stylishkidsriot 3 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 RANGERS' majority shareholder Craig Whyte today issued the following statement regarding changes to the board at Rangers FC:"It is a huge privilege and honour to have become the majority shareholder at Rangers Football Club.New owner Craig Whyte at Ibrox"My commitment to take the Club forward is unwavering and like all Rangers supporters I want to build on the tremendous success achieved by the team in recent years."It is not uncommon to bring fresh thinking to an organisation in an effort to deliver greater success and that is the fundamental reason that changes have been made to the composition of the Board."Further Board appointments will be announced in due course. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the suspensions of the Chief Executive and Finance Director at this time."I have been disappointed by some comments regarding the takeover made by former Board members who are clearly reluctant to embrace change."I believe most Rangers supporters understand that, as a result of the takeover, the Club's debt to the Lloyds Banking Group has been cleared and I have repeatedly stated to the Board my intentions to invest in the team."I have had discussions with Ally McCoist regarding his ambition to secure players already playing for the Club and also to bring new faces to the squad. These discussions will resume when Ally returns to Ibrox this week."These are exciting times for Rangers and the Club's supporters. This past season's achievements were truly great and I am determined to continue that success for Rangers and our supporters around the world."http://www.rangers.co.uk/articles/20110525/craig-whyte-statement_2254024_2366534?Speaking well yet again.

Dennis 1,011 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Can't be disapointed with that. Speaks well, has dignity and seems like the type of guy that doesn't take to kindly to being fucked about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocky Broon 207 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sort of half expected this in response to the AJ challenge to walk the walk.He is very publicly committed now to investment and I expect to hear about the funds being released to Ally in the next week or so or new arrivals or renewed contracts as part of his walk the walk.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I too understand that the club's debt to Lloyds Banking Group has been cleared. I'm just not sure who we owe it to now, if we do.As for player investment, we shall see what the next few weeks brings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whyte has went for the jugular from the start and wants a major cull of the board that seemed to have the intentions of ruining us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Good statement. Clearly written for Whyte by his people. But good statement nevertheless.Really ?Do you not want conformation on the debt situation or are you happy to wait and hope it is included in the shareholders information (if it is i will be happy to congratulate the man and start to reassess my opinion).

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 No doubt soon to be ripped apart by the fenian hordes who post here as Rangers supporters.The I and other mods should make it our main focus to identify said smelly tarrier hordes and rip them a new arse (internetally speaking ) before banning them to the big bad fire.Report any and all you believe to be tarrier filth.

He is boasting of clearing the debt with Lloyds but i have never seen conformation that Rangers no longer have any debt, when he says that he will get my gratitude and congratulations.

derekweir29 505 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Its obvious he wants his own team, and has forced who he didn't want on the board out.Only time will tell but i have every faith in him carrying us forward in a new era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
