Stand-in chief executive Craig Mather has issued an ominous warning against the so-called ‘enemies of Rangers’.
Despite a number of concessions made towards the newco and a plan to place them in the SPL then First Division there is a widespread belief that somehow the Ibrox side were given a tough time by the football authorities.
The terms of the secretive five way agreement that provided the club with associate membership has yet to be revealed with Mather fuelling the notion that the club was wronged by the events of last summer.
Speaking to a gathering of supporters in California the official club website reported Mathers as telling fans: “There will be times when you want us to tackle our enemies and it will seem like we’re somehow reluctant to do so or that we don’t care.
“You might believe we don’t feel hurt to the same extent as you but I’m here to tell you we do.
“Sometimes you have to wait. We have chosen and we will continually choose the right moment to strike.
“Please, please never believe that I or any other directors don’t know the names of the people who have tried to damage this club. We know all of them.
“We know what each one tried to do and I can assure you we will never, ever forget about that.
“Rangers is on its way back now and it’s more alive and united than ever. These gatherings show that and you are powerful proof of that.”
Mathers was brought to the club by Charles Green, snapping up £1m of shares at 1p each before the December floatation that valued shares at 70p.
He sounds like an intimidating thug. Par for the course.
Exactly. Threaten and intimidate anyone who doesn’t bend to their will. Oh how the old dead club would be so proud to see the new one carry on it’s most cherished traditions.
In fact they should make it official and adopt it as their new motto: ‘et terror impendeat’
They are a cheating bunch and the sfa has backed them all the way.
If he…..and anyone else at that club (spit) are threatning other clubs it just shows what type of people the club atracts,they now have a chairman who knows nothing about running a football club (apart from spending other people’s money to buy footballers!) and what appears to be a thug of a CEO……they’ll never learn…..and the Scottish MSM will give them all the rope they need courtesy of their “succulent lamb” journalistic skills.
WE welcome the chase THE Rangers………..or whatever your called this week! LOL
Rabble rousing. It’s like chuckie all over again. ‘Enemies’? THEY ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMIES. Nobody has done a thing to them except them!
I hope he has my name, I wouldn’t like to think all my bad mouthing of the biggest tax cheats in Scotland’s history went unnoticed!
Nice to see the zombies trying to make friends as usual – maybe if they’d shown any contrition whatsoever they may not be so hated by every non zombie fan in Scotland.
It’s amazing they feel hard done by considering that if the rules were stick to them they wouldn’t even have qualified to play in SFL3.
They’ll never change.
He is the classic example of the true VULTURE capitalist. Buy the shares before the peasants , then wind up the dummies to save the Club and they pay through the nose, just to make vultures like him rich. McCoist (a poor example of even a 3rd Division manager) is right in there with the worst of these Vultures .As to the enemies of Sevco .The Board of Rangers International will be the most dangerous enemy the fans will ever have.
Gie’s yer money, buy season ticket’s, we know name’s, everybody’s against us.Same shite as last summer.
The more I read his comments the more it appears he is threatening anyone in authority who doesn’t do as he wants them to do. These people choose tax evasion, fraud, cheating, non payment of bills, lying, back-stabbing, bigotry and intimidation. Rotten to the core.
Threats again.
Of course the sfa will ask questions of this man.
Ps has he passed the fit and proper
Did someone tread on something?
Somboby open a wondow ffs!
Job done, cheers joe.
Big talk from a wee club, new club same mentality, threat, threats and more threats, if only the new club could move forward with just a wee bit of dignity and respect. New club but still same bigoted scum attitudes.
Hail hail, 125 YEARS OF UNBROKEN HISTORY+
Just stop short of proclaiming we are ra peepul an ave got ra deeds noo.
He claims to know all the people who tried to damage his club its a pity he doesn’t know the names of all the small business’s the oldco shafted. Pandering to the knuckle draggers seems to be the only thing this lot care about.
Rangers was being touted to and Tom, Dick and Harry for free, Craigy Bhoy got them for a shiny pound coin, if ANYONE with the inclination and a pound wanted to damage that Club or its reincarnated zombie Club, it would have been simple. In the end the original Club needed no help in committing the most farcical implosion in sport history.
He’s either lying to wind up his half-witted fans or else he’s a twenty-four carat nutter.
It’s all very well for him and his fellow money-grabbing directors to wind up the dafties to increase their profits, but they don’t have to walk the same streets as them.
Aye right we all know who damaged them- it was your ain peepel ya muppet.
The guys a ham shank but the orcs will lap this pish up and the balloons running the shower of shite know it, more hot air hh
Actually, just a little clarification here Mr. Mather. Rangers as you knew them aren’t on the way back. That club are like the unicorn and ET. They do not exist. Now, we agree that there is a club who took a similar name to that old extinct club, and as a result sucked in some fans who now had nowhere to go on the weekends.
The club, now extinct, who were proven to be corrupt, had directors etc also looking to hang on to something which, excuse my boring repeats, but no longer exist, joined forces with the newco and had the brainwave to call them something similar to the, yes, extinct club, and as a result, conned a bunch of fans from the, ahem, extinct club into believing they are one and the same as the EXTINCT club thus conning them to spend some money to fund the brand new outfit! So Mr. mather, not on the way “back” at all!
hitler retoric and people believed him
