DK is well aware of what is happening.

What a strange post. Wonder why any Bear would be thinking of street cleaning with all the other problems we have.

You SDM? We have not had a ST waiting list in a good few years, if ever. If this UOF/DK proposal takes off the spivs will be disparate for funds.

4th Meeting of the Rangers CIC Working Party.
BEARGER replied to BrahimHemdani's topic in Rangers Chat
I'm sure there are many decent people who are now involved with the RangersFirst CIC scheme. I still have reservations about those who I believe were not upfront and truthful while members of the RST board, I did not smear them they did that themselves. I will not be joining RF as it's my opinion that we should be raising money to buy shares only. You say I smeared VB, I never mentioned them in my post. Funny that you acknowledged their disgusting behaviour, if the cap fits. -

4th Meeting of the Rangers CIC Working Party.
BEARGER replied to BrahimHemdani's topic in Rangers Chat
You are correct, I had reservations from the start about this but was waiting to see how it panned out. What I've been told and what I've read on here has not persuaded me to buy into it. -

It's all coming out bit by bit. As I said earlier this whole thing stinks. -

This whole affair stinks, I'm out. -
What a load of utter nonsense, deary me. ".......the British super-group win the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest....." Bucks Fizz were never a super-group.

Matthew Lindsay NEARLY 5,000 Rangers fans have committed themselves to withholding season ticket money from the stricken Ibrox club in under a week. The Union of Fans, an umbrella group comprising six supporters organisations, wants to pool the cash in a trust until their demands are met. The controversial move follows a call by former Gers director Dave King last week for supporters only to release the funds on a "pay-as-they-play" basis. It is a radical plan that has sharply divided opinion among the Light Blues support and has been condemned by senior officials at the Ibrox club. Two statements released by Rangers last week called the development "de-stabilising" and "divisive" and claimed that it would "benefit no one". But the Union of Fans have been inundated with pledges of support from fans who are unhappy with the way the SPFL League One leaders are being run. Just under 5,000 of them have contacted the union website since the scheme was announced on Thursday to indicate their intention to withhold their money. Craig Houston, the mastermind behind the Sons of Struth protest group, revealed the number had exceeded the expectations of Union of Fans activists. He said: "The figures are fantastic. I thought we would maybe get close to that sort of figure after a week or so. To get that in a couple of days is amazing. "We have been blown away by the responses we have received in such a short space of time. "We have some initiatives that we are working on that we hope will rapidly increase the number of fans who want to lend their support to the plan." The terms of the £1million loan that Rangers have agreed with Laxey Partners, the largest shareholders in the club, have angered many supporters. The Isle of Man-based hedge fund is set to make a £150,000 profit on the loan when the money is paid back to them in full this September. And the fact the loan has been secured on Edmiston House and the Albion car park facilities also worries followers of the Govan giants. Fans want to have a representative on the club board to look after their interests and are keen to receive guarantees about how the club is run. King released a lengthy statement on Saturday that hit back at the board's response to his call for fans to pool their season ticket money in a trust. He will travel to Scotland from South Africa soon to ensure the trust is set up legally and to help create a fund that secures fans an "influential stake" in the club. He also claimed that former chief executive Charles Green, who led the consortium that bought Rangers in 2012, could still be "de facto" controlling the club. His statement read: "The board wants fans to lend money at no interest and with no security. Rangers fans are loyal but not stupid." lRangers last night rejected internet rumours that the club will enter administration for a second time on Wednesday. A spokesman said: "There is absolutely no truth in these claims."

Pinched from FF. Rangers Director Norman Crighton is a director of company called Private Equity Investor PLC alongside someone called Peter Dicks. http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03...people-summary'>http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03...people-summary Peter Dicks happens to be a director of Daniel Stewart Securities who in turn own our NOMAD 100%. http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03...people-summary http://companycheck.co.uk/company/02...e#shareholders Colin Kingsworth of Laxey also used to be a director of Private Equity Investor http://companycheck.co.uk/director/904231162 Sounds nice and cosy if you want a loan passed at Wonga rates

