the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 How would security work? Whose name appears on the form? It can't be just "Rangers fans" and I'm not sure that it should be any of the existing groups. wouldnt it go to the trust. and as such the trustees? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 i notice Chris graham last night was suggesting the fans may give all money up front as theboard want in return for security. that seems a fair compromise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 wouldnt it go to the trust. and as such the trustees? Does the trust exist and who appoints the trustees? Are the trustees going to be acceptable to all areas of the support? There are guys who I sit beside would be very much against security being held by those involved with the UoF, even though they are not pro-board themselves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 all valid issues that may need ironed out depending on where the board go from here. it probably won't come to that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it's not, and it's interesting how this was initially meant to be a possibility it the board weren't transparent, but now they want security whatever happens. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a trust has actually been created yet, has it? If it comes to Dave King actually establishing such a thing, then I would have thought that he would be at the top of any Trust pyramid. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell has outlined the problems already, added to us being such a fractured fanbase anyway. Security over loans is standard and it's pretty much happened before with Ticketus etc, plus I don't consider the season ticket money a loan 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be more possible than you think, at least from a name perspective next seasons league is more interesting 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
