    And would therefore constitute actionable defamation, as I am sure the lawyers drew to your attention. However, they would have to prove actual loss I think which might be difficult if not impossible to quantify. I don't think that there would be an award for punitive damages in this country unless he could prove "actual malice". This may be of interest http://inforrm.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/defamation-act-2013-section-5-its-decision-time-for-website-operators-ashley-hurst/

    I am sorry but that statement is wrong and it highlights the difficulty faced by a fan's rep on a football club board, be it from a trust or any other organisation. A director has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the company (which may not necessarily coincide with the fans view) and is also bound by principles such as confidentiality (and will certainly be asked to sign a document to that effect) and collective responsibility.

    The problem with T&C or TAC is that it normally means Terms & Conditions.

    I think that it is a reasonable and entirely achievable objective particularly when you factor in folks who are prepared to sign over their existing holdings minus one share. It is people like Greg who will make it happen.

    It is not realistic to say that the membership will have a say on everything on a OMOV basis. That will apply to general policy and major decisions etc but cannot possibly work on a day to day basis. There will be an elected Board and Office Bearers whose job it will be to put the poicy into practice on day to day issues.

    Broadly, I think this is a very reasonable letter for Greg to issue on a personal basis, subject to some of the typos and caveats that folks have added. However, I would suggest that he adjusts some of the wording from third to first person and adds something to the effect that all the statements represent personal opinions and are not necessarilly the views of RF especially the sentence that has been highlighted "It was agreed at the initial meetings that Rangers First is not interested in getting involved with the internal politics at the club (who is on the board does not matter) – we are only interested in getting the fans a voice to ensure that they stay engaged with the club and to help ensure that Rangers stays the greatest and most successful club in the country." Use of the word "we" implies that this is the settled view of RF, which it is not. On the subject of typos I would change "There is a swell of support for increased fan involvement at Rangers Football Club – and something that has previously not received a great deal of wide support is now become a possibility." to say HAS become a possibility but perhaps even better "a great deal of support has now become a (very real) possibility. (The words in brackets are a suggested addition.) "Wide" is redundant becuase it is covered by "not received a great deal". It may well be worth having a letter very similar too this signed off by the Interim Trustees for general use.

    Well, they certainly have plenty of experience.

    Apart from a public statement (which I accept is valuable) I don't think he achieved anything tangible and he got a big knock back on the major plank of his/SoS/UoF scheme, "securing Ibrox for generations" etc against the ST money. I don't see any incentive for folks to do that now. The board will simply say that unless you pay your ST money on our normal terms you will have to buy a match ticket like anyone else i.e. you lost your seat. Game over, I think.

    I'm not sure that they are going to do or not do anything that they hadn't already planned but I'm sure your right that part of this is holding them to account.
  10. BrahimHemdani
    I think that's a fair assessment it was a bargaining tool; I wonder if he told the UoF and SoS that?
  11. BrahimHemdani
    No need to keep highlighting it all. It should also be pointed out that just because you were a convicted criminal in 1997 does not necessarily mean that you were untrustworthy at that time and it certainly should not be implied or suggested that you would be untrustworthy 17 years later.

    Doesn't want a lawyer's letter.
  13. BrahimHemdani
    He can't and he knows he can't so it's dead in the water.
  14. BrahimHemdani
    Basically, they've called his bluff and he's making the best he can of it.
  15. BrahimHemdani
    Nothing at all.

    If the Herald can say "Sandy was jailed in 1997 for VAT-related offences" I don't see why anyone else can't since it's a fact. http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/new-fears-over-past-of-brothers-trying-to-join-rangers-board.20948689 Or this: "Easdale was jailed for 27 months in 1997 for a VAT fraud involving computer parts. The judge ruled he made £1.5million. A Rangers spokesman made it clear last night that the Ibrox hierarchy are relaxed about Easdale’s criminal history. He said: “We are fully aware of Mr Easdale’s past and take the view that this was a long time ago. He served his time and paid his debt. “Our view of Mr Easdale is that he is a respected figure in Scottish business circles and an employer of 1000 people across the country."" http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/ibrox-chiefs-roll-out-red-1460777 Or this: "Sandy Easdale was sentenced to 27 months in prison for non-payment of VAT in 1997. "" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24091694 You just can't call him names that imply he is some kind of bad person now, when it is obvious that he is fully reformed. Just my personal opinion of course and not the opinion of this web site or its owner.

    I think I have you there.

    It's hard to see the justification for keeping Cribari as a coach; but presumably he has the badges and perhaps they want him as a player/coach for a year or two in case of emergency; and it would need to be a big emergency, let's face it. I think Hutton is very unfortunate; he was fit and raring to go at the start of the season; I would have given him another season at say £2,000+/week; he performed well for PT in that division when on loan.
  19. BrahimHemdani
    He'll have to fudge it somehow, otherwise he's going to look very bad indeed.

    Not a shock.

    Very good, GS, think we'll have the restaurant swept for mikes, nearly said bugs, but wouldn't like that to be misconstrued.

    It WOULD be fantastic not just to win it as a 3rd division team but at PARKHEAD.
