Leading Rangers fan group Club 1872, the Rangers Supporters Association (RSA) and the Union Bears ultras have called for “greater accountability, competence and transparency from the leadership of the club” as they said in a joint statement that they are ready for talks with new Ibrox chairman John Bennett.
Bennett’s predecessor Douglas Park, who stepped down earlier this month, was at loggerheads with Club 1872 who voted against his reelection at the AGM. Park said he had no issues with the but that the problem over engaging stemmed from their refusal to sign an NDA (non disclosure agreement).
Club 1872 completed a £250,000 share purchase to move through the five per cent Rangers shares threshold once again and issued a joint statement along with two other influential supporters sections. It read: “The Union Bears, Club 1872 and the Rangers Supporters Association (RSA) have held a series of very constructive meetings over the past few weeks, sharing our experiences and concerns about the direction of the club over the last couple of years.
“We are all agreed on our wish for greater accountability, competence and the transparency from the leadership of the club. We would like to welcome John Bennett to his new role as chairman and express our hope that he will engage with supporters and make the required changes to ensure that his publicly articulated vision of a ‘best in class’ Rangers will become a reality. It is our shared view that there is a lot of work to be done for that to be the case.
“For our own part, we all stand ready to engage constructively with Mr Bennett and share our perspectives with him. We hope that process will begin very shortly. We all want Rangers to thrive and succeed and e hope that constructive, opens and honest dialogue will be a priority for the new chairman.”
