What sort of things would a bent board hide from two stalwarts who just departed yesterday, would a bent board be able to hide things from such stalwarts with unsurpassed financial acumen and city experience. Ally who (according to myth) single handedly saved the club from the abyss and his tight as a drum godfather/mentor don't know what is happening at the club (that is of course if there is anything going on at all) they have spent life times at as player managers and chairman, you may believe it I know many who don't.

Here's me thinking Wattie was our chairman and Ally our manager, if they don't know what is going on they should be taking a good look at themselves. It would be a good idea to have a hard headed businessman in the boardroom ready to make the decisions that are necessary even if he comes with a heavy stipend, oh wait ..

I take it Wattie and Ally are unaware of any shenanigans going on during their watch, obviously they would speak out and inform the fans if there was and they were wouldn't they, as obviously dignified silence would show a measure of acquiescence.

MM spat the dummy but didn't spit it out of the pram.

Mate said it was a lot of punts up to Daly.

If you have concerns as to how Charles obtained any monetary gain from Rangers perhaps you should share them with the constabulary, who will no doubt investigate your concerns to their full extent for which all reasonable Rangers fans will thank you. The slight if you can call it slight difference between the two parties that you mention is that the South Africans thought it prudent to inform and ask the assistance of the British courts in freezing Mr King's Rangers holdings at that time, apparently the SA authorities had concerns that the monies were not Mr King's to invest and had been obtained surreptitiously. Perhaps King will pursue his threat to sue murray for his alleged £20 million to be returned, as scammers go King appears to be a good few leagues below the master murray, how ironically delicious that one should get turned over by the other. As for Charles has he ever been censured by a court or had his monies or property seized by the authorities, I await your complaint to the constabulary with interest and its outcome, or perhaps Wattie will beat you to it as you said previously he knows what is going on. What do you make of King's previous comments that we have something to be sorry about, ironical and spectacularly wrong about covers them. http://www.topnewstoday.org/redirect/index.php?g=2579787

Murray stepped down as chairman in May but stayed on the board, amid speculation of moves to oust him. He was replaced in the role by ex-Gers boss Walter Smith in what was regarded as a move to bring some stability to the club which re-emerged in the Third Division last year following its descent into administration and then liquidation. However, yesterday, in an another day of boardroom shuffles at the Govan club Murray and fellow non-executive director Phil Cartmell left the board as bus company boss James Easdale's appointment to the board as a non-executive director was confirmed. In the open letter, released to Press Association Sport, Murray said: "I make this statement not for self-gratification or sour grapes but because so many fans have told me that dignified silence will be seen as a sign of disrespect. "My previously criticised silence was observed in the best interests of Rangers. "I was chairman of this great club for arguably the most difficult year in its long history. "I was recommended for the role by the investment institutions because of my strong record of honesty, integrity and my successful stewardship, of a 25% shareholding in Manchester United from the bottom to the top but not least because I am a Rangers fan and everything I have done or do is for the club and not self-interest or financial gain. "It has been a difficult shift and I'd like to thank you, the fans, for your support which I enjoyed as recently as Sunday when I drove over 600 miles to Brora. "I would also like to thank my wife and daughter for their patience and endurance of great hardship - including no holiday for a year and harassment by journalists in their own garden. "During the dark days of last summer I put a six-figure sum into the club to literally stop the lights going out at Ibrox at a time when we were in real danger. "My family have given things up to help save Rangers in this difficult year. There aren't many wives who would let their husband pay someone else's significant electricity bill. "You and I want a squeaky-clean club run by men of the highest integrity and global commercial ability and the highest level of transparency. "The reason we went down the flotation route was to guarantee transparency, whereas ownership by mysterious individuals does not. "Events of the last year have seen behaviour that would make the late, great Bill Struth spin in his grave. "The loss of two men (Phil and myself) with such lengthy financial public company experience and a quality broker will undoubtedly raise questions amongst our institutional shareholders. "Only time will tell how they will react. These investors and you are our future and you must be listened to and given transparency. "We cannot go back to the depths of the last two years, we need to hold course. Corporate transparency is the norm and we should embrace it rather than change course when difficult questions are asked." The letter continued: "My family and I will always be fans and season ticket holders and I will remain a shareholder and use whatever influence I have to help the Rangers. I want the best for our club both on and off the pitch. "I want our fans to be talking about football and the development of our rich history and culture. I hope to be the only chairman in our history to preside over a Third Division title!"

