After ‘unauthorised’ publication
of the minutes between the Rangers’ Fan Board and Jim Hannah, Barry Leach and
Derek Llambias, Dr Zia Islam of said fan board posted the following statement
on the RFB Facebook page:
“Dear Blue Noses
It was a pleasure representing you all for the last 6 months of RFB’s
existence.
Due to what happened at the meeting and the publication of the meeting
minutes on this forum without the permission of the RIFC Board, it will now
inevitably result in the sacking of the RFB members and dissolution of the
Fans’ Board.
This would not dampen our desire and motivation to get our Club back
from the clutches of the mafia who have blackened our name for the past 3
years.
We will get back where we belong, we will become the top team in the
country, because We Are The Rangers.
Signing off. Dr. ZIA ISLAM.
PS: To all those
fellow Rangers on this forum and others, who have doubted our sincerity, in the
current circumstances we would have done the same. It is natural to get
suspicious of everyone when you are trying to save something so precious to
you. Take care. See you at the EGM.”
Rangers’
Fan Board, an initiative apparently devised by ex-CEO Graham Wallace, was
designed to provide a link between the fans and the board. It appears the RFB
has been hamstrung by the current RIFC board’s unwillingness to co-operate, or provide
any transparency to them at all.
This
final defiant act by Zia Islam has allowed supporters further insight into what
is truly going on at Ibrox. And that includes the alleged censored remark by Leach:
“The Three Bears sh*t themselves when they thought we’d accept their deal”
Shameful times at Ibrox, to say the least.
