    Now it is Ched Evans
  2. Blue Moon
    We are going to be linked with every unemployed or second in command person in Europe. So tedious.

    I think that would be the end for the board if that happened. They are toast as it is.
  4. Blue Moon
    There at least should be the start of a dialogue between the board and Sarver.
  5. Blue Moon
    How can we pay another manager? What is this madness?
  6. Blue Moon
    I am boycotting already.
  7. Blue Moon
    Signed. Feel better.

    On Leach!! But more hopefully on his fat payoff.
  9. Blue Moon
    Me and other half too but not now either.
  10. Blue Moon
    We are being mugged and are powerless to do anything.

    Perhaps the fact they haven't done it yet shows 2 possibilities. One, they don't have the necessary support to oust the present regime and may in fact be working on that or secondly, they are making progress talking to the board.
  12. Blue Moon
    Good shout.
  13. Blue Moon
    Is this his original purchase or an additional one?
  14. Blue Moon
    God help us! I think myself that McCoist's volte-face could indeed have been part of the strategy. The alternative is that he walks away with nothing.
  15. Blue Moon
    I hope this is the case and there is a satisfactory outcome. It would be disgraceful if the Board was not talking to these people.

    I can't take much more of this

    From the Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/11324834/Rangers-board-to-lose-power-unless-Mike-Ashley-steps-in-to-save-diThe Rangers board will be swept out of power this week unless Mike Ashley saves the directors who helped him bid for complete control at Ibrox in October. The Telegraph understands that the club’s finances are in such a poor state that a major Stock Exchange statement is expected imminently but that an offer of immediate investment will be made by former Rangers director, Dave King, and the Three Bears consortium who, between them, bought up 35 per cent of the club’s equity last week. King and the Three Bears – wealthy Rangers supporters, Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor – are now believed to command sufficient support from small shareholders plus the proxy votes of other investors to such an extent that if a general meeting were to be held they would not only win, but do so comfortably. Financially, however, the club is now running on fumes and the process by which shareholders’ meetings can be requisitioned – up to seven weeks – is out of the question. Ashley is the only possible alternative for a board which has been deserted and vilified by fans. The crucial question is how much Ashley cares about running clubs in England and Scotland - his ownership of Newcastle United and influence at Ibrox has already triggered a Scottish Football Association disciplinary complaint - or if his basic position is to protect the Sports Direct contracts by which Rangers’ merchandise is sold through his retail chain. The Bears’ consortium and King take the pragmatic view that Ashley’s contracts are locked in through a five-year deal. They are prepared to make it clear that they can live with his commercial interests at Ibrox but will not countenance the continued tenure of the existing directors. The plc board chairman, David Somers, is particularly tainted in the eyes of the fans after a much-derided performance at the annual meeting on Dec 22. That debacle was followed by the Telegraph’s publication of a leaked email in which he begged Ashley’s lawyer to save his position by ensuring that the Newcastle owner would secure boardroom control at Ibrox. Sandy Easdale, Rangers’ football board chairman and his brother, James – a plc director – are also disliked by many supporters, whose displeasure has been channelled through the formation of groups whose declared aim is the removal of the existing regime. A fresh and intriguing twist is the emergence of a takeover attempt by Robert Sarver, the owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team. Sarver wants to own European football clubs – in the plural – and was alerted to the situation at Ibrox by the former Rangers, Leeds United, Aberdeen and Scotland defender, David Robertson, now head coach of Phoenix FC. Sarver has served notice to the club’s advisers of an £18 million bid to be made through a fresh share issue which would give him control, but which is now unlikely because of the share purchases made last week by King and the Three Bears. Again, the Telegraph can disclose that Ashley’s manoeuvring had the unintended consequence of directing Sarver towards King and the Bears grouping. The American was initially introduced to the former non-executive director Norman Crighton, who was the final casualty of Ashley’s steamrollering of boardroom opponents. Crighton was dislodged earlier in the month and, when he was invited to help Sarver gain traction with Rangers, directed him to King, Letham, Taylor and Park. They spoke to his advisers before Christmas and did not reveal their intention to form an alternative power bloc to Ashley and the Easdales. However, the King/Bears alliance views Sarver as a like-minded potential partner in their attempt to stabilise the club and bring tens of thousands of disenchanted fans back on board. Either way, it has become clear over the weekend that Ashley must choose between boardroom supporters who are discredited in the eyes of Rangers fans – many of whom currently refuse to walk through the doors of any Sports Direct outlet – or accept the ascendancy of a fresh regime who can restore the crowds to Ibrox and, perhaps, profits to his tills.rectors.html

    What do you expect, FS? Give us your opinion.
  19. Blue Moon
    Just read this after seeing it on Twitter. This could be sensational for our club.
  20. Blue Moon
    Zappa, I would have applied but I had prior arrangements.

    Rangers first

    Blue Moon replied to rbr's topic in Rangers Chat

    Signed up! Have been thinking about it for a while. Now is the time to do it.
  23. Blue Moon
    The irony. What about Ashley's control with under 10% of shares?
  24. Blue Moon
    I think if Ally was restored to his position it would undo much of the goodwill and support emanating from the 3 Bear's and King's moves. We need a fresh start on all fronts. I wouldn't say no to Souness as Director of Football though. He would certainly defend the club and offer a challenge to Celtic's hegemony of Scottish football.
  25. Blue Moon
    I am very emotional right now. It has been a hellish time to be a bear but it will all be worth it to get our club back.
