sitting last couple days thinking how the land lays we have got rid of ally we appear to have ashley on board we are in a position where the glass is half full or half empty I reckon at the minute that's thats as good as it going to be in the short term so iam waiting to see what kenny macdowalls team selection is for saturday and things look a bit better I reckon I will go back as I have stated that it was macoist my gripe was with

I wouldn't hold my breath for much change under NcDowall as he has already stated this. Maybe he will surprise us and I hope he picks an attacking team against Hibs. A good win and fans wil start backing the club again

So, we now have proof that David Somers believed on October 10th that Dave Kings offer was better for the club, but that he and the Easdales would lose their positions at the club. So he pushed through a 3m package instead of a 16m package by Dave king. (Check article in Daily Record).

Question? Are officers of public listed companies not supposed to be bound to act in the best interest of said company at all times?

If anyone out there is in doubt that RFC is being run by anything or anyone other than self interested, duplicitous lowlife - you are deluded.

Enough is enough. This cannot be swept under the floor as I believe there may be grounds for legal action and it seems that The Sons of Struth are forging ahead. It's time to unite now guys, this is the final straw

OP You did not read the full article he said also that King did not give proof that he had the money nor would he provide names of his consortium, he also points out that there is nothing stopping him from buying shares and getting his say through this route but up until now he has no shares and has not put a penny into the club. The whole thing is a mess with shysters playing with our club, I would be happy with king in charge but at this moment he is doing more harm than good.

Jyf,

The email clearly states that the majority of the board preferred Kings proposal! And that Kings arrival would be the end for the 3 musketeers, hence Somers threatening tone to the lawyers. What part of 16m versus 3m do you not understand?

how can king be doing harm he ain't doing nothing the fans have there on voice make there own choices and they have chosen not to believe a word this board say and not give them a penny more was it king that sent that email and pleaded for his job to be saved no it was that buffoon somers the other board members 3 to 2 were going to vote in favour of david kings offer untill they where removed this is not in the best interest of rangers football club this is self interest for the easdales and somers

N3 - wasn't it King who first raised the idea of the Season Ticket boycott at the start of the season?

King wants to crash the club and pick it up for next to nothing after liquidation.

At least the present board have had the balls to actually put their own money where their mouth is, unlike DK.

Without liquidation, DK's only way of taking over is to buy them out and we know he's not going to do that.

Would you spend £30,000,000 to buy a
Money-eating black hole?

DK isn't that bleeding stupid.

Craigs8688,

Thanks mate for your agreement, for a moment there I thought I was losing my mind. It is clear that the decision to accept Ashley's money was NOT in the best interests of Rangers and as such, the officers of the Club are culpable and answerable to shareholders and AIM.

Here is hoping the Lawyers acting on behalf of SOS pursue this and force those slippery characters who sat in their tent on the pitch the other day to explain why 3m was better than 16m knowing they had no cash to trade to the end of the season!. STINKS!

@2 ayr bear don't talk to me as if i'm some kind of person, of course I understand that 16m is more than 3m but King did not prove that he has the funds ready to invest, I also know that is was a stitch up by ashley, these people are playing chess with our club. I want to see somers given his jotters, not necessarily the easdales, and we need someone to take charge and outline their plans for the future be it king or ashley.
P. S. If you can't see that the boycott is harming our club then more fool you.

24 Dec 2014 12:31:09
Ashley will know for himself what somers is & and if and when he gets full control or king does get in you can bet your mortgage that somers will be gone. total agreement jyf that boycotts do more harm than good as to date they have achieved nothing other than deprive the team of much needed support

nobother Ayr Bear yeh it was kings plan at start and not much people did boycott now look at the figures attending folk have made there own mind up ad who sayed david king could not prove that he had the funds somers and we all no he talks rubbish if king couldn't prove why would rest of board want to go threw with it as for boycotts think we have well and truly supported the club in previous years something has to be done the fans are sick of being ripped off if the money was invested in rangers things would be different

24 Dec 2014 14:50:59
Again if the money that does come in needs topped up by loans what money is being "ripped off" there is none, paying themselves to much yes but "ripping us off "no, previous boards yes as there was money there.
r. f

Chaps, no one disagrees with the fact that boycotts do not do good. I am going to post a link below of an article written by Roddy Forsyth in today's Telegraph where the papers lawyers state "The Daily Telegraph has been provided with proof of the emails providence" the article also tells how Ashley "helped bring about another financial crisis at Ibrox by refusing to take part in Rangers equity issue in August then increasing his holding through a private share purchase which meant that his money would not go into the club"

Have you any idea what this guy has engineered behind your backs? He has also given up the naming rights of Ibrox in exchange for significant commercial and advertising rights within the stadium.

Let's not forget, this guy has " loaned" RFC the 3m, not given it. He has got control of the club for NoTHInG!

Sports Direct have paid RFC a total of just over 2'000 pounds in their commercial deal (That is in the published accounts)

Earlier someone said Dave King wanted the club for a song and was waiting for administration to happen again. Well, now we know that Ashley actually engineered a crisis at the Club by buying private shares with money that wouldn't go to the club - then LOANED them cash when he had them over a barrel.

And you wonder why you never hear or see him or hear his plans for the club?!

WAKE UP GUYS!. read and make up your own mind.

rf so what about these stupid contract that ashley has he is taking money out the club then loaning us our own money back that is some cheek and he has tain more than 3 million out the club that with there over inflated wages plus other contract they have tied up between there selves Ashley doesn't do things for nothing

Craig8688 ime in agreement with you mate, but I also think the boycotts have been worth having, after all had there been no boycotts everything in there garden would be looking rosy, the board would have said all is well, but at the same time robbing us blind, and it would have been blind cause we would not know of problems as we the support would have been paying for the paint to cover the cracks.

thanks George123 thought I was only one thinking along these lines glad some one else can see what happening at our club we would not have had a clue if boycotts never happened

Craig8688. I seen the problem as soon as charleboy got his big Yorkshire hands in the door, thus I never renewed book nor have I been to a game, home or way, and I won't be going to up and coming semi final, I will renew once we get all these greedy winners out the door.
