THE Club has received many calls in recent days from fans, shareholders and other interested parties with regard to the contents of an Irish-based internet blog which has published numerous allegations about the business affairs of Rangers Football Club.
The Club wishes to make clear that these allegations are totally inaccurate and that the Chief Executive and Board of Directors are fully focussed on the restructuring and rebuilding of Rangers Football Club as previously announced.
The Club has decided to make this statement as unchallenged, ill-informed and inaccurate comments are damaging to the reputation of Rangers Football Club.
Graham Wallace
Chief Executive Officer
People were moaning for statement there it is and well done the gers tonight, to think there was so called fans wanting us to get beat tonight makes ye sick
1.) Sammy 1974 - statement from the CEO saying that bloggers allegations are unfounded - odd that
JG
2.) To Sammy 1974, odd that, odd. what
3.) If they can make a statement on that why can't they make a statement on the clubs financial position and if short term or long term funding it would galvanize the support to rally round the cause even better help to get rid of the spectre of green/stockbridge/khan and all there hangars on
4.) Well done Mr Wallace and well done Ally and the team- again I did enjoy the match tonight- pity we cannot play Dunfermline every week.
Great to see two class acts in Templeton and Sheils hit form even Cooperboy will have to admit Templeton's touch was on the money tonight.
Only one moan tonight could Jig or somebody have a word with Black and tell him to clear off when we have a free kick? How many opportunities will he be allowed to waste?
Otherwise great stuff!
5.) If he does not reply then it must all be true. If he does reply then it all must be true. McCoist gives an opinion and he gets pelters. McCoist doesn't give an opinion he is dodging the question.
Nit pickin

Sounds good on the one hand, but on the other hand I don't remember a previous statement about "restructuring" the club. Does anyone else? And what do you think he means by that?
7.) Everybody is entitled to have an opinion but they also have the right to say nothing even ally
8.) Nbear yes he was great but that is what I want from him every game I know he has the talent but he has been poor for a while I hope this is him back to where he was last season even Black had a better game so happy Wallace is still with us and hope he is with us for long haul think we need cover at centre back fingers crossed for a home tie if we can get through that it's home again for semi but let's not look to far ahead there are better teams than us in there but so happy you gave me a mention someone must read my posts

Just been re-reading wallace's statement. Anyone else feel slightly uneasy about the reference to "Irish-based"? Surely the correct term would've been "Ireland-based", if any such reference was really needed at all? Is this just an innocent mistake of poor grammar, or is it an attempt to pander to the worst elements of our fan base? I'll probably get pelters for this but seriously it reminds me of the kind of rhetoric that Green started to use to (successfully) dupe that section of the fans. Distasteful IMO.
10.) Pauline - the normal outcome from admin is that shares are delisted, as shareholders (many people don't grasp this) are the actual owners of the company, they are the last to receive anything, if indeed there is anything left in the pot for compensation of the loss of their shares
11.) Dear JG. and lw - hey guys "odd that" is now a real phrase - ta.
Anyway to the official press release from our club (6-0 :).
"The Club wishes to make clear that these allegations are totally inaccurate"
wow - odd that!
No exactly a line by line rebuttal, anyone think this is the minimum £500 press release statement??
Why even bother mentioning bloggers posts. unless they being read by fans, shareholders and investors. now we know why the bloggers site was upgraded to NEW FASTER servers this week - to cope with the load.
Blogger states statement coming - it did - blogger states we can't get finance (no statement to say we can or have? ). blogger thought Wallace would walk - looks like he did not.
but bloggers get few sources and glimmers and need to draw conclusions - which could be false and tomorrows chip wrappers.
So odd that there is even mention that one lone blogger (who is being covered on the share sites) is causing so much grief. really.
Just refute the alegations one by one, and show they baseless.
otherwise we all sit and think. does his have start of a new story, a second admin. because if we can't get finance and we running at a loss - its only a matter of time.
When one blogger has this effect on a 140year old business - you know we in trouble.
No mention of lawsuits - so there are kernals of truth in his allegations sufficient to stop any legal cases.
You can only sue if its false and groundless. a modicum of truth and you cannot sue.
So I take it we can't get finance, and we on brink of collapse (15% pay cut is a big clue).

@10 Thanks for trying to answer my question JG but are you not perhaps mixing up administration and liquidation? In liquidation the company is wound up, ceases to exist, so the shares are delisted and shareholders (who I do understand own a company, that's what they have a share of) get whatever pittance is due to them from the pot. But administration is different is it not? And not every admin ends up in liquidation. In a "successful" admin the company isn't wound up, it remains a going concern and emerges from admin as the same company - and surely with the same shareholders? Where and why in that process would shares be delisted and shareholders given something in return from some pot?
13.) @3 in my mind no statement was required but the board decided to make one anyway, anyone who takes these blogs a a reliable source rea, lly needs to have a think to themselves
Regarding financial statements, companies don't make these every week or month, there is an annual account year end 30 June and there will be interims up to 31december which we will see next month
It's called business practice, show me any company who makes financial statements at the drop of a hat
@11 I ant going to respond, if you believe the bloggers that's up to you
JG
14.) Why do the board reply to a blog, but refuse to reply to fans asking about blue pitch, etc. do rangers hold the deeds, but not actually own them?
15.) JG fans, shared holders and potential investors FORCED the board to respond to this blogger.
Seems THEY ALL READ HIIM. odd that.
Why would fans, share holders and potential investors not look at facts and figures. and look at mere speculators. but if the blog releases info no-one else will dare then people will read it - as we see.
The Sun splashes story and no comment, journalist asks this week if our VAT is paid and response is "No comment".
A lot of what that blogger says is pish, but lots of what he said was denied before, and happened!
I believe facts - and with each statement released to AIM our shareprice has fallen. so even raising new funds via shares is diluted.
Very little good positive news from our club to counter genuine fan concerns (so genuine they read bloggers sites).
16.) @9 what? If you are based in Ireland then you are Irish based, if your based in Scotland your scottish based England English etc etc, those terms are used daily
JG
Back to his old ways? Do you mean top goal scorer ever in spl?
What game did you watch? Wallace was pish anaw
Is it not the chief exec or chairman who negotiate transfer dealings? They are the ones in charge of writing the cheques.
Doubt ferguson would have been in charge of how much blackpool offered
What you mumbling George?
