What else has he done that&#8217;s so bad? Are you serious? <laugh>

Anyhoo, I can see I&#8217;m wasting my time even responding to you as your first instinct seems to be to go on the attack even if someone (in this case me) makes a wholly reasonable suggestion.

Your defence mechanism seems to be &#8220;Don&#8217;t let anyone talk about anyone involved with Rangers, even if it is the man who has shafted Rangers, David Murray&#8221;.

My opinion of the takeover is based on MY opinion, and speculation is clearly defined in the dictionary if you would bother to look.

Speculate
1. To meditate on a subject; reflect.
2. To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence

Speculation is seldom (if ever) based on &#8220;fact&#8221;, and as I have already explained I never claimed my opinion was based upon facts anyway, the suggestion I made regarding Llloyds was based upon the evidence currently available.

As for MY negativity towards Murray, is your belief based upon FACT or are you now indulging in the &#8220;speculation &#8220;that you readily criticise others for?


What a pointless post. What have you achieved there except back up what I already said. No facts or examples of said naughtyness...

I know what speculation means flower, you don't need to get smart about it, I think you'll find I said you were speculating on speculation hence growing arms and legs to a story which wasn't based on any known facts and then you try to explain to me that speculation seldom involves facts?!?!? wtf!

Ps when did I attack you?
 
Why don't you use this positively, next year, apply to join the Conference League in England, field a team of good 17 year olds and who ever you have left that wants to play for you, then try to work your way up to the EPL, thats what you've always wanted and it would really put one over on Celtic.
I reckon in maybe 5 years you could change the face of Scottish football.

I’m not really of a mind to explain simple concepts to you, especially when you say things like “Speculating on speculation”, and that you are all for “Opinions as long as they are based on facts”. You are in actual fact guilty of speculating on where my opinions were formed and on what basis, that is your opinion and it is not based on any facts unless you are laying claim to having Psychic abilities?

You posts are a torrent of contradictions, as for attacking me? You have said I’m talking **** (again that is an opinion not based upon any fact that I’m aware of unless you have proof which directly disproves what I have suggested) and that I’m a “half baked moron”.

Dev - you're speculating on speculation! hence "mud slinging" or in laymens terms, talking s**t.

I'm all for opinions provided they're based on fact.

Your opinion of the take over situation is based on someone else's opinion, speculating on speculation. I don't care what any half baked moron says now, they didn't know either.

If you honestly don’t know what Murray has done wrong then I’m certainly not going to waste my time explaining it to you.
 
I think Murray is held up as a hero by Rangers fans because he brought some good times to the club. However a lot of his business interests are failing miserably and must be hurting his personal wealth. Only this week he has closed the doors on another three branches of his Steel Stockholding organisation. He is first and foremost a businessman and I find it very hard to believe that he had the "best interests" of your club foremost in his mind when he sold it to Craig Whyte. Moreover he had the best interests of David Murray in mind.
As I stated in my earlier post, there is going to be a very painful process ahead but when you come through it you will be a much stronger business and club. I hope you get the right owners and they run it sensibly on your behalf.
 
ok, i was gonna let this one fly because you're going round in circles and i couldn't be bothered replying to your individual points using my phone, its too tedious. But i've nipped on the wee tablet to send a work email so here we go...

I’m not really of a mind to explain simple concepts to you, especially when you say things like “Speculating on speculation”, what? what concepts require explanation?... and whats wrong with writing "speculating on speculation"?and that you are all for “Opinions as long as they are based on facts”. again, whats your point?...You are in actual fact guilty of speculating on where my opinions were formed NO! you said earlier that it was based on pundits... "I hear a lot of pundits saying that Murray" so was that BS that you just wrote then?... and on what basis, that is your opinion no its not, check the bit just there ^^^^^^ and it is not based on any facts unless you are laying claim to having Psychic abilities?

You posts are a torrent of contradictions, haha, thats rich...as for attacking me? You have said I’m talking **** you are, see above ^^^(again that is an opinion not based upon any fact that I’m aware of unless you have proof which directly disproves what I have suggested) meh, ^^^^and that I’m a “half baked moron”. i never called you that, i said anyone who claims to have forecast the situation rangers are in just now is a half baked moron, its upto you whether you want to put yourself in that bracket by claiming you were correct all along...


