eosmhdo 1,879 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Supporters Update Rangers FC·THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2020·2 MINUTES The most important issue facing all of us at this time is the Covid-19 pandemic and the Board of Rangers sincerely hope all of our fans and their families are staying safe and healthy. Hopefully we will all be back supporting our team as soon as possible. However, given events of the past week, we feel we should make comment on the SPFL resolution vote. No fair minded person can take the outcome of this vote seriously. The SPFL has conducted a process which has been misleading and deeply flawed. In particular, publishing the outcome prior to all clubs having voted has undermined the democratic process and demonstrated unacceptable standards of corporate governance by the SPFL Executive. We are extremely concerned that member clubs were not provided with enough information, or time, to allow them to make fully informed decisions. Also, we are aware several club directors claimed they were being bullied at a time when Scottish football should have been acting in unity to alleviate the financial hardship of many of our clubs. Addressing the latter was one of our primary objectives and the resolution we presented could and should have been progressed. The SPFL chose to obstruct our resolution which would have given clubs the required financial support, without the pre-condition of ending the season. The fact that this solution was not afforded sufficient consideration defies belief and further underlines the view held by many clubs that the processes and behaviours of certain individuals must now be the subject of forensic examination. For our part, Douglas Park has already requested an independent investigation into the conduct of the executive. The SPFL appear to have acknowledged the need for an internal investigation - but only an independent investigation will provide satisfactory, credible answers. We repeat our call for the immediate suspension of Neil Doncaster and Rod McKenzie pending the outcome of the independent investigation. It is imperative that constructive engagement begins immediately with members to evaluate all options for completing the 2019/20 Premiership season, including on the field of play. The SPFL must allow every opportunity to do so. There is precedent within Scottish football that a league must not be compromised by changing the rules during the course of the competition. The anger of our fans is understood and shared by our Board, who continue to examine all legal options available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanVeenRangers 2,541 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It's not really anything we didn't know. I'm not sure how much evidence we have now. And can we push through an independent investigation? It doesn't look like the SPFL will accept.... so what happens? Likely a sweep sweep let's move on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerbarrel 78 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 A decent statement imo. Measured, calm and targeted with intention. I particularly like the fact the board are still examining legal options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land Rover 789 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Aye , well they know there is hee haw chance of completing the league on the field of play . Keeping the smoke screen that we want to play for the title is fair play . Getting rid of Doncaster and McKenzie would be worthwhile . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 “No fair minded person can take the outcome of this vote seriously.” Agree so if we have to adhere to this vote then how can any Rangers fans take this board seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvern 11,329 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 We let the scum take control, still dignified silence and all that. Unless we can take it to an independent enquiry then there is no point in fighting as justice in Scotland is a fucking joke. If we have nothing and they called our bluff then we are fucked.

doc holliday 1,653 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 'Rangers evidence will only go to an independent chair of a properly constituted investigation The fact that the SPFL demand to see evidence so they can pass judgement is one thing. The fact the SPFL suggest they will ‘Mark their own homework’ is another Corrupt to the core' Four lads Had A Dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc holliday 1,653 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Leaked WhatsApp messages appear to show Dundee sporting director John Nelms claiming he was threatened by Dunfermline chairman and SPFL board member Ross McArthur over the SPFL league-ending proposal vote. The leaked chat logs – from the same Twitter account which leaked information regarding Dundee’s No vote submission to the proposals – appear to show John Nelms claiming, “I am currently being threatened by Ross McArthur”. This is allegedly backed up by Inverness Caledonian Thistle chairman Ross Morrison. Rangers News/Newsnow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
