craig 5,195 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 You would certainly think so. Which would make it easy enough for him to recuse himself from that part of any discussions. Just because a potential conflict of interest may be in play shouldn't necessarily exclude someone from running for office. Easy enough to prevent a potential conflict from becoming an issue, perceived or real. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that almost any discussion at the RF Board would be about Rangers shares or otherwise investing in club assets and all such discussions would present conflicts for Mr Blair.

If buying in the open market there is no conflict of interest. The Club are not dictating share price. And as said previously, RF can only invest in club assets IF the Club allows it. This gives James Blair TWO opportunities to recuse himself from the discussions - at the RF Board level AND at the RFC Board level. Cries of conflict of interest don't exclude one from running for office. I still think you are being a bit disingenuous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,195 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well the voting is now closed and thanks for everyone who voted for me. Whether I am elected or not I sincerely hope we can progress Rangers First and help improve Rangers and The Rangers Community as per RF's aims. The bigger picture here should be simple. 1. A vehicle for fans being able to purchase shares in the Club that we love, one we feared losing and one we never wish to go through all of "that" again 2. A unified voice amongst our support which holds the Club, media, detractors, enemies, liars and "neer-do-well's" accountable. We don't need one vehicle for all things. But we shouldn't need more than a couple. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal_Blue_Legend 1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks to everyone who voted for me and i look forward to the result. Those elected are there to facilitate the members and should remember that when listening to proposals. Rangers First – Core Principles Rangers First is by definition a One Member One Vote organisation and the democratic right of all members is highly regarded. Rangers First Board Members are elected by and responsible to the membership. Rangers First Board Members have a term of office that stops them becoming fixtures on the board. Rangers First is a fiercely independent organisation in which no undue pressure or influence can be applied. Rangers First aims to have a good and fertile working relationship with any and all RIFC Boards however they are constituted but will not favour any groups or individuals other than by the democratically confirmed support of its membership. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 i would think most of the discussion would be about raising the money not spending it 14,000 people are paying automatically monthly, not much discussion needed there I wouldn't think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They exclude you under the SD Code of Conduct for Directors which all candidates were asked if they had any issues with which is another way of inviting compliance with those rules. I am not being disingenuous at all. I have stated what I truly believe to be the case and it is clear that many people including other candidates in the election have the same or similar concerns.
