Superstar Tradesman Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 Must be tough for genuine life-long huns though. What we would do if the Dons were being run into the ground by many different people, but in order to keep the club afloat it required bums on seats every 2 weeks! It would be extremely tough on the fans. There are many life-long huns that still believe that they'll be back to where they were at some point. There is a certain amount head-in-the-sand about that fantasy but given their fan-base then it could easily be a reality. The problem is that they haven't addressed the problem that led them to where they are today. They're still spending way more than they need to and using funds that they simply do not have. Realistically if someone with a few quid bought the club over, started with a clean slate, paid marginally more for players than the rest of the league that they are currently in, pinching the cream of the crop like they used to and worked their way up the leagues with a tight reign on the finances, bankrolled by their huge, deluded fan-base, then there's no reason they couldn't pick up steam very quickly and be 'back where they should be' at the top of our league. Luckily for us they have no idea how to do this without spending money they do not have. Until they pull the plug once and for all then I'm still not convinced that isn't a possiblity. Quote

It would be extremely tough on the fans. I'd like to think we'd have shown far more humility from the outset of the situation. Something they haven't done from top to bottom of that wretched club. Even Dave King, the crook, said that whatever happened to the huns, they'd all - supporters, board, management, players - have to show a greater degree of humility this time round. But in their true spirit, they've done nothing of the sort and instead acted as they always have; with a sickening belief of entitlement as they try to bully and railroad their way around Scottish football, giving not a second thought to the integrity of the game or to the people and companies they owe substantial amounts of cash to.

Madbadteacher Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 From BBC Cash-strapped Rangers have cancelled Christmas at Ibrox, with non-executive director Derek Llambias sending an email to staff telling them there will be none of the usual seasonal gifts and no party this year. Aye that'll save them And Former Celtic midfielder Stiliyan Petrov reckons the collapse of Rangers has hit Celtic hard in terms of their readiness to compete on the European stage. Excuses from the apologist other arse-cheek Quote
BigAl Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Keep up Kow Strange timing given they have a game tonight. Kind of explains why Butcher withdrew his Motherwell application Quote
tom_widdows Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Keep up Kow Strange timing given they have a game tonight. Kind of explains why Butcher withdrew his Motherwell application Well it takes a while to cash cheques for £1.4million so he'll be wanting to get the process started before the Christmas shut down Quote
BigAl Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Well it takes a while to cash cheques for £1.4million so he'll be wanting to get the process started before the Christmas shut down Reports are apparently as of yet unconfirmed and now saying he has tendered his resignation Quote

tom_widdows Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 First of the rats abandoning the sinking ship? Nope Some boy called Norman Crighton (Non Exec Director) jumped 2 days ago after 1 year in the job Quote
Kowalski Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Surely to fuck Butcher is not stupid enough to get involved!? Quote
tlg1903 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Hmmmmmm the article on the beeb says that he has offered to walk but it's yet to accepted and he's still expected be charge tonight. It also says he would be due a settlement, I was under the impression that a voluntary resignation meant you got no pay off. I wonder if the board is going to reject his resignation, the fans then lay off fat sally and the board takes his flak instead for not accepting Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Some hun colleagues seem to think this is the end of a 12 month notice period and therefore, was always going to happen. Not sure about that one though. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 If it's a "rolling contract" and he has handed in his notice now, does that mean he's going to be there for another 12 months (well, let's be honest, 12 weeks before they go tits up again) then go? I do hope so. Time to bring in John Brown! Quote
Kowalski Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 BBC Sport understands Rangers will reject Ally McCoist's letter of resignation. Most of the board are in London for the next 48 hours and no talks are planned. Quote

tom_widdows Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 It also says he would be due a settlement, I was under the impression that a voluntary resignation meant you got no pay off. Not in football seemingly Do shite and get sacked - Get your contract paid up Do shite and resign - Get your contract paid up It appears the only way you don't get paid off is if you are sacked due to a criminal charge (Seem to recall a dons player from the Mcghee era getting punted midway through the contract over an illegal drugs charge) Quote
manc_don Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30451727 I would love wise to be their next manager Quote
tlg1903 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 1 down to qots, they are laughably bad. I really wish the matchday announcer would play walk away by cast Quote
tlg1903 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Gift that keeps on giving Manc Quote
Jute Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 2-0 defeat. Fat Sally saying he wants to be Tribute Act manger going forward after game which was for a guy who is supposed to have resigned. Quote
Andrew Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 What a great score to look at when coming back from a night out. Didn't even know they were playing but what a great way to end an ok night out. Quote
