ian1964 10,458 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 MALCOLM MURRAY, Chairman of The Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement today. He said: "On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to reaffirm the long term commitment of the investors who acquired the Club last week. "The consortium is wholly committed to rebuilding Rangers and their investment is regarded as a strategic long-term project. "As I have said previously I am not in this for personal gain and what is of paramount importance is the Club regains stability both in financial and footballing terms. "Since the announcement last week by the Walter Smith consortium, our position as a Board has been clear in that we would welcome constructive dialogue with all those involved. "The Green consortium said last Thursday evening that it was not looking for a sale and that is the view of the investors. "We can however say to supporters that the assurances the Walter Smith consortium are looking for regarding financial probity and high standards of corporate governance will be met. "Following the announcement today on behalf of the Walter Smith consortium, the Board would urge all Rangers fans to now get behind the Club. "We have huge issues to address in terms of the Club's status within the SPL and SFA and it is important that we unite prior to decisions being taken about the Club's future by the football authorities. "We continue to welcome any input from members of the Walter Smith consortium or other stakeholders who have Rangers interests at heart. "These matters are of critical importance to us all as Rangers fans. All fans, myself included, have gone through enough anguish in the last year and it is now time to move forward. "The most important thing of all is working together to deliver a successful future for Rangers and Scottish football. "I have had good discussions today with Ally McCoist, Sandy Jardine and members of the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund and all are agreed, it is important for the Club to move forward." Charles Green, Chief Executive added: "I fully recognise there is a huge job to be done to rebuild the trust between the fans and the Club which has been badly broken. "I will do everything I can to help rebuild Rangers and the most important challenges we face at the moment are about our future and what league we play in. "I can assure fans that I will work tirelessly in the interests of the Club to secure its future." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigy 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Saying the right things again, but without any substance it will fall on deaf ears for now. We need action, not words. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2go 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 A reasonable statement and the next few days will be interesting to see if words can be backed up by action 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,247 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 To be fair to Malcolm Murray it is impossible to back up anything until the arseholes at the SPL/SFA , make a decision on well just about everything . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Malcolm murrays the main thing I like so far in greens tenure. I was going to say only thing but that's a bit unfair and I am determined to give green his chance. we still need and deserve far more info. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 To be fair to Malcolm Murray it is impossible to back up anything until the arseholes at the SPL/SFA , make a decision on well just about everything . Spot on rbr. The club's in complete limbo until the SPL vote on July 4th and the SFA's kangaroo court decision regarding the signing ban is known. Even then there will be major unknowns such as the SPL and their dual contracts investigation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 still plenty they could tell us now. for a start those foreign investors must be out of their beds by now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDGE 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Why the SPL and why the SFA. In 10 years we'll be back moaning about shit competition, shit European results and shit quality, bemoaning that we've reached our peak, big fish small pond. I wish someone would do something that would excite me, do something that was 'outside the box'. God knows we need it. Instead we've been in a state of limbo for what seems like 5 years with no way out. Let's get back into the shitty SPL where everyone will hate us and we'll have the same retarded fans singing shitty songs and the mock outrage that follows. No wonder the Scottish youth are shunning Scottish football. Anyone know a good shrink? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The investors thing is clearly up in the air when it comes to the league we'll be in. Maybe Green could have been clearer but i'd say it's obvious the full naming was only going to happen if a CVA was accepted, our future would have been sorted then, right now it is not yet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
