King calling out the board, wants an EGM to let the fans decide, don't think he's gave this up guys. Record abd Sun reporting it as breaking news.
19 Sep 2024 21:49:05
Fort that's because he knows most fans would back him, I'm very cautions on him mate but only my opinion.
19 Sep 2024 22:00:47
is it not an EGM of shareholders but what he is asking is that every other shareholder apart from fan shareholders don't vote. does that not mean that just club 1872 would vote fro new chairman. is that a good thing? don't know just asking.
19 Sep 2024 22:08:20
The fans won't decide at an EGM either, the shareholders will decide and the fans only hold a minority of shares. A lot of people are wary of King, after all he did quit and has been trying to sell his shares ever since .
He has hero syndrome, he always wants to ride to the rescue but gets bored when he just has to run the club in a normal day to day. What the club definitely doesn`t need is a civil war where the club is left in limbo as two ego maniacs take pot shots at each other.
We need all the key positions filled so that a way forward can be planned asap. I thought we were past all that crap and if its going to start again I despair for our club.
20 Sep 2024 05:25:37
Read the reports of what has been asked wsl, and as a shareholder, do u not think you would like to increase your clubs position and profitability, we're treading water, and it's time for change. Last time he did it he got rid of Ashley, imagine your despair if we were still involved with him.
20 Sep 2024 07:44:34
Correct Fork and as a many year shareholder also i want our club to have possibly outside investment coming in and a guy at the helm who's not afraid to make these decisions and push our club on and hopefully get closer to them across the road ? We're going back the way here and need someone like dave king that's going to be able to shake our club back in the upward direction ?.
20 Sep 2024 09:18:21
Fork, Walter, you guys are blinded. The major shareholders will not all a fans vote.
King is shafting the fans.
20 Sep 2024 10:53:07
You are probably correct John, but something needs to change we are static, might just be a catalyst, who knows.
20 Sep 2024 10:57:03
to be honest they should have employed people that were capable of running the club we should of used Bassey and Aribo money to invest in players for the long term. create a new trading model and become a money making club. Failure for them to do this has set us back another 10+ years these people in charge of rangers are not rangers men and should be ousted.
20 Sep 2024 11:02:45
For me we must move for someone else. I want us to move for someone who has no affiliation eith the club but a strong business background that will develop our club. King isn't the person to take our club forward for me. We need someone that can set us up to progress not just now nut over the next decade.
20 Sep 2024 11:15:43
Why won't they allow a fans vote?
20 Sep 2024 11:25:40
Because if u owned 10% of shares would u let someone who owns 100 shares vote. Fork.
20 Sep 2024 11:33:51
King talking about investment when he took his £5m back out of the club at a key point.
Also, it isn’t (or certainly wasn’t) about a need for external investment - it’s about not spending our own money terribly as we have done for 2 years+
We generate fantastic money as a club we are one of the biggest clubs in world football just spend better and smarter.
20 Sep 2024 11:35:06
RangersDaftFloyd, unless you have a time machine we cannot go back and change what happened two years ago, a lot of the money was invested in players, probably the wrong ones but that was done by people either no longer at the club, Wilson and GVB and board members like Park who no longer take an active role in the running of the club . Bennett also got rid of a few of the executive board when he took over a year or so ago, so its not the same people making the decisions. When you say the people in charge are not Rangers men? who do you mean? The major shareholders who used their own money to save the club along with the "messiah" King or the current directors who actually don`t need to be Rangers men as they are professionals doing a job of work. What the club needs is a permanent Chairman and a new CEO as soon as possible, not an internal battle between guys who once put the club first but now want to attack each other.
20 Sep 2024 12:34:21
Wsl a great post from someone who gets it, this has nothing to do with our club just a major bun fight between two warring families.
20 Sep 2024 14:16:53
Fair point John re fan vote earlier?.
20 Sep 2024 15:01:39
One guy firm or group with with money and some business savvy, we don't have any of it, just ties and blazer chasers who have to make a personal profit on every penny they put up and get the best seats free of charge. That is Scottish football generally right down to the juniors, maybe with a few exceptions like Ross County and . might not be an 'and ' actually.
20 Sep 2024 16:04:00
Moffat who are the ties ad blazers at rangers.
20 Sep 2024 17:25:33
John, please provide support for your assertion that King shafted the club.
20 Sep 2024 18:35:40
Bankie where do I say king shafted the club, I do say he is at present shafting the fans, something I have told him.
20 Sep 2024 18:40:26
I'm well wary of King . be careful what you wish for.
20 Sep 2024 18:49:35
John, very insightful and clearly informed and not just from the heart.
20 Sep 2024 19:01:33
Moffat, I think those guys who spent a lot of money rescuing our club deserve to have a tie and blazer and a free seat. Without them there may not be any seats for anybody to sit in.
People should never forget how bad things were and the amount of money it took to save the club and invest in the team and stadium to get us back even to where we are now. Some fans complain about ticket prices and the cost of strips but expect the board to keep putting up millions even if it is in the form of loans.
Don`t forget they took a lot of their loan money back in shares and the club has no outside debt. The fact that the club is now in a better place and can pay back some of the loans is a positive thing. If a mega rich prospective owner wants to take us over fair enough but it won`t be King.
20 Sep 2024 19:07:36
Okay John, how is King shafting the fans?
20 Sep 2024 19:18:07
He is playing to the crowd for ultimate own gain - he wants the pitchforks and burning torches to be out and create mass hysteria.
20 Sep 2024 19:32:59
By simply airing all this in the public, lies lies and more lies.
Read blue Floyd sums it up beautifully.
20 Sep 2024 21:03:12
John, yes he is using his public platform to stir things up and discuss some things fans would not normally to privy to. The question though is his motive and that is honourable and true blue. Sometimes the end justifies the means. I greatly admire Bennet and what he has contributed and see no conflict between that position and supporting King in his current endeavour.
20 Sep 2024 22:01:11
so does no-one think it is odd that we have had the same board for the last few years and it is only now that King has decided to come out and say how bad they are. would someone who has the best interests of the club not have done that before. what is the reason for the timing. not his biggest fan obviously but timing of this seems odd.
21 Sep 2024 06:52:29
Probably more to this on both sides were not privy to Angus. No doubt it will be resolved in time, whether that's a new CEO/ Chairman or King changing anything, I don't know.
21 Sep 2024 08:05:46
Angus, timing is everything and only now with Bennet’s medical condition that the need has arisen.
21 Sep 2024 09:36:20
Bankie remembers I’m a board lover, I was with king and DL at 2015, I just see what is going on imo.
21 Sep 2024 10:41:42
John, I recognise and respect that. You’ve not commented on King’s motive.
22 Sep 2024 12:52:46
John that would be the directors if you look closely you may see them in the best seats.
22 Sep 2024 13:30:50
John do you think kings plan is to sell to the yanks and recoup his money put in? I'm no expert but investment is needed or at least idea to increase revenues otherwise kings opinion of the other mob winning titles for the foreseeable will come true and we will end up trying to stop them claiming 10 iar.
22 Sep 2024 13:36:34
John no matter if someone has 1 share or 1m allowing a vote is democracy in action the board can't ignore the fact so many fans are unhappy and what if a Gibson or wolthart came out in support of change would they be ignored.
