Park on the egm

Several clubs have indicated they would consider voting for your proposal, but are concerned about the cost of an independent Investigation. Would you offer to cover the costs of any investigation? Cost should never be a barrier to proper governance. If our resolution is passed on Tuesday, we will be willing to fund the costs of an independent investigation covering the scope outlined in our resolution.

Have you been encouraged by the number of clubs who have contacted Rangers to offer their support following the submission of your dossier? Yes. There’s an apparent culture of fear, as we can see from the number of clubs that privately seem to have an issue with some of the things we have raised, and those prepared to speak publicly. I understand that. Look at the way we have been treated. I would also highlight the treatment of Ann Budge and Dave Cormack here – individuals who have invested significant sums in to their clubs and Scottish football as a result. Ann Budge raised the subject of loans and advances, and was criticised by Neil Doncaster and the SPFL, who claimed she was mistaken. He then made a great deal about the difference between an advance and a loan, and how the SPFL lost money when they loaned money to Gretna. The Gretna administrator said that they didn’t receive a loan and got an advance only. The Gretna accounts for administration back this up, as do the SPFL accounts. Then you have the SPFL questioning the word of Dave Cormack at Aberdeen. They’ve contradicted a statement he made in print on the Aberdeen website and on Radio Scotland. So in the space of a few weeks, you’ve had the SPFL publicly criticise ourselves, Ann and Dave. What kind of message are we sending to potential investors in Scottish football?
