Well done to the Bears involved. Maybe now Lambliar and Leach know this ain't Newcastle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I disagree I think it just underlines today's big news and further unites the fans against the board. GreenCo had a notable history of pulling wacky PR stunts (even if it was BAD PR) to distract people from bigger news such as Green's 'paki friend' stuff pulled off do deliberately distract everyone away from the major story of the time which was his links to Craig Whyte and the lies he'd been telling related to that. A can of worms was being opened and it was convenient for Green to throw himself under the bus to distract folks' attention because it also gave him a cosy get-out ticket and a free pass to fill his boots with a fat pay-off. This Novo stuff is clearly a different sort of situation, but IMO it is almost certainly a deliberate distraction set up by people intent on running interference. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF has to be the tamest fan group known to man. It says nothing, keeps out of club politics, doesn't vociferously oppose the board and is probably the one group that this board would feel able to do business with. The idea that an ex-player joining them has met with club disapproval is extremely far-fetched. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho may well have been deemed a persona non grata by the Rangers directors much like John Brown has been, but yes, the idea that it's due to him joining RangersFirst is definitely far-fetched and the timing of it sets alarm bells off that it's also a manufactured distraction. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmu 0 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There is another angle and to be honest I've been a bit pissed that murray park has been a drop in centre for ex players and rehab junkies (Gordon ). Mcdowels focus should be 100% focused on this week's game and if novo had any respect he would stay the fuck away. And I'm no supporter of this board.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that an ex-player joining them has met with club disapproval is extremely far-fetched. Also the largest group at the moment with over 6000+ Membears. Added to the upsurge that RST has seen since RF came into existence it has been a massively positive movement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is - I don't see the positive for the board. More people are joining RF as a result of this which in turn will mean that more shares are likely to be used against them at the egm. Strange move if you want a distraction - its like they are trying to mobilise the support 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange move if you want a distraction - its like they are trying to mobilise the support The positive for the incumbent regime and those they represent Greg, is that hundreds (more like thousands!) of fans tonight are discussing Nacho instead of discussing today's really important announcement regarding the new Ashley deal and tomorrow the press will be littered with the Nacho story which dilutes the real story. These people running the show clearly don't give a shit about the Club or the fans and that's been very apparent for quite a long time now, almost 4 years in fact, but even if we just concentrate on the past 30 months or so since GreenCo took over, then the level of lies, deceit and propaganda we've been served up is unlike any other period in the Club's history. The support can get behind FO schemes all it likes, but unless Rangers fans are buying very large tranches of shares from the GreenCo/BPH/Margarita/Easdale (etc etc) group of shareholders hidden behind Beaufort Nominees, then the incumbent regime have effective control via Sandy Easdale's proxy votes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
