thebooler 4,509 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Was there anything actually decided upon at this meeting regards the direction club1872 takes now? Will the Directors who resigned be allowed back, if they wish to do so? If not, how and when will they be replaced? Wasn't this the reason for the meeting?

No 99% no - there was a small offer of mediation but it's never going to happen still no clearer there wasn't a single action point to come out of the meeting. It was utterly pointless. rbr and thebooler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post onefootwillie 1,519 Posted April 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2017 I was at the meeting last night but left before the end as I was not feeling well ( the meeting did not help ) .While I have admiration for anyone who will stand for election ,work free for the support and take the stick that inevitable comes with it , this was a shambles. The resignations could easily avoided if Mr Houston had listened to the advice offered by fellow directors and just stood aside from working on anything where he dealt with Rangers until he was discounted or got the job. I asked him if he would do things differently and never got a clear answer. Generally the whole thing is disorganised. There is no direction- you have no chairman to control things . There is a huge amount of work to be done to get this organised and in reality money must be spent . Certainly next year at least 10% of income might be needed as a one off to get the infrastructure in place. One person who attended a fans group meeting for Scottish clubs said help with this type of thing was available. He also stated we were just about the only club whose fans group had no representation at this meeting. The union guy who spoke about accountability made some very good points. There are obviously some very good people out there with talent but unfortunately are not involved. The most disappointing thing was the remaining members of the board just could/ would not see the importance of proper corporate conduct and how this is perceived by the support,especially after all we have been through. Very depressing it can only change at the next election but I have my doubts that this will happen. Mr Houston for me is not a team player and would be better using his skills in other areas than being on the board of Club 1872 . The 3 directors who resigned I feel will be a great loss and struck me as being hardworking team players . I personally am not sure what to do , stop paying each month or keep at it and vote when the elections come up next BareGrills, Bobby Hume, rbr and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 15,284 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 For too long now our club has attracted the self serving and the needy. Line up mongrals, charlatans, knuckle draggers, theives and fantasists - we have had them all. I really wish it would stop and wish I could get over the feeling of helplessness in order to get off my own arse and do something Onefootwullie's post is sad but not surprising.

All that I have said regarding competence, governance and COI, has sadly come to fruition. There are those naive who cannot see. There are those so arrogant they refuse to see. and there are those with the agenda who see all and give not one fuck. This train is heading in only one direction and no one is stopping it, nor capable to do so. Welcome to the planet king. Allanger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your suggestion probably isn't workable but suggesting that an election is held, for all 7 positions, ASAP is absolutely not off the cards. thebooler, RFC Eagle, rbr and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Eskbank would take this up. I think the 4 of them with a couple of others would make outstanding representatives for the fans. They all appear to be above reproach and from their posts its obvious that D'Art and Eskbanks only interest is Rangers and the fans. From their actions I assume the same of Laura and Joanna (I don't really know too much about either tbh). Its bordering on criminal that we have those 4 clowns at the helm of C1872 with so many decent people in the fanbase.
