With Sir David Murray suddenly stepping aside, and with no plan of action for the future readily known by the massive following Rangers enjoys, speculation as to what happens next is understandably rife.
In smoke-free rooms, our custodian will sit down with prospective new pretenders to the throne, and perhaps with a banker or two somewhere in the near background, in an attempt to transfer the ownership of our club to someone we may not like; someone we may not approve of, or agree with, while the lifeblood of the club - the support - is completely excluded from any worthwhile input into the future direction of it.
A handful of power-brokers holds the key to the future of Rangers, and the followers of this great sporting institution are mere bystanders while the great and the good attempt to cobble together a deal which will set our custodian free, keep the banks at bay and bring a new individual, or consortium, to reign over us indefinitely.
Undeniably, it`s an exciting time as the uncertainty of our club`s future is debated, but there will be no general election for us to democratise our opinions - just more waiting and wondering while the men in suits wheel and deal.
The sport of speculation will continue until a puff of blue smoke over Ibrox decrees that a new owner has emerged, but whether he or she will be a preferiti from a supporter point of view remains to be seen.
Whether a new regime is in place at Ibrox in two weeks or two years, there surely has to be a constitutional change in the way our clubs - indeed most football clubs in the UK - are run.
This lottery of ownership of our football clubs cannot be allowed to continue.
