Frankie 8,684 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Obviously Frankie, this somewhat contradicts your opinion that he'll be far and away before the first financial results become known. Maybe they are not that horrible as some might predict? Maybe but I'm not convinced. The quicker we find out the better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,114 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'd wait till the fat lady sings. Well the cat is now well and truly out of the bag! THE Board of Rangers confirms that, on 1 August 2013, it received a notice requisitioning a General Meeting of shareholders (the "Requisition") The Requisition puts forward resolutions for the removal of Craig Mather, Brian Stockbridge and Bryan Smart as directors of the Company and the appointment of Paul Murray and Frank Blin as directors of the Company. The Board is verifying whether the Requisition is properly constituted and further announcements will be made as appropriate. http://www.rangersfc.co.uk/news/headlines/item/4665-requisition-of-general-meeting 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I wonder why they're not trying to have Easdale removed? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Too scared. Are the Easdales important enough just now? Not sure tbh. I just thought it was curious that they were trying to remove Bryan Smart as a non-exec and not Easdale. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I am completely comfortable with the football costs if we're 33% of turnover or below and are getting reasonable value for money. Doesn't mean I'm not concerned about them. If we're bringing in 34k+ season ticket holders and average in the 40ks attendances then if we're making a loss, the problem does not seem to be the players wages. As I said before it means the other costs a disproportionate - and I don't see where it's hypocritical to start looking at strange consultancy fees, overblown CEO wages, bonuses and pay-offs as well as pretty much every other expense. 33% is very low for a football club and other clubs get away with up to about 60% - with our 90%ish uptake on stadium capacity we should be able to break even unless the board are doing something very wrong. If you can't run a team on 33% of turnover with 90% capacity then you I would suggest you are incompetent at running a football club and need to hand over to someone more able. To prioritise reducing the players wages from 33% to much lower to break even while employing useless consultants suggests that you are not in it for the football! Your arguments are very strange and you seem to have a unique definition of the words "concerned" and "hypocritical". Infrastructure and running costs can also contribute to loss making, especially since we have a top flight infrastructure in a part time division. We need to await the accounts before fully judging how badly the football club is being run if it all, all I mean is that if things are bad then there's several aspects that will need to be looked at. Until then I don't see the point in bemoaning Green's return because of wages when we don't even know what that wage is yet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Craig and Calscot seem rather comfortable with them. Bullshit, show me where either of us say that. Don't be making stuff up to suit your own agenda 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what the wage is, he doesn't have the appropriate skills for the jobs.... Would you employ Bernard Manning as a player ? Course not. So why employ/consult a guy with a penchant for lies to the position which probably requires more honesty than any other at the club ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably more qualified than any of us for the job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
