Email to Rangers Fan Board RE: No confidence in club directors
buster. replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Although I think the RFB have been set-up/designed so as not to be able to trouble the RIFC boardroom on such political matters, it comes down to the individual representatives, how strongly they feel about the ongoing executive management and the volume of feedback they receive, especailly the extraordinary situation where the board of RIFC seem to be more interested in SD interests. As a fans board, they face a similar question of potential conflict. Do the Rangers FANS board decide to represent the majority fan opinion or will they be more interested in protecting RIFC(SD) interests? Extraordinary circumstances may require an 'extraordinary response'. -
Yes, you'd expect statements from various people/groups but you'd also expect that they'd need time to consider their initial response carefully.

For far too long, energy and focus has been diverted towards false or inconsequential battles when the real enemy has been within. When you have that cancer borrowing away inside you for more than a decade then it threatens your existence. When the treatment administered is to actually to introduce more virulent forms of a toxic disease then survival in a normal state is unlikely.

Llambias and Leach at Ibrox yesterday. .

I'd imagine that Ashley will now try and woo the 3 Bears so as to to avoid the EGM. Just offer them 'enough' to make it interesting but retain control. A considerable amount of money would be required by any new executive management team post General Meeting and therein is a large poison pill which might make it easier to accept any Ashley offer. If this were to happen then it's Sports Direct FC and a soulless football club. I only hope that there are sufficient grounds for challanging the RIFC board re. related party transactions going back to 2012 and if so, that there is a will to go down that path.
-
No surprise, usual Ashley MO in action. The legal question has to be if the RIFC board are acting in the best interests of Rangers or Sports Direct. EGM: Vote the incumbent board off Money needed to get out of SD clutches and then some more. Meanwhile, not a penny more.

Celtic fans band together for new club Gers advert

Unless you recognise your own fundamental mistakes you never learn from them. Quite apart from the natural partisan reaction and view on another set of supporters, we have to acknowledge our own failings or what happens is, you remain susceptible to repeating your mistake. Being able to read doesn't mean that you won't be fooled. In fact, being able to read has proved to be a disadvantage for many. -
We can only hope that any current police investigations into the sale of assets (2012) and/or events in and around the IPO are comprehensive and successful.

I wonder if Derek Llambias is a major shareholder in KBPR Ltd.
-
Llambias: .................It would appear as if it is 'was a director' of Keith Bishop Public Relations Ltd.(KBPR) See the annoucement to LSE http://rangers.g3dhosting.com/regulatory_news_article/411 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The invoice is from Keith Bishop Associates (KBA). However the two are obviously linked. The website address of KBA is http://www.kbapr.com The contact e-mail address on KBA website is info@kbapr.com ------------------------------- Below is an extract from a post linked above #7

Celtic fans band together for new club Gers advert
buster. replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I don't think many people will actually read the text of the advert in full due to both where they stand in the argument and the dull, boring, repetitive nature of the prose. Rangers fans:.......Have heard it before, think it's shite. Celtic fans & 'politised' neutrals:........... Have heard it before, don't need convincing. 'Unpolitised' neutrals:...........Not bothered and increasingly think Celtic fans have changed spots from paranoia to obsession. Journalist/Pundit:.......... Reads two paragraphs and knows he has ammo to call Celtc fans obsessive in lead-up to 'Old-Firm' match. Non football fan:........Turn the page Parting with 3,000 pounds to be further labelled as obsessives isn't a wise spend. -

On the face of it,...it sounds encouraging but I'm like you SBS, I trust MASH and the Easdale block as far as I could throw them. As usual there seems to be no information flow from the club to the support. I don't really know what the situation is or see any links that may provide it.

On the face of it, that sounds encouraging but Mike,...............we need more information that that. Why not have our CEO fully inform us instead of Sky Sports.

I've already had my say on the individual but would like to say a word or two on the RFB as a whole. I agree with what you say Bluedell but would personaly qualify those hopes and aspirations with what I see as harsh reality. With regard to standing up to the club in a meaningful way and advancing on the fundamental issues of today and these last few years, the RFB has been set-up to fail or at least, will not be allowed to succeed. If in fundamental disagreement with the RIFC/TRFC board(s), the limit as to how far they could go would be to resign from their positions, individually or collectivelly. The latter wouldn't happen until it were too late. The main problem is obviously the RIFC/TRFC executive and the influences surrounding them. As it stands, in the grand scheme of the Rangers Soap Opera,....... the RFB are an irrelevance regards gaining significant metres but will be used by RIFC/TRFC where possible to further their respective interests. With this in mind we shouldn't invest too much hope in their political labours, nor take too much notice of what they do. Let them get on with their individual responsibilities and at least hope they do some good there. Not losing sight of where they might represent the club more than the fans.

Gennaro Gattuso wants to be the new Gers boss
buster. replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
It's like another contestent wants to enter the reality TV show 'Carry on Rangers'. -
They say there is no such thing as bad publicity but Rangers buck that trend. The club as it stands, hasn't a hope in hell of raising any significant cash through a membership scheme.
-
I never thought it would be anyone else. This game was always going to get what they consider as their best and most experienced referee.
-
This isn't personal in that sense, it's more about a representative on the RFB and what should or can reasonably be expected of them, regardless of his or her name.
-
I would imagine that the RFB would look for the trait of 'awareness' in their members regards what they do or say in public places, both in their duties connected to the RFB and personal views on Rangers related matters. I'd have thought that the representative working on Communications Initiatives in Social Media for the RFB would be expected to apply a reasonable degree of care and awareness regards their personal use of the medium, more especially on Rangers issues whether that be on behalf of the RFB or expressing their own views. Care Quite apart from any debate on her undoubted freedom and right to express a personal view, the question is whether it was wise of her to do so and if it could be considered as poor judgement. You can bat that back and forth. My view is that she is free to express her views but that it wasn't wise and should be considered as poor judgement given her RFB work on Social Media. Lack of Awareness Here it is more difficult to mount a defence. In the first message she names individuals and says that they "are all in it for themselves and their own public profile and TV dinner spot." Then in her next message she says that she is "really happy with the way the fans board is progressing though so that is a big positive for me". These two posts taken together display hypocrisy and a seeming lack of awareness that she has actually set herself up this way. This might be considered as nothing but here we have the RFB representative who is dealing with Social Media and Communication. She should at least be told to display more care, better judgement and awareness in the future. For context, I'll post up the passage displayed.

He is like a footballer who picks up a decent wage but hardly ever plays and when he does you don´t notice him on the ball, only making a fanny of himself by getting sent off for verbose industrial language. ...

Richard Wilson has an excellent grasp on the facts of the Rangers saga, probably better than any other journalist. To a degree he also provides balance where needed when the likes of Chris McLaughlin come on to give an exclusive and often slant from Toxic Jack. One to one RW would tear anyone of the others a new one if allowed and he would do so with calm reasoned facts and detail. Some of the others glean the outline of an argument from social media sites like TSFM and go with it but can often be caught out because they haven´t really done much in the way of deep research. IIRC English was involved in twitter a lot when the news of DK´s tax settlement came through and he decided to go with it and now pushes everytime an opportunity comes up. I guess he is looking for an angle to grab hold of in the Rangers narrative and it is easier than keeping up with new developments in detail. Spiers is the worst of the lot for this and is a pathetic excuse of a journalist who doesn´t really understand football that well, nor has ever bothered to try that hard. Irvine recruited him for occasional use when he started to do more BBC work. Only in Scotland would Spiers get away with being such a lazy fraud.
