05/02/2016 : Dave King's statement from yesterday covers transfers, Auchinlowie, Ibrox, Sports Direct and Supporters Groups. On Sports Direct : A further unanticipated investment was made to pay off the Sports Direct loan and to recover all security held by Sports Direct. That has now been completed and the Club has formally given notice to end the relationship with Sports Direct while still reserving our right to proceed with challenges to the existing suite of contracts and side agreements in a court of law. For the first time a Board of this Club has stood up to the threats of Sports Direct and has achieved resounding success in court proceedings including the substantial recovery of legal costs. Sports Direct’s motives were severely exposed when a High Court judge ruled that Sports Direct abused court processes in its attempt to bully the Club and me. We will continue to put Rangers first and ensure that we get redress and compensation for the poor commercial and business practices that the Club has been forced to endure.

The shareholding targets are initially 5%, then 10%, which enables the calling of meetings and also blocks compulsory purchase of shares in a takeover, then 25% plus 1 share, which would enable Club 1872 to block any negative takeover(s) of Rangers. The membership of Club 1872 will decide matters on one person, one vote basis and they will elect the board, which consist of 7 members. Rangers FC - Unified Fans Group Proposal
