Just been treated like mince by ticket office, they made a mess of my online ticket purchase, blaming the Manchester call centre. Now in Elgin with no brief, apparently I can pay at the gate tomorrow.

Was there an online sale of tkts for Elgin? I could not see it on the website!!

Jg

Do that then!

Yes there was a online sale, also for sheffield but that's a sell out now according to the website

THE Board is pleased to announce that James Andrew Easdale, aged 42, has been appointed today as a Non-executive Director to the Company.

Mr Easdale is an entrepreneur and a director of several businesses including McGill’s Bus Service Limited, a leading independent bus operator in Scotland.

Mr Easdale said: “As a lifelong Rangers supporter, I am proud and honoured to serve on the board of such a great sporting institution and look forward to helping Rangers Football Club continue its journey back to the top of Scottish football. ” (Source: Gers website)

Change the name but it's the same tired old statement. Charles Green resigned? don't make me laugh he's got the whole place sewn up with companies he controls. Easdale wants Greens shares so he won't be making any noise.

SFA's "Fit and Proper Person" check should be interesting.

SPM

@2 sfa don't do fit and proper checks or we wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place

@2 Are you not glad then that the Stupid Football Ass put this in place then.

Anyone hear the tape of Green claiming UEFA corrupt. has that killed rangers chances of ever getting back into Europe?

Green even called Platini useless. why would a Rangers CEO say that on tape? and not sue if tape released. this can't be true?

@3 sfa have nothing to do with the mess u r in over spending and not paying debts is why u got into the mess u r in. its not up to other people to tell u how or who to run your club u were warned about green and white did you listen no

@6 mate the sfa are partly to blame they run the game in this country so if they did proper checks on potential owners then we wouldn't have got whyte or been liquidated and it was nothing to do with over spending we wer managing our debts

Hi Ed, do you know if Murray and Cartmell have gone only to be replaced by one of the Easdale brothers, future looks decidedly dodgy if this should be the outcome, obviously I hope that will not be the case, as we as a club have had enough unsavoury characters with shady repute without either of these two getting on board. {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware, they have just gone and it has been a long time coming. Whether new members will be appointed to the board in the future is hard to call. Certainly they would want an involvement if they put money in.}

The Easdales have to get Greens shares in 6 months first. Unfortunately its the one with the tax conviction that's most interested in sitting in a directors chair at the club. Surely stand in CEO Smith must resign. He threatened this if Murray went. McCoist is now getting the clear out he shouted for and probably replacements. Everybody wants to see accounts.

Well I've said for a while now that if everyone buys a season ticket then as soon as the money is in the spivs can get rid of the real Rangers men (& can Walter Smith now really remain in place?)

Disgusted by what is going on. A truly awful day for the club.

This could be the worst scenario for Rangers. Forget the Easdales, Morgan is the guy who will decide what happens. Green and Ahmad will pull the strings. Morgan will insist on sweeping cuts, the hints have been dropped already. They have the season book money that is all they needed. working capital through to Dec/Jan, green and friends sell up, walk away and the company is placed in another administration. This then will leave the Easdales with control of Rangers. One flaw in this plan is craig whyte.

Murray and Cartmell forced out, Cenkos sacked ; hardly a stable environment for investors. May be a and interesting financial statement on the way.

@1 get your facts right before posting

Walter Smith is the non exec chairman

Craig Mather is the interim CEO

You do know that the directors voted unanimously for Murray to be relived of his position as Chairman - that included WS so why should he now resign.

There will be more changes in the boardroom until one person or one group own a controlling % of the shares

JG

@2 why is it an awful day?
you do know that Cartmell did not even make the effort to travel to Glasgow to sit in the boardroom meetings,
why would we want to keep a director with that attitude?

JG

Correct Ed. It has been coming for a wee while.
Don't know the details but it was rumoured in the past that Easdale and a guy called Morgan would be replacing them.
Is it more than coincidence that over thirty thousand SB's have been sold via the renewals, with the public sale due at the end of the month?
I hope WS stays put, if he goes I fear the worst again.

You know I wish Walter would just speak up or leave then the fans will decide what way to go his silence makes it feel hunky dory will it be too late before he opens his mouth if he even does? Too many if these so called Rangers men have sat back & watched us spend money we don't have while taking away with a healthy wage packet every week & it's still going on to this day. Wish we could bring back Alastair Johnstone without David Murray being his boss.

Well here we go again, directors moving on change of brokers? why all the movement now after our great season ticket sale?
We must be the most gulible supporters in the whole of Britian, to sit there thinking this is in the best intrests of our club?
Walter takes it all on chin and thanks Murray & Cartmill for a great job done? but leaves us all guessing on why Green and his cohorts still all remain all though mostly in the shadows. If this is all to delay any accounts coming out on planned date, then we surely have to act! this time? Hopefully our man Walter will be coming out with his exact feeling on matter very soon or he is not the man I thought he was.

@8) Alastair Johnston was the biggest wage earner, so u just contradicted yirself. Honestly, nae brains. Or is it Jabba working the boards again with nonsense? Walter off the big chair AJ onto it? Ibrox big money earners merrygoround? Fans haven't got rid of any of them and are burdened with them.

@7. Why would you fear the worst again? WS was put in to do a job and will be handsomely paid for it. He was there for one reason and one reason only to sell tickets. There is no way back for WS now as he said he would leave if Murray was dismissed. So WS it time to stand up and be counted.

JG - "You do know that the directors voted unanimously for Murray to be relived of his position as Chairman - that included WS so why should he now resign. "?

How do you know this? No minutes released from board. so this is speculation and spin - by who green?

@12 - club statement to stock exchange 30th may 2013
