Latest from Club1872 RIFC AGM 2022 Questions Dear Contributor, Club 1872 Directors were able to ask 2 questions on behalf of Contributors at yesterday’s RIFC AGM. We have another 15 questions covering the Sydney Cup, Elite, Memorial Walls and Sports Direct litigation, New Edmiston House and other topics which we were not able to ask at the meeting. We will follow up on these with the RIFC Board. We asked Douglas Park to lay out his detailed vision for the club over the next 5 years. You can view the question and Mr Park's answer here. We welcome Mr Park’s public commitment to the RIFC board engaging with Club 1872. Mr Park touched on the issue of Rangers asking Club 1872 to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. We addressed this topic at a high level in a statement released in March 2022, which you can view here https://club1872.co.uk/news/club-1872-concerns-over-rangers-executive-management/ We will address this issue again in more detail over the coming days so that the position is very clear to our Contributors and supporters. Club 1872 also asked about the repayment of loans to John Bennett and Julian Wolhardt since June 2022. You can view the question and Mr Bennett's answer here. Again, we will follow up on this with the RIFC Board to try to get a clearer answer on the loans repaid and the interest paid in that period. Club 1872 Club 1872 concerns over Rangers’ Executive Management In recent weeks, following the announcement of Rangers’ participation in the Sydney Cup in Australia, supporters have begun to publicly and vocally question the judgement, competence and honesty of the Rangers’ Executive Team. It is the opinion of the Club 1872 Board that not only are they correct to do so, but that it is crucial for the future health of the club that they do so. Unfortunately, the contempt shown to supporters over this issue is only the tip of the iceberg and has been ongoing, albeit less visibly to the majority of supporters, for almost two years. It is a source of great regret that we are having to raise these matters publicly – having always attempted to engage privately and constructively with the club – but the current custodians of Rangers Football Club have refused to speak with us privately despite repeated attempts to do so. The experience of Club 1872 Directors, both past and present, is that Rangers’ Executive Team, led by Stewart Robertson, James Bisgrove and David Graham, has developed an extremely unhealthy disdain for the Rangers support and that inaccurate information has regularly been disseminated through the club’s own public statements, briefings to fan media and highly selective leaks to a small group of individuals within the Rangers support. This conduct has not, in our opinion, been intended to advance the aims of the club, but instead to serve the interests of a handful of members of the Plc Board and Executive team and to protect them from healthy scrutiny and justified criticism. When Club 1872 attempted to represent the interests and concerns of supporters on a variety of topics such as ticketing, safe standing, disabled facilities, season ticket renewals, Scottish football governance and merchandise issues, the reaction of the Executive team over a number of months between March and July 2020 was dismissive, patronising and at times openly hostile. Rangers’ MyGers scheme, rather than being presented honestly as a commercial levy on away and European tickets, has been marketed around a false concept of loyalty that is based purely on fans’ ability to spend and from which the vast majority of supporters have not seen a single benefit. MyGers has falsely been positioned by the club as a form of meaningful fan engagement when the reality is that it has simply been a vehicle to try to find more and more ways to monetise the support. It has also had the effect of marginalising Rangers Supporters Clubs who, despite facilitating the attendance of thousands of supporters at games, have seen their allocations cut. We have also been extremely concerned to see Rangers, under Commercial Director, James Bisgrove, sign up to dubious commercial partnerships with cryptocurrency and NFT providers despite the obvious pitfalls of promoting these types of high risk, unregulated, third party ‘investments’ to supporters. The ‘Fan Token’ which Bitci launched in partnership with Rangers has, in common with many similar schemes, dropped in value by around 90% since its high shortly after launch in August 2021 – leaving supporters who purchased them out of pocket. Club 1872 also has documentary and other evidence that over the past two years, since the appointment of new Communications Director, David Graham, supporters have been regularly fed inaccurate information on issues ranging from player transfers, commercial activities and merchandise to shareholder relations. Stewart Robertson even went as far as to fabricate a grievance with Club 1872 and falsely accuse Club 1872 Directors of breaching confidentiality. It is the Club 1872 Board’s opinion that this was simply an excuse to cut off all dialogue with us as it became apparent to Mr Robertson that we would not accept supporters being misled on important issues. Mr Robertson then attempted to force Club 1872 into signing a blanket Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) which would have had the effect of preventing us from making any public comment about Rangers and required us to report any information we received from third parties to Rangers’ Executives. When Club 1872 took legal advice, and on the basis of that advice declined to sign this agreement, Mr Robertson refused our offer to sign amended NDAs for specific, commercially sensitive matters. This was a clear and obvious attempt to silence Club 1872 and restrict our ability to effectively represent our Contributors and the wider support. There then followed a concerted campaign by individuals very close to the club to forcefully remove Club 1872 Directors. Although this attempt ultimately failed thanks to our Contributors, the smears and lies which were regularly broadcast created a false, negative perception of both Club 1872 and our attempts to reach a 25% shareholding for supporters through the purchase of Dave King’s shares. This was nothing more than a dishonest attack on Club 1872 and fan representation which started immediately after it became clear to Rangers’ Executives that we would not collaborate with the way in which they were conducting themselves. Indeed, on more than one occasion we had to refuse David Graham’s urging to disseminate information to supporters that was simply not true. We have today written to Rangers’ Vice Chairman, John Bennett, Plc Board members Barry Scott, Alastair Johnston and Julian Wolhardt and major shareholders Stuart Gibson, George Letham and George Taylor, asking them to enter into dialogue with us as a matter of urgency so that we can present the information we have gathered on the issues raised above. The financial contribution that these individuals have made to the club is considerable and to be commended and we hope they will work with us to improve the way the club is being run. We have also extended an offer to a number of fan media outlets to meet them and outline the information in our possession which shows the way in which they have been manipulated by Rangers’ Executives. Rangers supporters did not go through the events of 2012 to find ourselves back in a situation where individuals at the club put their own interests ahead of Rangers. April is a huge month for the club and the ongoing behaviour of the Rangers hierarchy and their refusal to engage properly with supporters is threatening to distract from important matters on the pitch. As supporters, we unconditionally support the team, the players and the club but the days of blindly following the club’s custodians when they are not, in our opinion, acting in Rangers’ best interests are long gone. We sincerely hope that the required changes can be made sooner rather than later, that the club’s hierarchy can reconnect with supporters and we can move forward together. In the meantime, we would urge supporters to continue to critically examine all information released by Rangers’ Executives or their proxies.

