I've followed him on FF for many years and would be an asset to the organisation. I know one of the others but don't have a clue as to his motivation. There are legal reasons why the club can't do that. I don't mean in the exact same fashion necessarily. Surely there are ways. they did it at the last share issue with a partner. The bunnet did it at Celtc with finance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Shares of thousands of companies are issued and traded every day, all across the world. Transactions range from vast sums of money to an individual buying a few penny shares. There is a system for this and it works perfectly well without the equivalent of a Club1872 intervening between buyer and seller. There is absolutely no need for these grandiose intermediaries. Surely there could be no purer expression of fan ownership than fans actually owning shares and having their own voice. Club1872 is only relevant when people feel they need someone else to tell them what to do and that is never a healthy option - as we can clearly see today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are letting your distaste of what Club 1872 stand for - the collective ownership of shares- colour your judgment. Full disclosure - I'm a member of Club 1872, having first been with Rangers First. I also see nothing wrong with collective action to further a cause. I'm a member of many organisations and while not agreeing with everything they do, my shared belief In their aims are enough for me. Anyone who is a member of a political party goes through this all the time. I don't know if it is easy to buy Rangers shares as I thought they were not on a trading platform. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my earlier post, maybe due to the scars from the last 12 years or so, I am sceptical of everyone (well almost) 🙂 would be good if we could get a fans organisation we could all get behind and who looked after not just the club's, but the fans best interests. Maybe one day we will mate..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do dislike are their methods and complete lack of any achievable benefit to Rangers. I understand how hard it is to accept you’ve been funding something for no good reason but Club1872 is increasingly an irrelevance, sucking money out of fans’ pockets for no conceivable outcome. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
