    They had to issue some sort of statement. I have some sympathy with them as they have to be careful what they say prior to any formal proceedings.
  2. Bluedell
    You may have better or more detailed information than me, but it could be that not all resignations are related to this latest issue (I'm not denying that some will probably be).
  3. Bluedell
    The way that you are being treated is rubbish. Is there nobody you can speak to on this? Perhaps email Susan Hannah?
  4. Bluedell
    It depends on what the issues are. Perhaps not serious for the club per se, but it could be serious for the RST. Totally agree. Not relevant.
  5. Bluedell
    It sounds a lot more serious than an argument if both parties have removed themselves from their positions.There have been plenty of arguments between board members over the years but people don't often remove themselves from their positions. Agree with your comment not being professional if it was that person who ran to the media, but in the same line, using "scum" in a statement isn't either. This is one of the worst times for it to happen to the RST and they need to deal with it all quickly and clearly.

    I doubt he will last long after doing that.
  7. Bluedell
    No surprise that the current board has more than 50% of the votes.

    Because I'm not THAT interested? Not sure why you've got defensive about my fairly reasonable question. I'm sure I raise questions about the club on here all the time but I'm not going to email the club chairman every time. Asking questions on here is what being on a forum is all about. However it is strange that the RST website no longer lists the board members, something I commented on a few weeks ago.
  9. Bluedell
    Because he's the one named in the article? Because he's one of the few current board members that I know? I'm interested to know of he is one of the board members that have resigned or whether he hasn't and there are others who have. I believe that I've mentioned him in one post on this thread. Hardly "fixated"

    So has Mark Dingwall stood down from the board, even if on a temporary basis?
  11. Bluedell
    The RST did handle the matter extremely badly and the failure to allow the issue to be discussed at the appropriate part of the meeting lost them credibility in my eyes.
  12. Bluedell
    I'm fairly sure it's not.
  13. Bluedell
    Are you talking about the Glory, Glory Glasgow Rangers LP from the 70s?
  14. Bluedell
    Yeah, that's a problem with many of the UVF songs as well...and possibly TBB and the use of the F word. I know what I meant when I sang TBB and never once did I equate the F word with RC. However I'm sure that there are some that did and that's where the problem lies. It's probably even more prevalent with the other songs.
  15. Bluedell
    Or put the trolls on "ignore" as I've done. Makes life far easier.

    Perhaps I'm missing something but these lyrics could be about joining the modern day IRA, could they not and therefore are comparible to the ones Ryan quoted? These lyrics would be more akin to A Fathers Advice, I'd have thought?

    Saying all that, the major reasons for the debt reduction were due to events on the pitch and didn't have a great deal to do with a non-exec director. I'm sure he had a bit to do with overall strategy but day-to-day cost control would have been more Bain's area, or possibly Muir's. It's probably difficult for Murray to explain what influence he did have as these things tend to be intangible. I don't have a huge idea as to whether he would make a good, bad or indifferent director of the club and I'm sure virtually all others won't either, despite the claims of support or rejection. Some will point to his record but he has specific areas of expertise and the day-to-day running of a business isn't one of them. These things aren't black and white. The reason why I voted against him is that he is now seen as divisive. That's perhaps a bit unfair on him, but he's had other opportunities and failed and that's a consequence.
  18. Bluedell
    PS for the record, that wouldn't affect net debt.
  19. Bluedell
    I don't see why PM would not know the debt as he would be given management accounts etc. The point on the players is that cash would probably have flowed out the business to pay for a proportion of them, increasing the debt. There was a significant amount of trading during the 12 week period and you appeared to be trying to imply that the financial position would be practically unchanged, something that is clearly not the case. I don't know, and as you are asking the question, you appear not to either, which implies that you don't know whether he was accurate or not...so much for only quoting facts. Player signed for a reported total of over £9m plus signing on fees etc would not have an impact on the net debt figure? If they were all paid upfront then it would have an impact of £9m on the net debt. Plus outgoings in excess of £3m a month? While I would expect that the net debt would not change by as much as £19m, it could have changed fairly significantly (in excess of £10M?) and as neither of us know what figure PM was referring to, it makes any attempted analysis meaningless.
  20. Bluedell
    I don't know, but none of the debt figures when he joined the board were available. At the end of the previous financial year the debt figure stood at 27.5m. As I've said there were numerous player purchaes but we don't know the timing of these so it's impossible to calculate what the figures were when he joined. There would also be the usual inflows and outflows. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he stated the debt figures correctly.
  21. Bluedell
    in so many ways.
  22. Bluedell
    I really can't be bothered going through the whole of this but I state the following just based on this small part of it: 1. Our net debt at 30/6/07 was £16.5m, but it was not that when PM joined the club on 20/9/07 2. It was almost 12 weeks since the year end when PM joined the board and not just "a few weeks" 3. PM is quoted as referring about "debt" and not "net debt" so the OP is comparing apples and oranges. 4. From memory (and I stand to be corrected on this) between the year end and PM joining the board we signed McCulloch, Whittaker, Cuellar, Cousin and Naismith and signed some other players on freebies as well. All of this would have an impact on the debt level when PM joined the club. Also just because PM met the new directors, it doesn't mean there was an meaningful engagement. It's another mud-slinging exercise for the sake of it, and and the author yet again shows a lack of objectivity. As I've said before, PM may well have his weaknesses but you aren't going to find out from this. And I'm saying that as someone who voted against his election in the RST poll.
  23. Bluedell
    Probably more the fact that they can't be criticised at the AGM for not having them in place.

    There's been very litle speculation and the fact that the club have issued a statement is very telling. Read the above as "Please come and get Lee Wallace as we need the the cash to help plug the gap until sseason ticket cash comes in,"
