buster. 4,808 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sidenote (sic) ... Let’s be honest, you wouldn’t trust this lot with the telly remote control. ... must be Keith Jackson then (yes, it is). The very same who had an open interview with Sandy Easdale last week. Wonder what the latter thinks of such reporting. As for the rest ... all we can do is take it in, sit back and anticipate/dread the show unfolding. Whilst it is your right, do you not feel any shame in criticising the opinion or 'judgement call' of others ? ----------------------------------------------------------------- .

Zappa 0 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think Jackson's whole premise that those six men are the key individuals who have six weeks to save the club is flawed from the outset, so it's not exactly a good start. Somers, Crighton & the bus bros will probably do next to nothing while a lot of work gets done by Wallace, Nash and the company broker & NOMAD Daniel Stewart & co. There's countless less well known staff at the Club who'll be working their butts off trying to help in any way they can, while guys like Somers, Crighton & the bus bros just drop in for the odd game of footy and the free hospitality. Succulent lamb? Ooooh yaaah! Jolly hockey sticks old boy! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AuldBear Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Why should Dave King (or anyone else) bail out the faceless investors who do nothing for the club? Time to force these charlatans out of our club or this bus will just keep rolling along going nowhere 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Succulent lamb? Ooooh yaaah! Jolly hockey sticks old boy! I think it's because Crighton, Easdale etc represent the various power blocks among the shareholders. Wallace and Nash can come up with all the plans they want but if the powers behind the scenes don't agree with them, then they won't get implemented. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,263 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Right up until his King delusions, it was. Long on analysis, short on action. Encouraged supporters not to buy ST's then disappeared. Will we ever hear from DK again? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crighton & Easdale might not technically do much, but they certainly do have important votes when it comes to decision making time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 McMurdo's blog today. Oh dear ... http://billmcmurdo.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/wallace-to-go-in-boardroom-changes/ Wallace To Go In Boardroom Changes September 8, 2014 / billmcmurdo Divisions in the Rangers board will mean big changes in personnel in the near future. My understanding is that Graham Wallace no longer has the backing or confidence of the majority of shareholders and that he is on his way out. Along with others from Rangers Supporters Loyal, I met with Graham Wallace a few months ago and found him to be a no-nonsense, fairly approachable guy. One of the things I found refreshing was his statement that he wasn’t a Rangers man. I had and have no issue with this. For me, being a big bluenose could actually be a minus in a job with such responsibility.. I just appreciated his honesty. A few months down the road and Wallace is no longer regarded as the man to lead Rangers off the field as far as shareholders are concerned. Many Gers fans have lost faith in him, though it has to be said that others still think he is doing a decent job. I am aware that Wallace has been at odds with other directors on the way forward for the club. Apparently Wallace was the lone supporter on the board of the present rights issue as the board favoured an alternative and far more lucrative funding option. Wallace’s alignment with Dave King and the South African-based businessman’s plans to take control of Rangers has helped to distance him from the regime. As I blogged recently, he has been “Matherised” and is thought to lack the ruthlessness necessary to drive forward with necessary changes in the club. A glimpse at the fan forums reveals that fans view him as weak and incompetent in terms of curbing spending on the squad. The pressure on Wallace to be a strong, broad-shouldered leader is enormous and it looks like his own quieter approach has failed. The present situation calls for a man of the people who will take crap from no-one and who will engage everybody boldly. Wallace’s technocratic approach to things means he tries to manage from his desk and ignore things more than is advisable. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that what Rangers need is for Graham Wallace to be a bit more like Charles Green at times. The opposite could also be said, of course – that at times Charles Green could have done with being more like Graham Wallace. It’s easy to make Wallace the scapegoat for all of Rangers’ troubles but that would be both unfair and inaccurate. We are not talking about some dumpling here. Wallace is well-thought of down south in the game and his resume is very impressive. Having said that, for a CEO to allow himself to be associated with people who are rivals to his employers is not clever and he only has himself to blame. This Rangers board is crying out for a leader who will engage with fans – both supportive and recalcitrant ones – and a hostile media, as well as generate revenues and keep a tight limit on costs. A tall order but it is what the club desperately needs. As far as Wallace’s replacement is concerned, I understand the smart money is on David Longmuir – a man who knows Scottish football inside out and who understands what fans want. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
