Shat it.....

I can't get too angry at McMurdo or Irvine. They only did what they were told/paid to do. The problem didn't leave when Irvine was paid off.
-
Dunno, perhaps when we stop losing close on a million a month, and when the board stop treating us all like 5 yr old cash machines.
-
It was easy enough to secure Edmiston house and the Albion against a million pound loan. Why would this be any different? The cash from the trust would essentially be a secured loan, that doesn't need to be paid back. All it does is protect Ibrox against any insolvency event, which is where we're heading if the King investment goes tits up. After the last 3 years, it seems like a reasonable request from the support. In the event of another admin, the support would no doubt be the biggest creditor, and we all know what that means.
-
If 6.5 thousand not renewing immediately sends us down a dangerous route, I would suggest we are already more than half way along that road. Besides that, you're totally misrepresenting the scheme. All they want is security against our main assets, then the money will go to the club as normal. Why would any Bear not support such an idea? Are you happy to play roulette again with Ibrox should the worse happen? It's a no-brainer for any board with the clubs best interest at heart.
-
You would be well within your rights to do that, same as others have the same right to force change in the board by withholding funds. It's how capitalist society works. Money is the only power people have. Football is the only business that pisses down the back of peoples necks and tells them it's raining. People that abuse this loyalty that fans show, are about as low as it gets.
-
Anyone else notice the subliminal messaging? Hmmm "Included within cash balances is £1,669,000 relating to Rangers Retail Limited, which is not immediately available as working capital to the Group as a whole".
-
You seem to have other complaints about the way the RFFF goes about it's business, quite apart from this situation. The use of the money was always fairly ambiguous. I imagine that's what the committee is for. I'm sure money would be raised if another fund was set up to help the SOS, but what's the point when we already have a large sum sitting doing nothing? It all comes down to whether you think defending our right to criticise our directors is in the interest of the club. It probably won't need using once Easdale is aware that the bullying won't work. Has he really got the neck to take on the RFFF for his own personal gain? He will be finished if he does. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture, even if you don't totally agree with all aspects of it. Like I said, if you contributed and are really that angry about it. You can always ask for your money back, and then complain if they refuse. If Easdale goes ahead with this, and bankrupts Craig, what ramifications will that have for anyone else that dares to ask questions about any future board we may have? It's not really about the SOS.

lol .

I'm not sure if Imran was mentioned, but I did only skim read it. I know that Whyte was mentioned on 2 separate occasions, which is odd for someone that seems to have no claim over us. The wording of the situation was also a bit worrying. I don't think the Whyte thing is totally resolved yet, otherwise why even mention him??

Fears for the future at Ibrox as chairman David Somers admits:

Wallace will gone by Christmas. I wouldn't get too attached to him. The only way he'll survive is if King keeps him as his pet poodle. -
The fund was set up to benefit the club. I can't think of anything that benefits the club more than allowing it's support to continue to call anyone out that can damage the club from the inside. The knock-on effect of Mr Easdale bankrupting one of our fans out of spite will be felt for years. The petty attitude of some of us about this is depressing. If you donated and aren't happy about it. Write the RFFF an e-mail and request your donation back. Then give us all fucking peace.
-
Does anyone know when Whyte's name will stop being mentioned whenever we release a set of accounts? I know it's some accounting formality, but there must be a cut off point when it's not relevant. For someone that has zero claim(apparently), he seems to be doing a decent job of keeping himself in the picture. Considering we are a football club, I find it astounding that wi-fi, and the white elephant of Albion House were purchased at considerable cost before we even have a scouting system in place. For whatever reason, it seems the current incumbents want to keep us as close to bankruptcy as they possibly can. The faces may have changed, but the incompetence and bending of the truth remains.
-
Not by me it hasn't. Probably the most moderate Rangers forum on the internet, gagged for daring to call a convicted VAT fraudster a ****. This forum would have probably stood a better chance in court than the SOS will.
-
Let's not forget that Craig didn't actually make the alleged libelous comments. His only "crime" is keeping a poorly moderated Facebook page. Sounds funny when you write it out. A decent lawyer would surely make sure this would never see the light of a courtroom, and make Easdale look as pathetic as he is.
-
Easdale can't defend being called a shite director, arguably the same way that Ally couldn't defend being called a shite manager. In light of this, easdale is suing on the back of personal insults, much in the same way that Ally could set his lawyer on you for calling him a c*nt. Both cases will/would probably be laughed out of court.
-
Talk about Easdale in the same manner you talk about Ally and see how you get on.
-
Is it a director of our club that is prosecuting them/trying to silence them? Perhaps you could ask them why they don't, while your asking for your tenner back.
-
Spot on. If nothing else, it takes away the bullying aspect of it all, and is a worthy cause to fight for. The money was earmarked for the club. If Easdale wants to be the one to deny the club for his own benefit, on his head be it. It's not just the SOS that have been issued with threats from Easdale's lawyers. Someone had to eventually take a stand against it. It's shameful if we leave it on all on the head of one individual fan, and I think on balance the RFFF are doing the right thing, even if you don't agree with the way the SOS go about things.
-
I've always suspected McDowell was an agent sent from the dark side to get us playing this awful long-ball shite. I don't think anyone that's ever taken a wage from them should ever be allowed to darken our doors. I have respect for people that stick to their own sides. Jump-the-dykes always come across as a tad mercenary.
-
To be fair, you could fit most of them in a phone box. I wish we would just declare who was the biggest fan, and get on with the real business. The only meaningful statement of the day(King's), has been lost in a sea of pish.
-
I wouldn't lend this board a dvd, let alone a million notes. New company or not, we have a turnover of around £20m or so, and can't even get a decent overdraft facility, or loan at a normal rate? I'm sure if King fires in his £50m, the banks will be falling over themselves to become involved with us again.
-
I totally agree with all the points, but you just normally see things from both sides relatively impartially. This incident, which is by no means the worst thing that they have done, just seems to have really riled you. The fact you have dropped the "devils advocate" stance on this issue was just noticeable. You maybe feel better if you just ban stb, and get it over with.
-
Never seen Frankie so irate, must be serious.
-
Any coincidence that news of this comes on the day that King showed them their arses? I suspect not.
