    Remember a few months back the VB came out with a couple of articles on some of actions played in our downfall by those in power in Scottish football? There was the "promise" of big news to come, what has happened to this ?

    Meanwhile, South Africa-based businessman Dave King has told BBC Scotland that a newspaper report suggesting that he and other former Rangers directors are involved in a takeover is untrue. He also recently told the BBC that he had not been involved in discussions with anyone on the board. Taken from BBC

    Something not quite right here. I've been banned from every other fans website, but no problems on GERSNET, just saying.
  6. BEARGER
    I do not think we should accept this, we should appeal. Chances are the bans would then be longer term.

    You are correct ST holders and those who purchased a membership elected the fans board from those who were selected to stand. All other fans had no say unless they wished to pay for the privilege.

    Sorry about the size of lettering on previous post, cannot seem to be able to change it. Not shouting, honest.

    Aye its "official" all right if you mean that it was brought into being by the board of directors. Democratically elected!! You taking the piss here? it was brought in by the club. the club selected the selectors, the selectors selected the "fans board". It could not be further away from democracy, which was the intention all along.

    How many "fans groups" do you think one club requires? And now we have another one.
  11. BEARGER
    Time will tell. IMO it's just a "company Union" talking shop with no powers and further divides the support.
  12. BEARGER
    Sorry to rain on the parade but those who are in anyway involved with this are part of the problem not the cure, IMO.

    Ok it was on FF in the lounge on a specific thread to discuss the referendum. I was expecting some criticism but it was way over the top IMO.

    I also post on another forum. As soon as I admitted to being a yes voter the attacks started. I was a phoney, nationalist troll, tim, not a real Rangers fan etc. etc. Some of it was just pure hatred, it got me to thinking do I really want to be associated with these people? In fact I stayed away from the last two home games, not because of the board (although that may come) but due to not wanting to share the same space as these bigots. Now I know that not all supporters are the same and in fact 1000's voted yes and I will be back, but we seem to have a vocal minority who attend games who have issues that are more important to them than the team.

    Why anyone would wish to be part of this no power talking shop is beyond me. just another divide and rule tactic by those in charge at present.

    BBC website Newcastle United: Mike Ashley says the club is not for sale Newcastle owner Mike Ashley says he has no plans to sell the club until at least the end of next season. It was reported on Thursday that he is ready to buy Scottish side Rangers, in which he already has a 9% stake. "The truth is Mike Ashley remains committed to Newcastle United," said a statement from the Premier League club. "This means that for the remainder of this season and at least until the end of next season, Mike Ashley will not sell Newcastle United at any price." Ashley also ruled out purchasing any further shares in Scottish Championship club Rangers. Buckinghamshire-born Ashley, who owns sports retailer Sports Direct, bought Newcastle in May 2007.

    I wonder how many have joined this fans group? We know that all ST holders are automatically members, although they could I presume tell the club to remove their names from the membership list. But how many have actually paid money to join?
  22. BEARGER
    There is no chance of anyone who they see as being against the board, outspoken, not following the party line, or going against the grain as you put it getting anywhere near this fans board. Anyone who has these attributes would not go near this company union talking shop.
  23. BEARGER
    This is just a talking shop, a sop to those stupid enough to believe anything this board say. Any Bear who would represent the fans correctly will get nowhere near the fan board.

    Not sure there is anything new in these "revelations". This report from Daily Record. Sep 23, 2012 11:27 By Anthony Haggerty 17 Comments CHIEFS planned to strip Gers of five League Cup titles in original plans to punish the club for the use of EBTs. RANGERS were going to be stripped of FIVE League Cups in the original draft document set up by the SPL to punish the club for the controversial use of EBTs. MailSport can reveal the Hampden bosses who wanted Rangers to accept the loss of five league titles and four Scottish Cups had also planned to take away five League Cup victories in return for granting the club a place in the First Division. But it’s understood the stripping of those League Cups was taken off the list of punishments after the SFL refused to enter into such a plea bargain because the Ibrox outfit had not yet been found guilty of wrongdoing over the use of EBTs Ibrox chief executive Charles Green steadfastly refused to accept any EBT sanctions in return for newco Gers getting the chance to be parachuted into Division One. And that move never came about anyway as SFL sides instead voted for Green’s club to start again in the Third Division. Our sister paper the Daily Record revealed two months ago that Hampden chiefs were planning to strip Gers of the titles and Scottish Cups won in the EBT years. But the original package of punishments also included the League Cups and would have amounted to Rangers losing 14 honours. Had the SFL ratified the punishment, Rangers would have been forced to agree to: “The withdrawal from Rangers FC, RFC and Sevco of the award and status of winner of the League Cup for each of seasons 2001/02, 2002/03, 2004/05, 2007/08, 2009/10 and 2010/11.” Lord Nimmo Smith has been appointed by the SPL to chair an independent commission into Rangers’ use of EBTs and the hearing will begin on November 13. Green is facing an SFA charge of bringing the game into disrepute after claiming the commission had decided on the punishments before the case was heard. And many fans may now be convinced that Green had a point when he said the stripping of honours had been on the SPL’s agenda since June.

