andy steel 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Wallace speaks well but he is wrong on three counts: one, his pay is very much up for public discussion and not answering will make a lot of people assume that he's in for a hefty bonus, which is not on given the circumstances; two, that our problems are being caused by external debate - fans didn't just wake up one day and think, 'ach, I think I'll go and piss off the board' for no reason: our problems are entirely board caused and need addressed by the board in a quicker, stronger and more mature manner than 'it's a' somebiddy else's fault!!' and three, waffling about the player-staff split on the payroll. You can't refuse to answer about board salaries and/or bonuses, refuse to answer where the monies have gone, and then claim to have set fans' minds at ease. I think he could do a job for us as he seems very professional, but I'm tired of being bullshitted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) In answer to my own earlier question Email from Rangers IMPORTANT – IF YOU HAVE ALREADY RENEWED YOUR SEASON TICKET OR HAVE ALREADY CANCELLED, PLEASE IGNORE THIS COMMUNICATION. Dear Alan Rangers FC would like to notify all supporters that from today, Friday 25 April, it has withdrawn the option to use credit or debit card payments for season ticket purchasers. Following today’s Business Review announcement which is available on the Rangers website here, we are contacting all season ticket holders to update them on the options available in order for them to renew their season ticket. Continued negative external comment and campaigns have created significant operating difficulties and has been threatening the Club’s orderly and progressive recovery. A current example of the difficulty being faced by the Club, and which will regrettably impact upon supporters, is that for next season supporters will now be unable to pay for their season tickets by credit or debit card. The Club’s merchant acquirer, which processes credit and debit card transactions, has advised that it would require extensive security, including a charge over Ibrox Stadium and an insurance policy at considerable cost to the Club, to protect itself against any potential liability arising from passing on monies from season ticket purchases ahead of next season’s matches. One of the major factors influencing this decision was the extensive negative coverage of calls in some quarters for supporters to refrain or delay purchasing season tickets. As previously stated, the Board will not grant security over Ibrox and therefore has regrettably decided that for the current season ticket renewal process it will proceed with direct payment only to the Club by way of bank transfer, cash or cheque payment. Any supporters who are on the automatic renewal scheme will not have their tickets renewed automatically and will also require to renew their seats individually. The Club recognises that this will inconvenience a significant number of supporters, however in the Board’s opinion, the demands placed upon the Club by the merchant acquirer are not in the best interests of Rangers. Please note however that whilst credit card and debit cards cannot be used to pay for season tickets, the continuous credit card schemes remain unaffected. To assist supporters at this time, the Club is extending the season ticket renewal window until Friday 16 May, to give every supporter sufficient time to renew their season ticket As a season ticket holder who automatically renewed your season ticket for the season ahead, due to the above changes we have not and will not be taking payment on Wednesday 30 April as was previously communicated. We are however currently holding your seat for your renewal. To allow you to secure your seat for the coming season all we need you to do is select a new method of payment from the alternative methods below by the new season ticket renewal deadline of Friday 16 May. Season ticket holders who had selected to auto renew in 4 instalments can still renew in instalments using one of the options outlined below. If you had opted to auto renew your season ticket in instalments, please refer to your previous form and deduct £10 from your first instalment only. If you had opted to auto renew your season ticket in full, please refer to the price on your previous form and this will remain unchanged. Please note that if you do not submit payment by the revised renewal deadline, the Club reserves the right to release your seat for general sale. PAYMENT OPTIONS OPTION 1 – in full by bank transfer, cheque or cash. Bank Transfer – For UK payments please use the following account