wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Wallace essentially is working for the easdales/Laxey, so if there is bad news at the end of it do you expect to hear the full blooded truth about the state of affairs? Do you not think he will be more likely to give a diluted version of events if it is likely to harm the current boards position Having to get a loan of 1.5 mil at this stage is worrying IMO and the clubs biggest investor getting a 15% mark up on the loan and demanding the Albion car park be put against it as security is even more worrying I think some are expecting wallace to come out with a genius formula in a few months and everything will be fine, I don't. I reckon things are worse than we are lead to believe, we will be ok this summer as fans will bail out board again, but come maybe Xmas the shit will hit the fan. Worrying times ahead IMOthoughts??

blue No11 235 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think Wallace will be told to keep his trap shut about how bad it is and then he will do the off as he won't be allowed to implement his plans as laxey and co will say... "What do you mean you want fcukin money"... Fuck knows im sick of it all now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So you blue no11 are saying is no matter what is said or done when the review is over Wallace is a spiv puppet and you wont believe anything he says? Nice to see you are giving the new board a chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammyfraserrfc 5 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am expecting eff all as basically a competent CEO who has total control over running the club/business does not need 120 days to identify the changes required either to cut costs or run things more efficiently.

I can run a full financial review of my business in 7 days. So I would expect the company side of Rangers to carry it out in 30-60 days max.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 A scripted statement from the board will be given to him to read out then he will be off in the summer with a decent fee. To be clear I AM NOT questioning Wallace's integrity but I just think he was only brought into by pull the wool over our eyes by the board and buy them time and minimise the fallout about this loan we have had to take Dave king has certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons with this statement and I hope people sit up and listen He clearly has tried to negotiate with the current board and they are not interested in the future of rangers, only milking the club for our cashHopefully king's campaign will gather pace and we can get some sort of order resorted at rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,841 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I believe nothing will happen and I also think Wallace will walk in all honesty, well maybe bph will write that 50 million pound cheque Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club is playing second fiddle to money rats. But at the same time it is in there interest to keep the club healthy in order to get a return on there investment.

Far too many vultures for my liking.If laxey were confident about the future of the club then why would they need to secure the Albion car park against £1mil loan? We don't even know who these people are FFS! Get these faceless leaching investors to fuck out of the club I understand king rightly doesn't want to give them a penny, but if he wants a real say in rangers then he will have to put his hand in his pocket at some point Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'll be shocked if Wallace sees out the 60 days left tbh..I don't think he'll want anything to do with the bunfight that's on horizon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysblue 709 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Someone touched on it above. Wallace is an employee of the club - nothing more. He also has his credibility to protect. If his reputation is in any danger of being damaged, he will walk.Kings statement has put the cat amongst the pigeons. The first shot I think in trying to gain control of the club. The present incumbants are dependant on the FANS buying season tickets. That is NO LONGER guaranteed. How anyone on here can support the present board is beyond my comprehension.

rangersfc77 170 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I believe at the end of the review immediately there will have to be some ridding of unnecessary expenses in order for financial sustainability. I think DK seems to be a constant pain but the one point i agree with him completely on is that we will need some sort of investor like him who is willingly to put up money for investment in the team and who is willingly to make it long term if we are to come back out on top Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue No11 235 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I personally think this is going to get really messy. This is Kings first move on getting the vultures out of Ibrox. King ain't going to back down until he gets what he wants. I personally think he is doing it for the right reasons but he is gonna piss a lot of people off in the process. All we can do is keep singing at the games and support our football team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