DAVE KING has criticised Graham Wallace for claiming the Rangers support have destabilised the club with their threat to withhold season ticket cash - insisting the chief executive's comments are an insult to the Ibrox faithful. In a statement released to Press Association Sport, former director King has taken swipe at Wallace for questioning fans' loyalties to their club. The Union of Fans issued a vote of no confidence in the Ibrox board on Thursday and backed King's bid to lead a fan-based group to secure a major shareholding in the club. They also backed the South African-based businessman's call for trust to be set up that would collect season ticket fees and drip feed the money to the regime controlling the Light Blues week by week. Wallace responded by saying that threat was "damaging" Rangers but King rejected his claim. In his statement, King - who now plans to fly to Scotland to step up his bid for change - said: "Unfortunately, I can only express bemusement at the board's response to myself and the fans. "In what is really a non-response the board states that our statements are an attempt to undermine the club. That is an insult to fans who have nothing other than the club's interest at heart." The latest squabble in the long-running saga surrounding the club's ownership and finances was sparked on Monday when Rangers announced to the stock exchange that it had taken out a £1.5million loan from investors Laxey Partners and Sandy Easdale. The terms of the loan handed both Laxey and Easdale security on the Albion car park and Edminston House facilities near Ibrox, while Laxey stands to make a £150,000 profit. That angered supporters who claim a better deal was available from other shareholders. Wallace, though, pleaded for the fans to trust the board's management but King - who lost a £20million investment when oldco Rangers were liquidated in the summer of 2012 - said: "They ask for trust but don't recognise that trust is a mutual relationship and requires transparency. "What the board is really asking of fans is to have blind faith - not trust. This board has not earned that right and has, in fact, repeatedly demonstrated the opposite." And King raised doubts about who was really pulling the strings behind the scenes. "{The board states] that the current problems can be attributed to previous management (presumably Charles Green etc). That does not explain the ongoing lack of transparency on shareholding and finances by the existing board. "It is quite possible that Charles Green is still de facto controlling the club. Certainly the existing directors have a minuscule equity stake and yet won't disclose the true 'power behind the throne'." Rangers made a £14.4million loss last year and had to take out the Laxey/Easdale loan just to keep the Ibrox lights on until the end of the season. King's statement concludes: "The board continues to treat the fans with disdain by offering mere platitudes. "A more considered and constructive response was appropriate. It is insightful of the board's mindset that it is willing to borrow money from a preferred shareholder at a rate of interest that reflects a high risk to the investor. "In doing so the board has finally confirmed its true view on the parlous state of the club's finances. "What is incomprehensible however is that it then eliminated the risk to this investor (and separately to Sandy Easdale) by providing club assets as security while still paying the high-risk rate. "That highlights that this transaction makes no commercial sense and was not conducted on an arms-length basis. "Paradoxically, the board wants long suffering fans to lend money at no interest and with no security. Rangers fans are loyal but not stupid."

Aye a former captain that left ( first time) when we really needed him. A fan who made plenty out of the club who could afford more than most. I don't have a lot of time for so called legends like BF, you may have noticed this.
-
Who gives a toss what BF thinks about our plight? How much has he invested ?
-
Agree about King, he must step up to the plate and deliver. As I said earlier it looks to me that some were forewarned that King was going to speak out. If not the UOF have made a major blunder in organising this.
-
Over 3000 signed up so far.
-
Long winded statement that says nothing and gives us the same amount of new information. Wallace is just another with his nose in the trough.
-
Well it's obvious to me that certain groups/people had a heads up and knew that DK was going to make his statement.
-
It's obvious that contact had been made between DK and some of the groups before he made his statement.
-
We will never ever get 100% solidarity amongst all the fans, we should just concentrate on the majority. RM has been virtually taken over by VB, best ignored.
-
You make a good point. Someone who donates £20 per month for the same 5 years but keeps going has a vote and you don't. Just does not seem fair to me.
-
Until he actually spells out how he intends to invest in Rangers and how much there isn't much to discuss. AJ seemed to suggest as much recently.I'd advise him to watch what he says otherwise we might all end up with nothing I also genuinely believe he needs to answer if he really did lose 20million in the oldco. Did he get most of that returned to him? The way you have worded it I assumed you were talking about yourself. Of course he may speak numbers to the board.
