Llambias personally shuts down the Rangers’ fan board
As ibroxnoise.co.uk brought to
you two nights ago following the publication of Zia Islam’s statement, Rangers
have now dissolved the fan board formally.
Derek Llambias personally took
the action of closing the think-tank down last night, in an email to the group
stating it would be closed with immediate effect as opposed to the post-EGM
closure the fan board expected.
He is reported to have said:
“I’m going to disband the fan board, if I’m
still here after the EGM revisit the whole thing.”
This initiative, as previously
stated, was setup by then-CEO Graham Wallace as a way to bring fans closer to
the Club and give supporters a direct say in the running of events at Ibrox,
but due to board censure, cover-up, and an appalling lack of transparency since
Wallace’s departure, the RFB has been left completely impotent.
This act comes as no surprise and
murmurings from Ibrox suggest the lack of a confirmed date for the EGM is both
due to the board’s belief they are going to lose, and their frantic last-ditch
efforts to acquire legal aid to have the EGM postponed or indeed cancelled.
They might argue Dave King is not
fit for purpose, and my thoughts on him are well-documented, but the present
board certainly is not either.
