Re: Just back from protest - a summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He also claimed to have something over Charles green, something that was said at his meeting with him last Friday. He wouldn't reveal what, but called green out to sell and leave with reputation in tact, or Bomber would. reveal all in a few days time. Re: Just back from protest - a summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i couldn't hear all from my vantage point (eventually standing next to a certain Mr. Suck) points i took - has something on Green from their "meeting". Bomber seemed to suggest he'll go public if Green doesn't come to the table - took a call today from someone in London representing the current chairman, asking for a meeting tomorrow. Bomber stated to tell the chairman, he'll meet only if Donald Findlay was in attendance and the subject was showing the title deeds

Just back from protest - a summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- he also called the press out a said why dont you ask green whose name is on the deeds, get him to show you them, Also said somthing about a call from London from someone for a meeting, he said there will be no meeting unless it with the legal team and its with the owner of rangers Re: Just back from protest - a summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A summary of other things Bomber said :- The only things we own are the stadium and Auchenhowie , previous regimes sold everything else including the Albion car park. Murray deserves to be " Hunted " but now is not the time . Concentrate on starving out Green & Zeus , do NOT buy season tickets or merchandise. Bombard the press with the question " Whose name is on the deeds to Ibrox & Auchenhowie ? Bomber also says the press will go after him , he's done things he's not proud of but is prepared for the that. Many former players from around the world coming on board with us. He understands the club has to be registered by Friday to be playing in Scottish football next year. If we are not in a league we will be playing friendlies to celebrate anniversary of the Cup Winners Cup win and other games.

Re: Just back from protest - a summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He also said, "starve him out. Do not give any ST money". States that our money is going out the back door. Also said Gough, Laudrup, Amoruso involved. He welcomes TBK and others to become involved. Also, we will get a say in our club, a vote for every man who donates

Off FF Just back from protest - a summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About 4-5 thousand there , bomber spoke just after 7 pm for a good 45 minutes I was near the back so didn't hear everything but � Charles green has claimed he has spent £8.7 million already on rangers � he is not forthcoming as to who owns ibrox / Murray park � brown will disclose his backers but so far McColl / park appear not to be involved � starve Green of much needed cash by NOT buying ST , merchandise � brown will set up a bank account for donations towards a fan buyout of rangers � suggestion Craig Whyte still involved Feel free to add what I missed

Rangers fans are hoping to organise a protest in response to the Charles Green consortium’s takeover of the club. The Union Bears fans group are calling for supporters to turn out at Ibrox stadium on Wednesday night over the situation at Rangers. Earlier this month the Sevco consortium claimed it completed the transfer of all assets from Rangers FC plc to a new company, before the one incorporated in 1899 is liquidated at a later date. Despite claiming to have transferred all players to Sevco 5088 Ltd, eight first-team members have indicated that they are refusing the move, including captain Steven David and goalkeeper Allan McGregor. Mr Green has indicated that he wants to challenge the refusal to move under TUPE legislation, claiming he will pursue the players for breach of contract. The fans group stated on its Facebook page that it wanted to organise the 7pm protest in response to the "rapid deterioration of the situation our club finds itself in". The Union Bears statement added: "We demand answers from Mr Green immediately. The situation is critical and we as fans must act now." In April, around 7000 Rangers fans marched to Hampden, led by former player Sandy Jardine, in response to the £160,000 fine and 12-month player signing ban imposed on them by the Scottish FA for the financial mismanagement at the club in the nine months following Craig Whyte's takeover.