Not by a long shot he didn't Rab, the hypocrisy of people slaughtering Charlie and supporting a real villain in King is amusing if not downright comical.

As before Easdale's brother was convicted our new director wasn't, you seem to have taken the formerly quoted appeal Judge and his views on innocence/guilt on board, King has not been relieved of shed loads by courts and classed a glib liar by a Judge because the SA government invented tax dodging charges which he admitted to and conspired against him because he is free of guilt.

Yeah maybe a little more or maybe a lot more, http://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-south-africa/tax-rebel-dave-king-loses-sandhurst-and-plett-pala

Facts are simple, Easdales brother was convicted and King was relieved of shed loads of ill gotten gains by South African courts, ideally neither should darken the hallowed portals, however saints are thin on the ground especially in business. and as usual we the fans will have no say.

What I will point to is your ability to suspend the reality of King's position and the censures imposed on him, your stance is akin to that of the appeal Judge who the other day claimed that the man cleared of Jill Dando's murder after serving eight years was not innocent enough to warrant compensation, maybe you don't think King is guilty of anything and has been relieved of his ill gotten gains by the big bad SARS and courts. King is a wrong un, you are of course free to disagree.

What you also don't see is 332 outstanding criminal charges, if you see a settlement forced on King by a South African bench seizure of property and monies as some sort of vindication of his tax expertise who am I to argue. King of course is purer than the driven snow as we are all aware, seizure and settlement was because King had done no wrong.

Gangsters Al Capone Easdales tax evasion, what does that make King ?

Two names cover all, fred the shred and lord lucan.

Some alleged financial writers lead very sheltered lifes, they appear to think the world is made of sponge cake crisp clean bankers and risk be the devil, tossers and a piss poor article in which the target played with the so called author. Prior's comments have MM all over them, no surprise there. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.strandhanson.co.uk%2F&ei=_Q7dUe3SOerR0QXisoGQCw&usg=AFQjCNGQ0P8YO8BwK1z9TDMrlMMbZJPPSA&bvm=bv.48705608,d.d2k

What sort of whizkid hasn't heard of a company that turned over near a billion in 2004 alone in city deals ?

Much as I admire your direct approach it is catch 22, such a withdrawl of funding could deal us a hammer blow from which we may never recover as to what we are and known as.

Amen to that, since the days of Murray buying us with BoS money things have never been very transparent.

We may have different views FS but it doesn't mean we can't meet in the middle somewhere, I have not the slightest doubt that you have only good intentions to accompany your viewpoint, however I am puzzled as to what you actually would like to see happen to improve matters or more so trust. I am open to any suggestions that bring all together with a clear vision of what is required wanted or needed.

You will have to report Cenkos to the relevant authority if you are not at ease with their publicly published figures also published on the LSE and accredited by Cenkos amongst others.

I do, my imagination is based on fact and what is known, the doomsayers are of a different breed.

Seems clear enough. Rangers International Football Club plc (AIM: Mkt Cap £46 million) Cenkos acted as nominated adviser and broker to Rangers International Football Club plc on its initial public offering on AIM and placing/public offer to raise £22.2 million. Rangers International Football Club is the holding company for the Scottish football club 'Rangers'. The proceeds of the placing and public offer will be used to secure the Club's financial position, update and develop the Club's facilities, capitalise on the Club's global brand and enable the Club to enhance its playing squad when appropriate. http://www.cenkos.com/latest-news/rangers
