    If anyone thinks The Rangers led by Dave King would do anything to help the overall development of Scottish football, they need to have a word with themselves.

    Promotion would be just the start - we'd then have to listen to weekly demands for this or that, all to benefit The Rangers at the expense of others.

    Fortunately, most fans can see through the utterly transparent attempts to promote The Rangers at any cost.

    There is real dichotomy in that the lying king and the blazers want to build bridges but the majority of their support want to destroy every club ( more or less every one ) that stood against them during their suicide and, by definition, Scottish football. Both will fail unless the lying king can persuade the muppets to denounce their past, ill-gotten trophies and titles, which he won't. The simplest solution is for the lot of them to go into a corner and rot away.

    'What happened to Rangers FC was politically motivated?'


    A title of a thread running for a couple of days, on FF. More or less discussing how the SNP, Labour Party and the Catholic church contrived to destroy their club. Every bad thing that happened to them was initiated by these nasty people, even down to arranging for Green, White and assorted bogeymen to infiltrate their club and cause havoc. Dan Brown would have had his work cut out to write the script.

    I don't think King wants to build bridges at all. It's just that he has belatedly realised he is holding a weak hand and he needs support from others. Stewart Milne has stepped up, and has rightly been criticised by his own fanbase for doing so.

    The Lying King, other directors and spokespeople for that have threatened all sorts, even recently.

    They're as bad, if not worse than the support!

    Agreed. No one at Ibrox is in the slight bit interested in other SPFL clubs, other than Celtic. We're nothing more than a necessary evil to them, and they'd sell us all out in a heartbeat to move to England. Ibrox directors have looked over the hill and panicking at the thought to being left on the lower divs for another season. If not for that, they'd be just like their fans, gobbing on us from above.

    Reminded me of this guy.

    Watch it right through and you'll see their views are nothing new.

    Whatever happened to that pesky £ 5 million that had been lodged in a bank ready to forward to Sports Direct.

    Has it been lost again

    Or maybe waiting until nearer Monday before releasing the good news of actually repaying somebody.

    Patience - it might only have taken King an hour and a half to raise the money but it takes ages to count it - £5m in coins, specially after they've been gathering dust, alcohol, blood, puke, spit etc lying in bottles in bar-tops, hospital-depts, schools, churches etc throughout Govan for years, is no easy task ..........

    Borrowed it from themselves, and now the music has stopped they're all looking around yam style for how to actually realise the cash and then repay it.

    All big teams do it, or at least talk about it.

    Notice the Thes did not say payment had been made, but that it had been 'sent'.

    So 2nd class stamp, posted on 24th December. Wonder how many days it will take to arrive.

    He he that's 5 mill less in their non existent war chest.

    However I really do believe after Hibs hump them Monday and Falkirk go level on points with them they'll be funds available. Not sure where the funds will come from but that's never been a problem before.

    The Rangers' statement is that the loan from Sports Direct has been repaid, but I thought that the £5m was loaned by MASH Holdings. Could there be any significance in this or are the two the same?

    The loans are all due to Sports Direct according to Company House

    I think the first loan of £2-3m was from MASH holdings but then SD loaned £5m on condition the MASH loan was paid back.

    Maybe the £5M is the first installment of The Lying King's fabled £40M/£30M investment.