IF we, as former players, can help restore Rangers then it would be the biggest achievement of all. Bigger than Nine-in-a-Row, you’d have to say. Bigger for me, on a personal level, than scoring the goal that clinched it even. I’ve spoken to my good friend Andy Goram this week. And I’ve also taken phone calls from John Brown. They’re two men with Rangers in their blood. I’ve listened intently to Bomber’s plans and I can only support one of my old team-mates in what he wants to do at such a critical time for Rangers and everyone associated with the club. He is a guy who loves Rangers more than anything else. Someone who is doing all that he’s doing not to gain money or anything else but for the love of Rangers and the sake of the club. That’s the most important thing right now — and if I can do anything, however big or small, to help him I will. I’m TOTALLY behind everything he’s trying to do. That’s the feeling of every single former Rangers player, especially the Nine-in-a-Row guys I know. I know the likes of Lorenzo Amoruso and Jorg Albertz have also come out to back what Bomber’s doing too. Even though I’m a foreigner, even though I played in Glasgow for only four years, we were all taught what Rangers means to people by the gaffer Walter Smith. I still follow the club and what’s happening at Ibrox more or less every day via the internet. And I admit I’ve been left devastated at what’s been going on there. Now Bomber wants the fans to lead a buy-out — and they can surely have no one better taking the lead. Like Ally McCoist and Ian Durrant, Bomber is one among a few former players I know who just lives and breathes Rangers. And I think it’s so very important for the supporters to feel this bond with the guys who they used to cheer from the terraces. When I played there between 1994 and 1998, I got to see so many fans who had supported Rangers for decades. The club means EVERYTHING to them and their support throughout the years has been absolutely magnificent. I can feel their pain right now. I understand what they’re going through at the moment. I might be a few thousand miles away but I know how much they are suffering. If Bomber can do a deal that places the club in their hands, then that would be fantastic. I know from the detail he has given me that he has the investors there ready from all over the world and that he wants everything to be transparent. But, at the same time, it’s vitally important these people who really love the club come in and take control of it. And sooner rather than later in my opinion. There have been so many things said and done over the past few weeks and months. The fans have gone through agony at what’s happened to this great institution which has stood for generations of their families. There has been plenty of talking and so many false dawns. Now it’s time for some change and a little bit of calm to be injected into the situation. If Bomber can provide that with the help of some very good friends — and with the aid of some former players too — it would be the ideal solution. We will just have to wait and see what happens. But it would really be fantastic if the fans could get in and control in some ways what’s going on at their beloved club. I’ve talked it through with Bomber and spoken to the Goalie, who I’m still very good friends with and in contact with. They are diehard fans themselves — and were there the night which, for me, summed up everything about this club. My last appearance at Ibrox was in that Legends game against AC Milan at the end of March. The supporters came out in their numbers to pack the stadium to the rafters, so much so that kick-off had to be delayed. Seeing and hearing that was absolutely outstanding — and something which will live with me forever. Ever since joining the club, I’d always known the Rangers fans were truly superb. But that night just told me this club will NEVER go down. Rangers might have to start off in a different division and as another company under a different name. Trust me, this club will come back even stronger. I’m sure of that. Bomber’s rescue plan can be the start of that long journey back. We won so many things together. And savoured all those successes. But this is a chance for us to team up again and achieve the greatest victory of all.

