I've heard that Jim mccoll will offer ex liverpool managing director Christian purslow the top job at ibrox if he wins control of rangers in the boardroom power struggle, I don't know what every other rangers fan thinks but I for one think it would be an amazing appointment, what an appointment it would be for us if we can get purslow, his record speaks for itself guys, you just have to look at what he did at liverpool, the man has the midas touch!BIG RAM!
So what your saying Big Ram is that you read the paper the week before last like everybody else then crashed and only just woke up!
What he did at liverpool. is that the liverpool that hasn't won a league title in 23 years. not exactly a winner
Read this before aswel m8, but it would be a good move if true. Personally, I believe that McColl will move for control when the time is right and that all of these moves are to test the water, so to speak. I would suggest during or after next season. This would be reliant on no rival bid from Dave King obviously.
McColl has been approached before and shown no interest. He has stated many times he has no interest in investing in Rangers or any other football club. He is only putting his name forward to aid the shareholders bid to overthrow the current custodians.
Jim mccoll has no money in so how can he offer anyone anything?!

McColl, will instigate and be the main man behind fan ownership. He has stated before that he does not wish to line the pockets of the crooks within our club with his hard earned cash. He will support fan ownership and invest once Stockbridge, Mather, Green (yes he's still there) are all 100% gone. Why come forward with 10 million just now, when we can get them out for free next month?
We all know that fan ownership is costly and McColl will help underwrite things when the time is right, give him your backing.
Mather Stockbridge and Green, Out out out.

McColl cannot instigate anything because he doesn't have a vote. The people with the votes are all very happy with the existing board and the reason, they are making them money. The Easdales are big fans of the current board and they don't want McColl and his we minnions running around ruining their fun. Let's get this straight once and for all, UNLESS McColl is willing to buy the existing guys out then nothing will change, the other side of that is the people will want top dollar for their shares as they know he is desperate. McColl has already said HE WILL NOT pay any money to the existing shareholders so there in lies the major problem. I can stand here and shout about what I am going to do and how I am going to fix it and I would have as much clout as McColl because I am not going to put any money in either. This farcical idea of fan ownership will never happen because the club has been sold to people who want to make money. When Celtic went through the same problems as Rangers, they were taken over by a Celtic fan who laid it all on the table for the fans. We hated him for it, hated what he did to the club, as we stood by and watched the old Rangers wining everything, now we realise just how much he did for us and we are reaping the rewards. Rangers don't have that luxury as the people who bought the club and its assets for a pittance are in it to make money. The Sheffield Utd fans tried to warn you guys about Charles Green and you wouldn't listen because the big mouthed yorshireman was shouting at the SFA and that was good enough. Shame you didn't listen to what was being said, because the chance you had to take the club forward has gone. It is no surprise that Dave King is telling fans how bad things are, now I know he doesn't exactly have a great record but he knows how to make money and if he says they are spending more than they have then you have to listen to him.
Purslow helped to steady the ship at Liverpool when there was a huge risk of administration under Hicks and Gillett. He was part of the moves to remove them and bring in the current owners too. He was only at the club for a few of those 23 years so think or do some research before making daft comments.
My reading of the situation is this.
McColl will invest but not to line the pockets of the current owners. So too will others.
If the vote goes against the 'rebels' then there will be a major cash issue next season that will require either further investment or Administration.
If Administration is teh result teh current shareholders will lose out completely.
Right now it is a game of bluff and double bluff.
Mccoll does have vote and also this board is making nobody money has the share price not crashed dramatically so shareholders have lost money
There will be fighting each other to get any kind of job at Ibrox you get paid huge sums of money for doing sweet FA. It will be walking away in reverse! All this crap being spouted about its the fans that matter makes me blinking sick - Rangers Men, Aye Right!
The post 2 up. When the institutional investors were approached to put money into a club sitting in the bottom tier of Scottish football with no money, players or real business plan they would have been offered guaranteed returns on their investment otherwise none of them would have put the money in. The share price will rise and fall as stock is traded, the opening price was ridiculous as it over valued the club, it is probably now sitting at the right price BUT do you really think that the capital investors paid 70p a share, hhmm, don't think so. They would have paid probably the same as Charles or Ally, maybe slightly more but not by much because the club needed their money to survive, bit like selling your soul to the devil. let's be honest here, McColl may invest but first he needs to have a say and currently the existing board don't want him or murray anywhere near the club, that won't change at the AGM as the rebels DO NOT have enough backing to force through any changes. Administration is a real threat despite the "accounts" coming out as the club is shipping close to £1million a month and that is not sustainable, can this be averted, only if there is another share issue but I am not sure if that is allowed so soon after the 1st one, also does that mean a diluted investment for the original shareholders, again the institutional investors would not allow that to happen. Don't pay too much attention to the share price at the moment unless it nosedives significantly as I would expect to see numbers of shares being boughtsold in the lead up to the AGM as the various factions vie for position.
@ last post sorry mr you think you all but financial experts say that it's about 600k a month nowhere near your made up 1m figures also we'll see at the agm about the rest also mccoll had 30% of shareholders backing him that was enough but agreed to roll egm in with the agm and then Mather and the rest tried to pull a fast one by saying they had already sent the stuff out for the agm so the shareholders couldn't vote members on or off the board