If you honestly don’t know what Murray has done wrong then I’m certainly not going to waste my time explaining it to you.its funny, you're the 3rd person today to claim murray did all this bad stuff and you're the 3rd person to leave it at "well if you don't know..." coincidence?...



PS. you are my second favourite tim behind simon bhoy. i just wish you could take a few steps towards his style and away from harryhoods...

One quick question and then I'm done (I don't think I've asked any).

Do you believe that Rangers were not on the verge of administration before Whyte took over?
 
No you're not, read your question again...

Oh dear.

You've discovered a misunderstanding where there is none.

Your yes means "I, Chapper, do not believe that Rangers were on the verge of administration until Craig Whyte took over."

Out of the 70 million potential tax bill (among other things), it was the 9 million that made the difference?

Similarly, the £138m (or whatever it is) debt isn't what has killed Rangers - according to the club it's a £160k fine that's done it.

Enjoy yourselves <ok>

Concepts like &#8220;Speculating on speculation&#8221; which is what you accused me of?

YOU are speculating or &#8220;Guessing&#8221; to be more accurate because you have nothing upon which to base your speculation.

Where did I say that these &#8220;Pundits&#8221; were the people who provided me with the basis of my speculation (or theory)? That&#8217;s right, I didn&#8217;t

If you had bothered to read what I actually said then you would have long since stopped digging that hole you are in.

So let me spell it out for you.

&#8220;NO PUNDITS&#8221; have suggested that Lloyds were applying pressure because of the upcoming EBT cases. That's right, no one. It is a theory of mine based upon the evidence that is already in the public domain.

I have neither read nor heard anyone else suggest this may have been reason, so if you are so confident that I am speculating based upon speculation??? Feel free to tell me who&#8217;s speculation I am speculating on.

In other words, whose Ideas/conspiracies have I stolen?
 
Is that all Murray did?

Sold to the wrong person?

FFS chaps <laugh>

you also asked that question by the way...

Oh dear.

You've discovered a misunderstanding where there is none. oooorrrrrr you don't understand your own question?...

Your yes means "I, Chapper, do not believe that Rangers were on the verge of administration until Craig Whyte took over." my yes means only yes. you've confused yourself within your own question, don't try to turn it on me

Out of the 70 million potential tax bill (among other things), it was the 9 million that made the difference?

duh. you don't go into admin for "potentials"

Similarly, the £138m (or whatever it is) debt isn't what has killed Rangers - according to the club it's a £160k fine that's done it.

what £138m pound debt? take out the tax "potential" and ticketus fiasco (which whyte should pay, who the f**k lends money to someone against an assest they don't yet own) and you'll find the net debt is similar to that of celtic FACT.

Enjoy yourselves <ok>
 
Concepts like “Speculating on speculation” which is what you accused me of? is that a concept is it?...

YOU are speculating or “Guessing” to be more accurate because you have nothing upon which to base your speculation. i'm doing neither, i'm replying to the words right in front of me...

Where did I say that these “Pundits” were the people who provided me with the basis of my speculation (or theory)? That’s right, I didn’t
your opening line...

Something occurred to me recently.

I hear a lot of pundits saying that Murray had the debt under control (lowered to £18m) and Lloyds had agreed to accept repayment of £1m each year to service the debt.

wtf?... are you not speculating on what the pundits are saying?


If you had bothered to read what I actually said then you would have long since stopped digging that hole you are in. i'm in a hole?...

So let me spell it out for you.

“NO PUNDITS” have suggested that Lloyds were applying pressure because of the upcoming EBT cases. That's right, no one. It is a theory of mine based upon the evidence that is already in the public domain. lets see some of this evidence then, copy/paste isn't hard...

I have neither read nor heard anyone else suggest this may have been reason, so if you are so confident that I am speculating based upon speculation??? Feel free to tell me who’s speculation I am speculating on.

In other words, whose Ideas/conspiracies have I stolen? you're talking to me about having to explain concepts etc and you come out with those last few lines! haha you've gone from "speculating on speculation" to "in other words copying ideas/conspiracies" like they are the same thing!!!!!! If you were copying you wouldn't be speculating!!!

for about the 3rd attempt, your wee story is the "spectulation" and your are speculating on stories/view of pundits as quoted above which are also just speculation, ie no proof of said agreements between lloyds murrays and any pressures which were applied. hence "speculating on speculation"
