Cheers mucker. Now to fill the ****s' coffers for a day!

"The move by Mike Ashley to grab power in the Rangers boardroom is extremely concerning. The SFA's special dispensation, which allowed Mr Ashley to purchase up to 10% of the club, was clearly designed to mirror UEFA rules on dual ownership. These rules do not allow anyone to exert a "decisive influence" over the decision making of two clubs. There can be no more obvious attempt to exert "decisive influence" over another club than to try remove its executive directors. Charles Green and the previous board, as placemen for shareholders currently represented by Sandy Easdale, have already allowed Mr Ashley to plunder the club for onerous merchandise contracts and virtually free stadium naming rights. He also has full control of the club stores. We firmly believe that it is Mr Ashley's intention to now attempt to grab ownership of the club's trademark rights including our name and badge. We believe he is deliberately attempting to hamper the efforts of others to invest in the club so that he can provide a loan on terms which will allow him to demand these trademark rights. The SFA has a duty to Rangers to rigorously enforce both its own and UEFA rules on dual ownership. We believe Mr Ashley's EGM call is a breach of those rules and we have written to the SFA calling on them to take appropriate action."

Yeah, the Louden's a good spot. Not often I get going with my old man so I want somewhere that's not 6 deep at the bar and little seating.
-
Aye that one - never see or hear much about it so I'm hoping its open.
-
Yeah - those two are in mind. Plus they're not sweat boxes like the District where the club goes.
-
Cheers but I don't see any mention of the Ibrox Suite being open.
-
Is it still open on match days? Trying to think of a venue to take the old man next weekend which isn't too busy or too far away from the ground.
-
Wallace isn't deserving of any bonus. My point is the callous way him and his mate Jack turn on people they were promoting only recently. One minute he's world class the next undeserving of the bonus their mates agreed to. Sickening behaviour. Karma will catch up on Bill one day.
-
BIll's latest piece is textbook pr spin. Less than a year ago he was calling Wallace world class now he is suddenly the enemy.
-
Saturday's an option. Let me know where and we can talk shop all weekend.
-
Which goes back to the differences over both schemes. People like a refund policy. I'm not getting into a debate over both for reasons I've said on many occasions. I and fellow members were lied to and fooled by elected reps. That's all I need to know. Fan ownership is a busted flush without the backing of serious individuals.
-
RST has an asset lock. It was voted upon at an AGM two or three years ago.
-
Fan ownership will never succeed without the push from a healthy Rangers that values the support. RF, from your last sentence, was borne out of egos. Eventually both schemes will work together but we're miles away at present. We need the wealthy benefactor. Rangers fans are the same as unionists parties and loyalist groups in NI....we have too many working for the same thing separately. Hence the reason I'd support direct rule over Stormont. PS: What's happened to the font on the forum?
-
Flinging my hat in. 1. An established community which already owns more than half a million shares 2. Shares transferable 3. Refunds allowed 4. Direct Debit or Single payment options 5. Democratic on line voting on shareholder resolutions 6. Umbrella Body RST will participate with Union of Fans lobbying on crucial issues affecting club.

Dunno mate, I'm assuming elections. Maybe Craig's speech seemed long? Couldn't say otherwise.
-
If he was to give £16m to supporters I might welcome it. Otherwise old habits die hard and the thought of going back to his stewardship worries me more. With the ****s we know they're not here for forever. Apparently his bid was knocked back.
-
Rumour is SDM is the one looking atonement. £16m to be exact.
-
As ridiculous as it sounds, getting paid by dividend only for selling your own gear sounds about normal for Rangers.
-
From what I've gathered all up for election were voted in. No new names apart from Ross McAdam and someone else I can't remember was voted on from being co-opted earlier in the year. No contested election with some spaces left for being co-opted on. Craig Houston got a chance to talk through the SoS and apparently talked too much - 45 minutes.
-
As I thought:
-
Falling hook, line and sinker for Toxic's spin.
-
Indeed. Something is going down behind the scenes that's prompted Ashley to go down the route of an EGM. Ashley wants control and surprisingly sees Wallace as an obstacle.
-
BBC are one of the favoured options of spin by toxic.
-
No shit, sherlock. And we are all over the moon today with streamers and bunting flying around, lol!
-
I don't see a reason for him to hang around. Not as if he is a fan of Rangers. Unlikely he will get his bonus.
