damien1 29 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Sorry but as this debate would show I dont believe it wouldFrom your previous post that plans 'are' in place are you telling us that you are privvy to McColl/Murray's plan?And if so then why are the majority of fans being excluded and why are a select few being involved?I ask this because it is clear it's causing division and if McColl has a plan then surely it'd be better for him to get all sections of the support involved to gain him support.By not doing this it is promoting the idea that the 'select few' have been promised something.

No one has said a select few are involvedeverything Rangers at the moment would cause division if the Queen bought us some would complain.some have concluded the select few attitude but could they simply not have a differing opinion formed like those who want the status quo?

Adoniram 1,919 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Here's a novel idea. Why don't all these groups work together and put Rangers on a different level instead of all wanting their bit of the pie.Mind you at least certain parties have bought their share and aren't looking for scraps to feed on.

Who told you?Why not get the majority involved when you know you could possibly get their backing and make the job easier?Personally I'm quite happy with the status quo, biggest failing I see however is our wage structure which needs addressed. But, if a better alternative comes along I am willing to listen to what they have to say. The unwillingness of putting out what they have to say concerns me.Would you vote for a political party without knowing its policies? Of course you wouldn't.

Which on the face of it just now is basically, trust us we're Rangers men so we'll be true to our word. And as a poster above pointed out Craig Whyte said he was a Rangers man.On the face of it all I think Rangers fans should be forgetting all about the boardroom malarky and start getting behind the team with as much energy as they spend on the boardroom. Too many amateur accountants and boardroom directors talking nonsense and spreading falsehoods if you ask me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want to shell out, wants to get Rangers on the sly, wants to use investors money and we are being asked to trust this guy?

McColl has no real vote on the board, he needs to find votes no matter who he finds to invest. He needs the fans vote and other investors votes. If he gets other investors votes to bring in other investors then surely their shares are going to be diluted. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Unless these investors are willing to sell to McColl's investors then the only ally he really has is the fans, to which he isn't doing a good job so far to curry favour with them.

damien1 29 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I totally agree, but that wasnt your question was it?It wasn't. The real question is do we trust someone based on assumptions of things. It appears that some sections of the fan-base are quite happy to do this. On what basis are they willing to do this?

I answered why I thought there was a plan.If they need the fans vote they will make it public. Guys like that don't do their business via the tabloids.
