simplythebest 0 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nobody wants every single shareholder. Anonymous ??? After the last few years, no chance, they have come to the wrong Club. I cannot understand why any supporter would tolerate anonymous investors. We knew fine well the names of David Murray and Craig Whyte, what good did that do us? Anonymous doesn't scare me much probably based on that alone, it doesn't have to equal dodgy either. You ever heard the term 'sleeping partner'? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Sheffield Utd fans don't like that he sold a couple of players, but they were financially sound I believe. He joined them on 14/1/97, in the year to 30/6/97 their profits fell 40.89% (profit of £1,667,000 down from £2,820,000) He left them on 30/6/98, in the year to 30/6/98 their profits fell 181.88% (loss of £1,365,000) Edited July 28, 2012 by forlanssister 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anything to suggest that he bagged income into a sack to run off with? Because that seems to be what folk fear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he was handsomely remunerated for his part in obliterating the profits. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I didnt realise he was at Sheff Utd so long ago, I assumed it was quite recent. Very different situation to this day. Plus, who knows what the full situation was there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sheffield United blog/forum would be the place to find out, by Greens' own admission his time there wasn't a lovefest between him and the fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's a Wednesday fan. But its classic business, whoevers in the hot seat gets the responsibility and blame for the current mess. Now Craig Whyte was plonker, chancer, joker, etc call him what you like, but he was also a patsy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I find it very difficult to get exciting about CG....but then again, there is nothing to get excited about. Providing he does his job as CEO (something which has been poor in recent years...), I will be happy. I want to get exciting about the manager, the players etc, not about the boardroom & what they are doing & who they are - I couldn't care less, providing they do their jobs properly. So far CG appears to be doing his job very well, and long may it continue!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,296 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 CG will be judged by myself & my fellow Rangers brothers by the job he does here at our much beloved club. A good indication of that will be getting rid of Doncaster & Regan from their respective positions at the SPL & SFA over the weeks & months ahead 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Now that would be a result Rab. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
