Ace 3,556 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 EVERY share holder should turn up or ensure their proxy vote has been passed to someone who will vote in a manner they themselves would ... be it for or against the board.

The Beast 9,262 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Seems a dig at those who chose to purchase their shares through the RST is actually more important.But if you did this you haven't actually purchased any shares in Rangers. That's the point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLawMan 6,240 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Because that was the condition on which the EGM was cancelled for. If it doesnt happen by then (or invites and accounts sent out 21 days prior) then they will reactivate the EGM call.Got ye. I thought you were meaning something different.

They are controlled via RST but all the money raised via the scheme was invested in the clubs IPO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 It wouldn't have appealed to me but it still gave fans an option to invest especially if money was tight but they still wanted to do their bit. These fans are also buying with no expectations of a vote or a place at the meeting so they knew what they were getting into. I don't know how they work it or have any knowledge of the RST but I would like to imagine they will have some sort of proportional voting system which will be utilised prior to the AGM.The RST have nailed their colours firmly to the Mini mast regardless of how many of the people who invested in their scheme agree or notI would be surprised if the investors were consulted Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 is it not true that when you buy into a share scheme like rst, the block vote of 12% only has one vote, might be wrong tho?As far as I know, you are wrong. As Easdale has 24% of the vote because he has 24% of the shares, the fans (with RST included) have 12% of the vote with 12% of the shares.

shankillblue1 349 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It is indeed the most important AGM in our history and the mini/McColl cabal can be buried for good for the crimes committed against our Club by them. End of! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shankillblue1 349 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I agree that this is vitally important AGM.So vital that petty squabbles should become irreverent.How about rather than looking for things the separate us, look for the things that link us i.e. The Rangers. 50k in the stadium ... 200k in Manchester, every of of us there for one reason & one reason only, the very reason we should all be at the AGM with one thought .... what's best for The Rangers.Fuck, here's me thinkin it's what's best for mini. How could I make such a mistake?!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bawsburst 1,381 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 An excellent appraisal by young McMurdo as usual.http://billmcmurdo.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/falling-short-of-the-standard/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson's cat 744 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 So, according to McMurdo, we should only vote not to re-elect existing directors if it can be shown 'beyond reasonable doubt that they are not fit for purpose'. What a lot of bollocks. I thought elections were all about choosing the candidates we prefer. Nothing more; nothing less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelightfulDennis 123 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The AGM can't come soon enough. We can only hope sufficient changes are made in the boardroom but many challenges lie ahead. Paul Murray being voted onto the board would certainly be a step in the right direction. One thing is for sure, the majority of Rangers supporters want change. We can no longer trust those in power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it must be a real nuisance to you that the club has 'real' fans like me, who are not taken in by your spin.McMurdo stated quite clearly in his blog that we should all give the Board our backing until it can be shown beyond reasonable doubt that they are not fit for purpose. Do you agree or disagree that this is the test we should apply when we cast our vote at the AGM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
