A shareholders action group has issued a £4 billion writ against four former directors of Royal Bank of Scotland.

The group claims that the bank's directors sought to mislead shareholders by misrepresenting the underlying strength of the bank and omitting critical information from the £12bn 2008 rights issue prospectus.

Oh Dear BoS surely to follow and Masterton surely to be collared. What's that also? Lying in share prospectus/ misrepresenting the company situation. Trifc's prospectus is full of it- debt free club? Go to jail.

Charles Green has asked Neil Alexander to show his commitment to the club by selling his car and house, as Chuckles wife fancies a new Prada bag and a weekend in Barbados.

Just reading greens statement on The rangers first honour one thing struck me. This is becoming uncannily like the Murray years. Some weeks ago green was seemingly at loggerheads with Malcolm Murray, this culminated in him threatening to resign if Murray was not removed. This would be the same Malcolm Murray green put in place, so it would be fair to assume they were on the same page regarding their club moving forward. Over the next few days we had hints in the written media regarding personal problems in Murray's private life. It seems he was not representing The rangers in the right manner, particularly in London, why the city was mentioned is any ones guess, and green was not impressed.

This output of course is managed by jabba traynor. Jabba traynor was of course the primary cheerleader for David Murray. Jabba traynor ran, in a national newspaper, such stories as the floating pitch at ibrox. The magical casino complex to be built around ibrox which would transform rangers into major European players. And the never to be forgotten "billionaire with wealth off the radar" pap regarding Agent Whyte. Now we have the leaving of Neil Murray"by mutual consent" Who in their right minds, after being embarrassed by an investigation into their conduct, would leave a lucrative job by "mutual consent"?

None of these stories were followed up by any media in this country. They were regurgitated press releases printed in the next days chip wrappers. Add to the mix the Adidas deal, the Dallas cowboys link and greens constant condemnation of the game and it's governing bodies, and not one reporter has asked any pertinent question. A few weeks ago green announced a stadium naming deal, shirt sponsorship and kit sponsorship deal. Not one mention of the monies involved, which given the losses in the first six months of his company trading, might be quite important.

Murray's problems all started with a compliant media in Scotland. Fans of rangers sleepwalked into a nightmare because they swallowed every little bit of information Murray wanted them to hear. The similarities between then and now are incredible. So incredible that you would be forgiven for thinking Murray was pulling strings in the background. But we know that can't be true because green changed the name of Murray's legacy, Murray park obviously, as soon as the season ticket buyers voted. Did'nt he?. green jhedi

Having listened to the terrible Jim Duffy on snyde I always knew, that for a boyhood Celtic fan, he had an agenda against Celtic. Now it seems I was mistaken. He is just a nut case. It seems in the mind of Football genius, and CLYDE manager, Alex Ferguson is the "guvnor". Fair enough, his record is pretty impressive and as a man he is thoroughly decent human being. Duffy then claims next in line, as the "Godfather" of football, British no less, is Craig Brown! We know you have a grudge against Celtic for not giving you and your world class talent a chance Jim, but Brown ahead of Jock Stein! The same Jock Stein who Alex Ferguson refuses to be compared with? The same Jock Stein who influenced a generation of European coaches? You must have heard of him Jim, remember when you supported Celtic? Shockingly stupid. green jhedi

Just seen Chuckles statement about winning the 3rd Div. Couple of points I noticed are highlighted. No effort will be spared to improve the team. So no money spent.
Then this is a cracker The fans’ behaviour was a CREDIT to the Club, so to everyone involved I would like to say thank you and well done.

Is that a thank you for the Berwick Sing Song or the boycott of Dundee United.

CHARLES GREEN has issued the following statement:
“Rangers have won many championships and honours but I believe it would be wrong to underestimate the value of what has been achieved this season.
“Ally McCoist’s players have just secured the SFL third-division title and that is the first milestone on the road back to full recovery.
“It is a triumph which, in all honesty, cannot be held up beside the 54 top-flight championships but it is a triumph nonetheless and the manager and players are entitled to feel pride and happiness that they have completed the task.
“Of course we would all have preferred to have witnessed a more exciting brand of football but that will come. Some of the performances have been below what fans expect of a Rangers team and NO EFFORT will be spared to improve on that front.
“However, this Club’s fans have shown tremendous loyalty and as far as I am concerned they are the real stars.
“So, I want to make it clear this latest triumph is for each and every one of them and the other cups and titles I’m sure we’ll collect on our journey back to the pinnacle of Scottish football will also be for the finest support to be found anywhere in the game.
“My abiding memories of this season will be seeing Rangers fans enjoying themselves in bars and restaurants in towns I struggle to find even with the use of my sat nav and I must say we were given a great welcome everywhere.
“The fans’ behaviour was a CREDIT to the Club, so to everyone involved I would like to say thank you and well done.
“We have taken another significant step in the rebuilding process and that will continue.

Now the most pressing issue for us and for other clubs is league reconstruction which, of course, has turned into something of a fiasco.
“Today the SFA released results of a major survey which made it clear fans want to see an expanded top division and no more than three tiers. That is entirely consistent with my earlier proposal for 14-14-14 set up which is no more complicated than what is being currently proposed by the SPL.
“In fact, their notion of two divisions of 12 fragmenting into three of eight is more convoluted and isn’t something which appeals greatly to many of our clubs. Yet, if they vote this in they’ll be doing it out of fear of being left with the status quo because they have been told constantly no other option can work.
“That’s simply not true and it is comforting to know the fans can see that.
“Look, we are all agreed we must have change but it must be the correct change and it must be for the greater good of the game. It must not be for the few.
“That’s why the findings of this first ever Scottish National Football Survey shouldn’t be dismissed with mere platitudes. If the club’s are really listening to their fans they will act accordingly and do what is right.
“No matter what anyone says the current proposals will not give the fans what they are demanding. ”

Would like everyone's honest opinion. Now with CL over for us appears to be a lot of complaining whether its the squad or Lennon. I think that the problem us just a lack of interest now. Missing having the gers to compete with? I am and honestly thought this might happen. Jackie bhoy
