legalbeagle 3,734 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I fully agree with you here.It is unacceptable to allow people like this guy and the convicted criminal Easdale to hold a position of influence within the working of our club or supporters groups.I concur, and would hope we could all try to agree on some sort of standard of expectation of people involved in the club. I was amazed that we put the 'other' Easdale on the Board, given that past conviction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,511 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My youngest brother is a friend of SC and from what he has told me the guy is now involved in coaching kids football and has cleaned up his act.Can a guy with a drug dealing conviction pass the required checks to coach kids football????

trueblue 64 618 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There is no doubt the whole issue seems to be keeping the share price down and keeping the club destabilised. I'm hoping the end game is a complete buy out.by who ?Dave king Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Can a guy with a drug dealing conviction pass the required checks to coach kids football????He obviously has done.From what i gather he has bought a few pairs of boots for kids from poorer backgrounds and has helped out with other bits of kit.

The guy has been involved in the starting up of SOS, SOS aren't an official supporters group etc and from listening to one of them on Rangers chat it's just a group of guys against the current regime. They're not like RST or RSA and even remotely linked to the club or trying to get on the board. They're practically just trying to bring around change, wether they are correct or not his past shouldn't come into it imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's quite right they should be. Guys obviously not interested in riding them like the catholic mob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't very good at forgiving and forgetting with most people, not sure someone with that past should be playing such an active role. You are entitled to be more liberal than me about it though.

I'm not happy about the Easdales being directly involved in the club but until I see they are at it or haven't changed then they deserve a shot I suppose.I just feel the guys background is a sideshow.

Redsox1 1,361 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Dave kinguntil now Dave King has done nothing but mud sling as well. Remember the "bust by christmas " line. Well do I want someone on the board who is willing to destabilise the club by making such unfounded claims ? Also look at his past . I`d prefer someone else's money or the current board to be given a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig whyte hasn't done a days porridge so no he wouldn't be deserving of any chance.As of right now, Craig Whyte hasnt been convicted of any crime, so suerly you cannot judge him?Anyway, this guy has just published a fecking book on his thugish past and it doesnt exactly serve as a book to disuade others following in his footsteps.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Some might say, well they might say, that malcom murray seems to be involved in CF.Not me of course.From the brief glances i have had at RM the last few days it is obvious that CF is one of the minico brigade or a cheerleader of theirs, not a doubt in my mind, at first i thought CF was another RTC type obsessed bheast but every time the board release a statement or a defence from a mini attack, CF pops up within hours to put some more bullshit out there. Its way too targeted to just be a bheast its either MM is CF or MM is feeding Fakes with stolen documents photocopied just before his drunk arse was thrown out of Ibrox. Either way it shows the depraved depths minico have sunk to, to get our Club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is only a fan and SOS to my knowledge aren't looking for any board involvement, they only want boardroom change.Fuck knows why it matters if a guy who wants change has a criminal record or a world record Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
