During the last couple of seasons, Lee Wallace has been a man amongst boys. On the flipside he shows how far some of the other players are away from the level required further down the line.
-
If the board are serious regarding a director of football appointment (the act itself & his influence being brought to bear) then surely you carry out a selection process and get him in prior to organising the following season. The club is all over the place, mixed messages abound, the share price drops and executive control from upstairs is found wanting once again. 'Wanting' to fill their pockets whilst the club steadily falls apart.

Re.Cribari: Is this in place of a current coach who will be leaving ? It would also raise the question of the (lack of) influence of any prospective DoF (or equivalent) going forward. As for Miller, it's all so predictable. He's been a good player and would be above average in the Championship if he stays clear of injury but we have to break the mould and start believeing in the younger players, especially when in the lower leagues. The club hasn't got the money to maintain the old approach, as it now has to allocate serious money to go places other than football, whether that be directly or indirectly..

If Traditionalist is one of the sharper VB's then that explains a lot in itself. Apart from the abuse, he put forward an argument, it was found to be flawed as he couldn't back it up and swiftly looked to change the subject. That is to say it helped confirm much of what others had told me about the VB.

The Future is the Past !

How long do you think it right to reserve judgement ? So far, by the time the judgement has eventually seen through the fog we get somebody else in and they start again. During these various chancers passing through Ibrox things are getting steadily worse.

Rather than pin blame on Ally McCoist and the football department in general or the executive board and powers in and around the board,....I'd point to the club being an Omnishambles at just about all levels. However there is an important difference between the football and the executive board and that is the former isn't very good whilst the latter has been designed to extract money.
-
Do the current incumbents of the boardroom convince you ?
-
What kind of power ? Do you not think it may be that he sees the football club in the hands of corporate vultures and it's time something was done about it ?
-
I think Traditionalist mentioned that he was from the VB's. I encoutered him on another thread (Wallace Bonus) and his logic was so flawed and empty that I almost felt sorry for him. ps. I see you have a 'Merlin' icon available on here, I just hope he isn't a Gersnet 'icon'.....LoL !!
-
Do you think Gough cares about Rangers and if not why would he bother himself getting involved ?
-
What does that say about the disproportionate motives of GW ? Given finances and in particular cashflow, what kind of board would give the OK to that ?
-
Mr.Wallace and his advisors would have negotiated his 'Golden Renumeration Package'. When GW was appointed, the chairman Mr.Somers was talking about corporate goverence, transparency and an end to the (unjustifiable) bonus culture. In short Mr.Somers said that he would look to put together a 'professional' board who would sort out the mess. Back to negotiations, between the different parties they decided that the GW contract should contain a bonus worth 100% of a salary. Why would a company with financial problems do that ? Perhaps because he would set specific targets that would be at levels where the CEO led company would generate enough money to justify them ? or Perhaps because the company needed and pushed the mind-set of the 'Golden CV' to keep the heat off as things were to get ever hotter in the kitchen. For the "Golden CV" to take the risk/hit he needed big bucks. But they couldn't award a salary of 630,000 so they come up with the 100% bonus idea (they have previous for it) and a contract that is foggy and imprecise regards the trigger. If it were transparent and proper it would have specific conditions. So GW and his advisors started off at Ibrox by helping put together and signing a contract that was designed to decieve. It would not be transparent but would almost certainly see him take a package that all included will cost the club up to around 800K.

Can I just say that the gentleman you name doesn't influence my opinion. I am grown up enough and sufficiently grounded in our trials and tribulations of the past few years to form my own opinion. Your obvious want or need to name "cabals", "Chris Graham" and whatever or whoever else, points to a need to apportion blame rather than actually debate about the real issues at hand. I'd prefer you stayed and debated the issues more deeply so as we could better understand our respective viewpoints. However I'm going to go out and won't be back for a few hours. I will reply to any of your posts later on today or tomorrow.
-
The man with the Golden CV, we now learn is more the man with the Golden renumeration package (that just happens to be light on detail regards what triggers the main bonus).
-
No, you can't explain it because the premise of your post was deeply flawed and relied on plucking a convenient thought from the air and inserting it as if it were scientific fact. "Denial" refer's to your seeming refusal to recognize that the current board is a continuation of the misleading shambles aflicting Ibrox for years. To the extent that you apportion blame to "cabals".
-
Not altogether sure ? You must be inferring that his contract doesn't make it clear ?
-
You are not making sense. How exactly do you bracket those who didn't speak against SDM in a timely way uniquely with those who are unhappy with the way the club has and is being run (post SDM) ?
-
With all due respect and IMO you are living in utter denial. Open your eyes and and have a look over the past few years, right up until the present day. We are being played for idiots though, but by our own club.

Scenario Signing injury prone players over 30 years of age Question What Happens Next ? Percentage Answer You don't get value for money spent. Suggested Action Simply don't do it and adopt a signing policy that looks for value for money, including potential sell-on value. ps. You could see it coming with James Beattie and was doubly sore because of fee paid.
-
What would you recomend, to ignore it ? He's not really following his media friends. It's more a case of the media as a whole covering a specific within the ongoning soap opera that was prompted by the intiative of a shareholder/supporter.
-
No Billy Paterson and No transparency on this. What else lys beneath the veneer of spin and rhetoric that comes from the board that we cannot trust. Even with a contract laid bare we are still left guessing as to what may trigger the main 100% bonus, so you could say that fog is also inserted into contracts, just as regulatory notices to the stock market have been used at times to contribute to the spin.
-
Could we be thinking of an over 30's team rather than thinking about the under 20's ? Probably best to re-enforce the medical department aswell.
-
I'd very much doubt this will happen simply because of the scarcity of resources and the obvious need to spread it towards more needy areas in the squad. If Ally was looking to put any pressure on the board regarding signings/budget , the last player you'd pick would be an injury prone goalkeeper who has hardly played for about 4 seasons. -
The sad state of affairs throughout the club very much includes the football dept. but the priority is the boardroom.
