Stu, I'm not saying your are wrong about the whole thing being orchestrated. In fact, it may be being orchestrated at a deeper layer than any of us realise. The truth will out one day.

Anecdotal evidence, which I have heard often, is that a massive contingent come down from the North for Scotland games. The Tartan Army is made up largely from fans of the smaller clubs. Both Celtic, and particularly Rangers, are under-represented relative to their size of support.

"L&L let the corrupt (according to Tom Winnifrith) NOMAD go." Stu, why do you not understand that the NOMAD resigned. The NOMAD was not let go. Are you still holding on to the fantasy that a NOMAD cannot resign with immediate effect? We know now that they can. If you believe this was orchestrated, that's your conspiracy theory to promote. "King has done nothing" You got that bit right.

"No aqua I laughed at SoF for suggesting Mr King would oversee the loss of the NOMAD only for his heroes Lambias and Leach to be the guys in charge." Stu, I fully understand this is a blatant attempt to troll though I have to step in. You have worded this to suggest the loss of the NOMAD is the fault of L+L. You know fine this is not true. The NOMAD only left when it was clear King was going to win the vote. The NOMAD's issue was with King. Fact, and you know it. You can say what you like about L+L. They paid the bills, reduced the costs, secured loans, kept the NOMAD on side. What has King done?

The team to watch are Falkirk. They are playing Hearts next which is a tough gig. If the beat Hearts, the could go on a run. This weekend will be very informative. There are loads of classic "6 pointers" to come.

Hibs are a great bet. My old Dad is a Season Ticket Holder at Easter Road so sees more of them than I do. He is rarely taken to over confidence though said recently he would be gutted if Rangers finish 5th, he wants the chance to murder them over 2 legs.

"I think they miss being spanked on the pitch by us too - fear not wont be long.." Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa! Hilarious. I am sure the Celtic fans are not even a little afraid. I watch the so-called Old Firm game. It was men against boys - a rotten game on a rotten pitch where there was only one side trying to play football. Celtic didn't even need to try in the 2nd half and cruised to the final whistle in 1st gear. If you seen anything else then you are deluded.

"I'm sure the Court of Session would not have proceeded if the asset belonged to another party" What a load of nonsense. The Court of Session will not make a decision on ownership or the Contingent Liability mentioned in the accounts unless asked. It was not asked. You are taking 2+2 and coming up with 1872 as usual. If you don't understand how these things work, why comment?

Stu - "I think it should rightly be 60 days or so before that happens." How can you wait 60 days when the money runs out this week? Where does the money come from to keep the lights on and pay the wages in the meantime?

cambridgeblue, you are exactly correct. I don't care enough to ask myself, but I am curious as to why no Rangers fans / shareholders are asking the most obviously questions. We have RNS that says money runs out in 3rd wk March. We have had nothing since to confirm where the money is coming from. Silence is not proof of a problem. It may be that a solution is already in place, with contingencies just in case. Would you like to know what those plans are? Don't you care enough to ask / demand?

cambridgeblue, in all honesty, I don't care enough to ask. I don't have enough invested and I enjoy the soap opera too much. Can you say the same?

cambridgeblue, you are right about one thing - silence is not evidence of anything. That said, this is the new Board that promised transparency. I remind you of an RNS recently: "The Board of Rangers announces that the Company has commenced the process of satisfying the conditions for drawdown of the second tranche of the facility announced on 27 January 2015 with SportsDirect.com Retail Limited and associated companies ("SD") (the "Facility") in order to meet its cash requirements for the third week of March. Drawdown of the second tranche of the Facility is subject to due diligence by SD. Shareholders should be aware that there are other conditions of drawdown which include a material and adverse change and/or significant, adverse event condition which could impact upon the willingness of SD to release the funds. If the funds are not able to be drawn down from the Facility, alternative sources of external funding will be required." This, if you check the calendar, is the 3rd week in March. Where is the money? How are the bills going to be paid? If you don't know, maybe you should ask someone? It would seem to be important. Just saying.

"chasing parked cars" - what on earth does that mean? Delisting would be dreadful for all sorts of reasons. There is, of course, the amusement value presented by this forum. More importantly, it means an important layer of governance is removed. Rangers fans and shareholders should be demanding news on a new NOMAD. Where is the "transparency" promised? If you don't have a NOMAD lined up, but are trying, why not say so?

Rangers are in serious trouble on the pitch. They have managed only 3 points from 3 games with the 3 bottom clubs. Rangers have matches to come with Hibs (6pts ahead with superior goal difference, played one more game), Queen of the South (5pts behind, inferior goal difference), Falkirk (6pts behind, inferior goal difference), and more concerning is they still have to play Hearts twice (too far ahead to think about). It is possible they may not make the play offs at all. I think Hearts can beat them twice and Hibs will beat them too. Games against QoS, Falkirk and Raith will make of break it. These teams all have to play each other too, of course. It is a very interesting end to the season. If I was a betting man, I would back them for 3rd. It wouldn't be my first losing bet though.

There is no fiscal cliff, not while big Dave is around. Quote from an interview last year: "I've lost £20m in Rangers already and I'm happy to lose another £30m because I love the team." With £30M ready to be spent, Mr Ashley will soon be sent packing. Debts paid, stadium made beautiful again, bring the best players in the world together and put Celtic, then Europe, to the sword. Job done.

It was incredibly naïve from King to think a NOMAD he had slated would do anything other than what they promised - resign with immediate effect. Or, more likely, it was incredibly naïve for anyone to believe Mr King's version of events. Dave King asked fans to withhold money from the club, starve out the regime at the time. The result? The share price is driven down and he jumps in with a chunky share buy. He now has a nice paper profit on his investment. Coincidence? He called an EGM, asking people to vote for him as Chairman, only to find that he put that on hold once the votes were cast. He also stated he had a NOMAD lined up, then we find he didn't - again, after the votes are cast. Dave King clearly thinks honesty is optional. He has no issues with misleading people for his own gain. If the Rangers fans have not yet worked this out, they soon will. What other lies have been told. The biggest lie of all may be the availability of funds. Rumour has it that the current "investors" have money, but nothing like the quantum required. It will be the hapless fans who will have to bear the burden.

"The NOMAD was lost when the previous board was in place." Stu, what a ridiculous thing to say. It implies it is the fault of the old Board there is no NOMAD now. You are way off and you know it. The new Board were well warned that the NOMAD would resign if they came to power. It is absolutely the fault of the new Board if they can't find a NOMAD.

Excellent news, Chris Graham was never the right guy for this job. There must be a Rangers Fan Leader who is not stained by bigotry and racism? Just one?

I think you will find that it was the new board that chased away the NOMAD. Lambias and Leach secured a £10M loan facility from Sports Direct. Where's King's money? How much and where is it coming from? I would put L&L's Football / Sports Retail experience up against the current lot any day of the week. It would be "no contest".

Chris Graham is a terrible appointment. The man is a racist and bigot, self-confessed so no chance I will get into trouble for saying so. My Brother-in-Law is a Rangers season ticket holder and I couldn't possibly repeat what he said to me recently about Chris Graham! He is not well liked by many Rangers fans. I get tired of hearing rubbish like Champions League and "back where we belong" coming out of Rangers. The future for this Rangers is surely as a community club. I thought the recent reaching out to the trades community to help fix up Ibrox and Murray Park was one of the most positive things I have heard - a fantastic more. I have heard nothing from the Club about this. The Board needs to starting thinking "inclusive" and "community". Too many Own Goals at the moment.
