Stockbridge, Somers, Irvine and Media House MUST GO !!!

Written by Scorchio

 

Rangers fans attending Ibrox to watch the Rangers team play Ayr United yesterday made me truly proud to be a Bear with what can only be described as one of the largest and most successful protests against our Club's boardroom which I have ever witnessed.

 

While the team went about it's business and did us proud on the pitch, our fans yet again did us proud in the stands by going about the business of supporting the team while also getting involved in the protests.

 

 

Literally thousands upon thousands of red cards being held aloft by disgruntled fans in all four Ibrox stands accompanied by chants which were led by the BF1 section sent a strong message to the boardroom and shareholders.

 

Many thanks to Sons Of Struth for organising this and other recent protests and also a huge thanks to all the fans who helped SoS and everyone who took part, even if only by holding up your red card.

 

That display of our strength and feelings in such sizeable numbers sent the boardroom the message that a very notable percentage of the Club's lifeblood, the fans, are still far from being satisfied with the make up of our Club's boardroom.

 

The men who've been given the privilage of director seats in our Club's boardroom may well ignore the message, but if they do then they would be ignoring it at their peril because the size of yesterday's participation signalled an end to apathy for a very large portion of our support and a move towards action.

 

Our Club and fans have been through turmoil and have clearly had more than enough, so as the Club's AGM rapidly approaches, the men in the boardroom should pay attention to the Club's lifeblood and pay very close attention to the wishes expressed by such large protests at Ibrox.

 

Below are what I consider to be three of the most important changes urgently required at Ibrox:

 

No.1: Brian Stockbridge MUST GO !!!

 

His position is completely untenable for too many reasons to count. Most importantly, he was (and potentially still is!) a cohort of Charles Green & Imran Ahmad before the questionable takeover last year. There are also recordings in the public domain of Stockbridge, Ahmad & Craig Whyte plotting a £5m sale of shares in our Club to Rafat Rizvi who is a convicted fraudster and a wanted man.

 

A large majority of Rangers fans cannot and do not trust Brian Stockbridge for a multitude of reasons, so it is a total and utter disgrace that he is still acting as our Club's Financial Director sitting on our board and it is NOT acceptable for the current board to prolong his stay. He needs to go, now.

 

No.2: David Somers MUST GO !!!

 

David Somers is clearly not independent as claimed and clearly not good enough, nor suitable enough for the position of Chairman at Rangers Football Club.

 

Mr. Somers has had plenty of time to get a feeling for the political landscape that he's being paid to traverse, but instead of navigating it skillfully or even remotely carefully he comes across as clueless, acting with no care, no tact and no class.

 

From the statements released so far including the embarrassing nonsense released in the guise of a Chairman's statement on Friday, the Chairman has already displayed total disregard for the fans who've been trying and are still trying to cleanse and improve our boardroom and Club as well as total disregard for the current political landscape and bigger picture at the Club.

 

He may not have been here long, but if David Somers thinks that releasing official statements defending Brian Stockbridge whilst attacking influencial Rangers fans who are trying to improve and most importantly safeguard our Club is acceptable, then he most certainly is not a man suitable to be the Chairman of our Club.

 

No.3: Jack Irvine and Media House MUST GO !!!

 

The position of this man and his PR company is completely untenable. They have repeatedly attacked and worked against our Club for the benefit of individuals and for their financial gain.

 

Rangers Football Club has been embarrassed and mistreated by the spin doctor work of Jack Irvine and Media House for far too long and it needs to stop. His and the Media House work for Rangers must come to an end as soon as possible because it is completely unacceptable for their contract/s and work for the Club to continue.
