the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 McCoist got his 1,000,000 shares for a penny a pop and got 71,429 (£50k's worth)in the IPO as did Malcolm Murray,Ian Hart,Walter Smith,Charles Green and Brian Stockbridge, it is unclear what if anything they paid for the 71,429 but given Ahmad's absence from that list they may just have paid for them. their exec director fees paid in shares? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,061 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Maybe I am being naive but bringing people in and expecting them to continue to work as part of your team, irrespective of circumstances, which have arisen, is not something honourable people do. Ahmed moved out with many questioning his motives and credibility. If you are right, he has two henchman operating in very important roles in our club. Are you sure of your facts? If so, they should be exposed in a wider way. Exposed to who? Everyone and their dog knows there are two factions on the board and that Mather's and Stockbridge are in the Green/Ahmad/Zeus camp. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,061 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 their exec director fees paid in shares? No because Murray.Smith and Hart are non-executive and have different amounts of remuneration. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Davison 0 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Exposed to who? Everyone and their dog knows there are two factions on the board and that Mather's and Stockbridge are in the Green/Ahmad/Zeus camp. Not everyone. I wasn't aware that our CEO and Financial Director who serve on our board have an allegiance to Ahmed. Your question is exposed to who? I am going to write a letter to Walter Smith to enquire if he is aware that two of his board colleagues are representing Ahmed's interests. How about joining me in submitting a similar letter. It is unlikely that you would find such a situation acceptable particularly at a time when most of us have made a financial commitment to our club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save yourself the price of a stamp, I can assure you Walter Smith is very,very aware just who is who and where they came from in regards to the board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no reason to challenge your assurance but the cost of a stamp will not deter me. I am sorry that you won't join me in a letter writing exercise. If it is correct that Stockbridge and Mather are in place to look after Ahmed's interests, that is terrible. I have huge respect for Walter Smith. You may recall after a semi-final at Hampden, he spoke out about the influence that Lloyds Bank were having on Rangers. To have two guys sitting alongside him on the board who are there to support Ahmed's interests is something, I just can't see Walter living with. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,301 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 mather green ahmed and stockbridge all cam in together. if you came home to 4 people in your garden and it turned out 2 had been burgling your house what would you think about the other 2? i may be being harsh on mather at a push. Man, you are really at it. The way you make it look, Mather and/or Stockbridge only dance to Ahmad's or Green's fiddle, even now. Perhaps I am wrong, but Mather invested 1m into the club, so I would assume that he's not here looking only after Green's/Ahmad's/you name them well being and finances. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,301 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 why not ahmed and green have given him a job earning hundreds of thousands and shares at a fraction of the cost fans paid. Helmuth Kohl, the much heralded West German chancellor of the late 80s and early 90s brought a little flower from East Germany's Christian Democrats to the table and reared her to be his successor, one distant day in the future. That little flower grew and blossomed faster than he could count to 10 and dumped him, the "Chancellor of the Re-unification of Germany" at the very first opportunity. Her name is Angela Merkel. She's ruled ever since and relegated Kohl to a name in the history books.. You see, while it may make perfect sense to you that Mather and/or Stockbridge still dance to Green's or Ahmad's fiddle, it does not seem to be that cast-into-stone for others. Hence my question about how they could excert any sort of pressure on these two in power right now (sic!). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
