  1. Hildy's point is that with Buy Rangers you can get your money back, which isn't the case with Rangers First. The flip side is that Rangers First have more flexibility in terms of what they can do with the money and support the Club. As GS says, both schemes have merit and I support both, partly as it gives me twice the say!
  2. Better to wait and know that you're going to win than go off half cocked and lose (again).
  3. What's more, the RST's use of legal advice resulted in a level of media coverage which would have cost a fortune to generate through advertising. They've probably done the cause of fan ownership / influence a massive favour through their actions in recent days.
  4. To use the AGM as an example, both groups invited individual members to vote on each resolution in order to arrive at a collective decision.
  5. Disagree on that rbr. They said they were going to take legal advice, they did it and then they told us what that advice was. KIV that they've been given potential grounds to pursue individual Directors on should they actually grant the security, so it's better to apply the pressure now.
  6. Spot on rbr. I'd add that by backing both, you get double the say in decisions affecting the Club.
  7. What went on at the Argyle House entrance was bang out of order. Pensioners and women working in the building getting pushed about.
  8. I doubt they could announce that now without it being very obvious that they were working in concert. The grief PM gets is entirely unjustified IMO, but I understand your point.
  9. Only 3 replacement directors named, so one assumes Parkco will get at least 2 appointed post the EGM.
  10. Perhaps I'm being wildly over-optimistic, but it feels to me that the tide is finally turning in favour of fan influence / ownership among the support.
  11. RangersFirst has almost doubled in 3 weeks. If we keep that up we could buy Sports Direct in a couple of years.[emoji6]
  12. I suspect it will be nearly impossible to get agreement on what to spend it on. Sprucing up Ibrox once ownership is finally sorted out is the only thing I can think of that all parties might agree to.
  13. Let's call that a 10p premium per share. If the good guys bought another 5% holding from one of them on that basis, it's only an additional £400k (£1.4m against the going rate of £1m). £400k is not to be sniffed at, but every half full home game will cost us the same. Of course GreenCo might say it's all or nothing.
  14. I think the fan minded shareholders would win a vote comfortably if it came to it. They're probably worried about the carnage the current lot could cause in the intervening period though. Better to try and get them to go peaceably if possible IMO.
  15. The opinions of the football authorities and Rangers' own fans are the only ones I care about. The rest can howl at the moon for as long as they like and it will make not one jot of difference.
  16. Actually, the ASA probably won't have an issue with this, as it's only stating an opinion.
  17. They have to get the ad past the ASA first... Apparently it's going to be in the Sunday Herald in 2 weeks time. The copy is being revised to put more pressure on their Board to challenge the authorities "same Club" stance. I believe it is probably genuine. Genuine but absolutely barking mad. The idea of Celtic fans harming their own Club by boycotting it because it doesn't share their own obsessive fantasies is absolutely delicious.
  18. As you know Rab, I don't buy the giant conspiracy theory, but I do agree that HMRC will have a good idea of the costs incurred to date.
  19. One for the Audit Commission. The fact HMRC don't know how much they've spent on one of their highest profile cases is at least as significant as the total cost (assuming of course that it's true...).