From BBC website Former Celtic and Scotland striker Leigh Griffiths has been questioned by police investigating gambling in sport. The 32-year-old footballer confirmed officers came to his home in South Lanarkshire at 7am on Thursday. Officers took him to the London Road police station in Glasgow. Griffiths said he was not arrested and has denied any wrong doing. He declined to discuss the subject of the questioning. A spokesperson for Police Scotland said it had carried out a "pre-planned" operation on Thursday 1 December. The force issued a statement, saying: "Following a pre-planned police operation on Thursday, December 1, three men aged 37, 35 and 32 were arrested in the Bothwell, Bonnyrigg and Airdrie areas in connection with an investigation into alleged gambling incidents in sport. "All three men were released without charge pending further enquiries." Leigh Griffiths won seven league titles, three Scottish Cups and four League Cups with Celtic. In 2017 the striker secured his place in Scottish footballing folklore by scoring two free-kicks for the national side in a 2-2 draw against England at Hampden. He has been without a club for six months and has been training with Livingston.

Club have emailed those in BF about moving UB into centre of BF.

Aye he was employed by the club. Not sure of the position, he was seen handing out tickets for euro away games. Also seen escorting players out after games, security?

QPR fan not happy. https://rebrand.ly/rqwjp9p I assume the Sun paid for this tosser to come all the way up here to have this rant.

