bossy 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 So far, these have all been names that have been reported in the media, which I kinda thought..... everyone has been talking about Frank Blin (originally), the Christian Purslaw.....How many folk had actually heard of either of these 2 before they were mentioned in the media??? I suppose part of my point is that we get told such & such is interested & is a great guy and large number of folk simply follow that, and are convince they are the best thing since sliced bread. On paper it is VERY easy to make someone look like the ideal candidate.... There are a ton of very capable businessmen out there with great CVs. But most of us have never heard of them because they are not media hogs. You have to look at their CVs and judge for yourself if you think they are competent. I have seen Blin's CV and it speaks for itself. But Blin is not alone. Take a look at the Rangers Group on LinkedIn and you will see a bunch of other Bears with pretty good CVs. http://www.linkedin.com/groups?viewMembers=&gid=57392&sik=1382025894436 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Frank Blin's business and governance credentials are impeccable, as will be his ethical credentials given his professional background. Purslow would be a coup too given what he did at Liverpool and the fact that he stood up to Hicks & Gillette and, effectively, forced them to sell Liverpool as they couldnt service the debt. Frank Blin and Christian Purslow would be astounding appointments, but I won't be surprised at all if neither of them are appointed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 SDM David Holmes That's a bit off, Craig, David Holmes was responsible for bringing Souness to the Club and the revolution that followed after years in the wilderness and ever dwindling crowds. He does not get the credit he deserves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Actually, some people on another board have heard that David Longmuir might (sic!) be a candidate. Just a rumour though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be an excellent choice not least in respect of his knowledge of Scottish football, government contacts etc and from what I know of him would absolutely relish going in to bat against Doncaster and a great deal cheaper than Christian Purslow though not with the anything like the same international reputation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd be more than happy with David Longmuir in the boardroom. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 That's a bit off, Craig, David Holmes was responsible for bringing Souness to the Club and the revolution that followed after years in the wilderness and ever dwindling crowds. He does not get the credit he deserves. I should have maybe clarified.... I suggested SDM for humour value. I suggested David Holmes because much as though my post possibly doesn't suggest it, he is someone I would happily take back at Ibrox. David Holmes absolutely does not get the cedit he deserves. I guess what I am saying is I agree with you, and my original post was intended to suggest David Holmes as the type of person we SHOULD be aiming for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It'll take a lot more than Longmuir on his own. If he's merely being proposed as a fig leaf then what's the point? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that he was actually a Morton supporter 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I heard that he was actually a Morton supporter Doesn't bother me. He was a very good CEO for us. A man of vision and integrity, honesty - would do for me, regardless of who he supports. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
