Its Time for them at the Top to Walk Away

• Rangers fans protest against the current regime at Ibrox

  It’s a similar scenario up at Ibrox, where Rangers fans may at last be about to put on a unified front.
  Honestly, this might be the board’s only notable achievement, to unite and energise a support which in parts is riddled with political splits and in others, is too full of apathy to be bothered making a fuss.
  Like Johnston, the men in charge at Ibrox have taken to turning their guns on their own fans. Lawyers letters and police complaints seem to be the new weapons of choice for chief executive Craig Mather as this turmoil rages.
  If Mather thinks intimidating his club’s supporters is a good idea ahead of next month’s agm, he’s dimmer than his brylcreemed locks make him look.
  These bully-boy tactics may even have helped raise the temperature in the stands on Saturday, when many thousands joined in protests organised by a group called the Sons of Struth and loudly demanded the board be sacked.
  It could be that Mather is still trying to work out the significance of the timing of the chanting – the fans opened fire after 18 and 72 minutes of the 8-0 win over Stenhousemuir – but, if he’s stuck, he only needs to ask one of his many highly-paid spin doctors. One of them is bound to know, right?
  Hold on though. Let’s think this one through as there’s fresh evidence to suggest whoever is giving this board its advice, and dishing out the ammo, may not always be armed with the facts.
  Look, it can’t be easy to defend the indefensible but it would seem unwise to be caught being economical with the truth. Wouldn’t it?
  Last Monday the Rangers board issued a statement castigating the BBC for “inaccurate reports” suggesting an issue had arisen between the club and Companies House, following the recent filing of an Annual Return.
  The statement went on to state very robustly that: “Companies House has not raised any issues or questions with them in relation to the Annual Return,’ before stressing again that: “Companies House have confirmed to the Company that they have accepted and filed the Annual Return for Rangers Football Club Limited and have not raised any queries in relation to it.”

  And so it went on: “Indeed, it was confirmed by Companies House to Rangers’ lawyers that the Annual Return has been accepted for filing and that Companies House had not contacted and did not expect to be contacting the Company in relation to the Annual Return.”
  It’s all fairly unambiguous. Nothing to see here. No issues. No discussions. No questions. No problem. Got it?
  And yet, in the past few days I’ve received emails from Companies House which appear to suggest something very different.
  After asking for clarification of their position, Companies House responded with the following: “When we receive a complaint or query relating to company filings these are passed to the relevant department in Companies House to pursue.
  “This normally consists of writing to the company outlining the concern and asking them to clarify whether the complaint is justified.
  “If so, they will be asked to submit amended documentation at the earliest opportunity.”
  All of which seemed a little bit vague. So I tried again.
  And this is what came back: “Our correspondence with the company is still ongoing and so at this stage we have nothing further to add.”
  Wait a minute. Still ongoing? How can something be still ongoing if it never started in the first place?
  Just who are we expected to believe?
  The truth is almost always the first casualty of any war. But seldom the only one.

And get who in, that is the question.

[Carsons Dog 9,878]

So the complaints to the ASA failed and now it's complaints to companies house?

The thing is - who complained?

It's difficult to tell the difference between the enemies within and the enemies without at the moment

[Poetry_In_Blue 1,043]

Not another one of these shitty threads, really getting fucking sick of it, I remember the good old days when you used to be able to come onto this forum to talk about football, those days were fun. Just more political crap of one group playing against the other.

Your right Swally............

[Jimfanciesthedude 25,641]

Wait and see how many posts this thing gets

Getting in before Bawsburst posted it with his usual twist on things..............

[cushynumber 25,178]

I would have though complains and queries with regard to our accounts will be standard practise for the great unwashed so i am not really surprised there. I think the due process around the accounts will be followed - its there content and how its interpreted thats the issue.

This articles pretty poor fare really - a couple of personal digs at Mather ( his hair seems to be a bugbear of Jacksons) and some innuendo re the accounts being posted with absolutely no answers or alternatives forthcoming.

[DAVIE8CH 296]

see when he got to a unified support I realised it was pish. Jackson getting fed from mini again.

[allgers 735]

Keith Jackson is not stirring the mix for our benifite.

[BarrhillLoyal 32]

Don't have any time for Jackson and, to be honest don't give a monkeys on who raised any query.

However if the last part of the article is true we are being shat on again by the club.

What I find really hard to take is that if the filing was not 100% clean the club could have just shut up and made no comment.

However they chose to take the route they did even going to the extent of saying we had taken legal guidance and all was well.

If that's. The case I expect another statement ( we seem to be good at issuing statements) telling the world we are just about to sue the arse off the Daily Rhebel.

Yon know what though? I don't think the Board will be able to do that.

Something stinks here and the club need to clarify this matter today.

The way they seem to go about things seems to be straight out of the Craig whyte school of bullshit. Query the board and letters galore along with threats of people being used will go out, but in truth they have fuck all intention of doing or sopping anyone

"Rangers fans"???

No, it was a small set of supporter groups.

Stop labelling every Rangers fan as having the same view as these annoying fucking groups.

They're still Rangers fans. There were thousands singing sack the board on Saturday.

Yes but you have to admit, this article makes it look like every Rangers fan shares the same opinion as them.

[RM Monitor And Standards Officer 112,972]

Most are coming round to that way Rino! First couple of games these chants where at was only a minority! Its growing and growing and growing!

They'll be gone soon anyway and the chants will stop and hopefully we can get back to the football on here

i wasn't there but what percentage of fans would you reckon were singing?

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

No idea. I was in the broomloan and most were in there.

I wasn't singing this btw, just pointing out that it wasn't the minority some are making it out to be.

Still only a small minority. Most people have the brains to wait for the accounts to be shown first. and how daft are you really to think "They'll be gone soon anyway and the chants will stop ". If Mini gets in there will be plenty more chants of " sack the board ".

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

How long before Bawsburst appears saying we are just "mouthy pricks"?

I'm certain this cunt is well connected to these clowns on the Rangers board.

[Redsox1 1,361]

Ok it was a tiny minority.
