Naismith Gordon Durie story

This is the best way to make sure I'm not committed to a third division club when I can play Premier League football I imagine. Are we going to be scorned forever with Naismith? I notice the language around him hasn't mellowed much.

Nor should it. There was absolutely no need to come out with what he did when the club and more importantly the fans were at their lowest. Absolutely nobody expected a young ambitious player to play in div3 but you had guys like bocanegra with no emotional attachment to the club act with much for dignity.

Bocanegra wasn't exactly on the way up.

No but he acted with a bit of class. Naismith and Whittaker had absolutely no need for the press conference. It did absolutely nothing.

All they needed to do was do everything in private and respect the club and fans. A club that looked after him when he was injured half the time

I've got so many grudges it's hard to keep them all simmering with equal fervour.
 
I should do a copy and paste as I have been saying this for a decade.

His uncle , a very long standing poster on here, was helping me get a decent quote for a new bathroom and changing a bath to a shower. We had many a conversation, 10% about my quote and 90% about Rangers. He had been to nearly every game from Stephen's school boy days until his last game.

Stephen Naismith wanted to extend his time at Rangers and was continually fobbed off. He was then told , once the shit hit the fan that he was being sold to Everton. He didn't want to go. He was then told that he would be sold to the first team that met Rangers valuation.

Been ages since I last seen his uncle post . Probably pulling his hair out with frustration at the horrible things that have been said and he can't defend his nephew.

At the end my the day 99% of footballers are driven by money. Too busy scrambling for the exit door to get a contract somewhere else to really consider what he was doing. Absolutely fucked it for himself as far as ever being welcome back at Ibrox goes.

He basically said we were a new club and his loyalties were with the old rangers, so why was he desperate to stay at a new club he had no ties to?

And any transfer received would have gone straight into the rat scum spivs pockets.
The Club would have got no benefit if he had tuped over.

When he was helping you get a quote, did he invite the media and Steven Whittaker's dad and tell you that your bathroom doesn't actually exist anymore?

That may all be true but is completely irrelevant to why everyone has an issue. He stated we are no longer the same club at a press conference.

For the avoidance of doubt I still can't get my head round why he said that.

If Naismith had left the way McGregor and Davis left then nobody would have held it against him.

But him and his fakehaired mate decided to hold a press conference and basically knife the fans in the back.

Judas Rat.

I think he'd have been back

The million pound pay off that Bocanegra asked for to leave probably helped his judgement.
He got it.
