Smile 26,610 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Re: Res 11 Failure Not McCoist's Fault Ally McCoist has defended himself over his failure to vote in an important resolution at last year's Rangers agm. The former Ibrox boss stressed he was not to blame for costing the Ibrox board the chance to offer new shares without first offering them to existing shareholders, including controversial Sports Direct supremo Mike Ashley. McCoist also suggested that the fact his failure to vote on Resolution 11 at November's meeting was leaked to the public was a deliberate attempt to turn fans against him. Rangers revealed that Resolution 11 was only 0.4 per cent short of the 75 per cent backing it required. Ally McCoist promotes the launch of the Ladbrokes Football show McCoist, who has a 1.25 per cent shareholding in the club, said: "I was one of the 25 per cent who never voted as I was out of the country and a lot more high-profile people at Rangers, people who are close to my heart, also never voted. "Out of the 75 per cent who voted, 26 per cent voted against resolution 11. "When Dave King (chairman) and the board were getting voted in (2015) I turned up at Ibrox to vote for that board, strongly against the advice of my lawyer who, believe it or not, wouldn't talk to me for 10 days.

TMB 14,167 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 He was out the country on holiday no doubt. Spending all that money got for being on Gardening Leave. The greedy, incompetent, deluded, self-server deserved nothing but wouldn't leave until he had taken every penny he could from this club. The guy has burned all his bridges and I for one hope he never steps foot in Ibrox again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 "It's not my fault once you ignore the fact that filling out a short form would have stopped it happening" The fans don't hate you for the vote, Ally.

George Goudie 42 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Up to him how he votes. Can see plenty of reasons why someone would object to giving the board full power to dilute their holdings. It's not like the board were out campaigning or giving assurances that they weren't going to just issue the shares to themselves. They already had power to issue shares, they just had to come to the shareholders first. Most of all, I agree with him that leaking it was a disgrace. That's without getting into the rights or wrongs of him even having the shares or the amount he gained from the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
