Frankie 8,200 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Clearly, people are using this situation for their own ends. Meanwhile, as ever, the club's image suffers and the fans are left scratching their heads. This self-perpetuating gig for MediaHouse really is a cash-cow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,200 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 What I will add though is that last year we had the same supposed rumours about McCoist and Green falling out and both deny that ever happened. Will be interesting to see if the club comment officially on this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager there's more to it than rumour. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Chris Graham confirmed weeks ago that Green and Murray don't get on, only thing wrong is nothing should've got out until Murray had stepped down, but the usual Ibrox leak machine seems to be in full flow again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case I'd agree but I would urge caution in some respects. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,357 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Again, I would like to know who feeds the press here. "A supporter" complained here, "a supporter" complained there ... to whom and how does this info get into the open? I'm not asking for hush-hush tactics, I just like to know how this makes it into the wrong hands. Rangers chairman Malcolm Murray asked to leave 'in best interests of club' Wednesday 20 February 2013 Richard Wilson Scottish Herald (<- click) The Rangers board of directors have asked the chairman, Malcolm Murray, to stand down over concerns about his personal conduct. The request was made at a scheduled board meeting last week although aspects of his behaviour and indiscretions about club matters had been raised at the two previous board meetings following a complaint by a supporter. Herald Sport understands that if Murray had agreed, an amicable departure could have taken place, with the chairman remaining at the club until after the interim financial results are announced next month and perhaps even until the end of the season. However, a second complaint about Murray from a supporter brought the matter to a head, leading to the directors requesting that he stand down at last week's board meeting. Murray has been chairman since the consortium led by Charles Green bought the club last summer. He was introduced to Green, Imran Ahmad, the commercial director, and Brian Stockbridge, the finance director, by Zeus Capital, the Manchester-based investment bank. He seemed a shrewd choice as chairman given his credentials as a lifelong Rangers supporter and his solid background and experience in investment and finance. Herald Sport understands that it was a board decision to ask Murray to step down, in the best interests of the club. No deadline was set but it is unlikely the current scenario can remain indefinitely. There have long been rumours of tension between Murray and Green, but it was concerns about Murray's private life that led to the request he stand down. Murray has not responded to the board, although a story alleging a rift with Green and containing some details about the board meeting appeared in one newspaper yesterday. "There are always divisions and disagreements on boards, which generally remain within the boardroom," a source told Herald Sport. "The board supported the view that Charles' sole interest was the club, what's good for the club, and are bitterly disappointed that a difficult matter that should have been handled sensitively was exposed in such a crude and distorted manner." Since there has not yet been an annual general meeting and no director has been formally voted into place by the shareholders, following the successful launch of the club on the Alternative Investment Market last December, the board can effectively sack the chairman. Herald Sport understands , however, that there is a marked reluctance to pursue that course of action. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,896 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Guess the bottom line is that sometimes people don't get along. And if there are other issues with regards to "indiscretions" then it's reasonable to be taking the steps that seem to be in motion. The issue is then about the unity of the remaining board and ensuring there are appropriate checks and balances, particularly with regards to scrutinising Green's performance. That for me will be the key concern as we can never again get into a position where an individual can ride roughshod over the rest of the Board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMazza 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hmm. Two supporter complaints. Concerns about his personal life? I sincerely hope this is not a stitch up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
