In this case, I hope it's all guns blazing.  

I would suspect he will be firm but the other sides have to play ball 

Far from a PR strategy of ‘No one likes us we don’t care’ it will more be like, These our our concerns, we can play ball but you’ll have to play ball also 

There are some organisations who are beyond repair (Record Sun etc) and some we have to try and repair something with (Fare, BBC etc) for the greater good 

I am very pro David Graham, he is after all one of us 

But the proof is always in the pudding 

I wrote this in my blog this week & I’ll say it again

His remit is the following 

- sort issues with BBC 

- sort issues with Fare

- sort issues with local politicians

- sort issues with our media 

He has the experience, he has the knowledge and has dealt with many things 

Am I biased? Absolutely but my opinion (mine) is I’m prepared to give him a go 

I’d rather a bluenose who was aware of the challenges we face than a big company who know nothing of our current dilemmas

We'll see. Hope I am. 

Do you know what his remit is?

Look, let me be clear, I have nothing against David Graham and genuinely wish him every success in the new role, and I mean that. If my comments on this thread have been read as criticism of him then let me apologise and clarify. This is a messageboard for fans to get things off their chest and waste some time, I'm under no illusions at all that I have any influence, nor do I want any. I, perhaps mistakenly, view this is place as a chat among friends (or at least acquaintances). 

I think Rangers PR strategy has been flawed for a long time and I'm not convinced our PR strategy is changing in the direction I think it should. I expect the head of PR or Communications (or whatever the title is) will have input into our strategy but ultimately it'll be decided by our board and they'll be tasked with delivering it. For that reason I think David Graham has been chosen because the board feel he'll be good at delivering the strategy they've decided on. So, to be clear, it's the strategy, not the individual, I have issue with. 

 

As I've said in both posts before this one I expect the strategy will be popular with a good percentage of the support. The replies on this thread already testify to that. No one likes us, we don't care, is, for me, a terrible PR strategy, but it's what I think we're going for. I could be wrong, I'm simply guessing like everyone else. 

 

Again, I genuinely wish David Graham all the best. 

Your expectations and base of your argument are completely wrong 

You’ve come to a conclusion and stand point because you think something will happen and be our strategy 

Well it isn’t and you are wrong

Hello, David, welcome to Rangers.

Now, do you know anything at all about the history of The Club?

He’s a lifelong Rangers supporter, well versed in PR and media with a background in politics 

Fan friendly and well aware of the score with regards to Scottish Media

It’s a fairly balanced piece by 4lads but there’s no escaping the management team have made mistakes in recent weeks & have shown favouritism to certain players which has cost us.

 

And I’m not sure how Barasic was to blame for Hamilton’s goal the other night !! Goldson 100% as far as I was concerned

Methinks it is more the notion that Barasic "seemingly" sheds his blame and pointing at Goldson that causes some anger.

 

Of course, Barasic never intended to hit that clearance off Davis, in essence, it was a nice line of misshaps and errors that led to their goal. Ill-luck that we did not receive on the other end.

Barisic wasn’t blamed at all - the blog states that 

His reaction is the talking point

I’m flabbergasted it’s come to this

As far as I’m aware only part of the ground we own has been sold not the carpark 

The car park is a requirement of the club deck & main stand capacity IIRC

I'll enrol in sensitivity and age-awareness courses, prior to posting on a football forum again.  

Just don’t be a dick, no courses needed for that ??

I want what's best for Rangers and think our club would be better off with a good PR firm on board.  

Nobody on here would dispute that 
 

Taking Glee in a 66 year old being attacked & saying ‘ maybe he’ll be sent our to pasture’ is crass to say the least 

As is your inability to see the bigger picture, Jim Traynor or not

I don't want Jim Traynor to be associated with Rangers FC.  I thinks that's fairly reasonable given his track record. 

 

I don't anyone to be assaulted whilst going about their daily business.  

 

I tend not to jump to conclusions on the basis of tweets, which I think is sensible.

who’s jumping to conclusions? 
 

Your posts have been eye opening to say the least today, from almost glee to now twisting it back around 

Police are investigating an assault with a sectarian aggravation, that’s not from a tweet ?‍♂️

I don't hate Jim Traynor.  

 

Do you have evidence the attack was motivated by sectarianism?

Your comments certainly paint that picture 

Evidence?! the police have taken complaints and are treating it as an assault with sectarian aggravation 

What more is necessary?

Is this a statement of fact?

 

"They surged in several times clubbing everyone within reach. Although the fans who were spewing their sectarian bile probably deserve a good hiding, innocents would also have been taken out."

Jim Traynor on Rangers fans in Pamplona, Spain

So that makes it fair game & attacking him is ok? 
 

‘Maybe he can be put out to pasture’ 

Again your hatred means you are missing the point spectacularly

It’s a sectarian attack on a Rangers employee, it’s an attack on all of us because In the attackers tiny mind it’s getting at all of us by his shouts 

You are genuinely making an arse of yourself here through hatred