details: Metro Bank, One Southampton Row, London, WC1B 5HA, Account Name: Rangers FC - Direct Ticket A/C, Sort Code: 23-05-80, Account Number: 14222855. For all overseas payments please use the following account details: Metro Bank, One Southampton Row, London, WC1B 5HA, Account Name: Rangers FC - Direct Ticket A/C, SWIFT/BIC: MYMBGB2L or IBAN: GB86MYMB23058014222855. IMPORTANT INFORMATION – if you select to pay by Bank Transfer you MUST only pay for one season ticket at a time and ensure that you use your correct 9 digit Rangers Number along with your seat details with a space in between as payee reference in order for your season ticket renewal to be processed. Your individual payee reference would therefore be XXXXXXXXXXXX Cheque – write cheque guarantee card number, expiry date, RANGERS NUMBER and seat details on reverse and make payable to The Rangers Football Club Ltd. If returning by post, please send to Rangers TICKET CENTRE, Ibrox Stadium, 150 Edmiston Drive, Glasgow, G51 2XD. Cash – only in person at Rangers ticket centre. OPTION 2 – BY 4 MONTHLY INSTALMENTS – ONLY AVAILABLE TO SEASON HOLDERS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY SELECTED TO AUTO RENEW IN INSTALMENTS There are 3 ways to pay by 4 monthly instalments: Bank Transfer – For UK payments please use the following account details: Metro Bank, One Southampton Row, London, WC1B 5HA, Account Name: Rangers FC - Direct Ticket A/C, Sort Code: 23-05-80, Account Number: 14222855. For all overseas payments please use the following account details: Metro Bank, One Southampton Row, London, WC1B 5HA, Account Name: Rangers FC - Direct Ticket A/C, SWIFT/BIC: MYMBGB2L or IBAN: GB86MYMB23058014222855. IMPORTANT INFORMATION – if you select to pay by Bank Transfer you MUST only pay for one season ticket at a time and ensure that you use your correct 9 digit Rangers Number along with your seat details with a space in between as payee reference in order for your season ticket renewal to be processed. Your individual payee reference would therefore be XXXXXXXXXX Cheque – write cheque guarantee card number, expiry date, Rangers number and seat details on reverse and make payable to The Rangers Football Club Ltd. If returning by post, please send to Rangers Ticket Centre, Ibrox Stadium, 150 Edmiston Drive, Glasgow, G51 2XD. Cash – only in person at Rangers Ticket Centre. PLEASE NOTE - you will receive reminder emails or SMS 1 week prior to subsequent payment dates – please ensure you provide/update your current email address and/or mobile to enable us to contact you. The payment dates are as follows: 1st instalment - on or before renewal deadline 2nd instalment - on or before Monday 30 June 3rd instalment - on or before Thursday 31 July 4th instalment - on or before Friday 29 August OPTION 3 – Zebra Finance by 4 or 10 monthly instalments Renew online from Thursday 1 May at http://www.rangers.co.uk/renew, download a renewal form or request a form from Rangers Ticket Centre. If you have any queries regarding the change in payment methods, please contact Rangers Ticket Centre or email ticketcentre@rangers.co.uk Thank you for your continued support RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB So (without knowing which bank Rangers were using before, but I think this is no change) it seems to me for folks like me on auto renew, all that has happened is that the Board have reacted to the criticism of the cancellation date vis-a-vis the publication of the review AND removed the £10 charge. There are 3 ways to pay in full and 4 ways to pay by 4 instalments and a 10 instalment option.

TheTinMan99 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Does anyone know Richard Gough's business experience? And before anyone gets too excited this is just a question. I have tried googling and cannot find anything. You don't need to be a businessman to know that pissing away 70m in 18 months is beyond a joke. The " big boys dun it, and ran away" explanation, is unacceptable. Those very same "big boys" are the ones who are appointing our entire board. It's shameful how "we" have fucked this up, and there is little hope in the review for it changing any time soon. I could have typed up that pish in 120 minutes, not 120 days. Tell us who's on bonuses Mr Wallace, or go fuck yourself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried googling and cannot find anything. Richard Gough's inaccurate statements are typical of the 'rebel' camp. The current board have not been in place for 18months & spent 70million. Most have been here for 7 or 8 months max.Is this deliberate mis information or what? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
