What are your thoughts on the requisition of general meeting of shareholders for resolutions to remove Craig Mather and two others as directors and appoint Paul Murray and Frank Blin as directors?

02 Aug 2013 20:20:53
Publicity stunt. Chuck still has the support of most shareholders. If he didn't Malcolm Murray would still be in a job.

I know you cannot always believe what Radio Clyde and particularly Hugh Keevins have to say, but on tonight's show he said that whilst on the pre season tour in Germany he sat down with both Walter and Ally, who both told him Mathers was a "great guy and someone we can work with"
a lot of two faced comments all over Ibrox these days. I feel sorry for the genuine fans who do not really know who to trust and who, if anybody, is telling the truth. Timalloy

Someone help me out here. Much as I believe Paul murray has the club's interest at heart. 1' he never fought hard enough and 2 is he not banned due to his previous with oldco? Confused.

3) think he left before went into admin

@3 he was there inlast 5 years, so would qualify for director ban IF action is taken, in meantime he can return

remember d&p did not allow anyone but green to buy, green was whytes chosen one, and green supposedlystuffed whyte, yet is on tape with whyte talking about visit to eufa well after buyout and stich up?

soneone is fighting green, trying to boost board with experience and guss this is smith. so sound good ploy

we just need accounts audited and some transparency. smith gets that and he's half way there, half way out of darkness.

Just heard that Colin McAdam has died aged 61.
Condolences to his brother Tom and rest of his family. RIP Colin. Timalloy

A great pro and a geat guy too by all accounts. Far too young to die. RIP.

R. I. P colin great teacher and a quality guy my heart felt condolences to his family and friends

Feed the Bear, he would score at one end then play the rest of the game at centre half. In those days we would end up being beaten 3-1 by Airdrie. Condolencies to his family, a great big player.

My first rangers shirt had his number on it. RIP big man
Al

Just in case Ozzie Al comes on claiming I'm pretending to be a fan of the Ibrox club again; the Al @4 is not me.

Chuck Green 'returns' to Ibrox as a consultant! Did anyone believe he had really went anywhere in the first place?
Honestly, you couldnae make it up

They must think our heids are zipped up the back

Spot on Baybear - reading the announcement he is in post to 'promote Rangers interests and advise on capital structure being the key. There is an army of consultants out there who can advise on corporate structure and you cannot argue Green is better than all of them - given Green's toxic brand the only explanation of this appointment is that it was forced on the club. Makes Mather look very weak.

In light of Charles Green returning as a "consultant" all Rangers fans are asked to pay all monies directly into his offshore bank account at "Gullible Bears. CON" Bahamas lol Timalloy

Tickeus need someone keeping an eye out for them.

Just in time for newcastle at the sports direct arena.

It's just disgusting to be honest. It was obvious that he was still in the background but I had hoped at least he would just stay in the background.
We could really do without his 'casual racism' and clumsy straight talking Yorkshireman routine. However, the man is just one of many who will feast at the Ibrox table until there is nothing left. His presence will continue to undermine our club and our attempts to get back on our feet.
I would again urge all Rangers supporters to join the RST and push for change. unless someone else has a better idea?
Alternatively we could continue to ignore the obvious, instead focusing on who gets the biggest attendance of the season and how fancy our new WiFi system is going to be.

Apologies again, sarcasm is merely a disguise for my outright anger.

@baybear I don't mean to be funny but I reckon the majority of your fans do have their heads zipped up the back! I know you have been vocal in your thoughts but guys like chris graham blame everyone else but the folk in charge. I personally think the way you fans are treated is a joke but until someone makes a stand against the suits then I'm afraid these guys will just keep taking the p!ss. All this 'we don't do walking away' crap has played right in to their hands and they know it! since Craig whyte left I'm afraid fans must take some a lot of the blame.

It's an embraasment, end off, Walter must've known.

Ticketus here we go again Ticketus have no association with the Newco.

Aye Baybear I warned myself once the season ticket money was in that the spivs would do as they liked.

Ally start shining the tip of your nose because it's going in for a 2nd time. Walter and Ally are taking and saying nothing!

Funny how he leaves at the end of the season and comes back at the start of the season. How many ST are sold at ibrox? They have made it look like green is away come on in your in safe hands get the season ticket money in then green is back. How much meat is left on the bone now? I always believed new rangers would struggle to get to spl level and the thought of a another admin was close but now green is back, more back stabbing happening there than than the whole of the west of Scotland. Brave face it all you want shhit has now hit the carpet & it's not coming off

I thought Charles green was writing a "warts an all" book about what he say and did at rangers (was on an interview on talksh1t radio)
Interview was done after he'd resigned and he said book was being done an due to be released soon.
I wonder if this was another untruth?

@ baybear mate the rst have done f*ck aw so far why would they break their silence now they and the rest of groups are a joke

He was just waiting for the heads in the sand boys to talk larky bear and a few others into buying season tickets then he came back in a flash. He didn't go anywhere same as whyte

The bold Charlie knew season ticket sales wouldn't go well whilst he was still on the scene, solution was for him to take a wee holiday, season tickets are sold, Charlie returns for his bite of the pie, Charlie makes lots more money at the expense of those paying for season tickets. oh, and so do Wally and Atty!

@13- Can't totally dispute that sentiment mate but I've made the point many times before; join up and have a voice. What other alternative do you suggest? We had our chance with season ticket power and yet again we went with our heart, me included. Held out a bit longer than most but ultimately I'm just another who has relinquished power out of a mix of love and fear. We have made ourselves impotent yet again and must shoulder some responsibility. How many more times are we going to let ourselves be mugged off?

Smith and McCoist are a disgrace, they are in this up to their necks, I hope this is over soon and ALL of these charlatans get their just desserts, especially McCoist, how the mighty have fallen, I hope they made it worth his while, from boyhood hero to absolute zero!

What have Smith and Ally actually done wrong here? (Not really sure what they are doing anyway). I can't believe they are deliberately milking your club. Ally (may not be the best manager) is plodding along on the football side and Smith is doing a PR job. Both doing what is expected of them. However, the boardroom chaos is another matter.

Reports are suggesting that our new defensive midfielder Arnold peralta is very like our ex Italian midfielder rino gattuso in style with his aggressive, combative style of play, if peralta is anywhere near as good as gattuso was I'd be over the moon, because gattuso on his day was at one point the best defensive midfielder in the world, he had the best engine I'd ever seen in any defensive midfielder, I loved gattuso when he was with rangers, what do you think guys?BIG RAM!

I would say durrant was a better midfielder before his injury. but gattusso was different gravy aswell

Best defensive midfielder in the world? Get a grip mate. Good but no where hear that.

He did captain a World Cup winning Italian side. Comes close in my opinion.
GBlue

@3/ Captain? Think again.

Did anyone actually watch Gattuso play for rangers or do we just talk about the player he became? I don't remember him being great for rangers and I am glad he has now retired that I don't need to read that he's "coming home"

@5 saw him many times and he held his own in our era of great signings Laudrup and Butcher plus home greats like Goram, Durrant and Ally. he put the shift in of 2 players which is exactly the way he played for AC Milan and Italy just by then he was finished article. I mind one 'FRIENDLY' against Liverpool he took on Ruddock with some very hard tackling and came out of it with Ruddocks respect after match. if only we had another like him now. george

Why would you need a defensive midfielder in the league your playing in?

What about Ian Black, maybe Super Ally feels we need to shore up midfield in a higher league, because he'll stick with 1 up front, probably Daly, ahhhh another season of hopeless long ball headless chicken schoolboy football.
