Perhaps because we are generally satisfied with his tenure so far and that questions like this are raised by others trying to artificially create a story. But I couldn't possibly comment on that. To clarify (again), we REALLY don't want to get into squillions of debt again and, when we have spent money (approximately £3m on transfer fees plus ancillary costs to date - my approximation only), we have been criticised. T'was always thus. *shrugs* So, I put it to you, tartandon (I surmise you are not a Rangers fan but appreciate that this is pure speculation on my part), what would you like The Glib and Shameless Liar (hiya Sheddy! ?) to do? Spend bazillions on players that we don't really need in one go, continue to upgrade the stadium, continue to incur legal fees fighting for an equitable marketing deal... what? hiya wolfy!

I think the parent company Rockstar are new York based though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FOI requests have all came back saying that the roof is fine and there is a valid safety certificate on it until the end of the season. Do you really think that if the roof was in such a state where it posed a threat to public safety that the government, the council, health and safety, the police, the spfl and so on wouldn't do something about it rather than let 50k people turn up every other week and just hope for the best? They certainly know about the rumours from the attention it has had in the press, letters of 'concern' etc. that they have had from fans of other clubs. The only reason it is still hanging around is because people want to believe it, that doesn't make it true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had a number of FOI requests about the condition of the roof. The government have investigated the situation after receiving the requests. If they found that there was something to be concerned about I am sure that they would pass on their concerns to the relevant parties rather than doing nothing.

But as I say the scale of the problem wont be known until rangers start the job to fix whatever is wrong with the roofs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
