ian1964 10,419 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Meeting has to provide clarity RANGERS fans sing about the four young lads who had a dream - to start a football team. Tonight, the Light Blue legions will meet with the four men who hope to assume control of their club. The last couple of years have been the most turbulent, testing and embarrassing of Rangers' illustrious history as they have fallen from their perch at the top of Scottish football and become embroiled in off-field scandals while being forced to work their way through the game from the bottom. The list of characters in the Ibrox drama is considerable, with each man fitted with a navy blazer and club tie promising to end the pain and agony that supporters have been put through while those with the scarves round their necks wait anxiously for a saviour. Rangers have had many defining days since their downfall and another is looming on the horizon, with the AGM on December 19 the start of the next chapter in the story. The battle for control of the Ibrox boardroom has been a long and bitter affair but it will come to a head next month as the current Light Blues hierarchy look to stave off a bid for power from a group headed by Paul Murray and Jim McColl. If the Requisitioners are successful, Murray, former chairman Malcolm Murray and businessman Alex Wilson and Scott Murdoch will win places at the Ibrox top table. While fans have taken to the streets in protest to call for the removal of the board, they have been given few clues as to what the future will hold if their wishes do come true in four weeks. Clarity could arrive this evening as several hundred gather in a Glasgow hotel to grill those aiming to sieze control of their club. Trust will be hard to earn for anyone who assumes a position of authority at Ibrox in the wake of events of the last few years but supporters are determined to continue their pursuit of the truth. "The fans need answers from the board but they also need answers from the people who want to get on to the board," event organiser Simon Leslie told SportTimes. "We need clarity from both sides and hopefully we will get a bit of healthy debate. "The Requisitioners have agreed to attend the meeting and there has also been an invite to the current members of the Rangers board and Jack Irvine. "They chose to ignore the first few invites but I have kept at them. The invitation is still open to them if they want to come along tonight. "It is disappointing that they haven't indicated that they will attend and it would be disappointing if they didn't turn up at the meeting. They know the supporters have great concerns after what has happened in the last few years. "It is their duty to engage with the support but they have blanked the fans so far." LESLIE added: "They should be willing to turn up, take part in the healthy debate and answer the legitimate questions on the future of Rangers. "It will look very bad on them if they don't attend." It is not just the two factions at the heart of the boardroom battle that are unable to agree on the right path for Rangers to take in the years to come, with a frustrated fanbase also split as voting day draws closer. With supporters making up around 12% of the shareholding in Rangers International Football Club plc, they could have a significant say when the votes are counted. Demonstrations against the board have been high profile but not overwhelming thus far as punters consider their positions carefully. The meeting tonight has received the backing of the Rangers Supporters Trust, Association and Assembly, as well as a host of other fan organisations. With just a month to go until Rangers' future is decided, the time has come for the Murray/McColl alliance to lay their cards on the table. "I would say about 80% of the Rangers support want change and want it as quickly as possible," Leslie said. "There is still a small element that are sitting on the fence and aren't sure. "That is the idea of the meeting, for people to have their questions answered and hear from, we hope, both sides. "I haven't spoken to a Rangers fan that wants the current board to remain. "I am sure there are a few but the fans I know want change at Rangers." DESPITE the majority of fans appearing to back the Requisitioners in principle, they cannot afford to rely on the fans' vote just because some are unhappy with the current regime. The appointments of Graham Wallace and David Somers as chief executive and chairman respectively have strengthened the incumbent's hand in recent weeks and, with the Gers hierarchy seemingly unwilling to attend, the floor will be open to Murray to present his blueprint. "At the end of the day, I would say I am in the Paul Murray camp, but there are still a lot of questions that need answered," Leslie said. "Paul and his colleagues need to give the fans their vision of the future and answer a lot of question. "I think they will get a bit of a grilling. The fans deserve openess and honesty. "I put it together to get answers from both sides and encourage healthy debate. "It is an opportunity the Rangers support haven't had in the last few years and an opportunity they might never get again. Hopefully we can get some answers from it." http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/meeting-has-to-provide-clarity-143778n.22811045 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
