    Is this latest move meant to rejuvenate their season? not with that pile of crap they have as players, typical spin to push them up to the SPL and the media will be sucking it up just like they did with the cheating yams, here we go.

    I think I've solved the mystery

    Dave King's wealth exists, it's only "off the radar wealth"

    A bit like Motherwell-born billionaire Craig Whyte's wealth was off the radar...
    It's immeasurable, it's so immeasurable that no one has ever bothered to measure it. Except the south African tax man obviously.

    They do like their off the radar wealth guys who have serious convictions down ibrox way.

    Is it true that Keith Jackson from the DR (the "wealth off the radar" guy) had to be taken to A&E after hearing King won the (E)GM, as he did serious injury to his own nether regions?

    Not that he's a King Fanboy or anything...........

    Kings just setting up thier off shore tax free accounts ,that will put a spring in thier step Boyd will suddenly shoot to the top of the scoring charts But they haven't factored in we are a team on a roll , who have shown in the past few weeks we can now grind out results when not at the top of our game. Let's wait and see who the new manager is ,Stubbs will relish the challenge , as up to now it's been to easy to beat them

    I'd imagine he will at least be after some extra packets of grass seed and his own fork, I can see King running to that after he has got the other investors to put up their money. I don't think they have to be legally listed on the stock exchange or have a nomad to do that -watch for exciting developments on the turf front down Ibrox way.

    The Daily ****** are down their photographing the grass now for a before and after King special, Keith Jackson is exclusively interviewing a divot but it is managing to evade his insightful questioning line.

    There was a picture of a roll of turf, wearing a kilt, he said that talking to Nacho/Amuroso/Laudrup had been all it took to sell the club to him. He can't wait to take part in the world's greatest fixture, the record jokes he'll know all about it after 90 minutes of passionate football.

    The editorial says this can only be good for Scotland, as our home grown turf isn't up to the mark.

    Prodistunt or kaflik turf? Probably best to resolve this now as all the bile is bound to resurface now they feel they have the rangers men in control.

    'Rangers have won two consecutive promotions after financial problems led to them playing in Scotland's bottom tier' - since when did 'Cheating' or 'Tax-dodging' become a 'financial problem' ??

    This is just the media starting to re-write history, and soothing the pain of The Rangers fans.

    In 10yrs time, "the Gers" will have been the unfortunate victims of some devious misappropriation of funds, and petty, smaller clubs jealousy. Once back in their rightful place, the Hibs, Dons and DUFC of this world will feel the full wrath of their vengeance

    'are as guilty of years of cheating' - They actually surpass their 'Big Bros' in the cheating-stakes. Murray took over the Hun in 1988 but Mercer, who took over Hearts (as 'Charity Thieves FC' were then known as) started off their 'Finance Football' business-model in 1981.

    Reading this article just gave me the boak. It's just so wrong in so many ways, but the bit that really made me laugh was the following quote from Alistair Johnston:

    "It is an institution and a community club. It is going to be a team of the people , by the people for the people."

    Aye Alistair "we are the peepul" right enough. Just as long as you aren't catholic, or even a protestant married to a catholic, I suppose. They probably didn't count (still don't?) as part of the "community" for the best part of a hundred years at Rangers FC.

    DAVE KING has vowed to expose the brutal financial truth behind the running of Rangers and chase down anyone who illegally profited from greed.


    Executive chairman Murray and director Gilligan have been joined on the board by Douglas Park after King decided to decline a director’s position for now.
    He will be subject to scrutiny by a nomad he expects to appoint next week after he pled guilty to 41 criminal counts involving tax offences in South Africa last year.


    you honestly just couldn't make this sh@te up, seriously


    http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-interim-chairman-paul-murray-5287851

    When the formalities were all over, new interim chairman Murray said: “I would personally like to take the opportunity to thank the Daily Record for its courageous journalism over the past four years – and officially confirm it is no longer banned from Rangers FC.”


    aw man

    It was incredible. He said that Rangers were used to being the leaders of Scottishf football governance and direction (or similar) and then went on to say that Rangers were the biggest club in Scotland.

    They think they are back to where they were under Murray mint, lording it. My hatred just goes up another notch. Luckily enough we have a manager and players that I am confident will wipe the floor with them when it comes to the crunch.

    I long ago came to the conclusion that the whole lot of them are both deluded and completely nuts.

    The one bit he got right, from what you say in your post, was that Celtic have missed them but that is for purely selfish financial reasons.

    Thankfully we are a football team, with good football players, who just get on with beating Rangers at football by 2,3,4 goals

    They are an institution which has acted as a gathering place for the most disturbed element of our society & they have a terrible football team

    We'll beat them on & off the park

    Seriously wondering if he thinks before he speaks on subjects like this. Hopefully he will get a run at it. The last thing we wanted to see was a professionally run outfit transparently funded by Ashleys own money.

    Borrowing and bits and pieces of investment from various sources looks like their future. More of the same, and the tax man cometh

    Based on the last five or six games McDowall has shown he can't change things ,.so I think they will need to bring someone in short term or they wait another few weeks to get who they want going forward and hope they can sort them out for the playoffs But for every game McDowall is in charge they risk losing more ground to us

    Might need something like that but it's shameful that a club with sooooo much money/resources should have to change their manager 3 times in season just to reach the play offs. Irrespective of what's happening off the park. there's no way their highly paid, cherry picked squad should struggle as badly as it has. McCoist's performance as a manager of the Huns this season has been as bad as Butcher's last season.

    IMO if Stubbs manages to get us into the Prem (given our state last summer) it will exceed anything that GJP or Mowbray did in their time at Hibs.
