I just read the interview by Somers "board has Fans trust". I didn't have a view on him before this interview however I can categorically say that he is not the chairman for us. He said that the fans are behind the board and that the fans didn't understand what the red card protest was really about. So he insults our intelligence and doesn't take on board our overall concerns and yet he wants to ENGAGE with fans. Get to!&@£

Coop7, try to understand what the man is trying to say. He understands where we are coming from but we are attacking shadows that are gone. Obviously, we will not trust the new broom but give him a chance. He cannot rectify the past but if given clear ground he hopefully will sort out the basis for our future.
He can only play with the cards at his disposal and unfortunately what happened under Green is history.
My guess is the expenditure breakdowns requested will not be forthcoming but if the current board want the fans backing, certain actions by them would be a sign of good faith.
I am surprised at the negative response to cost cutting of staff as this was one area that the club went overboard. [ Compare relative costs of Dundee Utd. , Aberdeen and Inverness Caley. e. g. ]

N1 billyb you say what happened under green is history I don't think so charlie boy is still involved thus board can't sack stockbridge and they know if they did charli would put another person in why won't they allow dave king to get involved or pm cause they know secrets would be revealed

Tmwnn, I have always wanted an input from Dave King and the signs appear to be positive. Stockbridge is only one voice on the board and I think he'll be squeezed out by the rest as part of a deal with Mr King and other investors.

Billtb I also thing stockbridge will be removed but chas green will replace him with another puppet I think dave king is not been asked on board is because he would demand to see the books I think the only chance we have to remain mighty is if charlie was bought out otherwise he won't budge look at the money he must be taking out of ibrox

Looking forward I genuinely believe that Wallace and Somers will be good for Rangers but surely they can see that the one board member that the fans don't like and want out at all costs is Stockbridge so why can't they remove him from the board and replace him with someone who genuinely has Rangers at heart? Then maybe we could all get the stability in the club to enable it to move forward and hopefully get some investors in sooner rather than later. No investor will come in as long as their is unrest between the fans and the board so it would benefit everyone to remove Stockbridge NOW.

I've said it on here before - Brian Stockbridge won't be leaving Rangers until he has achieved the goal that brought him to Glasgow in the first place.

I'm guessing now that any money left at Ibrox is dwindling quickly he won't stay on too much longer. My guess would be come the time when season ticket renewals are sent out he'll agree to leave and the board will present this as though they have listened to supporters and made the decision accordingly and again 30,000+ STs will be snapped up by fans.

I wouldn't be surprised in Stockbridge is thrown under the bus on the lead up to the season ticket money being required. Prepared to give Wallace his time to turn to mold things the way he wants them. Making the best of a bad situation. what more can we do? It's time for all supporters clubs to mobilise, become unified under one banner and plan what our next steps will be. We can no longer sit on our hands and I applaud the Sons of Struth for their actions to date. The work is only beginning. One day it would be nice to look for a football result rather than what appears to be the most recent episode of The Apprentice.

Sorry to bring this up WULLIE, but you seem to contradict yourself within the space of around your first 26 words.
Wallace and Somers like everyone else can do nothing to get rid of Stockbridge.
He is the main figure in this whole farce, they have all came and went except HIM, the one who holds the purse strings and pays the money out.
Surely the light has came on in this respect? they? whoever they are? do not at this present time wish him to be removed. he still has work to do whatever it may be? and until then he will remain no matter what. They have the power ie most shares to dictate all that happens at Ibrox hence the no changes on current board and they will decide when change is needed, that is unless they? put another of their? stooges in his place that is.
Whoever is Stockbridges master?should be the worrying factor in all of this debacle, for it is they and they alone who have been the paymasters (ie) the big wages and payouts to their puppets Green and co for their hard earned work? They take the flack and the big money then walk away with nothing to happen to them other than being hated by the support.? No big deal to any of them in reality.
Its who has taken the big millions out the club we should be persuing and hopefully the media because they will milk Ibrox dry for whatever reaosn they see fit? hopefully not for much longer, becasue I can see our future season ticket money being "blagged" post haste. before they do their "walking away"?

N3 ally you beat me to it mate though I don't think I could have worded it as easy and plain as you have done mate until someone buys charliebhoy out we will be creamed I don't see how current board have no plans of there on except we need cuts we need money in other word we need your season book money how people can be so gulible is beyond me

@3 ally you are spot on in your observations, if their is still people who believe nobody is working Stockbridge from behind then we really are in a very dark place! Stockbridge, Ahmed and green are all linked and will continue to be linked as long as Stockbridge controls the spending spree at rangers, as I have stated many times he still continues to use external consultants and still uses the services of active corporate on a daily basis? Not bad for them as they have been their for the best part of 18 months drawing from the well but still the board ignore this and the sleasdales are happy for this to continue, very strange even is Stockbridge was removed on Monday morning this would only give them even more time to cover their tracks and then when they appoint the next puppet to manage the finances they will blame Stockbridge? Only this time he will be long gone and probably sitting in sunny Dubai or with his pals in the UAE spending rangers much needed cash!
