We'll need some money from somewhere to pay the bills/wages.

This is the 4th EGM to be called since June 2012. We are still waiting for the first to actually take place.

Andy Newport @AndyNewportPA · Rangers fans shout 'Sack the board', "Get out of our club you greedy b*stards" and "Ashley, Ashley get to f*ck" outside frontdoor of Ibrox Gordon Duncan @gordonduncan7 · Angry scenes as hundreds of fans gather outside Ibrox. "Easdales, get tae f**k" and "sack the board" ringing out.

Radio Clyde reporting a 'sizeable protest' and went over to listen to loud chants of 'Sack the board'. Well done to all those involved
-
That is encouraging to hear.
-
Well done to the RFB for coming out with this. It will be interesting to see any statement in full.

Could most of our directors over the past few years be classified as NOMADS ? Nomad: A member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place, usually seasonally and often following a traditional route or circuit according to the state of the pasturage or food supply.

What an embarrasment It's became standard fare, perhaps it's all really a Monty Python sketch.

Were you going oot wi Winston fae Still Game ? ...

I think the numbers of fans who actually voted in the RFB elections has to be taken into account when looking at the issue of representation. IIRC we were told that 683 voted for FS. Then look at the numbers of empty blue seats and approximately 15,000 shortfall in ST numbers for this season. ps. that isn't meant as a slight on FS. It is simply to illustrate a general point.
-
The viability of the club and of any proposal going forward depends on the fans financial support. If broadly unified in collective opinion and radical enough, the support could at a stroke show the RIFC board that the Ashley proposal didn't have a hope in hell of working. The recent events are for the first time in a long while, unifying supporter opinion. The support do have power and this is why the likes of Irvine has played such an important part in this whole soap opera. Note that we had McMurdo's 'timely' propaganda piece appear yesterday.
-
The RIFC board will not sanction a body that poses a threat to their own interests, period. The real problem is in and around the RIFC board, the RFB are a powerless irrelevance in these matters and are currently demonstrating what most of us knew.......... Until we rid ourselves of RIFC directors who are more interested in themselves or related parties we will never have a chance of securing a firm base to build upon, including any fans representation.
-
Yes, it would send a loud message but neither will I be holding my breath for a mass resignation. The RFB is typical of the whole soap opera. It's not black or white, but a tone of grey which can be sold on the white whilst hiding the black. Another pertinent example is the 'blue pound'. The club need it to survive (white) but the onerous contracts require it for them to be serviced (black) and encourage their beneficiaries to stick around. In effect, a sp.iv tax. The most effective measures, whether spin or more tangible are often grey.
-
IMO our energies should presently be focused on the RIFC board. If the RFB are as expected, an irrelevance in these type of matters, then they only expose the major flaw at the heart of their remit. They self-harm regards credibility. You have to consider this in the context of the proposal that was welcomed by Sandy Easdale. That they (RFB) become the only 'fans group/body' to have direct dialogue with the RIFC/TRFC boards.

Notice lodged to remortgage Ibrox and Auchenhowie to Sports Direct

Re. Toxic Blogger On days such as yesterday, a 'rapid response' at a strategical time helps us understand some of the dynamics of the moment. It says that: - the moment is considered important by Irvine regards fan opinion and interpretation of actual events. - Those who give Irvine his remit (Easdales/Easdale block) have informed him of general situation and asked him to act accordingly. This also suggest that Easdales/Easdale block are very much in bed with MASH (could be a unified onerous interest to keep executive control fom 'blue eyes'). -
The RFB are becoming an irrelavent distraction when it comes to the ongoing actions in the RIFC boardroom. They either take extraordinary actions in extraordinary times (ie. outwith set guidelines/protocol) or they silently continue as they were and thus should be ignored and accepted for what it is (ie.designed to be powerless against RIFC board).

McMurdo is simply a tool of spin who is used by Irvine, to further the interests of his clients. To try and pretend otherwise is to patronise the supports intelligence and lie to them. -
Ibrox is a hugely important part of our club and it's history but I think there is a greater issue in play. The very soul of our football club has been steadily losing it's roots over the past few years and is in real danger of being cast adrift and claimed by Sports Direct. For them to wrap up a new soulless franchise, to go big on austerity, moonbeams (April/May), austerity, mediocrity, expectation management, mediocrity............... Being realistic, austerity and new business model will be required by whoever was to come in but the broad difference is that one set will prioritise the beneficial interests of Sports Direct (MASH) and the other Rangers (LP&T). We are in an extremely deep hole but going down the Sports Direct road will rip the soul out of our club and it would be Rangers in name only.

Part of article in link.......... ------------------------- So it would appear as if the board of RIFC (which seems to be very Sports Direct orientated these days) asked Letham, Park & Taylor for 5M which allowed the boss of Sports Direct to trump them with 10M. In so doing, allowing MASH to get control of the negotiating with the notice to lodge to use Ibrox and Auchenhowie as security and not asking LP&T for an improved offer before so doing.......to avoid using Ibrox as a security as previously pledged by this board. That looks BAD and is surely another example of the Sports Direct boys and sp.ivs (in other words the RIFC board plus shadow director S.Easdale) being in this together in a desperate attempt to keep prying eyes from what is under the bonnet.

Regards 'political matters', the RFB hasn't been designed to be able to cause 'public problems' for the RIFC or TRFC boards, ones that might lead the broader fanbase to issues, pertinent questions and possible subseqent action(s).

No doubt having a word with his 'buddy' Paul Shackleton. 'The Fluid Process' of various stages continues, it was inevitable that the main assets would come under threat or have came under threat since that fateful day in May 2011 when Sir Duped signed it all over to Craig Whyte. The only doubt was timing unless someone came in with 'funny money' or the support acted as one in a considered and intelligent way. We await developments. -
One other significant variable to bare in mind when it comes to comparing Moyes and LVG wrt to League points total, is that Moyes had a midweek Champions League campaign to deal with whilst LVG has next to no midweek games (European or League Cup). So with that in mind, Moyes (via CL) must have brought in over 30M pounds or at least enough to cover the 27.5M on the graphic above. LVG wasn't expected to win the title but he will have been expected to qualify directly for the CL or at the very least indirectly through 4th place. If he didn't achieve this, he'd be vulnerable. Question If Everton or Spurs were to win the Eurpa League and qualify for the CL 2015/16, then would that mean 4th place in the League (EPL) wouldn't ? ------------------------------------------------------- I think you have to begin to focus criticism on the Manchester United board regarding their managerial appointments.
-
This is where LVG has questions to answer and problems to solve.

Not really, it's a load of 'irrelevant tosh' that only goes to emphasis the lack of meaningful material out there that may be perceived as positive wrt to our situation today. Mike likes a drink and is just a down to earth guy,................and the point is caller ???......... Taking tabloid filler tosh to new levels !!

If Manchester United are a goal behind then those last 15 minutes painted a dark picture for 'The Reds'. The minimum you'd have expected was urgency, waves of attacking and some chances being created, there was none of that. There is something wrong when the likes of Rooney, Van Persie, Mata and De Maria are all part of a team devoid of creativity, fluency, and attacking threat.
