ranger_syntax 3,777 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not entirely pointless. Walter's appointment appeared, to me at least, to be designed to show the supporters that Green could be trusted. In that context the meaning of his resignation is unambiguous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Seems like an empty threat. Anyone officially connected with Rangers who serves legal notice on Walter Smith for speaking his mind can kiss goodbye to any sort of credibility amongst the support for ever. It would be like cutting your throat to spite your face. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say a gagging order from the current board, with the fans desperate for answers would prove to be the mother of all own goals for the current regime. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie RFC 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That would be an huge own goal from the Green camp if that were the case. The fans are demanding answers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an ACCA document on corporate governance: Where a director has resigned, he or she will still be subject to certain fiduciary responsibilities towards the company, so he or she should be careful to conduct himself or herself carefully. He or she should not act in any way which could be construed as damaging the company and, in particular, it is advisable to exercise care not to make any statements which might all too easily be interpreted as impugning the integrity of past colleagues within the company. While bearing these considerations in mind, it is reasonable to make a statement, perhaps a letter to shareholders or a press release, announcing the resignation and the reason(s) for it. While directors do not have to publicise a reason for resigning, it should be possible to do so without adverse legal ramification. The reason should be as accurate as possible.
