RANGERRAB

Understand a Yorkshire battle is ready to ensue for Rangers midfielder Nicky Law with Leeds, Huddersfield, Rotherham and Sheff Wed all keen.

 

Goal UK correspondent

McLeod & Peralta gone.If Law goes we have just Black & Hutton left for MF places unless we use untried teenagers.

Surely (I repeat surely) the buffoons running the place won't let virtually an entire MF leave days before we play the yahoos and risk an absolute hiding. Are they that stupid or do they intend bringing in new faces(loan signings?) before the end of the month?

What I still don't understand is just who would entrust them with their proxy votes??

How did these people become acquainted with the Easdales?

This whole crew are the worst thing that has ever happened to Rangers.

After Whyte yes I'd agree

I think there were a few players brought in early doors that Ally had nothing to do with

I'd be very surprised indeed if that were the case.I think almost all would have been his choice.

He doesn't tell the full story about the club being sold for £1.

It was sold for £1 on the proviso that a bank debt of £18m with LBG was cleared.

Shame he isn't telling us the wealthy Rangers men have hoovered up another 10% of the shares.

If that's the case then surely it's game over for the Easdales & Somers ?

Why is this taking so long?

is that it ????

Perhaps this website should set up a new prediction league - who is going to be the manager from game to game until the end of the season.

 

As previously suggested, the bus driver should be included as one of the runners and riders.

likewise Broxi Bear

Well, we'll wait 24 or so hours and will sure get some answer.

I'd like to think so but don't bank on it.

What I don't understand is why KMcD agreed to take on the caretaker role in the first place. He's resigned for 'personal reasons'. What are these 'personal reasons' ?

No he's stepped down as caretaker I think and will just resume his original duties though it's clear as mud on that.

Are you saying he's stepped down as caretaker ? So who's in charge then?

Not how I understood things.

This isn't a huge surprise as McDowall didn't look comfortable with the position at any point.

 

As for his replacement, well, it could be anyone but I doubt there will be an external appointment.

Will there be a replacement ? Or will KMcD see out his 12 months are caretaker?

No one currently at the club would take the job unless someone like Jig or KM which would be too big a risk IMO

McDowell never wanted the job and seems to be saying he's unable to do it. We should respect that.

 

Gordon Durie stepped down as East Fife manager because the of the toll it was taking on his health, there's no way he's capable of taking the Rangers job, even short term.

 

If Jig does get the job on a temporary basis I hope we all support him. It's worth remembering that the mess the club is in is not the fault of any of the three men named above.

It's imperative now someone is appointed who genuinely wants the job and should be brought in ASAP. That person is going to have the responsibility of recruiting virtually a whole new first team squad for next season regardless of what division we're in

i think his normal duties are as assistant manager and coach.

Those WERE his duties were they not. His duties now are as Caretaker Manager

what's the chances of the board offering T3B board positions in exchange for not supporting the EGM ?

A case of divide & rule ? T3B seem to be rather quiet don't they?

No chance of banning McDowall also? Along with Ally

He's as inept & tactically clueless as Ally

indeed. though as we proved they have to adhere to their own regs fairly.

 

on your first point about the aim and king i don't imagine he has been anywhere near the aim but maybe.

 

the truth is 4 off and john gilligan on will suffice..

The truth is DK doesn't need to sit on the Rangers board to have control. He would simply appoint others such as GIlligan ,PM and others to carry out whatever he wanted done.The SFA couldn't do anything about that.

Farmer does something like that at HIVS does he not?

the sfa need to stay within the law. that can't possibly include banning a guy who wasn't a director when whyte destroyed rangers and fought against him.

 

paul shakelton decides if dave king meets aim regs. think on that.

The SFA have their own rules some of which wouldn't stand up in a court of law as McBride QC once infamously stated

Surely King has satisfied aim regs otherwise he wouldn't be calling for an EGM?

the sfa can happily decide this either way. it may come down to the courts again for a proper judgement.

 

stopping p murray would simply be ridiculous. zero commonsense or out and out prejudice would have to be applied.

Surely if DK satisfies the AIM regs there would be nothing the SFA to prevent him sitting on the Rangers board?

PM is another matter altogether. The SFA may not wish him to return in case he started asking them awkward questions about Whyte's tenure

Hilarious to think the SFA could even consider barring anyone from holding a directorship at any club after they did sweet FA when Whyte got Rangers.And they were well warned by a number of people about Whyte at the time were they not? Acertain Paul Murray amongst them IIRC?

From the Scotsman(Scotland on Sunday) by the looks of things. Written by Andrew Smith per chance?

i am talking about the previous jim mccoll one.

I know that. The 2013 AGM.If that 30 percent supports the reqs got backs DK it's a formality at the EGM

the requisitions were signed by 30 odd percent of shareholders.

Which is another reason I think the EGM result is a formality.

Well cant be pressure be brought to bear on the NOMAD ....or can he not be called to account for not operating in the best interests of Rangers

Surely the NOMAD will now be trying to find out how much support each side has?

I still think the result is pretty much a foregone conclusion if the 10percent of RIFC shareholders who are Rangers supporters back DK.

Better to wait and know that you're going to win than go off half cocked and lose (again).

If everyone votes as expected then isn't the EGM result a formality?

Will the incumbent directors resign before then ? If that happened would there be any need for an EGM?
