THE Rangers Fans Board have vowed to keep up their fight against the Ibrox hierarchy as chief executive Derek Llambias continues his quest to silence them.

Relations between the RFB and Gers top table have plummeted in recent weeks after they issued a vote of no confidence against the under-fire directors and released a controversial and damaging set of minutes from their last meeting with Llambias and Barry Leach.

On Thursday, Llambias threatened members with legal action if they refused to shut down their official Facebook page as he informed them in writing the group was being broken up.

The treatment of the Fans Board has infuriated the Light Blue legions just days before the make-or-break EGM that could see Llambias, Leach and chairman David Somers removed from office.

One RFB member told SportTimes: "We are not going to give up. This has fuelled us even more, like it has a lot of fans, especially with the EGM coming up.

"If Derek Llambias and Barry Leach had any support left, it has gone now. This has been really bad PR for them. The whole thing is ridiculous and so amateur.

"We were seen initially as puppets for the board, but we have stood up to them, we had the vote of no confidence and released the minutes of the last meeting.

"The fans have respected us a lot more and they realise we are in it for the fans, not for the board. We are not going to take this lightly. It has put more fuel on the fire and we have been treated very poorly.

"They are trying to scare us into submission, but Rangers fans aren't like that. We will get on with it. Llambias isn't used to this, having been at Newcastle, but we won't sit quietly."

Rangers last night declined to comment on the Fans Board issue, but the Ibrox hierarchy were forced to admit an embarrassing error after confirming that James Easdale was paid during his stint on the board.

And they also made a U-turn on claims relating to Llambias and his time at Newcastle United that were made in a circular to shareholders earlier this month.

Rangers' Stock Exchange announcements are handled by Paul Shackleton of WH Ireland, and previously of former Nomad Daniel Stewart, but amendments have had to be made to official releases on several occasions in recent years.

In a statement following his departure on Wednesday, Easdale stated 'I also want to dispel any remaining doubt that I received any remuneration from Rangers. I did not. Instead I chose to work for free to benefit the club.'

But Rangers then back-tracked yesterday, confirming that the businessman was paid 'director's fees between August, 2013 and December, 2013, in accordance with his contractual entitlements' and stating that all amounts had been paid back in January, 2014.

In the same announcement, it was confirmed that several inaccuracies were present in the documents issued to shareholders that trumpeted the background of Llambias.

In the circular, it was stated the Englishman joined Newcastle in 2007, increased turnover from £85million to £123m, and turned United into one of the top 20 most profitable clubs in Europe.

In fact, Llambias was appointed in 2008 and left five years later, with Newcastle's turnover £28m less than the 'projected figure'.

The appointment of Llambias, who was Mike Ashley's right-hand man on Tyneside, as chief executive last year, was met with anger by fans.

And Rangers Supporters' Trust spokesman Chris Graham has now called on Somers to set the record straight over how the former Toon chief landed the top job at Ibrox.

He said: "You would expect the info given on Llambias in the circular, which has now been amended, formed part of the CV submitted when he was given the job as chief executive.

"Did Llambias write it? Did chairman David Somers rely on this information when he was employing him?

"If he did, he has clearly employed him on the basis of inaccurate information. It's important David Somers clarifies this point.

"It's embarrassing for the board and nomad to once again be correcting statements previously issued. It shows a level of negligence and incompetence we've come to expect from them."

The prospect of Llambias and Leach following James Easdale out of Ibrox took another step closer last night after the RST clinched a significant share coup.

The Trust have completed a proxy deal for the 810,000 shares held by German boss Felix Magath and will use them to vote for all seven resolutions at the EGM.

The RST now have control over 4.5million shares, giving them a 5.53% say in the voting as Dave King, Paul Murray and John Gilligan bid to oust the board.

Graham said: "Felix has a deep appreciation of the problems faced by the fans and the club in the past few years. We sincerely thank him for his backing and hope that this is yet another signal to the current board that their time is coming to an end."
