stewarty 1,878 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Reading between the lines of a few things that have happened in the last week or so... 1) Mike Ashley rumoured to be interested in increasing his stake 2) Ahmad seemingly talking to Bill McMurdo who is then blogging about Mather's salary and the lack of cost reduction 3) Further rumours about CG wanting to return 4) Other rumours about potential interested parties looking at acquring shares... Seems to me that key investors have parachuted Green in to make sure their interests are assured - i.e. to make the maximise the value of their shares if and when someone makes a bid. Just my amateur and uninformed view though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm pleased to see him back even if it's a back seat role, shouldn't have needed to end the way it did. It was self inflicted the way it ended.... No need to make him the victim 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 And we have little need for a "consultant" who doesn't have the necessary background regarding capital structuring..... And I have my doubts that he has the necessary qualifications for shareholder relations either.... Your justification of having him back that it is ok to spend money on his consulting fees because we are spending money on the squad is naive at best ! Not so much a justification, more that if people are worried about costs Green being in a consultancy role is hardly the only thing to worry about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Where are they in the business world? There are plenty of them, despite your cynicism. Besides, shareholder relations it is critical to be truthful to the stockholders in the company 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my amateur and uninformed view though. Agree with that conclusion but also feel this 'external' role could just be a ruse to distance himself from footballing authority bureaucracy while actually taking a much more hands-on position than the LSE release details. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie RFC 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Not sure what to make of this one. We can't afford to pay Pandza until we get rid of a few players but have the money to pay for a business consultant. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playing squad, as it is, would cost us money to reduce. By not hiring Green would have cost us nothing. Nobody said it is the only thing to worry about but it does come across as a needless expense, unlike having playing staff 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to make him the victim Partly self inflicted, I think it's hard to deny that some were keen to get rid of him irrespective of 'guilt' or not. But no point going over old ground. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Can't say that I'm looking forward to the Romanov-esque statements though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