Dave King Q&A - Part 2 Dear Contributor, On Monday 21st November 2022, we held a Q&A with former Rangers Chairman, Dave King. As promised the event was recorded for Contributors. Mr King answered questions from Contributors in attendance and also from those who submitted questions via email. He spoke for just over an hour and covered a large number of topics. The second part of the video is now available to view. In this part, Dave King discusses his thoughts on how he will vote on the resolutions at the upcoming Rangers AGM, his concern over the lack of investment in the team and communication around that, his thoughts on recent interest in the club from American investor Kyle Fox and how he believes the Rangers Board should move forward. We have had some sound issues on the video which were a combination of the way the sound was captured and also the Zoom link to South Africa breaking up. We apologise for this and have added subtitles to Part 2 of the Q&A to assist viewers. Please turn subtitles on if they do not show automatically from the start. We are working on the subtitles and the sound on the third and final part of the video where the call broke up most, and hope to have that with Contributors in the coming days. You can view Part 2 of the Q&A here - https://youtu.be/tCOCSyjlEew Part 1 of the Q&A, it is available here - https://youtu.be/IYQW3q9xGQY Club 1872

Contributor Blog: Rangers AGM – The RIFC Board’s Five Year Plan Last week I attended the Dave King Q&A with Club 1872 members and listened to his answers with interest. Not just because I was keen to hear Mr King’s take on everything Rangers but also because I had submitted a question on the upcoming Rangers AGM resolutions and was pleased to get some perspective from an experienced, ex RIFC Board member. It was clear from the Q&A that Mr King will vote against Douglas Park’s re-election in Resolution 2, but my question was about Resolutions 7 and 8 which have changed significantly this year from what we are used to. Mr King indicated that he will vote against these resolutions too and in that we are agreed. I will cast both my Club 1872 vote and my vote on my own shares at the Rangers AGM against these resolutions, mainly because I cannot see any justification for them in the current climate. Resolutions 7 and 8, taken together, give the RIFC Board the right to issue as many shares as they like, at whatever price they want, to any party they choose for a period of five years without further shareholder approval. This differs considerably from previous, similar resolutions which only asked for this authority to last for one year and for which I have previously voted in favour. It is not at all clear why the RIFC Board have changed these resolutions this year. I would have welcomed the opportunity to ask Douglas Park about this had he agreed to speak to Club 1872 members but he refused. That is unfortunate as perhaps he would have been able to explain why he feels shareholders should hand such wide ranging powers to the Board at this time. What is particularly strange for me is that we have now entered a period where the existing board members and large investors are no longer issuing shares to themselves in return for loans, but are instead charging the club interest and asking for the cash back. Who then are these shares for? Also, will shares to be offered to fans or will our shareholding be further diluted by the board, as it was almost immediately after investing via the Tifosy share issue? These resolutions, if they pass, mean the board does not have to answer these questions, or any others about investment into the club, they can simply do whatever they like. I have seen some criticism of Mr King’s position on voting against these resolutions. His critics say this would block investment into the club. Of course this is not true. The board can seek permission from shareholders at any time to issue shares. Voting against these resolutions doesn’t stop inward investment, it just means the board would have to come to shareholders to ask for, and crucially explain why they wanted, this authority. Instead, against a backdrop where fans are already concerned that the board won’t engage with them, they are asking for authority not to have to engage with shareholders or supporters on the issue of investment into the club for a period of five years. As a minimum, since they themselves have stopped their own investment into the club, the board should be outlining why they want this authority. Instead, the change to five years has been sneaked into the resolutions without any explanation for the change. Every Club 1872 member must of course make their own decision on Resolution 7 and 8 but I will be following Mr King’s lead and voting against. If Club 1872 and other supporters vote against Resolution 8 at the Rangers AGM then there is a chance it will not pass as it requires 75% of shareholders to be in favour. Perhaps then the Rangers board would realise that they should engage with shareholders and fans and lay our their plans to be assessed on their own merits, rather than quietly seeking authority to do whatever they like for the next 5 years. CR

“Finally, this is a coveted managerial position and after an intense week of discussions, I wish to extend our sincere thanks to all of the excellent managers who we met to discuss the role.” Wonder who they were if this is true? I doubt it is.

I’m one who is underwhelmed by this appointment(if confirmed). What research into other managers did the board do? Did they interview anyone else? If the board have such a high opinion of Beale why not give him the job when Gerrard left? Anyway we will all need to give him a chance now.
