chilledbear 16 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/rangersfc/Craig-Whyte-eyes-boardroom-shuffle.6764496.jp?articlepage=1 Phil Betts, his business partner and since Friday a new director of the club, was in the trophy room with Whyte. There was, however, no sign of Andrew Ellis, the man who introduced Whyte to the Rangers deal in the first place. There is some speculation as to precisely what involvement Ellis is going to have moving forward, if any. It was instructive to note the presence in the directors box of Ali Russell, the commercial and marketing executive who was for three years the commercial director at Hearts and before that was head of marketing at the Scottish Rugby Union. Russell isn't yet 40 years old. From 2008 to January of this year, Russell was the deputy chief executive of Queens Park Rangers. Since January, he has been on a six-month contract as chief executive of Scottish Swimming. Nobody should jump to conclusions about Russell. There is no hard information that says he is about to be parachuted on to the Rangers board but it was interesting to hear what Whyte had to say when asked about the reasons why he was so keen to buy Rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Good article. Whyte certainly makes all the right noises for me. Reading between the lines, quite a few changes on the way and sounds like Bain, McIntyre, King and Murray might not be around much longer. If there is a new professionalism brought to the Club then great - it's been long overdue. Will be interesting to see how we deal with the PR side of things. Fascinating times ahead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbernauldGers 0 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I really hope we have a good clear out. We need fresh faces not only on the park but off it. We need fresh ideas and lets hope this happens. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 1,877 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The credentialss of Betts et al seem reasonable enough. Boardroom change is inevitable it seems. I'm encouraged by some of the initial quotes from Whyte but it's too early to form opinions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRIANMC1 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm hopeful the JJB agreement will be re-visited. We would be well within our rights to tear it up. Also the Shirt make could be then looked at. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
