aweebluesoandso 290 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Great statement from Dougie there, one of many from the new board in the coming months i'm sure. I would ask the board to include in any of their statements, a rallying call to the world wide support to get involved in our reconstruction. It looks like we are going to get the numbers up for tuesday, and half-season tickets are selling well. But we can't rest on our laurels now A big recruitment drive needs to go with the obvious goodwill atm, I'll tell you this though Bears, it's good to feel welcome again at our club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sorry? "we" Douglas? When did it become "we"? You have immense wealth it would seem, but you don't have a diary or a watch, because you come very late to a party that is well under way. All I read in your statement is a bombastic attempt at crowd pleasing. All of us on this forum and others know where we stood and what we did to get rid of the parasites - but where the fuck were you when we needed a figurehead? Dave King and Paul Murray were, at least, in the fight from the start; they played a long game, they showed a dedication and a tenacity that will have cost them both in terms of finance and energy. But you, Douglas? Where were you in all of this? Nowhere, as far as I can remember - and yet you have the chutzpah to litter your statement with "we" this and "we" that? What did *you* do, with your great wealth? Where were you as a voice in the business community when we were getting violated by rats? The result against Cowdenbeath left me annoyed. Your statement leaves me worried. Deeply worried. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the Blue Knights were but a figment of our imagination eh? once you've stopped laughing, you'll be able to outline exactly how Park helped to unseat this board and exactly why he gets to use the pronoun 'we'? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he never bought a single share from Laxey Partners and the 5m shares he listed as holding is a typographical error? So Dave King was lying when he said on Friday that the £16m he offered the previous board to purchase new shares in Rangers was in fact £8m from himself and £8m from Douglas Park? He gets to use the "we" pronoun because he is one of us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statement leaves me worried. Deeply worried. I think that's a bit unfair. Despite illness and important personal life changes, Douglas has played his part in where we are now. Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they can cast aside everything else in their lives for the benefit us the rest of us. Let's just be thankful he's done his bit and seems understanding of where we are now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us on this forum and others know where we stood and what we did to get rid of the parasites - but where the fuck were you when we needed a figurehead? While I've got some sympathy with the crowd-pleasing part of your post, Park has been around in the background for a while, much of it unpublicised. He tried to buy the club from Murray before it was sold to Whyte. However I've had enough of statements. Green was very good at them also, and Whyte made a few good ones as well. I've heard words many times over the past 4 years and much have resulted in broken promises. Let's see some actions for a change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
