Pardon my ignorance but how have the club "changed the goalposts "?

I think it's obvious who moved their goalposts,  and it wasn't Rangers

... directors who, at the end of the day, buy shares of RIFC to bolster Club 1872 sharehold, right? Its not that they grab money for themselves or act in self-interest, as you might read into some replies.

Wouldn't suggest for a second that any elected director past or present has personally profited financially from any 1872 and those who would suggest so have no credibility,  to be honest (and I haven't checked) i do not recall anyone on this forum suggesting such a thing.

My uninformed impression from afar is that C1872 has to a degree, been taken over by the interests/influence of DK.

Whether Chris Graham would have played a part in such a hypothesis, I don't know but I'd imagine the bookies would offer short odds on it.

 

That is two guys who have credit in the reputational bank and perhaps DK has so much that it's too easy to say yes.

 

That doesn't make DK into Sir Duped, but it would be more than naughty to go about what he is doing in the way I suggest it might be.

 

 

I fear it's not DK that's being duped.

He wants to sell his equity but now is not the best time to do so, we still need investment.

But behold a willing buyer, with a convenient former employee of DK apparently influencing the collectives strategy, only problem is the buyer dosen't have the funds.

Here's how my simplistic napper looks at this, let's say i had 10 million to spare and wanted to buy Rangers shares (not to make money but because I'm a fan)

Would i buy from an existing share holder or buy new shares from the club?

No brainer really, I'm investing emotionally so dilution not a significant concern, so I buy from the club and thereby help to achieve our sporting goals. Now even if I was a non emotional buyer, I would still buy from the club as my investment would strengthen the business. 

So it must be asked why did 1872 not apply that fundamental logic? Why reject multiple share offers from the club? 

I believe the rank and file members of the collective have nothing but Rangers best interests as their objective, however they should be asking some very urgent questions directly to the directors and demand transparency not smoke,mirrors and straw clutching temporary U-turns.

As expected, the usual suspects write stuff that yield not much but pessimism and the odd cynical remark, and neither reveals that much. No disrespect here, but wouldn't you say that Club 1872 acquiring shares of RIFC is - one way or another - a good thing?

No

There's something very wrong about this.

Just an attempt at damage limitation, nothing more.

Are we sure the ban is a result of the forearm yellow?

Or could it be a citation for his antics on being subbed?

They really don't have to. Just allow everyone to apply to purchase new shares in the time honoured way. And stop denying existing shareholders their pre-emption rights.

Indeed, and they would be in your own name allowing you to leave a "legacy" for future generations of Bill's

Finally managed to listen to the cast.

I'm  not a C1872 member but as a ST customer and existing small shareholder, would assume I would be a potential target.

Couple of things that i would have liked clarified 

I hear lots of rumours about a "shadow" director,  if true what is his/her role and why is his influence seemingly kept from the public eye.

King mentioned that C1872 had been invited to participate in issues, were these offers accepted? And if not why?

As a footnote, I must add i have had no personal dealings with any of the 1872 board past or present and have no prejudices nor axe to grind, that said I do respect the opinions and admire the work done by one former board member and, should he be in a position to do so, would appreciate his perspective on this legacy campaign and the circumstances that have led to its inception.

Haven't listened yet, what did Chris have to say about all this?

Come on lads, what with this covid thing restricting revenue, they have to do something to fund the brown envelopes.

 i would have assumed those provisions would have been put in place to deal with exceptional circumstances like urgent maintenance or acts of God, not to pander to the home sides requirement for a jolly to integrate their new manager.
