thehost 11,061 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 When is the SVL statement on "the shambles the club is in" being issued? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land Rover 789 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Good statement , get right into them . Obviously we are going to get some retaliation . The fact club 1872 are or were down to one director is giving the haters a bit of an open goal We will need to be prepared to follow that retaliation up . A don't buy the Record campaign would suit me fine . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWR1979 1,964 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Good statement should be the first of many,  It shouldn't be left down to Club1872 to make these statements the board need to be fighting back against the negative press which is constant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure guarantor is the correct terminology but he is the sole 'member' of the CIC. However, a special resolution was passed that any amendments to the articles, any AGM/EGM votes regarding RIFC & and key decisions must be taken by members - defined as life members and those who are donating to it. That's what happened regarding Joanne & Laura. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_dynamite 57 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Whilst I agree with the sentiment it's clutching @ straws for me, pointless statement from a pointless, toothless organisation trying to remain relevant. How many fans will actually see it? 10%, 20%? If anyone, the club should be releasing these sort of statements for maximum coverage & impact on those "journalists"(cough cough) mentioned. Fan ownership/proper representation is a pipe dream for a club our size in Scotland as has been proven time & time again. Bottom line is as long as we perform on the pitch none of this shit matters to your average fan, I think most of us already know where we stand with the media currently but I think we also know that once we get back to winning their stance has to & will change as that's what they do & always have. I don't want us to become "professional victims" like the bheasts have been for years...poor us? Fuck that! just makes it an even bigger GIRFUY when the tide turns as it inevitably will. Disband this waste of space/time/effort/money before it ultimately, embarrassingly collapses again in full public view much to the amusement of our detractors AGAIN. Oh & who the f... are SVL? just another entity to confuse the everyday Rangers fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 If you ever wonder why our club is in such a mess this thread provides ample evidence. We seem to have greater enthusiasm for attacking our own rather than the biased, hate filled and agenda led media which gave rise to this statement from Club 1872, supporting our manager.

The could do with being a bit faster off the mark though.  The media comment horses have been parading round the newspapers, tv news and internet for a while now but only now can some sort of comment be offered by 1872.  Feels a bit late (but better late than never). Feels a bit like they have to say something (eventually) because saying nothing looks like they don't really care......which was how it was coming over to me when the recent media shitstorm was spraying dark stuff all over the papers and airwaves.  The impression being created is its taking 1872 2 hours to watch 60 minutes.  Maybe one day they'll get sharper, faster and smarter. Sorry, but that's the impression they are giving to me.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Club 1872 had to do something positive for a change. This statement is that something. They're still a shambles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have, imo, a very long way to go to create any sort of credibility of substance. When it was launched the gates were down and the lights were flashing but the 1872 train has stalled at the starting blocks.    Feels to me like some sort of a re-launch would be needed if it is going to try to recover from what seems to me to be a very low base of confidence in what it is trying to do and how it is run.  That'd take very skilled and capable leadership.         Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the independent  C1872 is not a mess? Down to one director last week . Those who operate in the shadow of C1872 and for that matter the RFC board are specialists at attacking anyone who gets in the way of their agenda. Lets not start on the performance of the club directors since King took control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
