I was talking to my Rangers supporting Glasgow taxi driver today who told me these rumors come from 'The Darkside' of the city, and center around the fact that Rangers are loaning players into the club, and that breaches the rules of administration/liquidation in the eyes of 'The Darkside'.

He also added "*uck the darkside" its got nowt to do with that lot.

To quote the late Mandy Rice-Davies.... "Well he would say that wouldn't he"?:cool:


Moving on I wonder if there are any supporters / talk sport / Motd pundits / reporters etc out there who are constantly urging the owners of various clubs to spend spend spend ever consider that their club might be the next Rangers? Bloody great at spending other folks money aren't they? What they constantly forget is that football is a business and if businesses are to survive they have to balance the books and make profits at some time! Surely that isn't rocket science to anybody with a smidgeon of experience in business?

Debate on talksport Drive the other night seemed to be suggesting that if Lpool want to restore themselves to former glories that they should have resisted Barcas ludicrous 140m valuation of Phillipe Coutinho!!! This is despite them spending way more than their entire income from Premier League membership on Oxlaide-Chamberlain and Van Dyke. Fact is that Liverpool have outspent Arsenal and Spurs for years with very little to show for it. And the biter bit as we all know is that no one can live with the financial resources enjoyed by Man City whatever they do.

Now I might be wrong as I have never met StevieG but I don't really see manager material in him. If he see's his 4 year contract out I'll show my arse on the Town Hall steps. No doubt he's made sure that he has adequate funding and won't face a battle for ackers every time he wants to sign a player, in fact Gers might be looking at him as a way to sign any nearly men from Livvies academy. Truth is I don't believe that Gerrard has enough 'nous' or 'savvy' to motivate players and produce a winning collective. I'd imagine a lot rests upon McAllister's shoulders but tbh his managerial career record is somewhat less than inspiring after failing at Coventry and LUFC.
I'd put this down as just another example of the stupidity of both Directors and supporters in the never ending but totally misguided assumption that a great player will always make a great manager. Apart from a very few exceptions great players keep their brains in their boots, and when they hang them up, that's it.... Game over!

I see one of new Rangers manager Stephen Gerrard's daughter is called 'Lourdes'! :joy:

I think one of Madonna’s daughters is too. What’s so funny about that name?

Lourdes could run rings around Rangers commercially, in fact they have got it down to so fine an art, I am surprised anyone dies now

I will use this thread to say congratulations to Rangers. See how they do in the Champions league. If they qualify.
