ian1964 10,430 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The war of words between Light Blues chief executive Craig Mather and former Blue Knights leader Paul Murray escalated once again over the weekend, with both sides keen to emerge victorious in the long-running saga. The Requisition Notice put forward by Murray and businessman Jim McColl that called for Mather, finance director Brian Stockbridge and director Bryan Smart to be removed from the Ibrox board was withdrawn last week, with ex-PriceWaterhouseCoopers chief Frank Blin deciding to play no further part after becoming frustrated at the process. The AGM that will shape Rangers' future must be held by the end of October and McCoist is keen for a line to be drawn under the saga once shareholders have had their say at the Light Blues summit. He said: "I hope (there is an end to the acrimony in sight). I don't want to get involved in that and it's not my job. I would be very, very hopeful come the AGM that we get a clean bill of health, we get a tick, and everybody can move forward. "I think that's the dream and hope of every supporter and indeed every member of staff and shareholder." McCoist has had to deal with plenty of boardroom turmoil during his time as Gers boss after working under disgraced former owner Craig Whyte and outspoken chief executive Charles Green in the past. The continuing battle for control of the club has overshadowed the fine start to the season McCoist's side have made on the park in the SPFL League One but the Ibrox manager is becoming accustomed to dealing with top-level controversies. He said: "I certainly haven't become immune to it, but I'm becoming more appreciative there's not a lot I can do about it. "My job is hopefully to get a winning team on the park and that's what I'll continue to do. "I wouldn't say it's background noise. It's just something that's been at the club now for a little while. "It's no use my worrying about things I can't affect. I'm just hopeful that after the AGM, which I think is on October 29, we'll get a line under it and we can all move on. "I appreciate that the most important thing is the playing side. That's what the fans, generally speaking, are far more interested in. "Obviously, the other issues, the fans will have their own questions and favourites, but it's my remit to give the fans something to smile about on the park. "That's what I'll do my best to give them. "I don't know if I have switched off. I don't know if I can switch off." http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/ranger...6586n.22173072 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
