    It will be very interesting indeed to see what action(if any) the SFA take against both McGowan and Forrest if they're found guilty in a court of law for their misdemeanours. Surely bringing the game into disrepute for starters.

    Wonder how the SPFL investigation is coming along ? You really couldn't make this up could you. Liewell is petrified of the Green Brigade.

    The whyte situation was totally different. No one knew for sure what was going on until administration because he 'd got rid of all directors except DK. This situation is different as we can see there are things which have gone on which need addressed

    If these kids are as exceptional as you say they'll break through into the first team anyway if they are that good. Never under-estimate the massive step up from youth leagues into the first team. Looking the part in a youth side is often not enough of an indicator as to whether a youngster has what it takes to hold down a first team place
  5. RANGERRAB
    If you took away all of those players our squad would be decimated. How do you know that the youngsters will be good enough?

    If its share price drops then there could very well be boardroom changes

    Other than Aird & McLeod it's difficult to see who else will still be with us when we're back in the top division.Perhaps putting the likes of Crawford and Barrie MacKay out on loan somewhere might be an idea worth considering at the moment though it might leave us a bit thin on the ground

    Everyone overlooks the fact that we all need a successful team on the park. When I say everyone I mean supporters, directors,shareholders the lot. If we don't then everyone will want change perhaps for different reasons but everyone associated with Rangers needs the club to be successful.

    If we were fan-owned how much money would that raise annually do you think ? Do you think someone like Graham Wallace would want to be CEO ?

    Laxey will vote according to the board's performance. If they perform well they'll vote for them. if not they'll try and replace them although with just 10 to 15 percent shareholding they'd need to get support from other shareholders to instigate any sort of change. I suspect where we may differ is what determines performance. I'd suggest at the end of the day it is really all about the first team and things are going reasonably well so far with the only blip being the LC defeat

    Did green appoint Crichton, Somers and Wallace ? Think you're making things up now aren't you ?
  12. RANGERRAB
    So what do you do to all those individuals & institutions who put in the £22m last year ? Without it we wouldn't be here today. What you're suggesting sounds like something Stalin would have done in communist Russia. Whether you you like it or not Rangers football club is owned by a plc owned by shareholders. Those shareholders decide who they want to run the plc which owns the club.Welcome to democratic capitalism my friend. Many clubs throughout the world exist this way.

    Are St Mirren going to sack him though? I thought I heard their Lennon saying they 'd offer him 'support' (goodness knows what that means). I just think that the SFA need to come out and say or do something given the seriousness of this which will ultimately result in a custodial sentence I'd have thought
  14. RANGERRAB
    Who would that be who has the financial backing ? I've nothing against PM but he doesn't seem to have much does he?
  15. RANGERRAB
    What exactly do you want to achieve ? What is your objective ? Get rid off the entire board or just Stockbridge ? Blue pitch and margarita only own about 15 percent between them. They're hardly majority shareholders. Who do you want to own Rangers then ? Please don't say McColl. And will King invest and by what means? I'd advise to be careful what you wish for. Just watch you don't end up with nothing at all
  16. RANGERRAB
    What exactly are they hoping to achieve? Removing Stockbridge and Irvine then what? When I see banners such as 'no more faceless investors' then who do they want to own the club ? Please tell me but forget McColl who has no interest in investing. Seems to me it's just protesting for the sake of protesting mostly
  17. RANGERRAB
    Call me paranoid but are the SFA planning to do something about this ? Could this be bringing the game into disrepute ?
  18. RANGERRAB
    It needs to be understood that Rangers football club are owned by a plc consisting of shareholders.If you want to have a say then you need to buy shares in the plc. That's how things work like it or not. Of course there have been goings-on over this past year which are unacceptable but I'd urge everyone to allow our new CEO time to settle into the job and sort everything out.
  19. RANGERRAB
    Exactly. Now can we let the guy do his job and ditch all talk of boycotts, protests etc. He's not long in the door so give him time to go through everything that went on over this past year and decide what needs to be done.
  20. RANGERRAB
    Which directors are you referring to other than presumably Stockbridge ?
  21. RANGERRAB
    What talent ? Many young players got their chance last season in SFL3 and failed to take their opportunity. that's why McCoist went out & got the likes of Law,Daly,Moshni etc

    How did David Murray 'run us into the ground' ? Like many other clubs in the early 2000's we had large debts but he underwrote that in a share issue and our debts were just £6m when PLG arrived in 2006. Problems arose in the late 2000's when going out of europe to kaunus meant debts rose to around £30m and HBOS got taken over by LBG and we had those two delightful characters Fullerton and Kane in charge of its scottish business division. Guess who they support? LBG well & truly put us in a financial straight jacket despite the fact the debts were decreasing year on year although the two bhoys seemed more concerned with Rangers debt than the £700m MIH debt. SDM had his faults like abandoning ship and allowing the you-know-whos to take over the SFA and SPL but I do not think he ran us into the ground at least not deliberately anyway. Others contrived to our downfall
  23. RANGERRAB
    Doubt it. This is his second police assault offence.
  24. RANGERRAB
    Youths need to be good enough. Other than McLeod and Aird I'm not so sure any of the others are of the standard we require
  25. RANGERRAB
    We should give the board the opportunity to prove their worth over the coming months. I don't think yesterday's AGM result was the landslide some people called it because the reqs 30 percent could easily rise in the not too distant future if the board isn't seen to be performing.I'm genuinely concerned if this board have the know-how to raise funds & increase revenue which they'll have to do other than resorting to the old favourite increasing ST prices. I'm also concerned when I hear about cuts to playing staff. If we had a first team squad of 15 all earning between £8k to £12k p.w. Then that would be a wage bill of around £12m - £14m p.a.if you include management & coaching staff.Surely that is affordable when our revenues is currently around £20m. Making cuts to the first team could have a disasterous effect on attendances as was shown in the early 1980's when the numbers prepared to watch a poor side weren't high. I do however concede cuts may well need to be made at MP with all the youth teams, youth coaches and whatever else incurs costs there.
