andy steel 0 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) The day I take lessons from Easdale on what is and isn't in the best interests of Rangers, there'll be proper fiscal responsibility in Ibrox. Can it be that even after everything he doesn't grasp how detested he is? He lost his right to tell fans what is in Rangers best interests when he started hocking the club off to Mike Ashley. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30922826 Rangers director Sandy Easdale has said police are investigating threats made against him amid the ongoing and acrimonious battle for the Ibrox club. Officers are believed to be monitoring his home after internet posts allegedly urged fans to attack his house in a bid to remove him from the club. Mr Easdale, 47, said he had also received threats by email and letter. Last week, several hundred fans protested outside Ibrox stadium against the current Rangers board. In a statement released to the BBC, Mr Easdale said: "I have received several threats that are now in the hands of the authorities and I am confident that Police Scotland will get to the bottom of this. 'Violence and intimidation' "I appreciate that feelings are running high but I would like to make an appeal for calm. "This sort of behaviour is not in the best interests of the club, its shareholders or its true supporters." Mr Easdale said members of the Rangers board had been "subjected to an unprecedented level of abuse". "People are entitled to air their views but I hope that all parties will agree that violence and intimidation are unacceptable," he said. "All I want to see is the best possible outcome for Rangers." Police Scotland said it did not comment on operational details. Various fans groups have voiced opposition to the Rangers board for some time amid ongoing financial problems. It is understood that the club cannot pay this month's wage bill and needs immediate funding. A £10m loan has been offered by Mike Ashley, the owner of Sports Direct and Newcastle United, who holds an 8.92% stake in Rangers International Football Club - the football club's holding company. In return, Mr Ashley wants security over Ibrox stadium and its Murray Park training complex - a move that has enraged some fans who say the stadium should never be in danger of being taken away from the club's control. About 600 supporters demonstrated before and after the club's abandoned Championship game against Hearts on Friday. Following reports of disturbances, police arrested one man and said they expected to make more arrests after studying CCTV footage.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think rangers fans have been remarkably restrained where the easdales are concerned. That won't last forever I don't imagine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little General 80 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 "This sort of behaviour is not in the best interests of the club, its shareholders or its true supporters." who are the "true supporters" Merlin and his ilk? I would suspect there has been no threats made. the spin coming from inside Ibrox just now is desperate to say the least. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon 1,525 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think Rangers fans have been remarkably restrained throughout this whole mess. Something that an objective press would pick up on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I admit this has wound me up, which no doubt was the intention. But anyway: 'Violence and intimidation'"I appreciate that feelings are running high but I would like to make an appeal for calm. Why act like a bouncer at the AGM, then? If you want calm don't stir the pot. "This sort of behaviour is not in the best interests of the club, its shareholders or its true supporters." We know who you act for and why. It's neither Rangers nor Rangers best interests. Mr Easdale said members of the Rangers board had been "subjected to an unprecedented level of abuse". Possibly related to the unprecedented level of incompetence, mendacity and stupidity emanating from the boardroom. "People are entitled to air their views but I hope that all parties will agree that violence and intimidation are unacceptable," he said. I suppose a generic agreement is called for here, but really, if you make your bed you have to lie in it. "All I want to see is the best possible outcome for Rangers." No, you don't. You want the best outcome for yourself and MASH. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 He's got some brass neck to talk about intimidation considering the amount of Rangers fans, forums and websites who've been sent legal threats by lawyers working for him and his pals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) every comment from them tries to encourage the belief there is a split in the consensus regarding the board.There is no split. The only disagreement is in how far we should go to remove you. Edited January 21, 2015 by trublusince1982 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,994 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What I still don't understand is just who would entrust them with their proxy votes?? How did these people become acquainted with the Easdales? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
