BigDak 798 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I was reading an article about the above and it's the first time I've noticed that the board for the SPFL was made up of representatives from the Tims, the sheep worriers, Dundee HIVs and a man from Alloa named Mulraney.FFS, I can see this is going to be an impartial board as far as we're concerned.You couldn't make this stuff up.

Jonok 1,245 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 http://www.ibroxnois...ith-least.html? Biggest Club in Scotland With the Least InfluenceWhat do the following men have in common:Eric Drysdale, Ken Ferguson, Stephen Thompson, Neil Doncaster, Ralph Topping, Eric Riley, Duncan Fraser and Mike Mulraney.First off you probably have not heard of half of them. Secondly, they are the SPFL’s board, which is made up of representation from each league in the SPFL, from League 2 all the way through to the Premiership. Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Raith Rovers and even Alloa Athletic have influence at a national level.Notice the glaring omission?On Monday the SPFL announced the latest election results, where Raith Rovers’ Drysdale and Brechin’s Ken Ferguson were elected onto its board to replace Bill Darroch and Les Grey of Stenhousemuir and Hamilton respectively.These elections are carried out by member clubs of the SPFL, and the elephant in the room is the fact that once again Scotland’s biggest club is overlooked by its peers and the game in general north of the border and discounted from having any influence where it counts.Rangers have zero representation in Scotland outside the Rangers boardroom itself.This situation remains an absolute joke, especially given Rangers’ size financially supports its peers. Rangers fans buying thousands of tickets at tiny grounds, the Club being blackmailed into giving up its TV rights to the SPL back in the day.Scottish clubs still make a fortune off Rangers yet continue to beat the Club into submission every chance they get.On Tuesday AM Rangers played the latest leg of their North American tour v Canadian outfit Victoria Highlanders. Here is the advert for it:If Rangers got a fifth of the respect in Scotland they get outside Scotland, the Club would not be ignored at national level nor would the appalling illegal events of the past two years have happened to them.But yet here we are, languishing in a league we should not be in, having lost our entire first team, all for nothing. And yet, despite all the sparring among fans, Ibrox boardroom chaos and disagreements about the way the Club should be run, any other club would have crumpled.But we are still here. And nothing any of you lot try will get rid of us.We are here to stay WATP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,333 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Did anyone from Rangers apply for the position?Before everyone starts going bonkers about this we should find out if our club actually applied for a position on the board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDak 798 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Did anyone from Rangers apply for the position?Before everyone starts going bonkers about this we should find out if our club actually applied for a position on the board.I'm not so much concerned about there not being a Rangers rep on the board as I am that everyone, or almost everyone, on the board could be accused of having an anti-Rangers stance, or at least not being amiable towards the club.

The Educator 1,572 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just a passing thought, but could they be starting to bring like minded men in to compensate for the possibility that any official from c****c will have to step down due to an investigation into illegal state aid? After all considering that these groups may have to bring action against c****c in the future they wouldn't want to run the risk of independent thinkers on there who might just see fit to issue the same punishments on them that they had looked to issue to Rangers.
