der Berliner 3,801 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 You didn't answer the question. Please, try again. Others have by now, and with reason. People can accept that or not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a highly-paid CEO get this wrong? There are no excuses here. People feel that they have been misled. There is a good reason for that. They have been. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not good enough for you, so be it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a CEO says that a business has enough cash when it actually doesn't, there is no-one to blame but the CEO. It would be strange if he was not being criticised for making such an inaccurate statement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,731 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 This gets to the crux of the matter. Instinctively, you just don't like to see a fellow fan speaking for others. You see fans reps as self-important and self-appointed and you dislike them for getting ideas above their station, and you are not alone. This attitude is quite common within the Rangers support and it is holding us back. If we are a group that cannot function as a democratic entity, we will get walked over by shrewd men in suits who understand only too well that your attitude is shared by others and that it makes us ripe for exploitation. We really have to move on from this. We need representation which means we absolutely need fan representatives. It needs to be understood that the club is owned by a plc. That Plc is owned by shareholders who elect a chairman, directors and more often than not a CEO to run that plc at an annual AGM. To change the chairman, directors & CEO requires the shareholders to do so.Organisations and individuals who have no shares will not be able to effect change. To believe otherwise is both foolhardy and dangerous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To believe otherwise is both foolhardy and dangerous. BuyRangers has over half a million shares. It is doing the right thing. It could have many millions though if it wasn't for those fans who dislike and distrust their fellow fans for trying to get fan representation and ownership. There is nothing - nothing - more dangerous than standing aside while the club is freely available for charlatans to buy. We invited disaster - and we got it. In spades. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It would be strange if he was not being criticised for making such an inaccurate statement. Criticism is not unwarranted but suspension or sacking appears to be over the top, based on some assumptions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Criticism is not unwarranted but suspension or sacking appears to be over the top, based on some assumptions. Words like these create pressure, that seems to be the idea. I mean pressure on not only the Board but also Shareholders and the Share price. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you if charged or found guilty obviously he would have to be sacked. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
