    Is there any depths to which Leggo will not stoop to try and score points, it really is ridiculous. I would not be at all surprised if he is physically assaulted in the near future...not that I would condone it you understand.

    Someone else could read that and suggest an inference to physical attack there. I, on the other hand, couldn't possibly comment.

    Naismith came up from Liverpool for this charity event. Fair play for that. Chico Verde and feathers in pockets...doofus.

    Cheating little **** will probably write this off as a tax break<grr>

    Scotland footballer Steven Naismith is to host a charity lunch where he will buy Christmas dinner for homeless people at a shelter.

    The Everton striker is set to fund the event which is similar to the charity work he did in Glasgow while playing for Rangers.

    Naismith, 26, is hoping to continue raising awareness of homelessness by supporting the lunch at Liverpool&#8217;s Whitechapel Centre, while still funding the Loaves and Fishes charity in Glasgow.

    A statement on the Whitechapel Centre&#8217;s website says: &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t be happier that Steven has chosen The Whitechapel Centre to host his meal for the homeless of our city, and those who use our services feel exactly the same.


    It is being reported that some people are saying fair play to the little ****.

    &#8220;For us it is wonderful that someone with such standing within the community has recognised the need to support those less privileged than themselves, whilst at the same time bringing recognition to the work that we do.&#8221;

    The ECA has agreed that TRFC has bought the goodwill and so the history of rfc. So presumably if TRFC had NOT bought the goodwill, then the history and so the founders membership of the ECA would have lapsed.

    Raises the pertinent question.......how can a club transfer something to itself or buy something, which already belongs to it.

    Answer....... New club which by purchasing the goodwill also purchased the history. Had the new club not bought the goodwill, then TRFC could not be as it is now, only an associate member of ECA. If it was the same club, then ECA could not downgrade it's membership. It is the buying of the goodwill and so the history, which permits them to retain the ECA membership.

    Didn't Michael Jackson release an album called History. It would have been a right GIRUY if he had filled it with Beatles tracks......Just another one of my ideas that will never ever happen. I'll file it alongside "Brittons got Talons" in my mental roller deck where Fearne Britton hosts a contest to find the best bird of prey.

    I prefer to think of the huns now as the sequel to a good horror movie; Seed of Chucky seems oddly appropriate as does The Exorcist 2, Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave or Blair Witch 2.

    Either way they have become a toothless parody of the terrible behemoth we once imagined them to be <ok>

    Free-ranging pay could foul Rangers&#8217; IPO
    By Kate Burgess

    However triumphant on the field, soccer has rarely been a sporting investment. Yet Glasgow Rangers Football Club is floating on Aim this week. The shares are being served up at 70p each to loyal fans and professional investors.

    This is the club that went into administration in February, having racked up debt and a tax bill of epic proportions, and was relegated to Scotland&#8217;s third division. It was just another case of a football company with poor financial controls paying players 10 times more in a week than most people earn in a year.

    Research by insolvency specialists Begbies Traynor suggests 32 Scottish clubs are in financial distress.

    Fans of Rangers&#8217; IPO trot out that old million pound chestnut: it is different.

    The fat has been cut out and what remains is pure protein. Rangers&#8217; die-hard supporters regularly turn up to fill the Ibrox stadium close to its 51,000 capacity.

    There is no debt, the expensive players have gone, leaving a team still well able to beat its rivals. Imagine, say followers, what Rangers could earn in sales of tickets and football shirts when it takes its rightful place in Scotland&#8217;s top league in a year or so.


    At this point, the group&#8217;s backers become all misty-eyed and talk about cup wins, playing in Europe&#8217;s lucrative Champions League, selling TV rights for millions and juicy sponsorship deals.

    Charles Green, Rangers&#8217; far from dewy-eyed chief executive and a veteran of Sheffield United, reckons he can raise Rangers up without borrowing or overpaying for new talent.

    He has promised to cap the payroll at a third of revenues.

    That will be easy for the next year while Rangers is banned by the Scottish Football Association from transferring players.

    However, it will be hard to hold the wage bill back once Rangers starts playing top-tier football where pay averages two-thirds of revenues.

    Soccer&#8217;s governing bodies may be pushing for greater financial discipline and player fees may come down, but it will take time.

    Mr Green can only be sure of keeping his promise if he makes more of Rangers&#8217; brand and revenues soar.

    Fans should brace themselves for a rise in ticket prices. The new merchandising deal signed with Sports Direct &#8211; whose owner, Mike Ashley, owns 8 per cent of Rangers &#8211; could really spice up revenues.

    Brokers expect total sales to rise 45 per cent in two years to £46m, lifting the club out of loss into £12m in pre-tax profits by 2015, as long as costs are stable.

    But all it needs is a couple of players paid £100,000 a week to derail those estimates.

    And history is not on Mr Green&#8217;s side. It is notoriously hard to scramble into revenue-generating leagues without destroying profitability by overpaying players.

    Rangers&#8217; IPO has the characteristics of a turkey with a short sell-by date. It may look delicious on Christmas day but will not smell so good in a few months. <laugh>

    the couple of players earning 100k a week bit lets the article down - i guess she is too caught up with players wages in England and has not looked into wages at all in scotland.
