simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 All so predictably quick to criticise. I could have guessed the posters without reading the thread.Are the losses acceptable?Not really but there's more to it than simply blaming the big bad Spivs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmed is gone. Stockbrigde is gone.Who else took shares at on obscenely low price. Who else took an obscenely over inflated salary.I wonder.

A very wise person once told me two rights don't make a wrong. Good advice when trying to debate on here. Is McCoist having penny shares some sort of sadistic justification for what has happened to us in the last 24 months? Does it make you feel better?Although there's a difference between being given and taking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgoalie 637 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Bit late for that pish when those that have filled their pockets have fucked off.Correct,twice bitten thrice shy..should be our new motto......there is no point in regurgatating our boardroom shenanigins.......Wallace will get the job done......

bawsburst 1,381 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A bus driver does the same job as a jumbo jet pilot he transports passengers, but doesn't get the Hollywood wages, Rangers players and coaches are doing the same job as premier league players and coaches in a pub league, difference is they are getting the Hollywood wages.

No biggie I'm annoyed at the pay offs and wasted wages on the football side of things that McCoist is responsible for and I never liked the 100% bonus scheme that M.M set up either But Stockbridge gave that back This is another anti board rant from Rae someone who has talked utter shite about us in recent past but yet is still happy to take gigs, hand outs and freebies from the club - he's got a fuckin cheek Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as a result find ourselves trying to cuts costs, 24 months after a clean slate, and people still try to justify it...seriously.Of course all of us whiter than white, purer than the driven snow would have refused any offer of penny share options in our contracts...I'm guilty I took the offer when my company gave them to me Anyway finished my bottle if wine going to bed.You guys continue to attack the real enemy within.

Does it make you feel better?Although there's a difference between being given and taking.No its not any kind of justification.I just enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy of people who decry the previous board members but won't touch the subject of Ally and his shenanigans with a ten foot barge pole.Robbed blind, to coin a phrase, is robbed blind. Regardless of who has done it to you.And I would argue in the circumstance we were in and the status of said parties at our club, that giving and receiving had barely any difference between them.Would you have taken the shares and/or the salary a matter of months after the club suffered an admin event and had its earning potential severely limited by demotion to the lowest division in the game?

As a supporter of course.No hypocrisy here my point is and will always be the losses are unacceptable. I don't care who is to blame.You can argue all you like wether or not McCoist should have taken his salary, it changes nothing with regards the gross financial mis management of our club.Any CEO worth his salt would have immediately cut his salary after 12 months or sacked him. No one is more important than the club. Your point is ridiculous you are some how trying to justify gross financial mismanagement by suggesting it's allOk because McCoist was complicit.

Your point is ridiculous you are some how trying to justify gross financial mismanagement by suggesting it's allOk because McCoist was complicit.Except its not my point at all. The first sentence gives it away. There is no justification for it at all. The problem you are having it seems is that you dont see that its a culture amongst our support to apply morality or ethical standards only to people they dont like. How is any mismanagement of the club to be avoided if this is the case?Now do me a favor. Reply to what I've typed, not what you interpret it as, but what is actually written. Its plain English.

Its plain English.It's mis management. The rest is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. The directors are responsible for that. To suggest otherwise is completely ridiculous.Am I disappointed McCoist as a super duper Rangers man didn't forgoe his salary forvever and donate his shares to RM?
