Don't need to a photoshop genius to want a 'bash' at Eva !

I'm sure at least 30p will go to Rangers. Rangers Retail (51%) and Sports Direct (49%)..............The partnership that at face value RR seem to have control but dig a little and you find in a vote that the SD shares count double. Therefore on votes on matters financial SD have control. An "onerous contract" ?

BH, could you answer Forlan's question about the 19M please. You haven't gone into Charles Green mode have you, only wanting to speak about external debt ?

David Somers buys 35,000 shares + Easdale buys more shares
buster. replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Ironic that Somers seemed to be on 'doubletime' during:- - the times he had a memory loss (when asked on various occasions about who had recommended him/remembered post-AGM/it was the Green friendly Nomad, DStewart) - the time when he was so 'in tune' that he thought the red card protest was something to do with Aparthied. - the time he penned the infamous Open Letter that saw the independent chairman cast abuse in direction of some standing at the AGM, praise Stockbridge to the rafters, let out the bag that the business review had already started (2 weeks before AGM and start of the fabled 120 days) etc. etc. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/5759-an-open-letter-from-the-chairman When we think of extra dosh for the likes of Jack Irvine etc, for individuals to win the AGM vote it seems to have cost the club a fair amount of cash. I don't think Wallace would have been able to push for such numbers plus bonus if there hadn't been an up and coming AGM. -
For once I agree !!

No, I mean that there isn't reasonable grounds to trust the current board that are in part backed by the same major shareholders that were behind Green. They have shown an unwillingness to be meaningfully transparent despite noises to the contrary. They have shown an unwillingness to meaningfully engage with the support and address 'issues'. They sign spin doctors instead of scouts. They award 100% bonus to CEO after saying bonus culture was finished and not even his contract is clear how it is triggered. Somers has on occasion misled supporters. Wallace has on occasion misled and lied to supporters. Easdale is a convicted fraudster. The Easdales MO down in Inverclyde has............(leaves rest blank so as not to get forum in bother) A.Easdale was the Green replacement front for broadly similar proxies. Laxey in their very few communications misled and lied to supporters. Tell the court one thing about our financial state while Easdale.A tells the world the opposite. I could go on and on and on and on with much more specifics................. But if you want to Trust them as you did with Charles Green it's your call. Bet your glad you didn't give your credit card to the man with the big hands. This lot have got us into such a state that today they can't even take it. As for the 'membership scheme' that will be 'managed' and exploited in an effort to marginalise disent and control discourse. Aswell as bring money into the pot, from which they will find their creative ways to take their cut, it's what those type of people do for a living.

I'm afraid I've increased that average LOL.......and won't be buying the top in the OP either.

Many have said the same as you for the past few years only to later find individuals leaving Ibrox with wheelbarrows of cash, all of the money spent and little to show for it. The best thing would have been to have starved them out in the sumer of 2012 and we'd have been further forward today regards a constructive way ahead. The crux of the problem is that we can't TRUST the people in charge.

What about Bishop Associates ? A PR consultancy already under contract to Rangers from the Green days. http://keithbishopassociates.com/rangers-fc/
-
According to Mr.Green that doesn't count though,....he was always declaring that the club had no (external) debt. !!!
-
No wonder corporate vultures were queuing up at Ibrox. Someone on here said that you were/are a fan of Charles Green,....I'm surprised it wasn't the other way around LOL
-
As we have seen individuals and backers have in our recent history had a horribly toxic effect on the club and there is a process in-play where one lot hand the baton on to another for a different stage, etc. Let this continue and we fade away whilst making the corporate vultures more money. Time to make a stand. Loyalty is one thing, what we don't need is the blind loyalty that is asked. They might aswell ask us to keep bending over.
-
It's your money and your call. My own view is that for once the support (or as many as possible) need to stand firm and say enough is enough. It might be a PLC where shareholder rules but when presented as a business it might want to listen to it's customers for once. It's not even if it's ordinary complaints about the 'product', it's about more serious issues that threaten the longterm competitivity/future of the club. Why not hold off until you get back ? See what the ly of the land is then....
-
Nothing ominous whatsoever. Just saying as you'd earlier mentioned that I might know you or that you had been in the RST. I didn't know you at all until I saw a another post of yours and obviously the penny dropped.
-
Maybe GW is doubling up as clothes designer but didn't want to take the credit and thought the club could pay him via a bonus and just not be very clear about what triggers the 100% bonus it in the contract. ps. Joke
-
You could add a group who think that they are being loyal to the club but in fact are being led by the 'Pied Pipers' who are in the very very small band of the 'complicit', some of whom are being led themselves. ps. there is no escaping that the executive control in the boardroom/major shareholders shapes the club itself, more especially in recent years post-CW. It's not been pretty and blind loyalty to what isn't the type of club I grew up supporting hasn't got us very far, it has only made some very rich.
-
For transparency during 'crisis-management' the club appoint a spin-doctor (ie. professional misleaders or masseurs of the truth). Does this inspire confidence in the business review ..............or anything else they do or say ? Could GW, the man of 100% bonus territory not have it within his CV to communicate effectively without someone holding his hand ? A business review that aspires to be SPFL Champions within 3 seasons and delivered by a CEO who needs 150 days to realise we need a scouting system but prioritises a spin-doctor.

As per the call from (IIRC) Forlan yesterday. -
Ask yourself why they won't genuinely engage. Engagement and Communication is fine if on their terms and you are prepared not to be what they might judge as 'awkward' or ask pertinent questions. Any initiatives from this board (including membership schemes) will look to control dialogue and marginalise 'troublesome' supporters groups.
-
I don't think it has been quite as simple as that. Unless individuals were willing to spend disproportionate levels of money just to get in the door/ hold real influence or control. Then you have to realise what you are taking on. The expectation levels allied to the available income streams and location (SPFL) mean that it is a difficult juggling act that can have millions thrown at it but still fail. All in all I agree with you that for various reasons we are going through what is a 'long-running before and after event'. The club is a shambles at all levels playing in a league without a sponser. A positive might be that you'd think it could only get better but I'm afraid that isn't necessarily the case. ps. I now realise who you are thank's to other forums on Gersnet.

This is what was said in court by the QC after taking instruction from Rangers the other day. Alasdair Lamont @BBCAlLamont 4 min Mr Summers QC says Rangers wish Union of Fans would "go away to allow the club to move on".
-
Don't you think that after you showed such patience in the past only for it to be 'abused' that more timely criticism/action may be in order this time ?

Solidarity is required. One man makes no difference. Thousands who stand together can make a difference and force change/influence events.
