This is really killing me. Another week another story of how rangers need this much money or the board are doing this or that. I maybe can't support the team like some of you, living here in orkney it just isn't possible. but that doesn't mean I care any less. every weekend i'm keeping me eye on the scores watching when possible. but how much more can we physically take. lesser fans at lesser clubs would not be caring anymore.
ive spoken to fans of other clubs who have even had to admit that the rangers fans have been something else for the last 2 year.
but how much more can we take?
because this is bloody ridiculous

Good post we have supporters from all over the world and here in Scotland feeling just like you, all we can do is keep the faith and do what we can, but it's a shambles and the footballs not exactly entertaining either poor display first half yesterday but we got away with it.

Sorry but I completely disagree, we claim to be the best supporters in the world but watched our club enter admin, and even to this day still watching our club struggle. A lot of bears expect millionaires to come in and throw money, or believe rangers will never close.
We need to learn from fans like Portsmouth, fc united of Manchester, fc Wimbledon, even hearts. I believe that this club needs a complete overhaul from board to manager.

My final thought would be the Uof starting a fund for rangers fans to donate to. We the fans should and need to own the most shares as we love this club.

Is there not already a couple of fans funds. The one that is set up similar to Hearts is Rangers First Community Ownership and they offer monthly membership of either £5, £10, £18. 72 or a one off payment of £500. The problem for me is that there is more fund and so many supporter groups. They should all be amalgamated in to one fund or the other so that we can all get behind the one body and pull in the same direction. Having several different options and various groups (SOS, UOF etc) is not helping. We can achieve so much more united and it suits the board that we are not. The old adage 'Divide and Conquer' springs to mind. I'm joining the afore mentioned fund but would be happy to join whatever group the majority decided as long as we stuck together.

@2, behave, you might want to risk your cash with the self promoted UOF, but I would certainly not. They have this belief that only them or D King has any right to run this great club. The likes have chased previous possible investors (remember the cr.p that the American had to stand). They have created this image that them and only them represent rangers supporters, and I have no doubt they would object to any investor other than D King.

Do any of you guys think that as fans by holding up a red card and singing sack the board will make a difference they're all in it together and they won't sack each other.

Bongo we have got to let these board members know we are protesting what do you sugest we do get them a pat rise lol

The cards and the songs won't make a difference. But a stadium which is only 2/3 full will. Starve them of the money and they'll finally have to go cap in hand to Dave King. I can't beleive Easedales and Co would see the club go back into Administration and lose the money they've paid for shares without a desperate attempt to sell out.

I'm all for showing them how we feel guys and I'm pretty sure they know how we feel if some of the board were with us it could make a difference but they'll all just sit tight in there offices bleeding us dry!

They won't lose money they paid for shares as they will just sell Ibrox, mp etc close the company down and walk away with bank books bulging the only way to get rid is make them an offer and buy them out .

@2. But you have to remember that the shares the Easdales have are in RIFC and that has a £16m (in June 2013) call on TRFC assets. They are in no real danger of losing all their money if the club go into Admin. The club, though, could easily lose the assets.

@ tmwtn we bit of a contradiction there mate as further down the page u say your posts have always been the same & u will only be back once the conmen have gone so how can u sing the songs and protest with the other fans if your not there
r.f

Rf I have not been near ibrox nor have I been to any away days the people that hold the cards up and sing sack the board are protesting in this way my protest has been to boycott everything to do with the club at this moment in time and as a suporter for ver near 50 years it busts my chops I said from day one I wouldn't be back and my word is my bond I ain't been back

All above I've just watched an audio on the sos page why don't yous listen then see how your views change on these pure conmen after this is brought to light I expect a few doors to go in as previous charlieboy ammed stockbridge thm all trying to decide what they will do with rangers next then come back and tell me I am wrong