WHEN Bomber asked me to become involved in a Rangers fans’ buy-out, I didn’t hesitate to say “yes”. I love Rangers, I love the supporters, the stadium and everything about the club — that’s why I am supporting the bid. I was at Ibrox for six years — I won trophies and I fought for the jersey every time I stepped on the pitch. I captained Rangers and the honour gave me immense pride — it’s one of the biggest achievements of my football career. Now I want to help secure the best possible future for the club. I want to give it back to the fans. The Rangers supporters deserve better than what has happened and Bomber has my full support. I’ve told John I am fully behind him and that I’ll do anything I can to help — but I am not alone. All the players who are involved in the bid have a special feeling for Rangers. We are all in it together. The guys all really want to do something for the club. We had a good chat and we supported the idea immediately. There are just so many fantastic Rangers fans all over the world and they all deserve more respect. That is what we are trying to achieve. We want to give them a club to be proud of. We want success on the pitch. Rangers belongs to the fans — it doesn’t belong to me, Charles Green or any other individual. The club is nothing without the supporters — that’s really the most important thing to remember. They ARE the club. Players and managers have come and gone through Rangers’ history. But the fans remain constant — they are the club and always will be. They make it special. What we are trying to do is give the club back to the supporters and put Rangers people in control. With the help of a lot of former players and other people, that is the ultimate aim. But the backing of the fans is the most important part of this. We need all their support and enthusiasm. We need them to get behind us and support us every inch of the way. People had the chance over the last couple of years to take the opportunity to do something for Rangers. This could now be a LAST chance to make sure Rangers get back to where they once were. We are at a stage where Rangers are not in the SPL and we don’t know what is going to happen. There is so much uncertainty around at the moment and it’s unfair on the fans who have always been there for Rangers. We felt that we had to have a go and try to do something — we feel very strongly about this. I am proud to say I played for Rangers. I was proud to wear the Light Blue jersey and bring success to the club. I gave my all for Rangers while I was there and I know how much the fans appreciated it. Now I want to help them again. As ex-players, we couldn’t just stand back and let things happen that we did not agree with. We had to take action and hopefully it works. It won’t be easy but we must try to make a difference. Talking stops now. We need to take action and fight for what is best for the football club. Rangers’ history means that the club must get more respect. This is important for the whole of Scottish football — the SPL needs a strong Rangers playing there again one day. The project is at the early stages just now but I believe we can achieve our targets. I stayed at Rangers for so long because of the fans. They supported me and I have so much respect for them. The Rangers fans deserve a strong club. They deserve better than what has happened over the last few years. The message from Bomber is clear to all supporters — back us and back Rangers. This isn’t about former players or former managers. This is about Rangers Football Club. I hope to travel to Scotland soon and offer even more support to the buy-out. The club is all about the fans and now I want to do everything in my power to give it back to them once more.

Wasnt sure at first But now dont trust Green at all He just needs to go

To members of Follow Follow (My decision to resign from RFFF committee) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Folks, I am sending this email with a heavy heart and it isn't a decision I have taken lightly. I have chosen to step down as a committee member of the RFFF. The main reason for this is I feel the support deserve better in regards to more open dialogue with Charles and I have pushed for a meeting since last Wednesday with all the RSC secretary's to give them a chance to ask Charles and Malcolm questions therefor giving the Fan Base more Honesty and Transparency. I feel now it has went on to long and to be honest it goes against my morals. At the 1st meeting and probably my main reason for getting involved was due to the comments which were made at this meeting in regards to open and honest dialogue with the support. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best of luck going forward and if a larger meeting is arranged with the RSC's and Groups I will be present with my group secretary. Best Regards J C

Raith Rovers Statement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raith Rovers FC continues to closely monitor developments in the saga of who will replace the liquidated Rangers within Scottish football. As proud members of the Scottish Football League, we may soon be called upon to consider proposals for the way forward not only in relation to any vacancy that may arise in our league but also in respect of the future construction of the game in Scotland. Whilst we retain an open mind on the subject of league reconstruction, and will carefully consider any proposal put to us by the SFL board in this regard, the board of directors of Raith Rovers FC is unanimous in its view that we shall certainly not cast our vote in favour of any integrated plan that in our view compromises sporting integrity by involving the admission of any â??Newcoâ?? directly into Division One. http://www.raithrovers.net/3766/stat...-directors.htm

To clarify, Raith Rovers say no to #Rangers newco in division 1.

Chris McLaughlin‏@BBCchrismclaug Raith Rovers say no to newco

Leeds oldco liquidated. Club sold to Bates newco to exit admin without a CVA agreement = 15pt pen LeedsUnited went thro exactly same newco process as #Rangers & REMAINED in LeagueOne with EFL membership accepted. Penalty? 15pt deduction

What happens if we dont get enough votes

Gerry Hassan‏@GerryHassan Well done to all the clubs for making it certain Rangers will be in the SFL nxt season. And congrats to Dundee FC for coming up to the SPL.

We fully expect to be the team in the SPL next season," Dunfermline chairman John Yorkston told BBC Scotland. "We have taken legal advice on the matter and on the basis of that we would expect to be reinstated." sporting integrity you say
