Leeds_Bear 8,288 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't know who you think my "buddies" are to be honest. No you are still a true Rangers fan if you disagree with me, it's my opinion in the article and if you don't agree that is fair enough.What are you trying to achieve?

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The recently appointed CEO, Graham Wallace, is the only member of the board who fans were unanimously happy about being re-elected.How is that conclusion arrived at ? Based on those attending the AGM ? Was a survey done on exit - or is this based purely on speculation ?There are two options for the fans. The first option is to sit back and watch. The second is for the fans to step up and fight for what they want. The most viable option is to boycott.How about the fans respect the democratic process and give the board the 120 days they asked for to earn that trust ? How about those who pledged to respect the vote of the AGM stick to their word ? How about as per Jim McColl's suggestion we give the new appointees the opportunity to prove themselves ?What is "viable" about starving the club so that those malcontented with the democratic process get their way ? What damage will such action do to the prospect of long term investment - if the rule of law is replaced by the rule of mob ?The players deserve the fans support, Ally McCoist deserves the fans support, but do the board? Not a chance.The remnants of that board appear to have appointed a CEO who has the respect of even those in the requisitioner camp - so why do they not deserve a chance ?

The last two I can answer as one, they've had their chance. Brian Stockbridge has been there how long? And seen how much money lost? I can't back him, and I'm disappointed that so many can sit back and watch him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a read and share please. All opinions welcome as I'm sure plenty won't agree with it.Too many suppositions. And I am still not quite sure of the point, if you succeed you will drive the club back into administration and believe it or not Paul Murray will talk a lot and still fail to take control.Do you know the implications of a boycott? The implications of putting us back into administration or do you just enjoy playing Rangers monopoly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brigtonboy 20 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 "Despite the wishes of the majority of Rangers fans"?How do you know what the majority of Rangers fans wish. I was at the game when the red card protest took place. At least as many refused to take part as actually did,so far as I could see. It's the wishes of the mhedia and a few fans reps who represent a minority your spouting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty agreed with me and some disagreed. I knew a lot would disagree and completely respect that, I just don't appreciate being called a taig or a Celtic fan to be honest.

tannerall 25,935 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The Dundee United experience last season proved that any boycott (no matter how well intended) only tends to split the fans further.(At the time I thought that boycott was correct, as it appeared to be one of the few weapons we could fight back with, but in hindsight it shows that boycotts tend to have too much of a negative effect) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Absolutely pathetic!
