On his way home to Sweden, from Italy, to retire due to injury. Gets a call saying Rangers want to sign you on a fortune.
Could have been a Rolls Royce for us if he was in anyway fit.
-
hardly think any one who does not have a vested interest, eg ego pant squad wont get a lookin, and if they spout pish and lies the club will sue them
Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that?
-
omg yet another usual insult......think we should agree that I'm right and you wrong. You have thrown every insult that comes from the rebels at me today..............so trying to catch River City just now so might be late in getting back to you
Right you are. Ready to listen to your explanations on all these accusations any time. Make sure and DM me a note when you do it so I don't miss it. You've got me genuinely intrigued now.
Is that program not 'utter drivel' personified by the way?
-
nothing wrong with our board, mini,indy and blin can get tae fuck, they aint wanted or needed, but i will wait for the accounts to prove me right, that will all sink the ego pant tricksters
Your opinion.
As a point on the accounts; I am sure that both 'sides' will be able to find justification for their position within the audited accounts. I know these accounts are being held up as an absolute insight in to the business. They wont be.

Naw and you now fine what I'm getting at.....you fuckers need to change your insults. At least be truthful.
Are you mental?
-
Only if it's true, then again you haven't said as to why you post as you do. And your posts are filled with the usual drivel that emanates from people that the not so wee jabs are directed at.
Your 'usual drivel' and 'rebel' nonsense makes you sound paranoid and more than a little silly. Need I remind you that this is a forum and not everyone will agree with you. That does not make their points drivel and it does not make them any less or more of a Rangers supporter than you.
Wasn't really for you to get t, more as to judge you by your reply...................just tell the truth as to why you post as you do.
What in the actual fuck does 'post as you do' mean? I post my opinion should I choose to share it or if I think I have a relevant/interesting point to add to a thread.

AIM is well below his status,and he would get bored in a nano second, rangers is 1 account, he was used to running hundreds if not thousands of multi billion client accounts, as a said he coming because hes retired or maybe pricecooper were re-shuffling, and if the later is the case we dont need a high powered ego trip on the board
As I indicated I can only speculate on his reasons as to wanting to come on board (pardon the pun).
From what people have told me an ego trip is not what we need worry about with Blin.
That being said, every situation brings up its own complexities. As of right now? I think he would be an asset on a Board that looks to be woefully out of its depth.
-
I apologise I forgot to answer this...."wee jab" I can assure you and many will back this up, I never do wee jabs re the people you are talking about re wee jabs.
Those forums that can the anything but wee jabs are nothing but disruptive rebels(you called that word cute
) and are nothing short of an embarrassment.................see I tell the truth as to my points I make............now please tell me what the story is with you.What do you mean what the story is with me? You mean you want me to answer more in depth than I already did on the other thread?
As for the rest of that post I literally do not know what it means.
-
Now now calm down............boss of the forum fud you like.............I merely post my thoughts on here and did I not respond to your questions Y/N
Yes, you did. With answers (sort of) containing such things as 'usual drivel', 'ask them to explain that one to you', 'script writers' and 'you are coming away with claptrap'. As I said, insulting.
-
blin may be ftse 500 pedigree, what does he want to medle in aim football club for?
Not sure to be honest. I believe he has retired from PWC hasn't he? Might be looking for a fresh challenge? Might know Jim McColl and/or Paul Murray and/or other concerned investors and have been asked to get involved.
Important to note; I do not think he is the answer to all our problems. But, will address Corporate Governance concerns and will certainly be a 'safe pair of hands'.
-
Have I really now then , tell me again how you first approached/replied to me.
I asked you a bunch of questions if I am not mistaken?
btw please don't bring your crying game onto the forum, it's a forum and you really need to sit and ask yourself.............can I take it if people question my posts.
Yet another trait that emanates from certain sections of the fanbase.
What are you the boss of this forum as well as the moral authority on all that is Rangers? You must be incredibly busy. How do you keep both sides of your duplicitous personality in check?
You start to screech because some replies with insults and then when you are called out for the self same behaviour you stamp your feet and say 'its a forum people will disagree'. Is it really? Will they really? Can you fill me in on this phenomenon that is an Internet message board? I am just so very, very lost.
Then you clue it all up with your wee jab at one forum or another. And, you have the utter gall to suggest that others are divisive in our support.

are you jim bowman
Nah mate. I am the guy from Bullseye, Jim Bowen.
-
I ask you a question and you reply with insults, if someone else had claimed the victim card I would have played it for that reply..............just please reply to the point I put to you, if you don't know there's no shame in saying so.
You have been replying with insults and innuendo to my points and opinions all day.

