THE contrast in reaction to TWO statements released yesterday by 1872 – read HERE – and Union Bears – read HERE – among the Rangers support could not have been more more stark.
The former from the group desperate for a seat on the board and blazers for the blue room has been widely described as ‘pathetic’ while the statement from the latter, a group often referred to by other Rangers fans as a ‘bunch of wee neds’ has been widely applauded.
This of course is BAB NEWS for Dave King who has 45,000 season tickets to sell to the support in the next few weeks and of course plans to get as many of them as possible to “invest” in some kind of share purchase offer after his own promise to buy existing shareholders out is fulfilled.
Dave’s busy working on that at the moment, with the Takeover Panel and the Court of Session breathing down his brass neck.
Now another supporters group have made their position clear and it isn’t good reading if you are David King!
The Vanguard Bears have very much taken the side of The Union Bears as the emerging civil war at Ibrox gains momentum.
“The Union Bears statement regarding planned action against the current Rangers board was posted on our forum this evening. (17/04/18) Every single Bear on VB fully supports the actions of the Union Bears this coming Sunday,” the VB statement says.
“Dave King’s board were welcomed by just about every fan up and down the land and like everyone else, we at VB had high hopes for the future under the new board. Our members voted overwhelmingly in favour of the King consortium taking control.
“Unfortunately, the upport has been badly let down by the present board of directors.
“From poor managerial appointments, to playing the best part of a season with an under 20 coach in charge, to ignoring the Rangers hating media and political elite, the current board have been nothing short of negligent.
“Vanguard Bears calls on the board to start living up to the promises they made before taking control of our club. If these promises cannot be met, sell up to those who can take the club back to the top again.
“The present malaise is not acceptable. The fans are not prepared to sit back and allow our club to be humiliated any longer. The choice is yours Mr King.”
