How is it obvious? Neither have any friends in the Scottish media unlike our manager and former manager who is on the board who both have many, especially from the dark side who seem to be the ones with all the inside info!

 

How do you know who is and isn't friends with Green and Ahmed, and just how long does it take to make 'friends' with the media? I watched Peter Smith of STV and Charles Green have a very friendly chat in the reception of STV about 5 months ago. They looked to be on very good terms at the time.

Quite why Smith or McCoist would leak information to the BBC that undermines McCoist is a scenario that's beyond my understanding. It's not a matter of whether people are 'Rangers men' or not, it's who is doing what's right for the club. I'm not naive, leaking is a fact of life, clearly various factions have been involved. However I've no doubt that the leak to the BBC was done to undermine McCoist, Smith and Murray and done in the knowledge that the BBC would run it without checking its veracity with Traynor first. BBC Scotland will wear a ban from Rangers like a badge of honour, they've no commercial interests to concern themselves with.

Hugh Keevans kinda confirmed this in the DR today...stating that he is currently banned from Porkheid, & wee Chick banned from Ibrox - the latter finding it very amusing.

This really pisses me off. If you're on the inside of a club you're obliged to deal with all information you have in a sensible way. As soon as Rangers have solid evidence, legal actions should be taken. This is a no go, seriously disgusting.

Unless I've missed something, there's been no stock exchange notifications tonight.

 

Is this yet more smoke and mirrors?

from STV

 

Rangers chairman Malcolm Murray has lost a vote of no confidence from his fellow board members.

 

The 58-year-old was appointed to the role last June after the Sevco consortium led by Charles Green acquired the club’s assets through a newco.

 

It is understood that on Saturday the board at Ibrox voted to confirm they had no confidence in the businessman to remain on as the chairman.

 

The board members who gave Mr Murray a vote of no confidence are believed to be asking him to stand down from his post once the independent investigation into dealings between Mr Green, commercial director Imran Ahmad and former owner Craig Whyte has been concluded. However, it is understood that Mr Murray has no intention of leaving his position at Rangers.

 

It is believed that Mr Green and Mr Ahmad, who left their posts with the club following the revelations surrounding their links to Mr Whyte, took part in the board meeting on Monday via a conference call facility.

 

Mr Whyte claims that Mr Green and Mr Ahmad acted as a "front" for him in the purchase of the club’s assets in a £5.5m deal last June, although both of them deny any wrongdoing.

 

Roy Martin QC has been appointed to oversee the investigation into the links, which is being led by law firm Pinsent Masons.

 

When Mr Murray was appointed, he described himself as a life-long Rangers fan and claims to have held an Ibrox season ticket for a "number of years".

 

No formal announcement has been made to the London Stock Exchange regarding the vote, while Rangers declined to comment on the development. STV contacted Mr Murray on Tuesday regarding the development, but he also declined to comment on it.

 

He was involved in the 1991 stock market flotation of Manchester United PLC and started his career at stockbrokers Phillips and Drew in 1980, which was bought over by the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS). During his time with the firm he was a trustee of the UBS Pension Scheme, before eventually moving to financial firms SG Asset Management, which was bought over by GLG Partners where he worked until 2008.

 

More recently he took up a directorship at MWB Business Exchange Limited in 2011, which is a supplier of office space in London. It was owned by MWB Holdings, which ran the luxury Malmaison and Hotel du Vin hotel brands.

 

However, MWB Holdings went into administration last year and MWB Business Exchange was purchased by Belgium-based office space firm Regus plc.

Why is Ahmad taking part in a board meeting when he isn't a member of the board....

Something not right about that. Sounds like potentially duff information. If true, and considering the circumstances of his departure it is certainly a bit worrying.
