RANGERS yesterday issued a statement admitting they had issued inaccurate accounts to the Stock Exchange.

The club revealed that accounts drawn up by controversial former club secretary Brian Stockbridge did not disclose a huge windfall was coming his way.

The Record last week revealed that Stockbridge had snapped up around £215,000 worth of shares for just £7000 – paying the diluted price of a penny per share – as part of a “golden handshake” deal when he was booted out of Ibrox.

But the club accounts compiled by Stockbridge for the 13-month period up to June 30 last year – when the deal was struck – did not refer to any such arrangement.

The figures, published last October, stated in a paragraph described as Note 30: “No share options or convertible shares are held within the Group,
therefore no diluted Earnings per Share calculation is required.”

However, following the revelation of Stockbridge’s deal, the club last night released a fresh statement, which stressed there were no further “penny share”
giveaways in the pipeline.

The new statement added: “The directors note that Note 30 to the accounts for the 13-month period ended 30 June 2013 was incorrect to the extent that the options to which the share announcement on 1 July 2014 relate were not included.”

But the latest announcement sparked fury among supporters’ groups.

Rangers Union of Fans spokesman Chris Graham said Rangers Nominated Advisor (NOMAD) Daniel Stewart and auditors Deloittes would be incredulous at this turn of events.

He said: “Once again, this is unbelievable from the current board.

“If I recall correctly, Brian Stockbridge was actually the company secretary when these accounts were being produced, so he was responsible for their preparation and release, along with Deloittes as auditors.

“Are we expected to believe that the man in charge of the finances of the club forgot about his own share options?

“That is exactly what they are saying here as they are not mentioned or included in the accounts.

“I would imagine that the NOMAD will not be terribly pleased and that Deloittes, as auditors, will also be unhappy about this.

“But, as we have experienced before, it is very hard for anybody to take the current Rangers board to task for all the stunts they have pulled over the last couple of years.

“As another example of spectacular unprofessionalism, how many times can they claim: ‘It’s not our fault guv?’”

The funny thing is despite all the grandstanding these people are utterly toothless. What actually is their game plan, how can they possibly come out of this without losing face, did anyone even consider what their endgame was before they started releasing ridiculous demands?

I almost feel sorry for the hapless ****ers.
 
Let's state all our demands on a piece of paper with a huge Union fleg in the background so they know we are super serious.

Off topic but the Daily Mail have an article about a Labour fundraiser. Check the picture they have used.

"Don't vote for Labour, they are the tranny party" Which is essentially the message they are attempting to convey to *****s.

"We unite ourselves on the basis of five points of agreement:

1. We affirm our support for the principles of democracy

2. We reject the use of violence or threats of violence and will seek to counteract those who use the threat of violence for political gain

3. We commit ourselves to peaceful, lawful protest and political action

4. We commit ourselves to the principle of civil and religious liberty for all

5. We seek recognition of the importance of the parading tradition and the freedom to express our culture and identity"


How can anyone with a smidgeon of self awareness publish this with a straight face? Since when did the OO ever believe in democracy or the principle of civil and religious liberty for all? I'll stop there because talking about the OO rejecting violence and upholding peacful traditions may just induce a couple of seizures on here!
 
Big fat Derek Johnstone demanding apologies , can't recall Rangers giving apologies to the 300 odd companies they failed to pay , one stupid hun on one forum wanted the spl suspended until there was an enquiry into the treatment of Rangers!!