    From The Herald. More porkies from Green. Greens tale of George Soros £10m to rangers dismissed THE billionaire financier who teamed up with a former Rangers investor to break the Bank of England has distanced himself from claims that he is involved in a £10 million investment bid at Ibrox. George Soros, one of the world's richest men, has distanced himself from claims that he is involved in a �10m investment bid at Ibrox Photograph: Getty Former Rangers chief executive Charles Green claimed he was close to raising up to £10m to plough into the financially troubled Scottish Championship club with one of the interested parties cited as Soros Fund Management. It was said the investors had already held talks with a senior Rangers official. But sources close to George Soros, 83, one of the world's richest men with a fortune worth £23 billion, insist that there is no truth in reports of him becoming involved. One briefing suggested he had instructed Green to make a move in the next seven days, which could see the former Rangers chief executive return as a director of Rangers International Football Club plc. It is understood Rangers shareholders were to be offered 20p a share - nearly 10p below the current asking price on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), part of the London Stock Exchange. If that move failed, Soros - through his Soros Fund Management vehicle - and Green were reported to be willing to offer the board a £10m loan at 5% interest. But that had the controversial condition attached of taking the Murray Park training ground as security. Green's involvement has already been met with resistance from the Union of Fans, the Rangers supporters' group, who say they would orchestrate a boycott of the club if he returned. He became an unpopular figure among fans after leading a consortium to buy the assets of the club through a £5.5m loan in June 2012 as the operating company headed to liquidation. He was forced to resign in April 2013 when allegations of business links with former owner Craig Whyte emerged, although he denied any wrongdoing. A source close to Soros said: "I think the rumour about Soros investing in the Scottish football team is false." In September 1992, Soros teamed up with Joe Lewis to make a killing by betting on the pound crashing out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. Their pressure forced the pound out in what is still known as Black Wednesday, and cost the Treasury an estimated £3.4bn while generating huge profits for Soros, Lewis and others. Soros was then a little-known financier but he became known as "the man who broke the Bank of England". Lewis went on to become a Rangers shareholder and was listed in 2013 as the 308th richest person on Forbes' List of billionaires and ninth wealthiest person in the UK. Announcing the investment bid, Green said: "I've got a number of people ready to invest in Rangers. "I've told people this is a great club and a great opportunity. It's one of the world's biggest brands in terms of football. "I don't want to go back to Rangers, I left unhappy last year and know it wouldn't be right to go back. However, to see where the club is now is a disaster. What I'm saying is if someone else can raise the money then great. If not, I'll do it. "I wouldn't be involved at executive level or operationally but if I bring investors in, they'll want some kind of representation on the board. That could be me or someone else." It was announced earlier this week that Rangers are looking to raise £4m through a new share issue. In 1999 the Bahamas-based Lewis bought a 25% stake in Rangers for £40m through the ENIC Group investment vehicle, only for former owner David Murray to buy back his stake in the club for almost £9m eight years later. Soros was born in Hungary but emigrated to Britain when he was 17 after the Second World War. He is believed to have made a profit of $1bn during the Black Wednesday crisis. He has a 1.9% shareholding in Manchester United and was said to have played a role in the peaceful transition from communism to capitalism in Hungary between 1984 and 1989. He provided one of Europe's largest higher education endowments to Central European University in Budapest. He is the chairman of the Open Society Foundations, which is a grant-making organisation aimed at shaping public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights, and economic, legal, and social reform. Forbes magazine lists Soros as the 27th richest person in the world and the seventh richest man in the Uited States.
