RANGERRAB

Whilst none of the teams in this league worry me (yep, said same last year....) anyone who doesn't think this was clearly a carve up needs their head read !

 

Seriously, we got the relegated team from the SPFL (so the highest team that we could possibly face given league positions at the end of last season), Hibs who finished above us, Queen of the South who finished right below us and our bogey team from last season in our first four games next year..... and we are expected to believe that this was a "random" draw ???

 

No way was that a random draw !!

Remember too that hibz and QOS have been losing players.

Hopefully both will be weaker by the time the season starts especially hibz if Scott Allan joins us as I expect he will before the end of august

If we can sort things out up front then that will go a long way to deciding how well next season goes.

Boyd has gone and quite honestly Miller & clark should join him too. Bring in a couple of top-notch strikers & we'll stroll the championship next season.I know that sounds easy but if we get that part right I genuinely we'll be back up to the top flight easily for the season after next

Imperative we get off to a better start next season.

Losing at home to hertz on the first day last season was the start of many problems for us whether we realised it or not at the time

So, King's next move to propose an AGM resolution disapplying Ashley's voting rights now that its been confirmed (again) that he breached dual ownerhsip rules...???

He hasn't exceeded his allowed percentage Rangers ownership has he?

This fine was for installing Llambias & Leach

Yeah don't get me wrong I agree with your thinking I just think we need to take it one step at a time. Hopefully Warburton and Weir are also thinking long term too

Yes I'd agree. We must improve the quality of the squad for starters. Up front is where the real problems were last season with none of the strikers able to get a decent amount of goals

I'd say number one priority is to get back to the top division in Scotland, we won't need to worry about Europe for at least two seasons

I dont think that is correct. We can qualify for the EL next season by winning the SC (or at least getting to the final).

Newco will have produced three sets of audited accounts by then

I will tell him the same if he ever posts on the subject.

And who's best placed to comment - you or AJ ?

Oldco newco the results the same and everything we are suffering and will do going forward for a long time is due to Clark and Whitehouse not running an honest administration.

Which is why there's a fraud trial?

If you are going to continually peddle these conspiracy theories, it is you who has to provide the answers, not the questions.

Not just me. AJ too.

Rangers you mean. We probably had a good payment record.

Whyte was effectively running Rangers on his own so he was responsible

Whyte and duff and Phelps did yes. Plus small tax case that Whyte agreed to pay.

Why did HMRC allow Whyte to go on as long as he did without paying?

No, we owed HMRC £18m.

Whyte didn't accrue £18m in unpaid PAYE/NI did he ?

Other than the £72m for EBT's where does the rest of HMRC's claim come from ? that's £22.4m.

Whyte only owed around £9m in unpaid PAYE/NI did he not?

We need a much higher profile CEO/MD.

Someone prepared to fight our corner against the incessant barrage of deliberate lies and misleading information about Rangers. I hope I'm wrong but I dont see Stewart Robertson doing that.

After June30?

No, he doesn't. He rightly would have voted in line of what he felt were the best interests of his then football club (with respect to his career and personal life). For all we know he may have advised against the 'Well Society being given the responsibility afforded to them.

 

Anyone taking umbrage with that because he's now joining our club is just being deliberately obtuse.

Let him explain himself then. He must be asked the question

I knew there was a reason we shouldn't have signed Nicky Law either....

LOL. Law didn't have any influence on their vote. Robertson might have. Needs to explain himself

If Stewart Robertson was with Motherwell when they voted us out the SPL then he should never have got this appointment.

He was but Motherwell voted in accordance with the wishes of their supporters group.

Of course they did. All ten of them no doubt.

Just like the other nine clubs (Killie abstained) Motherwell voted us out the SPL on presumption of guilt on the BTC but probably won't admit it. And Stewart Robertson was with Motherwell at that time was he? And no doubt fell for Rhegan's nonsense about going to SFL1 for one season.

Not going to be a great start for this guy if this is true

Surely he wasn't with Motherwell when they chose to vote us out the SPL?

Not according the SFA who have fined both Ashley and the club.

That was due to the appointments of Llambias & Leach was it not? Ashley is not above his allowed percentage shareholding in RIFC plc

Its not quite posturing from King. In the sense that the Board now has a mandate to bring to the AGM a motion to disapply the voting rights of any shareholder breaching the SFA's dual ownership rules.

 

Not sure what percentage of votes would be needed to get this passed, but this isn't over.

Ashley isn't breaching the SFA's dual ownership rules is he? He is below the stipulated 10%

He's not CEO ?

Been watching him since he was 15 and have always been impressed

As I said earlier SDoW will improve him. No brainer for me if he signs but understand no done deal yet only talks scheduled

Seemingly talks scheduled but far from done deal
