Rangers: Board of directors wins votes to stay in place

By Alasdair Lamont
Senior football reporter, BBC Scotland
The current Rangers board has won enough support to remain in place, BBC Scotland has learned.
Figures of proxy votes cast on behalf of shareholders indicate chairman David Somers, chief executive Graham Wallace and three directors will be re-elected.
And nominees including former chairman Malcolm Murray do not have enough votes to join the board.
The bitter battle for control has been building towards Thursday's annual general meeting.
In recent months, the club has appointed Somers , Wallace and non-executive director Norman Crighton to join finance director Brian Stockbridge and James Easdale on its plc board.
Shareholders Malcolm Murray , former Rangers director Paul Murray, Scott Murdoch and Alex Wilson have been seeking election to the board.
Indeed, the Murrays, Murdoch and Wilson won a court decision to have their nominations added to the AGM agenda, resulting in the meeting being delayed until 19 December.
After that verdict at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, Paul Murray called on Stockbridge and then chief executive Craig Mather to resign.
Mather did resign but Stockbridge has been backed by chairman Somers.
The club reported a £14m operating loss for the 13 months to June after around £22m was raised in a share issue late last year.

Lamont tends to get his information from the Easdales, hardly the most reputable source.

I'm not positive about it since I think the requisitioners haven't done enough, but I don't think it's a done deal lie they want us to believe.

From the AGM:

£19m revenue, £18m wage bill.

Is there nobody with an ounce of sense there that can see how ridiculous and unnecessary that for a club in the third tier?

Not a surprise:

Andy MacKinnon‏@andymackinnon913m
Stockbridge- finacial advisor fees 2.5 million #rfcagm

And Stockbridge has the balls to come out with 'I can't talk about it due to legal reasons'.

Bunch of thieves the lot of them.

Constantly dodging questions ('Who are Blue Pitch Holdings and Margarita' for example, after claiming they want to earn the trust of the fans), getting a bit hostile it seems due to constant avoiding of questions.

edit:

Andy MacKinnon ‏@andymackinnon91 43s
Somers says there has never been any leaks to the media from this board. Crowd not happy. #RFCAGM

Yeah ok...

Wilf Marshall ‏@Wilf1872 1m
"There's been no board leaks!" A journo is sitting infront of me laughing his head off offering to show us texts to the contrary!!!

Is this guy for real ?

Neil Lennon has denied accusations that he's paying too much attention to the Rangers AGM, and stormed out of the Rangers AGM.

F*cking LOL

That's that.

They'll be defrosting their jelly and ice cream before the seasons out.
I hope they choke on it.

Jelle1880 · 19-12-2013 06:23PM

Massive underestimating by the requisitioners, instead of telling people to vote they should have bought as many shares as possible.

This isn't over though.

The Dallas Cowboys have yet to make their move! :pac:

Where were the requisitioners when the club could have been bought for £1? Fools looking to take the place of clowns is what this was

That was a stitch-up from the highest order, nobody else would have gotten the club at that point.

You really think anyone else but Whyte would have gotten the club ?

Read this, it might clear up just how much of a stitch-up this has been from the start.

Donald Muir didn't bring Whyte to the attention of Murray because he thought he was a good guy.

That article is just a shameless rehash of everything everyone knows already just to eat up column inches. The level that Keith Jacksons likes to operate at!

There is no precise way of knowing how much Donald Muir, the financial fixer who plucked Whyte from obscurity and delivered him on to Rangers’ doorstep, profited from his seminal role in this debacle.

This is the only paragraph with any relevance to what you are saying. Donald Muir got money for getting a buyer that would agree to settle Lloyd TSBs debt first and foremost. At the time, nobody wanted to buy the club. How long was the club for sale for? These people stood idly by throughout the time the club was for sale. Whyte got the club because he was the only man willing to buy the club the way Murray and the Bank wanted. Its a case of nobody else wanting to buy the club rather than nobody else being allowed to do so.
