FSM 20,892 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just reading about this also on FF, where there appears a real reluctance to slate Houston openly or even name him as the director in question. Like a bunch of frightened weans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not principled enough to take any kind of stand against him (asking for resignation or resigning themselves), are they on board with him running the show?

Club 1872 was always doomed to disaster, I refused to join that or any other '' Fan group' when my late gran and papas contributions to the RFFF all disappeared and there donations to the club never got there. Time to go back to being a RANGERS SUPPORT, we never needed fan groups for over 100 years and dont need them now ! Absolutely spot on @Dunny_01. You know something absolutely stinks when your hard earned doesn't even reach its intended destination. You also know something is hoaching when good Rangers men like D'Art are having to stand down from fan rep because of the actions of a person who cares for none but himself. The whole thing fucking stinks. The sooner this guy is hounded out of our club the better, he'll never represent me as a fan of Rangers Football Club. thebooler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 This is why i wouldn't invest a penny in 72. As soon as RF became the body with the largest membership then certain people seen the importance of combining the fans groups as a way of taking control. The poster who said "if you put 3 Rangers fans on a desert island within a week you would have 4 organizations" summed it up perfectly. As for CH, the guy should be nowhere near our club. Someone with his background would be out the door quicker than Chris Graham once his past was delved into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only ask as to WTF have we become?! I actually thought he was in cahoots with Mini; although to be honest I am too far away to know the full circumstances. As to your second point.....I would suggest we are being treated as Mushrooms at the moment from the top to the bottom. cstamomusa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley 1,398 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Surely he just resigns in a blaze of positive spin gets the job and his 30 pieces of silver. Then instead of controlling 1872 from within , he controls it from "without". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 have resigned as a point of principle, not because they have been marginalised or had no 'power'. Esk, I'm assuming that the 'other three' board members had no issues with what Houston was doing, hence why he wasn't asked to resign and the resignations of the three were accepted?

The organisation is ill founded and well compromised with COI and as Eskbank stated, it's now Whitney's. The "independent" fan group that is not independent, is lost to the control of charletons. It is dead to those of integrity and alive and well to the trough guzzlers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tannerall 25,935 Posted March 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 Two kinds of Rangers men these days, those who put their money and trust in, and those who take it away. Too many charlatans taking advantage of the club and it's fans for their own ends seems to be the only constant of the last 5 years. jimgers, Bears r us, Goggs and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just for the record... As long as a direct debit is cancelled by you, you can easily reinstate it at any time, either via online banking, on your banking app, or over the phone, with no fuss. So if you're not 100% sure what to do yet, you can turn it on, off, on, off, on, off as much as you want, until you've made your final decision. calio 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Guido said: Thought about stopping my direct debit, but where do we go then? We still haven't got rid of Mike Ashley and building up a fan share in the club seems a wise move for our future security. How about we use our collective disgust to change the Club 1872 Board at the first opportunity? You don't just get rid of him, though. He's got shares - anyone could/can buy shares. We've served notice on the retail deal he has - what else can be done? Fan ownership will never work with us. How many times do we need to go down this route before it sinks in with people. I'd stop the direct debit if I was you. Save your money. Corky True Legend 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what he's done for 5 years nearly. Anyone criticises him and suddenly 2 or 3 people pop up accusing you of impropriety. He done it to me on FB.
