Five matches without a win in the SPL
for Ross County and three defeats on the bounce. I'm from Dundee and with the signings they've made and players coming back from injury think RC are a good bet to go down. 8-1 best odds I can see.

My bets today are Football: Sevco/Stirling both to score at about 5/4.
Wee Stirling are bottom of div 3 but have scored 9 goals in 6 games, and we all know Sevco are poor away and lose goals and we have another plastic pitch, Sally will highlight this before game.

Tomorrow Arc De Triomphe have an each way bet
on Yellow and Green 28/1 at Paddy Power. Being
tipped up in some quarters. Timalloy

Fans Meeting With Charles Green At Ibrox

Quote
CHARLES Green, Brian Stockbridge and Imran Ahmad last night met several Scottish-based representatives from the Rangers community at Ibrox. The trio gave a presentation to the assembled delegates.

GREEN discussed several issues, including how he came about being involved in the consortium.

Ahmad approached Green in February as Zeus were thinking about putting a deal together. Initially Green said no, but then looked at it and between them and they started putting a team together to takeover Rangers. They asked some investors to put some money in with very little details, and they showed this money to Duff & Phelp who then started to take them seriously. Over the next few months and the consortium paid £250k deposit, a total of £5.5M for the club and gave D&P another £500k to help pay the wages for May.

It was also made clear that the club owns the Ibrox and the training complex at Auchenhowie 100%, again threw out allegations of Whyte's involvement.

Green mentioned the treatment from other clubs and the Scottish Football Association:

UEFA meeting and no club could believe what had happened to us and treatment by SFA. One club commented that they had been bribing referees and did not get treated that badly.
Green said only 5 clubs wanted to kick us out of SPL, with another 5 wanting to abstain. We asked them to stop passing buck and make a decision, and the other 5 reluctantly voted against.


Green then went onto outline his future plans for the club. These included:

The owners want to get more non-exec directors on board for good governance. No single investor will be allowed more than 10%.
Over 5 million worldwide fan base: wants to include them all much better than before.
Green has agreed a deal to buy Edmiston House from Murray. This will see the Ticket office moving to where superstore is now. The Megastore will move to bottom 2 floors of Edmiston House. The upper floors are to be converted into a sports bar.
The club is committed to ensuring our merchandise is readily available in USA. Former Ibrox favourite Reyna is going to help us create academies in USA, and Bocanegra will join him once he hangs up his boots. The club believes the American market to be massive.
The Asian Market is well known to our investors. This Market is seen as the biggest upcoming market, Rangers are going to get involved in a big way. The club is currently looking at partners to develop brand/ tours etc.
As previously known the JJB deal terminated has been terminated and replaced by Sports Direct. Green wants to get back to 2005 levels of retail sales of £20M and profit of £5.6M per annum. The new deal with Sports Direct will help us do this. The club has been talking to Adidas, Puma and Nike about taking over Umbro deal which has been terminated, an announcement is expected soon! Puma are probably the favourites due to connections with Sports Direct.
The club believes media rights are going to be huge over next decade, i.e TV migrating to web. Rangers are in talks with TV and tech companies. It is expected that media income alone will reach £100M within 10 years. Looks at example of the Champions League final which generated £1.7B.
Green believes there will be a Euro league of sorts within a few years and that RFC will be a part of it, citing that the global fan base is too big to exclude us. Green also alluded to The Champions League which would be worth £20M income to club per season.
The Club are going to revalue property assets at more realistic £30-40M in next balance sheet. The players are worth £2M on the balance sheet.
We have a strong youth player base, in 3 years we will have 6 under 22 players with over 100 appearancess, this experience will stand club in good stead.
In January 2012 the wage bill was £30M per annum. It is now £6M per annum. Policy to bring in players on good wages (£20k pw) but not pay large fees we don't get back. Looking to bring in 10 players like that between now and top league return, making max wage bill of £16M per annum. Ally McCoist believes title winning squad achievable under that budget.


