profile names with the 'Ibrokes' job (names that in reality, wouldn't set foot in their place - stadium or Glasgow) but it's enough for the 'IQ-challenged Loyal' to part with their giro-money as it gets them thinking of a return to the old days of when they used to steam-roller over all opposition - completely oblivious of the fact that for that to happen, the SFA would need to allow them to CHEAT again ?. Yeah, I know we all know the SFA would indeed love to do that for them but thanks to the publicity of the FIRST time they were caught cheating, it's highly unlikely !

Union Bears are announcing a protest at the next Hearts game. Apparently they intend to buy a ticket, go to the game, watch the match, and not sing any offensive or bigoted songs. This will apparently pressure the Rangers bignobs to get their act together and sort out the mess that is the football team.

I can't see that tactic working with any normal team, but Rangers has always been a little bit special, so maybe it'll prove effective here.

Obviously he wasn't allowed.

“Reasoned mediation might not be in his skill set...” - his prose style is a real pain in a sore place, but occasionally he does hit the spot. As to whether Brown actually offered his “skills” to the Sevco dressing room.....who knows.

He really is very good at the smug Celtc prick thing,As well as the rewriting of history.

The other day, he tweeted that Sevco is the legal name for the club, and that they "trade as" RFC. I called him out about it, but have had no reply.

Such is his standing, that many will believe him on this, and other things, without question.

Is winning the league with 4 or 5 games to spare a lack of challenge? Im sure just about every major league at the moment has a league winner with the same or more games to spare :confused:

I'm sure that the supporters of Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen, StMirren, Inverness, Ross County, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone (I'll probably have forgotten somebody) ... all of whom have won Cups in the years since RFC's demise.... would prefer to go back to the duopoly. :greengrin

Comments like this really piss me off. Why does it have to be The Rangers who challenge Celtic. He can ram his comments up his arse. Guys like him are what’s wrong with Scottish football. Same with Sutton, fat Sally etc.. League was fine without the Huns in it.

[Smartie]

It would be interesting to hear Neil Lennon's take on his old teammate's comments.

I took them more as a sly dig at Sevco tbh, and he suggested that Aberdeen and Hibs should be seen as the main challengers these days.

I had hoped that the would be the kind of thing Lennon would want to pin to the dressing room wall this weekend, but it didn't actually come across that way as much as I'd hoped.

[weecounty hibby]

I was told today that the rangers condition is bad for Scottish football. I pointed out that Hibs - winning the cup, 18,000 average attendance, Hearts high average attendance, Aberdeen 2nd place a number of times and decent average attendance and LC win, St J SC win, Dundee Utd cup win etc etc and der hun having won the square root of **** all suggested that it was very good for Scottish football and only really bad for them. He countered with " but Hibs are never going to win the league" he gave up when I said but neither are rangers any time soon.
Full of their own self importance and Scottish football is doing ok thanks very much and part of that is because they are *****. They don't get, or don't want to get, that a strong challenge to celtic doesn't need to come just from them but is much better to come from 4 or 5 teams. Hibs, Aberdeen, Hearts and der hun challenging would be much better than the duopoly we have historically had

I worked with a guy who used to head up the commercial team at Rangers...they had , at the time , about 150,000 people on their customer database...they had a campaign to try to get another 100,000 on it...they engaged with their community asking them to introduce a rangers supporting friend too them..incentives offered etc...they expected at least a 50% uplift - they got under 3000 new names..

it led them to understand, not that they would publicly admit, that they are not a global fanbase club in the way Celtic are...they are dominantly supported by the west of Scotland diaspora...they are a big club in scottish terms - no doubt, but globally - nowhere near the appeal of Celtic, who have huge Irish support base across the globe, and other league's big teams, who have brands which have international cross community appeal in a way Rangers never will have.

Clearly some of the Sevco fans would prefer to support a football team like this guy. Many of them however seem to want to be in the KKK/Orange Order. The problem is that the jokers in charge know they can make much more money out of the facists much like Celtc (I was there) know they can make much more out of peddling the sectarian plastic paddy p1sh.

CWG, how feasible is it to make a few calls to significant investors, hinting at negative consequences for the company if they take up the offer?

You’d think that the logical thing would be to take the money and run, but perhaps these shareholders will be persuaded to stick by the club.

The DR are saying that the current share price is 27.5p, whereas the offer will be 20p. There's your "persuading" right there......

