craigrfcc 265 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 RANGERS International Football Club PLC announces that Douglas Park has decided to step down from the Board and also the Board of The Rangers Football Club Ltd.Mr Park feels he cannot at this time make a full contribution to the running of the Club and Company because of other commitments.The Board thanks Mr Park for his valuable contribution which helped ensure Board room change earlier this year.Mr Park’s place on both Boards will be taken by his son, Graeme.Mr Park said: "I would like to put on record that although I held the position as Director for only a short period of time it has been an honour and a privilege to serve the Club and I will always be proud of the part I played in bringing this great institution back into the hands of those who have its best interests at heart."I am confident that going forward the Club is in good hands and will offer all my support to the Board in pursuing what is best for the Club. Rangers is hugely important to me and my family and I am delighted that Graeme is joining the Board." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To insinuate all he cares about is his bus contract, despite not knowing the ins and outs of the deal and especially in these current circumstances, is insulting to the man.

No reason to have anything against him as far as I can see Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogzy 31,195 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If he is in ill health then I totally understand. My only major problem is that parks was the guy out of them all that I trusted to act in the best interests of the club.hope he is well soon.

AlbertzLoyalRSC 18,440 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I dont usually get involved in any of the boardroom stuff.....But. If the bus deal was a good one. Then surely it could have been a good news story.As in"Parks of Hamilton have decided to provide this service to the Club at cost price/saving the Club x £ per year".....Hope im wrong, but something seems not right about it.Plus it makes the boards constitution look ridiculous. Edit. Reading he is unwell. I hope he is ok, this deal will be nothing in his overall wealth.Still feel the same tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG5 12,314 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't think that's what is being referred to by ben51That did come across as a bit of a 'wee secret that we're not letting the rest of these in on'.You got more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Would you care to enlighten us?Facts? What's the point. Too many prefer to jump to conclusions in regards to our own. Plenty know and understand Mr Parks situation and respect it, but some would rather speculate and insinuate. Even if they don't know the reasons as to why he had decided to step down he's a Rangers fan. Surely that gives him some sort of benefit of doubt?

ianferguson 2,619 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Genuinely believe (as also in Kings case) that Rangers need Parks more than he needs Rangers . The fact that his boy takes his place means there's nothing to see here and sad that no one seems safe from the critics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
