UCF2008

The fans need to stand up and be counted. A clear message needs to be sent to the board and if need be the investors that the lifeblood of the club won't continue to flow if changes aren't made.

A company in the business of providing a successful football team first and foremost. If other costs are the issue then they're the one's which should be cut.

It's a good bit less than our turnover so where's the IPO money gone?

Team wages including coaching staff only cover a small fraction of the money that's apparently disappeared from the club. Hopefully the accounts can properly explain it, but I have my doubts on that.

Aye, if you don't count all your 'worst result ever?' threads

The resolution calls for the removal of 3 directors to be replaced by 2. I don't see how that can be adding to the pot. Now that Walters stepped down, we'll need a new chairman. Who's in line for that?

I think part of the problem was and still is that McColl doesn't want control of Rangers. Same as the rest of us he wants those who are in control to be looking after the club.

He can do, but beyond what's in his statement I don't expect to hear much more from him. Mathers earlier statement seemed to show some concern that Walter might spill the beans on exactly what's been going on at the club. We've come to expect that sort of behavior from some, but for Walter it's a case of doing what's best for the club. Which is why he hasn't aired our dirty laundry in public with this statement.

If that's the case I doubt very much that Walter would have been neutral. His statement certainly doesn't seem very neutral to me.

What's so difficult for you to understand? If you don't get it, I do worry about the wider support trying to figure this out. He's wanting the board to accept the resolutions and for the fans to apply pressure on them to do so.

Including the CEO apparently

As a director. Not necessarily as CEO though.

I didn't make any comparison as far as I can see.

To get back on track... I'm extremely disappointed and concerned to see Walter stepping down. I also find some of the comments in Mathers statement worrying. What truth could Walter tell which could harm the club? If there is a bright side it's that hopefully a takeover is imminent and Walter's just making way to avoid a conflict of interests. Anything else is very frightening indeed.

yes, those 3 do skew the average experience figure somewhat don't they?

I stand by what I said before, but maybe you'd like to find me a less experienced post war Rangers side

If we had a trustworthy board in place I might agree with you. Sadly we don't

McCoist's comments were spot on. He highlighted the need for experienced players to come in and help some of the younger lads out. They may or may not be the worst Rangers team ever but the squad Ally had at his disposal for Saturdays game was arguably the most inexperienced ever.

Greens press statements were as usual so calculated you'd think he and his 'paki friend' had been scouring internet forums to calculate exactly what the Greenco fans wanted to hear

So we'd effectively be ineligible for European competition for a further 3 years including this season? Or would it be 4?

I have to be honest and say that I was more surprised by the reaction to Mathers comments than the comments themselves. I didn't agree with everything he said, but to me at least it made perfect sense why he made that statement. The requisition was afterall calling for the removal of himself and two of his fellow directors. Also I thought it wasn't too dissimilar to a few statements Green made last year shortly before and after taking on the role of CEO. One diference is that Mather didn't resort to riduculous stereotyping talking about Braveheart and Mel Gibson and the other is that at least those Mel Gibson types were offering to buy the club.

Obviously or else he wouldn't be trying to weasel his way back into power at the club. Unbelelievable. I'll tell you, if I was one of those fans who'd given Green my full support, I'd feel really let down by the way he's acted. I feel sorry for them. I honestly do. There's still one or two nutters who think the sun shines out Greens rear end, but I think he's lost most of his support now. [/sARCASM]

Would we really? To me it wouldn't matter who at the club said it. It's arrogant, unsportsmanlike and unbefitting our club. I wouldn't even expect TLB to stoop so low as to start off a season by announcing to the press how they should be winning this and that competition.

Apparently according to reports today it could lead to Mather being removed as a director but kept on as CEO if the requisition is successful.

It's all a little bit confusing tbh. Take Easedale for instance. You would have thought he'd been placed on the board by Greenco and he made his opposition to Malcolm Murray known as he and his brother were interviewed by scrote. Yet we then get a requisition for the removal of three directors from the anti-Greenco camp and Easedale isn't amongst them. What's going on there?
