That is almost like a Spiers comment.

She was the only show in town as was Romanov and before that Robinson who only had one other contender (Jim Glass who was a Hibby). Don't know who competed with FTB

Wasn't just Jim Glass. He was part of a Harry's Bar consortium who cynics may have said were just pushing the price up for FTB

Will dodgy Dave even meet the legendary SPFL fit and proper person test?

It's an SFA test, which Paul Murray will struggle to pass, as he was on the Board of the Oldco.

King et al know all that, which makes me wonder why they're doing it.

that depends on the content of that next announcement ,and wonder what the time line is .The word Shortly is a strange choice as that suggests imminently .
Wonder if there are plans afoot to up the protests and boycott next home game and put pressure on Easdales and others who have been prepared to prop them up that the tide has turned and this is a power struggle they can't win so let's sit down and thrash out a deal .
Or whether they have just noticed the clause that says they need to be fit and proper to be Directors and realise the criteria may not apply allegedley re King .
What would the cost of holding one of these general meetings ( note the word extraordinary isn't in there ).imagine it's not much in comparison to what else is going to have to be forked outb.
No seat proposed for any of the three Bears iether .
No point in speculating I suppose
as the next statement will maybe give us more of an indication what's going on .

Rangers are an Aims listed company now. A whole new set of rules that can't be fudged.

SFA/SPFL also beefed up their fit and proper person rules after Craig Whyte, but these rules can be fudged or just ignored if required.

I think they have to be seen to be going through the procedures before they come to the obvious conclusion.

Ah yes, the "derogation" escape clause for big clubs

So take out one lot of gorged, self centred, incompetant egomaniacs and swap em for another lot of self centered egomaniacs which includes one person who has already been proven to be incompetant at boardroom level with Rangers, how does this rate as things getting better?! Lol

Here's the SFA report on Whyte, Bain and SDM's claim of being "duped". I wonder who the "other board members" were

They just aren't called Extraordinary General Meetings any more. The Companies Act 2006 now refers just to Annual General Meetings and General Meetings.

I've been to EGMs. Just not recently.

It was 2 years ago I was at one

You would have thought the SFA would have got their dates right. It states that Whyte was the 'mind' of Rangers from 2001. ?????

Dave King is barred from being a director twice over - he's a convict, and he was on the Board last time Rangers went bust. He also failed to raise concerns about Whyte (which he was obliged to do) despite the Rangers chairman signalling the alarm when he realised Whyte had no funds to back up his claims.

Neither King nor Paul Murray can be accepted as a Director as they were Directors of a member club in an insolvency event within the last 5 years.

Oh dear, its still all about investing to improve the squad.

They could try utilising the second biggest budget (by a mile) in Scotland a wee bit better?

There is no danger Rangers are going to challenge for promotion.

I firmly believe Hibs will finish second and if Rangers get past QoS/Falkirk we'll rip them apart in the play offs. Look rationally at it, consider the previous results and the fact that we have momentum behind us and they have a squad loaded with aging past it players who'll be out of contract and no chance they'll get a new one.

For Rangers it'll be another year in the championship and at least the chance to rebuild in the summer with a younger cheaper squad. If they do it right they'll go up in 2016.

Rangers are the original credit junkies. It doesn't matter how many times and how badly it blows up in their faces they just can't get enough of getting out the credit card and loan agreements.

I would be really worried about anyone having to play the new team in a playoff. Certain people at the top are desperate to see them in the top league, plus you have the refs. to help them.

Will be hard for them to lop off all eight of our goals in the away leg ;-)

I'm sure the likes of Doncaster,Regan & Lawell are desperate for Rangers to be back up so they can start flogging brand OldFirm again but the team simply isn't equipped to handle the play offs. Their team is old, full of disinterested has been players seeing out their contracts and there's a total lack of pace

Hibs will tear them apart and there's nothing the footballing establishment can do about that.