He's a self made millionaire who has earned his cash and invested in Rangers - cash he made from a sports management company - seems well qualified - and hired by the board who did look externally ( a question asked and answered in the recent public q&a session)
But I note no expaination as to why the board should be replaced?
Overall Craig Mather seems to know his stuff and done a decent job - so why replace him?
You think Mather 'knows his stuff'? Ehm, on what evidence exactly? Do you think there might be a hint of conflict of interest in the owner of a sports management company running a football team?
Sorry, mate didn't realize we were on to discussing the Board as whole. If you want to know my thoughts on the Board they are on the thread about 'not needing Blin etc'. At work just now so don't have time to debate it in full.
-
The two points are mistakes and we all make them ...
Paying for a stake is a step up from not paying and expecting a seat!
It really isn't though. How many credible companies have CEO's that have paid their way in to the position?
The position should be subject to a proper hiring process. Personally speaking I would like someone with a Commercial/Brand (or Business) Development background.
As for the other point, those are two pretty big mistakes. First 100 days and two mistakes like that? Without showing a great deal of strength in other areas of concern? I think your faith is admirable but not sure it is best placed.
-
Perhaps we should just play the same game and start calling the existing board 'the pirates'.
I reckon that they should all be named after Disney cartoons or gangs from The Warriors. Either or.
-
Whit school did ye go to?
Sacred Haaahhhhhahahahahaha.
-
Now you have explained yourself I am even less inclined to leave it - what reasons do you have for Mather not being CEO - he has stumped up cash, he has helped us develop a decent squad ? Against he hired media house ! I broadly support his initiatives and unless the accounts show something damming can't see why folk are against him - except for the requisitioning shareholders - and they have not given is the courtesy of saying why the changes are needed - perhaps you would be courteous enough to explain why you think he does not deserve to hold his position?
The handling of the Green fiasco and the 'renewal' of Jack Irvine's contract are two points alone that have shown him to be woefully out of his depth.
Paying for a stake in a business should guarantee you a spot on the Executive Committee? C'mon that is ridiculous.

what would paul murray add?
the answer, is of course, absolutely fuck all
In terms of skill set? Well, he was the MD of an investment arm of Deutsche Bank. So, I am sure he knows a little about a little. From what I have seen he is no less capable than our current FD.
From a Board structure point of view he 'evens things up'. Meaning that Blin is not just a dead duck sitting waiting to be plucked.
Personally, I think his inclusion may have become too divisive. I would have someone else in there beside Blin. But, I won't complain if he gets a role. I don't quite get the denigration of the man to be honest.
-
because you have at least two, if not three, disparate groups.
The only thing that will achieve is much deeper civil war.
No doubt that might happen.
But, there is also the chance that with the more divisive figures gone (Paul Murray aside) that it might be the start of something.
Especially given that Blin's real talent is Corporate Governance and taking the long view.
His inclusion in a fairly constructed Board might be the steadying influence all involved need.
Optimistic on my part, no doubt. But, could happen.
-
This would be the single worst thing to happen to RFC since Whyte.
Be worse even than David Murray.
Why? Out of interest.
-
I'd be pretty pissed off if our CEO did not sit on the board - how absurd to think otherwise!
It is actually not a bad thing, mate.
It can help ensure that Executive Committee performance is subject to a deeper level of scrutiny.
I should add that the way I would make up the Board would be two members of Executive Committee and three Non-Executive Board members.
The two ExecComm members would usually be the CEO and CFO. (Thought sometimes VP Legal/General Council may be on there).
-
Blin won't come for free.
Has anyone got any idea where we'll get the bish-bosh to pay this high flier?
Good question to be honest. It would be interesting to see what he gets paid. And, what his bonusable KPI's are.
-
I will take Blin on the board, mini me forget it and leave Craig Mathers as the CEO. The other board appointment I would like to see is Richard Gough, Captain during the NIAR years, past captain, intelligent, articulate and connections in Scotland, Sweden, South Africa and North America. Rangers blood running through his veins, He is also great with the fans and very approachable. BUT he does not suffer fools gladly. Just the type of footballing board member that I want
I would rather we bring Blin on to install serious Corporate Governance and lose the rest of them. I think Mather has gone too far now that he has renewed Irvine's contract. Hopefully, we can actually engage in a proper recruitment process and get in people of the highest calibre to take key executive positions. Where that leaves the Board and who is appointed is anybody's guess. But, I have seen enough from the current incumbents to know they are either out of their depth or bent.
) and are nothing short of an embarrassment.................see I tell the truth as to my points I make............now please tell me what the story is with you.
