nvager 498 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Easdales bought 1m or 2m shares recently and declared they have a good majority to win any battle on Tuesday night. In the meantime Laxley Associates have bought up 1m more shares at least and are against the current board. In my mind that means an all out war and an EGM.I hoped that would be avoided, but for now it seems that the EGM will take place.That may be a good thing if facts are brought to light and audited accounts made public, but somehow I look to see nothing but squabbles.Sad, but It may be a bloodbath and will Rangers win?Let's put Rangers first. Let's come to a sensible agreement and establish a board that is strong yet is aware of the necessities of following Rangers and improving the quality of fan support.A board that puts Rangers first an not any individual.A board that runs us ethically and profitably without regard for anyone but the fans.

Gerwelly 115 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Aye, this has gone on way too long and needs to brought to a head sooner rather than later. If going to an EGM will do this then maybe that's what's required to happen. It may be a painful process but it will be worth it if it gives the transparency that we all want.At the moment I just want what's best for Rangers and with all the shit flinging that's going on I don't have a clue who I want in the Boardroom (Frank Blin sounds good though) but I do know I want it to end. From what little I understand the EGM could do that and let's see who's still standing once the truth comes out.So lets hang in there cause together we are stronger!

North Rd 2,860 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I can't see it going to a EGM now, with all the corporate investors now calling for a change in the Boardroom, IMO it will happen, no way can Rangers afford for all these investors to walk away from The Club, there maybe a lot of noise, but to me, it's all change now.

don logan 8,077 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Doesn't really make a jot of difference as to the outcome of any EGM that the Easdales have increased their shareholding. They've bought from IA who was aligned to the Green camp anyway so this doesn't increase the numbers in favour of the current board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Dodgy bastards out = dodgy bastards in. EGM is pointless, it's not going to give us "stability". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Could all this share activity just be a rouse to increase the share price?Maybe it's been orchestrated for that very reason and Green wants out, but he's like to get as much as he can before he goes.Cynical bastard, I know, but it's not unheard of.

North Rd 2,860 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ed,I can't honestly cant see past the business investors mate, the talk was they would walk away if the current board isn't changed, no money for investing in the future, I can't see where the Easdales are going to get the money to run us from, we need credit, which we don't have at the moment, if the London etc business investors walk away, where do we get the cash/ credit to keep us going till next seasons season ticket sale?

tbblue 167 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The key figure here is Frank Blin, and the real reason they haven't given in to the requisition is that they know that his appointment will shine a light on some quizzical accounting and begin the end for the vultures and start the beginning of our real recovery!

" I've had no contact. But then I've not seen any official notification that a General Meeting will be convened and until that happens - if it happens - then no need for that type of contact right now.Still wonder if a deal might be done to avoid a GM - perhaps on the back of publishing the accounts which would form a far more solid and informed basis for decision taking than a lot of the concjecture and agenda-leaning stuff that comes out from the so-called leading people / groups at present.
