Clown Job Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Whatever happened to that money they raised through the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund? Turns out they didn’t even raise that much Click The Fund was launched on 14 March 2012 by Rangers legends Walter Smith and Sandy Jardine during the club's administration in order to raise funds to help protect the Club's future.[3][4] The Fund was endorsed by three of the largest Rangers fans groups, namely the Rangers Supporters' Trust, the Rangers Supporters Assembly and the Rangers Supporters Association. [2] In September 2014, the Fund decided to withhold any payments to the club after requesting and failing to receive adequate assurances from the then Rangers board regarding its future plans[5] When the Rangers board agreed to grant Mike Ashley'sSport Direct company security over Rangers Training Centre and Ibrox Stadium in January 2015,[6] the Fund pledged £500,000 of its funding to support the Rangers Supporters' Trust's legal battle seeking to prevent the board from doing so.[7] In February 2016, the Fund revealed plans to provide £450,000 to build a 264-seater stand at the Rangers Training Centre.[8] The stand was constructed in 2019.[9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I do have a certain sympathy for the argument that says Rangers fans wouldn't have been able to save the club in 2012. The debt was so large and owed to the one body with the muscle to not do a deal, that the old club's fate was sealed. That's not the same as saying I've any sympathy for Rangers fans though. For the reasons outlined in WRK's excellent post, what happened was met with absolute glee by fans of other clubs. The purchased 'success' had been greeted with such arrogant triumphalism. The belt tightening had been greeted with demands based on 'deserving better'. The descent was greeted with lashing out and warnings about 'sinking others'. That's what made it so bloody joyous. The 'journey' back also offered more hilarity than might have been expected, with defeats to tiny clubs, the big tax case finally going against them and a year's stalling in the second tier. Genuine good came of it as well, with the demise of the SPL with its absurd financial distribution model, ground criteria, and 1 up; 1 down. It was bound to end some time and that it has and the duopoly is back just provokes a shrug over its inevitability. I'm delighted it ever happened though. The SPL then SFL clubs' votes that summer were tremendous, with most (alas not all) clubs getting it right. I am sorry, however, that title stripping never happened. It absolutely should have. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Rangers being liquidated was a once in a lifetime opportunity to end the duopoly and make impactful change in Scottish football. It was good that almost every club got to give them a kicking at least once or twice during "the journey" but the fact we're near enough back in exactly the same place with the two of them entrenched at the top of the league and with an effective veto over any administrative or structural change is depressing. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not half as depressing as getting scudded 6-0 off a bang average Queens Park team, though, I'd imagine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Blame for that decision lies with Stewart Milne and Aberdeen. Many fans would like to see Aberdeen get relegated and stay down there for a while. We should not let Aberdeen fans forget that selfish decision that is a millstone around the necks of non-OF clubs. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
