Tannochsidebear 2,322 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It is a complete mystery totally out of left-field. Some clarity would be welcome, given the amount of scum we have had inching their way in before. Not casting dispertions as I have never heard of him and happy to give the benefit of the doubt if only for paying off MASH, but even a wee interview as to who it was that brought Rangers (and the availability of MASH's shares) to his attention would suffice. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Wolhardt said, “I am delighted to become an RIFC shareholder. I have a long held love for Scotland and football and I am keen to see Rangers FC unlock its considerable commercial potential. With the successful restructuring of the retail operations, RIFC is now on a firm financial footing and I look forward to being a part of its exciting future.” https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/chairmans-welcome/ Edited June 23, 2017 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Works at Morgan Stanley Asia? Maybe not AJ who put him onto us then more likely that other guy who worked there. Taylor was it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
