I see Shed's mate was bang on the money earlier.

Laxley have sold to a group of Rangers fans. Most likely the Douglas Park consortium.

Lutheran I hope.

On the subject of Italian stadiums the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is a bit of a dump as well.

Ach payback will be sweet. Not sure if I will live to see it. I neither seek or expect any empathy from any fan of other clubs.

According to a political historian Margaret Thatcher made enquiries about TV's being manufactured that would only receive commercial channels in order to give viewers an option not to pay the TV Licence. She viewed the licence as a form of taxation.

only show in town. No probs with any fans taking pleasure. Hopefully one day it will be reciprocated. I just wont spend too much time posting about or obsessing about it.

all done now. We chat about Rangers again sometime? Catch up later .

Three Cellick fans doing what comes naturally. Talking about .....us

don't have a clue what you are on about.Its an unhealthy obsession that Celtic fans have with Rangers. To the detriment of their own club. One would think they get more pleasure at the suffering of our club than the pleasure of seeing their own club doing well.

your are excited about playing a team who are 11th in Serie A?

We are based in the midlands. Normally drive to games.

BBC reporting the Rangers board will respond positively to the Douglas Park consortium offer. Lets wait and see if conditions are attached.

laughing at your own jokes now? Is that what a 0-0 draw with Ross County does to you? What's the match day experience like at Paradise these days?

in the context of why he is being sold and the refusal to consider alternative funding sources the fee is low compared to what he could be worth in a couple of years. Total disaster .

Deal done I think. Some of the lunatics in our support are blaming boycotting fans for MacLeods sale.Conveniently forgetting the £20m on the table from other parties. What have this board got to hide?

Sherwood will get it. Pulis cant handle the director of football structure at West Brom. Its all or nothing for Pulis.

spare the the continued lectures please. Its mind numbingly boring.We know where we are.

I agree with you on one thing. Circumstances have dictated the fee. However if and its a big if we got promoted I would guarantee he would go for double that value at least. I would hope we have a sell on fee as he will move on in time.

Lewis MacLeod in London for talks today with Brentford according to reports. £1m apparently being mentioned.

From the Daily Record PANIC-stricken chairman David Somers pleaded for someone to save Rangers from financial meltdown in the New Year – by sending out begging letters at 4am on Boxing Day. Record Sport understands Somers sent the emails to a number of wealthy individuals in a bizarre early morning attempt to raise the millions needed to keep the Ibrox club in business in January. The cash appeal – which indicates the high level of boardroom concern at the club’s latest plight – was launched just two days after the SFA blocked Mike Ashley’s plan to plough around £8million into the club by taking his holding up to 29.9 per cent. And the apparent urgent nature of this latest move has shocked those potential saviours who woke on Boxing Day to discover they had been contacted by the man at the head of the crisis-hit regime. It’s understood Somers asked all the various parties, including Sales Sharks owner Brian Kennedy, if they would be prepared to step into Ashley’s shoes by underwriting a share issue and snapping up more than 40 million new shares. Failing that, Somers asked if any of them would be willing to lend large amounts of emergency cash to the club on a secured basis. As of last night, there was no indication that Somers had been successful with either request. Last night the Rangers chairman could not be contacted. The move came after a trio of wealthy Rangers fans, Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor, put together an offer of £6.5m to underwrite the anticipated emergency share issue in an attempt to win control of the club back from Sports Direct magnate Ashley. A separate offer of £16m in funding from South African-based businessman Dave King remains on the table despite being rejected by the Rangers board two months ago when they chose instead to accept a drip feed of crisis loans from Ashley.

Good summary from Richard Wilson here on what may lie in store in 2015. "The situation is clear yet complicated. Rangers need money urgently and the fans want to see change in the boardroom. Ashley effectively controls the club, but cannot invest further in return for shares without attracting SFA sanctions - although he can try to legally challenge the ruling. A group of Rangers fans want to invest, but that would lessen the control of those currently in the boardroom. The stage is set for further turmoil." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30628144

Lewis MacLeod in London today for a medical with Brentford according to reports. Deal expected to be £1m. Shocking return for a superb prospect. I think this board are cashing in on playing assets before they don't have an opportunity to make these decisions. One would a least hope there is a sell on clause.

Great stuff on BBCi player at the moment. Kate Bush Story and also Serial (Radio). Recommend both.

Risk considered low. Seems to have passed through screening undetected . Sky is now wall to wall panic mode.Looks like patient will be transferred to London.