That said, anybody who makes their financial decisions based on a few lines in the Record, deserves to get shafted. :cb

:aok:

To hold on, you’ve got to be confident that King’s financial turnaround can work... and it’s based on large income from European football.

Exciting times at Ibrox!

[Pescarese]

DR reporting that DK will make his offer next week.

According to them, there are unlikely to be too many acceptances.

Also, the new share issue will take place "within weeks, not months".

Hope it’s not that soon. I’m looking forward to shouting “We’ve got an Ofir, we’ve got an Ofir, you’ve not, you’ve not.”

Ok, I’ll get my coat ...

[JeMeSouviens]

The press is full of Steve Gerrard "locked in talks" to be their next manager stories. Another, but even less experienced, youth coach. Excellent! :greengrin

just going for the big name option eh? awful job for a 1st time manager to take, few rumours about Neil Warnock....

Gerrard would shift more STs but be a disaster. Warnock would probably do ok but surely too savvy to take it?

bit of rangers fan by all accounts, also has a home up here....would be a mistake for him though

I think the Gerrard stories are just the usual agitprop garbage planted by Jabba’s goblins to get the daft Huns to renew whilst at the same time deflecting from the mess in the back room and on the park.
Even assuming there was any truth to the Stevie G. stuff, if he were to do the smallest bit of due diligence/research, he would soon realise not to touch Sevco with the biggest of jobby covered sticks.

One of the Scottish tabloid journalist was talking about him on Clyde last night
Said there’s something in it, whether just enquiries from Rangers side
Said also would take Gary McAllister as his assistant, if it was to happen

Fixed that for you.

Really can't see them going with each other.

[JeMeSouviens]

Seemingly he fell out with Rodgers at Liverpool because he was no longer an automatic starter.


"I didn’t enjoy missing big games," Gerrard told BT Sport.

"I sat on the bench against Manchester United and Real Madrid and for me, I don’t want people to remember me as a substitute, maybe that’s being a bit selfish but I’ve played for the first team for 17 years and I’ve been a key part of the team"


"Sitting on the bench at home against Manchester United at home was tough to take as well and was probably the reason why I was sent off within 30 seconds."

An ego driven inexperienced youth coach with a grudge that's prone to over-emotional responses? Sounds perfect. :wink:

[ballengeich]

I've no idea whether Gerard will eventually be a good manager or not, but at this stage of his career the link to Rangers must be about getting season tickets sold. His name might be attractive to top players, the available budget might not.

It takes attention away from the current big Ibrox question. Will King put money in an account this week for the share offer?

[jacomo]

If he is appointed, will he deny his Kafflick background like Joey Barton did?

[Fife-Hibee]

He already is. Claiming he went to a Catholic school but isn't actually Catholic. Like his parents would have sent him there if he wasn't. :rolleyes:

It's different in England as many kids go to the local Catholic school despite not being Catholic nor their parents.

One of his daughters is called Lourdes.

I guess they just liked the name.

Same up hear. You are not forced to go to a "catholic school just because you are one. Many parents choose to send their kids to yhem as they tend to have better academic achievement and discipline due to the ethos. Think is almost 50% non catholic background these days

I believe the family cat Vatican and dog Fatima get along well...

Because the C of E is as Catholic as you can get without having a Pope.

Once tried explaining the concept of a non-sectarian football club to my rangers mate. I support Hibs, but as a kid attended episcopalian services.

“Ach you’re still a Fenian b******” was his thoughtful reply.

[CropleyWasGod]

Because the C of E is as Catholic as you can get without having a Pope.

That would be an ecumenical matter.

[O'Rourke3]

That would be an ecumenical matter.

Carefull now...

[Famous Fiver]

Rikki Fulton in his persona as Rangers manager would be priceless in acting this one out!!

' Steven Gerrard' ye say? Bring him in. Well hello there. Now Steven, welcome to Rangers, but first I must ask ye, What school did ye go tae?'

[Keith_M]

Carefull now...


Down with that sorta t'ing!

[Keith_M]

Re Gerrard:

Wikipedia seems to be confused, as it says "He is a practising Roman Catholic".

[ian cruise]

He already is. Claiming he went to a Catholic school but isn't actually Catholic. Like his parents would have sent him there if he wasn't. :rolleyes:

I was a practicing Episcopalian who went to a Catholic school just outside Glasgow, neither my parents (including my Rangers supporting, masonic Lodge attending father), nor the school had any issues with it. It was a good school and it was where all my friends were going so that was where I wanted to go. It's really not an issue in Scotland either.
