The intention is to rebuild Rangers."Media reports suggesting the board is looking for or contemplating a sale less than 48 hours after the takeover was completed are groundless."We want to have the chance to see Rangers rise again and the more money that can be raised collaboratively and invested, the better for the Club."We would dearly like to sit down with the representatives of the Walter Smith consortium at the earliest opportunity."As the newly constituted board we understand that there is a great deal to be done to earn the trust of Rangers supporters who have gone through a very difficult time in recent years."We are all delighted that Ally McCoist is continuing as Manager. He is undoubtedly the right man."We also understand the anxiety about new people coming to the Club and are acutely aware of the respect and affection for Walter Smith. We have the utmost respect for Walter and what he means to Rangers."All members of the new board know they are servants of the Club and what is of paramount importance at present is securing the footballing and financial future of Rangers."

pcbear 10,913 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 This Murray makes all the right noises,but we have been badly beaten recently and everything is now viewed through cynical eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Forever 179 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 They are absolutely choking for Walter to join them, they know they cannot win a PR war against Walter. There is also the possibility that they need the money that Walter's consortium are bringing to the table. After all, it was reported that Green barely managed to raise the money to buy the club, let alone provide funding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minstral 5,375 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Would be fantastic if Walter and his investors joined up, which would also stop anyone trying to rip off our club again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,247 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Im finally starting to feel a bit better. My club is alive and kicking, debt free, and moving forward. If we stand together, the skys the limit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,547 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 let alone provide funding.in all honesty should we be needing funding again, why cant we be ran within our means instead of requiring constant input of money from our owners Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Would be fantastic if Walter and his investors joined up, which would also stop anyone trying to rip off our club again.The strength that would give what already looks a strong board would be great and Walter running the Football Board ........if it was like his team selections well.....we would have enough defenders to defend the club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The current Board looks very sound to me. I trust WS, but his so called backers sounds like the Blue Knights all over again and I do not trust them. Let's see them put up good money for once and join with the current owners and really make RFC strong financially.If these people behind WS had the money why did they wait so long - when the ship was sinking - before coming forward with an offer? Even now their offer is less than Green has spent to date, including professional, legal etc., fees and expenses. Are they serious?Waiting to be convinced.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,547 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Why am I not surprised! All talk so far.McColl and Park are likely waiting for Green and his mob to spend maybe 10million on the stadium, players and whatever else, set up a deal to transfer the club share from oldco to newco in the SFA and SPL, basically do fucking everything needing to set us up for the futureThen they will sweep in with a bid that relies on us making the CL last 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
