Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Realised the game's up or is there something nasty about to happen? It reminds of the scene in Ghostbusters when they think they've seen off the bad thing , just before it reappears as the marshmallow man, 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Bus tycoon James Easdale has resigned from Rangers' board, saying he is bowing to pressure from the Scottish Championship club's supporters. Easdale's brother and business partner, Sandy, is football club chairman and controls more than 20% of club shares. But James Easdale was one of four directors facing being voted off the board at a 6 March general meeting. And he said that surviving such a vote would be "a hollow victory for me without the fans' support". http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31618423 Interesting comment at the end, seems to imply he thinks the vote will not be won by KingCo?

Frankie 8,663 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 IMO the vote will be clear enough and that's why he's jumped ship and his bloc is dumping shares. But you're welcome to believe in Jack Irvine. After all you're happy to vote for his clients... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,663 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 From Jack's man at the Beeb: Chris McLaughlin This appears to be, on the face of it, a realisation from Rangers - not only from James Easdale, but the Rangers board perhaps - that the game is up. We know they face a fight for power come the EGM on 6 March. We know Dave King, the former director and current shareholder, is looking to clear out the current board. This is a start of a realisation of the board that they can't hold onto power. They don't have the shareholder backing to stay in the boardroom at Rangers. This looks to be the end of the Easdale era and I'm not sure too many Rangers fans will be disappointed by that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
