    Instead of condemning behaviour or racist or bigoted views Rangers fan advise "think before you type anything on social media, it will back and bite you".

    Yes be careful with how you present the bile folks!

    Sooooo, where's this nomad King had lined up and was going to appoint last week??
    Maybe had some concerns about the type of director they have been appointing recently and the manner of their appointment - and ran a mile?

    It's interesting that the new guy actually resigned on Tuesday, although it took a few days for that to be announced. Perhaps the potential Nomad put some pressure on.

    Yep, very likely.

    Tends to suggest if one can be found they will probably have little influence with this type of client though. King will see it as just another box he needs to tick.

    Was told it was Rangers paying all their wages out of Ashley's loan.

    This was to use the loan up ASAP so they would need the next 5mil

    The source was from Newcastle but I'm not sure even Rangers would be that stupid so a bit sceptical as to the accuracy

    Would be hilarious if true however
    So Ashley loans The Rangers money, then loans them some players which are then paid for by the loan he has already provided The Rangers which means he gets double benefit of said money and Rangers will actually be paying him twice with it, once on salaries for his own players and twice when they pay the loan back? Talk about finding ways to make your money go further ;-)

    This is how millionaires become gazillionaires. Find a cash cow (preferably one as thick as pigsh*t), and milk it 'til it's dry

    Actually three ways! When a The Rangers fan goes out and buys a The Rangers top and gets the name Vuckic on the back he gets a huge lump of the profit through sports direct and owning the club logos etc! Man has run rings around them, probably just for a bit of fun in his spare time ;-)

    Dave King has lifted the beleaguered Bears

    That's 3 good solid draws since he came in vs Cowdenbeath Livi & QoTS

    Was just thinking that, they are on some run since King (nearly) got on the board. One director appointed then departing for getting caught out making hun like comments and coming out undefeated since the King show began. I wondered if Johnny hun has worked out that the Newcastle guy they didn't want won them some of those points?

    I suppose its like taking and spending Ashleys money whilst simultaneously not wanting to be involved with Ashley. New
    name, new club, same bad habits.

    I would imagine that, on paper, there will be several decent players who are free agents but you've got to guess at the reason why they are available. They could be injured ; taking a sabbatical for the sake of it and because they don't need the cash ; too greedy and won't play for anything less than they're accustomed to ; they've lost their hunger and passion for the game. Add any other reasons to that list but, bottom line, I don't think there will be a long queue of candidates waiting to join that rancid club.

    Jim, depends on what money is on offer.
    Most free agents are not likely to be match fit for a bit anyway.
    Are they able to do emergency loans? If they can, is this only from Scottish clubs?

    Yes and yes. Actually I think they may not be able to do even them in the last couple months of the season, unless they have a genuine goalie emergency.

    McCall saying how little the Toon five can offer him - "Remie Streete is out with illness and injury, Kevin Mbabu is lacking match football, Shane Ferguson I don't think has even been across the border and has a long-term knee injury. Bigirimama has a medical condition and is seeing a consultant up here but I doubt he will be available in the near future." Good old Ashley.
    Ferguson is in the NI squad to play Scotland which seems a bit odd.

    That certainly contradicts McCall's understanding of the situation. I smell scheite. Either the NI selectors are out of touch or McCall might playing mind games.

    Or he's been told he can't play him

    What chance any Rangers benefits in the chancellor's giveaway budget!

    - tax relief for all newly formed football boards
    - 30 day amnesty to remove unwanted onerous contracts
    - wages benefit for all new out of contract signings
    - all sports direct profits subject to a Rangers tax
    - free nomad for all new companies with 150 year history

    Few of these players have since found clubs but gives you a idea -

    They could get Chris Killen & Rudi Skacel

    Did Dave King take trusted journos out for a lamb dinner before returning home? Is there a limit to how many days he can spend in Scotland for tax reasons?

    It does seem bizarre that his coup has resulted in so much noise and so little action. Oh and rumours of falling behind with HMRC too. It's like Craig Whyte all over again.

    I hope this is true.
    Would be amazing if they went into admin. Same club would mean more points deduction. Though sadly it would mean we wouldn't get to cuff them in the play offs ;)

    I got a pile of abuse on a Zombie facebook post for suggesting that in their desperation to get rid of the last lot they were not giving due diligence to what they were putting in their place. Two games into the new regime and already its looking like another meltdown.

    NOTE: .... I was going to use the Jobby hitting the fan smilie from the H.Net smilies list, but its blocked by the swear filter .... ?

    That link should have a warning!! Did you check out some of the followers he has. Some very colourful uniforms and sashes. I feel filthy now just by looking at it. By the way the natives are not only restless they are totally revolting.

    Tax reasons? All the indications from South Africa are that he doesn't do paying tax.
