legalbeagle 3,734 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Have i got this right you take the money for the fake gear, promise it will be invested eventually, they give you their money you give them useless tat that represents nothing, you say half of that's to buy shares that are not currently available and once they do that they will have no say in what happens regarding the shares.If they invested directly in the club they would be able to invest the same money which would buy double the shares and they would actually be shareholders with a voice.You are either very good salesman or your brand appeals to the idiot non thinker in our support.You know when people on here continually demand answers from people linked to the RST (or RF, or whoever is the flavour of the week) they could at least be polite to the people who give them the answers.

Fake - fake what? How are they fake? People know what they are buying, they can see the quality for themselves. If you think it's tat that's up to you but the vast majority are happy with what they are buying. I've no idea what you mean about double the shares for the same money. By the time people pay brokers fees it can be quite expensive to buy shares individually, although I have 10 of my own that cost me £40. Also, the previous company had about 12,000 individual shareholders. What voice did they have? Real Ranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Ranger 3,219 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 because they havent provided a breakdown of costs or anything, for an organisation that were part of a group that continually nit picked at any sort of a deal, set up or financial move by the club in the last 3 years, for them to simply show up, sell for a score and say a tenner is profit is laughablecan i ask, what have the RST done to earn your unwavering support? the RST have, lets just say, a chequered past with regards to their priorities when it comes to rangers or self benefit, thesins just gave you breakdown, if that doesn't satisfy you try getting touch with them.They nit picked at Green, Ahmed, Stockbridge, Somers, Lambias etc. Is that who you mean when you say the club? Apart from nit picking the shower of cunts I mentioned, defending our fans and club when being attacked by others, increasing Rangers fans shareholding in our club I can't think of anything of the top of my head that would lead me to praise them.Hope that answers your question, now can you answer one for me. Why haven't you been calling for a breakdown in costs for the official merchandise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we give people a say when they come up and buy a piece of merchandise? Be reasonable. The people get a top (or whatever) and are happy. Spookily enough, nobody buying them has asked what shares they will own as a result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will use the profits to purchase shares for the RST ( a group made up of Rangers fans ). So basically, you get a T- shirt, they get shares and Rangers get money.If you don't want to buy one of their T-shirts, don't buy one.

How much does it cost to produce an official Rangers top? Please don't tell me you haven't looked into it.I thought the RST were selling their merchandise ifrom a temporary shop inside the school, across from Ibrox.

Guest Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 What other Clubs release breakdowns of their retail deals?And i have asked people to provide proof of their figures on the retail deal,in particular fans that claim its 5p in a pound to help sell their own fake gear, when they themselves have no idea if its 5p in the pound.First its 5p in the pound and thats why we should boycott, next thing you know nobody knows what the real figure and your claiming we're wrong for not asking for them. Youre all over the place.Even if 10 quid for every 20 went into the share issue, whenever that is, the Club would make double the cash if fans didnt buy one of the rst tops and instead bought £20 worth of shares. Fact. Any real fan, unless they were only in it for themselves or their own group, would encourage fans to keep their money till the share issue or invest directly into the Club.And folk will say "but people still want to buy Rangers merch" well the RST arent selling Rangers merch, theyre selling cheap 8 quid tops for 20 quid that have fuck all to do with Rangers, its literally the same as me drawing RFC with a felt pen on a 3 quid white shirt, selling it for a tenner, marketing it as an alternative to official merch and claiming that half the cash will eventually at some unknown point in the future be exchanged for shares, not given, donated or loaned, exchanged for shares that will give myself and my group a voice with your cash.But why would anyone want to soeak for themselves when we have the RST to do our talking and thinking for us?And as usual, youll turn it around and ignore half of what gets said, and point the fugure at Ashley, claiming we back him when no one does because it suits your agenda. Kind of like another paranoid lot i know of.If people want to buy Rangers gear without going to SD then they should buy a retro kit or a top of GB, where the money goes to a good cause. If they want to invest in a share issue they should hold onto their money and buy their own shares and have their own say. Dont know why anyone who isnt an RST member would want them to buy shares with their cash instead of owning their own. And if they want a top theres plenty better real Rangers tops than the cheap lookalikes the RST sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
