I now honestly think fellow 'bears fans that with laxey buying all these shares and now becoming the largest shareholders at rangers & they've stated today the they will be voting for the current board and not mccoll or paul murray's men that will be the end of the fight, I'm now disappointed & deeply concerned for our great club because I now believe paul murray & co can't win this fight, it should have been for chairman-david somers v dave king, for ceo-graham wallace v christian purslow etc but now its staying status quo, what's all your opinions on this fellow 'gers fans, BIG BOYDY9!

You have a point m8, and I can't argue with that, but my hope is that these factions are actually talking to each other in rangers best interests, however i'm worried who is behind all this shares business, Laxey are in this game for a reason, and it ain't because they're big Gers fans, they will soon own the rat greens shares too, all we want is to know what's happening, In saying all that it must be said the Gers board is suddenly taking on a very businesslike and decent look about it

Surprise surprise the group (Laxley) getting their first batch of shares from Green are now voting with the board instead of with fans groups. didn't take them long then to change their minds? I agree big boydy9 we shafted yet again.
Jim mccoll should have went for an egm weeks ago saved all this 5hit but we wil find out next month where we stand we must ask ourselfes if this lot are older more mature spivs
Yet again we are shafted by another bunch of liars none of these muppets deserve to be anywer near our club
its bout time we the fans stoped supporting these people we should be marching in our thousands and instead of going into the match on matchday we should demonstrate out side this is the only way the investors will get itchy feet and want to move on stop giving them our support if we can not manage to do this then we deserve everything we get we need to start fighting back because we are getting stiched up again this why been long delay for agm total farce
I think there's every chance either Marg. Holdings or Blue Pitch have sold their shares with a buy back clause after the AGM. This will avoid either of those 2 groups being identified.
I think you newbies are in deep deep trouble.
Your man King isn't buying despite price fall - why?
A sorry sorry mess, not one person in the top shareholders at our club has actually invseted money in the club? that includes Ally. They buy shares from the grey people ie Green or prehaps people have been right and it is Ticketus in disguise getting part/or all of their money back.
Hope someone got the balls to dig deep into this heap of manure, can only see non investment and cost cutting along way with Laxley in the group all they do is want profit? which would mean large amount cut backs in staff and costs that's their MO. Not a case of living within our means more a case of they including Easedales etc taking thier pound flesh from seaon ticket money etc then if and it a big IF devide rest up into team etc? we running at loss presently so saimilar class player at present going to be norm if not less?
He not buying because the money goes straight to the robbers not the club? why would he wish to invest into thier pockets? buy as many shares as you can? for what reason? to end up with massive debts current board running up?
King I feel is waiting on the fans to finally wake up? and not buy into their usual crap club against the world nonsense. after AGM think there going to be an awful lot of angry people and hopefull we won't be buying their seaon tickets package. unfortunatly it the only way to go. to get rid of the whole nasty mess.
If you want control you must buy it. They had their chance and didn't end of story. Rangers will never be a force in football again.
OP there was only one way McColl and co were going to be able to put up any fight at all and that was to buy shares, just like the easdales, just like Lakey etc, that's how you win control by having more shares than others, Their fight was over before it even begun,
ok they have managed to get a resolution put forward at the AGM but without the backing of shareholders that will go nowhere
I only hope that Stockbridge is not voted back on at the AGM and then none of the original board will remain
I hope that would be the first step in the right direction for us, unless of course George's grand conspiracy theory (which has been several years in the planning) includes just about every businessman and investment company in the UK to be in on the plan
6 month interim accounts are due after the end of december, that will tell us if we have stopped the cash drain, or not

Tommyblue. the board is looking more business like?. the Easdales, sat and said nothing, nothing as asset strippers were welcomed in our door. Rangers fans?. businessmen?
@6 Ally
If the Laxley group come in and start costing cutting as you say then how exactly are they going to turn in a profit? If the top players are sold and the team starts to struggle the supporters will stop coming especially if as you say the current board aren't interested in the club. Drastically reduced season ticket money and poor performances on the pitch can only lead to the share price tumbling even further. As for selling the players to get money well there isn't going to be much profit in that when we are currently playing in the 3rd tier of Scottish football. Even Wallace our best player would only command a nominal fee maybe £300-£400k at the moment. Now I am not saying for a minute you are wrong or that I am a supporter of the current board but surely it can't make business sense to spend millions and millions on something then just run it into the ground?
Lax are not interested in the Team that will never turn a profit? However the assets are worth much more. I would start worrying abt their intentions.
Stewie they will sell on the assests. such as Ibrox. etc. in sell and out in profit. Ally and backroom staff wages cut. players etc wages cut to balance books where they can make profit. Its what should been done by Green and co. we will have players on a top wage of around 1 or 2 thousand they don't do losing money. its not in their make-up. No maater what they either cut or sell on. for PROFIT. Why do you think thye have invested? because they like football? your having a laff surely. Even worse we can't stop them.
It says in today's paper that blue pitch and margherita holdings have transferred shares to sandy easdale the one and only way to keep people from finding out who they are
As the song says "Lets have a drink. its Margarita time. "
@14 they have given sandy easdale the voting rights for those shares
Jg
Stevie what's it to be, we all want the club to be run on a financially sound basis, for that to happen costs have to be cut and more revenue generated, now your complaining about costs being cut what's it to be?
JG
@jg and your point is easdale still has their voting rights and they will be used to keep this board in power and they won't have to disclose who blue pitch and magerita really are
@17 JG
Before you have a go at me please read my post. I am not complaining in it at all just trying to state that I don't think the situation is as clear cut as certain people are making out
{Ed039's Note - not heard from you for a while Mr Molloy, I am in absolute agreement with you mate, many of us had hoped to build from the bottom, make use of Murra ..... I mean Auckenhowie, but as I have said all along the business plan is all wrong. As for Murray, King et al, they were there but I dont think admin/liquidation can be attributed to them, that must lie at the door of SDM and his hollywood financial advisors and Craig Shite and ticketus)
