Anchorman 0 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 With regard to VB and their stance, they've published this article today which may enlighten a few folk as to their point of view: http://www.vanguardbears.co.uk/article.php?i=41&a=a-financial-experts-opinion-of-rangers\%27-future Wow, I'm glad I don't go to that 'financial expert' for advice.

Toss a coin, 'cos I can't make up my mind." To make informed judgements in the Rangers saga, you need to have more than just financial expertise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My guess with the vb is board out and king and Gilligan on. Their is wisdom in crowds 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,148 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My guess with the vb is board out and king and Gilligan on. Their is wisdom in crowds I'd agree. Some VB may like to make mischief but they aren't daft. If there's a collective vote I'd be surprised if it was overly different to the one on RM for example. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My guess with the vb is board out and king and Gilligan on. Their is wisdom in crowds I'd say it's possibly board out - and they won't vote King, Murray or Gilligan on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 With regard to VB and their stance, they've published this article today which may enlighten a few folk as to their point of view: http://www.vanguardbears.co.uk/article.php?i=41&a=a-financial-experts-opinion-of-rangers\%27-future In saying that, VB did carry D'art's article from yesterday so there is clearly some editorial balance thankfully. Curious logic at work in that piece. Flags up the uncertainty surrounding King/3TB but ignores the certainty of what has been done to us and relies on 'Ashley's got lots of money so it'll be ok', omitting to note that a proportion of his 'lots of money' used to be our but has been gifted to him by the board. On the positive side, even in this piece, there's a scepticism about Ashley and his intentions that wasn't evident in the VB's output up until quite recently, even if the anti-King and Murray line is still there. Presumably it's getting harder even for them to ignore the increasing mountains of evidence that the club has been forcibly bottomed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Question out of curiousity, who would take the help if the board were voted out but the majority of votes did not vote King and Co in? Can that happen? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it's getting harder even for them to ignore the increasing mountains of evidence that the club has been forcibly bottomed. I've seen various people soften their attitude in recent weeks. Quite simply there's nothing positive to lay your hat on when it comes to the status quo. Hence, why we get the weak Ashley billionaire argument rather than something based on fact. Doesn't matter who in effect controls the club, the net worth of the main benefactor shouldn't be a long term issue. We need to stand on our own two feet, not rely on the good nature of person A or B. The boom and bust SDM spending era is long gone and will not be repeated. Some fans have still to accept that.