It seemed to be a very productive meeting for all concerned. A proper, 21st century football business model has been created, in my opinion it will put Rangers light-years ahead of every other Scottish club and closer to the Global� football brands such as Man United, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

All sounds perfectly credible that is until the liquidators get started next week and declare the whole sham null and void. Even chuckie seems resigned to it now good ol' gratuitous alienation

Looking at this drivel, you could say Cheese Green is a fantasist. I Think he's just a salesman. He's the sort of guy who'll come round and sell your gran a stairlift, even though she lives in a bungalow. He is telling a support who have been through the wringer watching the club they love being destroyed by selfish egotists and they are clinging on to the words of this guy as if he was their new messiah. If the bear on the street is stupid enough to plough their hard earned into this joker's pot, they deserve all they get. He will walk away with his cash plus some, but the new Rangers or whatever they will be allowed to call themselves will always have the shadow of dodgy dealings associated with them.
I for one don't miss old firm games, they were always hyped to the max, but were seldom classics. We should move on in our different direction, and concentrate on qualifying for Europe every year. I would rather have a Champions league tie than an old firm game any day of the week. Let's be honest here, if we were to meet them in the cup, it would be a good build up to the game, but going with current form, it would be embarrassing for them. Let them get on with their "rebuilding process", I will lay odds right now they will be in the financial myre by the end of the season.

Does he have a share issue to promote or something ...just wondering lol.

Who knew Scottish football could be so lucrative ~ Mrs E

The massive USA and Asian markets currently buy all the Rangers merchandise they ever will. Especially losing in div3 with a cheating brand.
£20m every year from European football? No Europe for minimum 4 years and Ally couldn't qualify for group stages with £50m squad. How is he gonna do it with £16m squad.
If this was a new business business plan, it would get ripped to shreds by Scottish enterprise.

So out of all the sports clubs in the world Chinese guys and guys in Michigan, LA, Miami, etc... Are all going to buy Rangers stuff and become Rangers supporters? Nonsense chuckie, nonsense.

Well known Scottish comedian Glinty McGreen saying he wants to work with SFA to rebuild the Scottish game. Lol so funny....... When did the Scottish game break? Must've missed that. Scottish champions flowing in the CL, plenty money in the SFL from the pockets of a new club's fans..... The Scottish game is in rude health.

Isn't it it strange after the announcement that Hampden is to close for a year forcing all games during that year to take place elsewhere Glinty wants to make peace with SFA........DH

Yeah I noticed that one mate, it's pathetic int it? He's an ar*ehole crawler of the lowest order. An ugly, arrogant mouthpiece who talks and lets his ar*e rumble almost daily.

Smaller international games cld b spread to Aberdeen & edi. Got Celtic park, murrayfield for big crowd international n cup games. No need for a run down ground to b involved. Stevo dundee

I honestly thought Glinty might have been good for The rangers and scottish football when he pitched up.Sorry to say his true colours(and it aint the colour of his money)are showing through........green jhedi

05 Oct 2012 09:23:23
Well it's back.According to that most reliable of newspapermen(Wait a minute he cant find employment in the trade due to thirst based issues) Leggat, the ibrokes casino is coming soon.Murray will give Glinty the old edmiston club to convert into a scaled down version of Murray's grandiose plan of the ibrokes village.Im sure the council scuppered the last chancer to try this because of the casino at the Quay? It would appear that sneaky ally,who is a great friend of leggat,must be pumping Glinty's propaganda for him as leggat slated Glinty for months but has been very quiet of late regarding Glinty.More laughs to follow im sure.........green jhedi

05 Oct 2012 11:17:33
Hey Green Jhedi, yes I saw all the proposals my first thoughts were "jackanory, jackanory" lol
But some other wit came up with these wee gems...
If Apple are in business with Sevco surely the renaming of the stadium should be IPROD......
Also would ORANGE not be better business partners for the MASS( oops sorry ex bears) hordes. They could call the stadium the Pay as you go stadium"
just in case they "forget" again to pay their bills lol Timalloy
