I think DD wants to sell. Its the only thing that makes some sort of sense of how the board are acting. Get the club in rude financial health and then flog it. |

It would kind of put everything in to perspective if it was plausible that DD had been wanting to sell for a number of years but had decided to put the football on the back burner and get PL to do a hatchet job on the club to make it an easy sell. If it is the case, then I reckon we will have a new owner by the start of next season. The club would be in great shape financially, its main rivals would be back in business, increased exposure due to the huns games. Likelihood of another CL qualifier to negotiate. What with the money that we can make selling players to English clubs, which will like become our main source of income over the next 10 years then we could represent a fairly good buy for someone. And thats when it would get really interesting. If.. of course. |

This transfer window looks like being Peter Lawwell's version of the Mowbray St Mirren match.. Spanked senseless and left looking like a prat. |

If they really want to sell then I don't think they would really care. DD will know that a new owner throwing some cash at the team would no doubt bring everyone back to see what the fuss is about so its unlikely he would give a shampoo about declining attendances. The manner in which the club is being run does not suggest that the owner has a long term plan other than to stabilise it enough to make a sale. I've heard from people at the company I work for suggest that they are making huge cut backs on staff and streamlining roles to an almost impossible working level so that they can record decent financial figures and sell it on.. I immediately thought of Celtic and realised it makes a lot of sense. PL is getting paid obscene amounts of money, and it could well be because he is on a hiding to nothing and that he his actually carrying out the job he was asked to do.. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The board are lying through their teeth about what is happening because they don't give a shampoo. Incredibly smart Billionaires do not suddenly become this stupid. |

Who would the new owner likely be, and would they make all that much of a difference? Unless it was some madcap billionaire - which comes with its own problems - then we'd likely get more of the same. |

One flaw in that. The huns aint coming back any day soon. The SFA can give them as much mouth to mouth resuscitation but they will just get back up and shoot themselves in the head. They'll sale off their stadium to get cash, crowds will dwindle and they'll end up with a real boycott this time and minus x number of points. |

I think it was good that Lawwell took time out, near the end of a pretty important transfer window, to basically tell us that, in his estimation, he is not a tadger. |

Yeah well, so far they have walked up the leagues and I've read countless tales over the last few years of how they are dead, dying, dying again, definitely dead, definitely dying again, dead dead dead, or just effed in general. They will probably be back next year, courtesy of late penalty in the play offs after Hearts win the league. Scottish football doesn't need Rangers, but you get the feeling that deep down it wants them. Edited by Gonga, 31 Aug 2014, 10:31 PM.

We're not a cash cow. Nothing like that at all. In fact, we'd be a horrible investment from a pure financial perspective. |

In amongst all this cost cutting - Naemoneyball (as Bawman or somebody termed it) and the inability to pay the Living Wage which Club recently held a fairly largely attended dinner (which it was hoped would be kept quite) to honour a certain Financial Director's 20 years at said Club. Clue - It wasn't Sevco |

Pathetic. And one assumes plenty employees of said club, not earning the living wage, worked at this bash? |
