I concur re the PR and Communication failure it's something that puzzles me how can so clearly intelligent, highly successful businessmen not "get it"?

 

There is a world of difference in the remits of Robertson as Managing Director and Lawwell when he was Chief Executive, it really isn't comparing apples with apples.

The difference in remits was what I was getting at.

 

IMO, when you take the political manouvering / influencing part of what was Lawwell's remit that doesn't appear to be Robertson's bag and you add the lack of professional and competent PR/Communication....it leaves a significant and important hole in our structure.

 

The results of which have been all too obvious for a long time.

That's quite a tangent you've gone off on there. Weir's job at Brighton is more akin to Ross Wilson's at Rangers miles way from Robertson's brief t Ibrox.

Even if I've gone of on  a tangent, my last point remains - there will be people out there who would improve or operations and communications. May not be Davie Weir, but there will be others.

 

I believe Davie Weir could do the job better than the current incumbents (well we don't have anyone doing comms). 

 

The board take great credit for gaining control of the club but that doesn't negate criticism for failings I  operation and comms, nor the requirement to improve on the skill sets of those currently overseeing these parts of the business.

I've been banging on about the PR and Communication for years so we're singing from the same hymn sheet in that respect.

 

No Board should be immune from criticism and this is one area where it's absolutely merited.

 

Weir is clearly more intelligent than your average footballer as university degrees are hardly two a penny in that particular sphere but I doubt he's what we need at present.

Lawwell was a Dictators Dictator all powerful and answerable to one man. We have a collegiate structure than relies on the MD reporting to a Board and that Board reaching a consensus. Lawwell was virtually autonomous.

Aye, but the problem is that our structure / executives (remit/competence) doesn't cover some important areas.

 

If the board as a whole can't see this or act on it, then that is the problem.

Pretty sure I recall Martin Bain being described in those very terms numerous times 

But for the wrong reasons.

 

Souness, on the other hand …….

Problem was that Bain was called this and that by our support. The other side of the city just laughed at him.

Bain was orange but not in the right way.

I'm not convinced that is indeed the case.

Fair enough but how would you describe the shortcomings, their roots and how it plays out going forward ?
