Lets face the facts bib.

Bar protesting there is **** all the ordinary fan can do. And if they were to protest you'd be straight on here calling them dafties.

Nah, I wouldn't - other Celtic fans might.

I think you'd be right to attempt to force a fan's representative onto the board (however hard that may be, it'd be easier now than at any other time in Rangers recent oligarch-dependant history) now and, indeed, protest as loudly as you could.

What I will take the piss out of you for (not specifically you guys but the fans who do this), is not acting now then protesting when it's too late.
 
I disagree with your assessment.

i) Green's transfer of shares to them is irrelevant. Even assuming they're allied with Green, a transfer of shares from Green to Green allies makes no difference to the balance of power.

ii) The perception is that some of the current members of the board are either corrupt and sucking the club dry, or are grossly incompetent. If this hedge fund helps to punt these people, so much the better.

I'd imagine Ahmed would be backing Green anyway, so buying his shares would leave the Green camp no further forward. In any case, there's no evidence that they'd back Green. As a hedge fund, they will only be interested in the share price going up and that won't happen while these shysters are on the board milking the club for all it's worth.

I don't get the question. Who's given any indication that they don't think Green, Ahmed and the Easdales are shysters?

Green's bringing these guys in. It's not an exit strategy as he isn't transferring everything and agreed the deal (supposedly) back in October.

He's not bringing them in to hamper himself - and he's not stupid enough to give them more stock if they could be a challenge to him.

The best hope for Rangers are that these guys are a cover for Dave King - if they're more of Green's "institutional investors", then they would appear to be financial vultures.

I think it's unlikely that an opponent of Green would've been the person to sell shares to these guys knowing full well that they're about to get some of his shares - unless, we've another case of someone being "duped" again.
