Surely they have to speak out on our behalf here

C1872 should speak for their members / investors.club 1872 should speak for all fans, and all fans are not up in arms against the board over this.
they wanted to offer him the job but were not allowed to speak with him before he said no.
Robertson made a big song and dance about improving lines of communication between the board and the fans, although I suspect that was all a load of hot air. Club 1872 have a duty though to hold the board to account over this farce, especially since the answers provided at last week’s AGM were unsatisfactory and condescending.
Club 1872 need to stand up and prove that they are a powerful voice within the club or else they will quickly lose paying members.
Totally agree mate. That statement was an utter embarrassment and up there with that shambles that was released the night Warburton left. Club 1872 need to prove their worth here and hold the club to account because we’re just lurching from one disaster to the next.Yes, exactly.
I’d firstly like them to really press on the issue of who the fuck thought it was a good idea to sign off on that statement earlier and just add further embarrassment to this ridiculous scenario.
Because you are embarrassed doesn't mean to say everyone else is.Surely they have to speak out on our behalf here

You don't think it's embarrassing that we've waited six weeks only to get rejected by an Aberdeen manager? You don't think it's disgraceful we have a board who have effectively given up on the season and yet who are trying to flog us half season tickets? Or that we've got a chairman who's announced to the world like an utter buffoon that everyone that's already applied is shit? Who the hell would want this job? That statement was rude, condescending and a childish attempt to run down someone's character. Any statement signed off by a Rangers board should be classy and dignified - that statement is the polar opposite. We have a fat, argumentative and arrogant tosser in charge of our media and PR relations and yet our utterly incompetent Managing Director seems to think he's 'an asset'. We are a shambles from top to bottom.Because you are embarrassed doesn't mean to say everyone else is.
You feel embarrassed if you want, I am not in the least.
There is no outstanding candidate.
No one had the majority of the fans behind him.
It is going to take time.
We shouldn't be jumping in with 2 feet.

McLean and Ferguson rejecting us in 1983 is totally different to Derek McInnes giving us the snub in 2017. The statement was classless and needlessly confrontational. They probably could have gotten away with trying to tell us we've been swamped with excellent candidates weeks ago but now we can see right through them. King coming out saying our next manager would be one already under contract and who has British/Scottish football experience BEFORE even approaching Aberdeen or McInnes was daft and just shows they took him for granted by assuming he'd say 'yes' to the job. By the end of this month we will have spent 16 weeks managerless in 2017. That's utterly unacceptable and I predict the fans' frustration will be reflected in a decline in ST sales in a few months.I am putting it all down to experience.
In our history we have been rejected by the Aberdeen manager and the Dundee hivs manager for the same vacancy.
In our history we have had the Rover Season Ticket. Sit in any seat you want.
Did you want a statement that said, "Thanks for that Derek"?
250,000 went to Manchester. Out of that quarter of a million, not one has came up with a realistic name, that we could all get behind. Do you want the board to lie and say they are all excellent candidates, we are spoiled for choice?
No I am not in the least bit embarrassed. I will still follow on with pride in my heart, not embarrassment.
No matter how long it takes, let's get it right.
Yes it was totally different.McLean and Ferguson rejecting us in 1983 is totally different to Derek McInnes giving us the snub in 2017. The statement was classless and needlessly confrontational.

We didn’t mess about for six weeks before bothering to approach them. They were in charge of successful sides themselves, and far more so than McInnes has achieved at Aberdeen.Yes it was totally different.
We had the best and most modern stadium in Europe.
We had the Albion, for training purposes, very few could brag about.
We were still winning trophies. Relatively speaking we had more money and a better squad.
They didn't try and get away with it.
They told us the truth. Knowing the truth would come out.
Again. You have slammed the Club statement, but want Club1872 to issue a statement slamming Traynor, Robertson and the board. What happened to "Let's stay united"?

They didn't wait 6 weeks, because they were obvious candidates.We didn’t mess about for six weeks before bothering to approach them. They were in charge of successful sides themselves, and far more so than McInnes has achieved at Aberdeen.
If the board had truly rated McInnes they’d have approached him after Warburton left. They didn’t, and rather they spent six weeks of scouring the globe only to produce Pedro Caixinha. Everyone and their dog knew he wouldn't last beyond Christmas so the board should have learned enough about strategic planning in order to make a swoop for a manager pretty swiftly.
It's unacceptable to take this length of time only to go for the guy we could and should have approached a long time ago. It's even worse that we clearly don't have a plan B to quickly move onto or else Murty wouldn't have been given the job until 'at least' the new year.

What do you want them to ask?Who’s saying the need to slam the board?
They need to come out and question the board, seek answers, clarification and transparency! One of the mains reasons they even exist
We’re in the beginning of Dec and it basically feels like they have given up on this season already. Taking his long to appoint a manger is criminal.
What do you want them to ask?
"When will a manager be appointed?" The Club have already answered it.
"Clarification and transparency." That is just soundbite claptrap.
The Club has said from day one, there was no outstanding candidate. A fact all agreed by the fans.
They didn't cover anything up or feed us any nonsense.
Any other stupid questions, per the tone of the thread.
"When are you going to sack Robertson?"
The Club had it's AGM last week, for all shareholders not just Club1872 to ask questions.
Dave King also banged on (for far too long imo) at the AGM about the responsibility that the board had to ‘non-fan’ investors. I wonder what the ‘non-fans’ think about us not having foresight, a succession plan, or new manager for this long, and with no plan in sight....
This is surely one of the most important roles in the whole ‘company’?
Would you give them a vote of confidence if you weren’t a fan?
For me they still have goodwill, but only because I am a fan.
Well said OTL, good old fashioned common sense it will never catch on in FF land.Because you are embarrassed doesn't mean to say everyone else is.

Glad to know you have had a total of 10 posts.Good to know you’re happy with how the last 6 weeks have gone
Glad to know you’re happy to go to Easter road and Celtic Park in the next few weeks with the u20’s coach in charge
Glad to know you’re happy with having a less than transparent board
Glad to know you’re happy with unprofessional statements being issued on behalf of the club
Glad to know you’re happy to write the season off in Dec
Do they have anyone attending to their emails ? I've been waiting 16 days for a reply from them.
Why is Club 1872 discussing the best way forward? What exactly have Club 1872 got to do with the manager appointment? You speak for the members. The members aren't happy. The members and wider support aren't happy. The whole episode is embarrassing for the club and support. Maybe a statement from you is exactly not required. You haven't exactly held the board and executive to account in the past.[/QUOTE
The majority of the Club 1872 board have only been in place since November and prior to that there was a broken board. Why do so many people fire bullets? I find it disheartening that Rangers fans find it so easy to be negative towards each other. To do things in a professional and competent manner takes time.
What was your email about and I will personally look into it. Remember the board are volunteers, I am at work just now, taking time to post on here. In addition there is only one admin worker so again lets be realistic.Too busy blocking folk on twatter.
As a director of Club 1872 I would ask for a little patience. We are actively discussing the matter to find the best way forward, as somebody intimated earlier we don't want to be seen as an organisation that only issues statements. Please remember we are all Rangers fans as well and feel the pain as keenly as everybody else.
Don't even talk to them.Why is Club 1872 discussing the best way forward? What exactly have Club 1872 got to do with the manager appointment? You speak for the members. The members aren't happy.
