According to Mr.Green that doesn't count though,....he was always declaring that the club had no (external) debt. !!!
-
No wonder corporate vultures were queuing up at Ibrox. Someone on here said that you were/are a fan of Charles Green,....I'm surprised it wasn't the other way around LOL
-
As we have seen individuals and backers have in our recent history had a horribly toxic effect on the club and there is a process in-play where one lot hand the baton on to another for a different stage, etc. Let this continue and we fade away whilst making the corporate vultures more money. Time to make a stand. Loyalty is one thing, what we don't need is the blind loyalty that is asked. They might aswell ask us to keep bending over.
-
It's your money and your call. My own view is that for once the support (or as many as possible) need to stand firm and say enough is enough. It might be a PLC where shareholder rules but when presented as a business it might want to listen to it's customers for once. It's not even if it's ordinary complaints about the 'product', it's about more serious issues that threaten the longterm competitivity/future of the club. Why not hold off until you get back ? See what the ly of the land is then....

Nothing ominous whatsoever. Just saying as you'd earlier mentioned that I might know you or that you had been in the RST. I didn't know you at all until I saw a another post of yours and obviously the penny dropped.
-
Maybe GW is doubling up as clothes designer but didn't want to take the credit and thought the club could pay him via a bonus and just not be very clear about what triggers the 100% bonus it in the contract. ps. Joke
-
You could add a group who think that they are being loyal to the club but in fact are being led by the 'Pied Pipers' who are in the very very small band of the 'complicit', some of whom are being led themselves. ps. there is no escaping that the executive control in the boardroom/major shareholders shapes the club itself, more especially in recent years post-CW. It's not been pretty and blind loyalty to what isn't the type of club I grew up supporting hasn't got us very far, it has only made some very rich.
-
For transparency during 'crisis-management' the club appoint a spin-doctor (ie. professional misleaders or masseurs of the truth). Does this inspire confidence in the business review ..............or anything else they do or say ? Could GW, the man of 100% bonus territory not have it within his CV to communicate effectively without someone holding his hand ? A business review that aspires to be SPFL Champions within 3 seasons and delivered by a CEO who needs 150 days to realise we need a scouting system but prioritises a spin-doctor.

David Somers buys 35,000 shares + Easdale buys more shares

As per the call from (IIRC) Forlan yesterday. -
Ask yourself why they won't genuinely engage. Engagement and Communication is fine if on their terms and you are prepared not to be what they might judge as 'awkward' or ask pertinent questions. Any initiatives from this board (including membership schemes) will look to control dialogue and marginalise 'troublesome' supporters groups.
-
I don't think it has been quite as simple as that. Unless individuals were willing to spend disproportionate levels of money just to get in the door/ hold real influence or control. Then you have to realise what you are taking on. The expectation levels allied to the available income streams and location (SPFL) mean that it is a difficult juggling act that can have millions thrown at it but still fail. All in all I agree with you that for various reasons we are going through what is a 'long-running before and after event'. The club is a shambles at all levels playing in a league without a sponser. A positive might be that you'd think it could only get better but I'm afraid that isn't necessarily the case. ps. I now realise who you are thank's to other forums on Gersnet.

This is what was said in court by the QC after taking instruction from Rangers the other day. Alasdair Lamont @BBCAlLamont 4 min Mr Summers QC says Rangers wish Union of Fans would "go away to allow the club to move on".
-
Don't you think that after you showed such patience in the past only for it to be 'abused' that more timely criticism/action may be in order this time ?
-
Solidarity is required. One man makes no difference. Thousands who stand together can make a difference and force change/influence events.
-
I think there is a mixture of the same old, eg. Easdale proxies........ with some new or increased (influence) old, eg.Laxey. Some of the old have sold-up and departed.
-
In the corporate guidebook on how to run a football club it states that it may take up to 120 days before a man with a good CV notices and acts on the lack of scouting. If the CV is only standard it goes up to 150 days.
-
Re. GW/shares. I can't recall any annoucements to that effect.
-
Spin department is far more important. Appointment of Paul Tyrell Priorities often explain MO. Besides GW only gets 315K basic and (very probable) 100% bonus,.... so you can't expect him to be able to engage and communicate effectively without layers of professional and expensive spin attached.
-
Perhaps only part of an 'electioneering campaign' for the AGM and Mr.Somers didn't really mean it. On a different note, did someone say that after 6 months Mr.Somers had suddenly decided to buy shares this week !!
-
Was that the FD that the chairman, Mr.Somers couldn't praise highly enough ?
-
Credit card facilities Sandy Easdale on the doorstep Going concern warning from 120 day review (timescale of review a sham and neatly brings us to ST renewal time) Contents of review feel more like 120 hours of work. Widespread and increasing unhappiness amongst fans (revenue stream) that the board do not meaningfully address but instead hire a PR consultant whilst talking about scouting and winning SPFL1 within 3 years. GW appointed and share price was just under 42p. Day that business review was published it was 21p. ie. if you bought at 21p you'd need a 100% increase in SP to get back to the November price. Maybe Graham got his 100%'s mixed up !! I could go on and on...............
-
And if you don't trust those with executive control on the subsequent allocation of resources ? Besides Rangers have said in court this week that whilst ST revenue is important that they have other ways of financing the shortfall and will be able to continue trading. This of course after a going concern warning re. ST monies and the Sandy Easdale doorstep interview . Confusing and contradictory messages.......
-
I referred more specifically to what may be termed an 'endgame' or similar involving the transfer or sale of assets.
-
I'd agree with that but I'd like to hear their pitch to institutional investors. There were apparently some interesting exchanges in the court case on Tuesday which I might touch on later. Do you think that the contingent liability may be getting in their way ?

Is this a 'delayed rebound' on shareprice ? At court on tuesday...........
