chilledbear 16 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 THE Directors of Rangers Football Club met with Dave King on Friday afternoon in Glasgow. It was a helpful, open and honest discussion, covering the important issues facing Rangers, the concerns of the fans and the Club's competitive aspirations. Both parties agreed that the aims of the Club are to compete at the highest levels of Scottish and European football. The Board confirmed that the development of the Club's business plan is being undertaken on this basis. Mr King was helpful in outlining the concerns of supporters in relation to communications from the Club and was reassured by plans to announce the results of the business review and trading update in the next few weeks, ahead of the season ticket renewal deadline, as part of the Club's commitment to improved supporter communication. In response to Mr King’s concerns about the security of Ibrox and Murray Park, the Board reiterated that it has no intention of using these properties for any measure of security. The Board has previously stated that investment in the Club will be required as part of the medium term strategy. This position remains unchanged, however the timing and amount of such future investment has not yet been finalised. Fans will be kept informed of the Club’s plans in this regard and the Board envisages that supporters would be given the opportunity to participate at the appropriate time. The Board and Mr King agreed that the meeting was productive and that both parties share a common vision for the future of the Club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 At least King elicited a very public statement on the future of Ibrox and Auchenhowie, for what it's worth. It looks like the board do not wish to give King a status greater than any other fan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 In response to Mr King’s concerns about the security of Ibrox and Murray Park, the Board reiterated that it has no intention of using these properties for any measure of security. As I said on the other thread, absolutely no chance whatsoever of the Board granting security over our main assets in return for ST money in the proposed trust scheme. Fans will be kept informed of the Club’s plans in this regard and the Board envisages that supporters would be given the opportunity to participate at the appropriate time. Interpretation - We confirm that there will be a rights issue and fans including Mr King can participate if they so wish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
