Walter what is he up to clearing the way for the return of Green ?

[maverick1200 2,990]

I can't see Green coming back. He has already moved his share to a private equity firm. Plus he only wanted to CEO in the short term initially.

[Marco Negri's Beard 1,423]

I did not read the full article, but two days ago Craig Mather said he and Walter had spent the flight time and then after they got to Germany time with Ally sorting out the way forward, which was good to hear. But now through the f*****g Record Walter tells us he is now ready to step down. To be fair he probably did say that it would not be long term, but he has only been our chairman for a few months and although most of us knew Walter did not have the financial background to do the job, this seems like more boardroom turmoil again.

To be fair, he doesn't say he's 'about to step down' - merely that he doesn't want the job long term

[Edmiston Drive 3,846]

Yet i'm really not sure how cut out he was for the job.

His track record in the world of Investment suggests he was , plus strange that as he leaves the company that took as to the share issue and AIM have also gone.

The only thing I can think of that perhaps an unknown ego emerged when he to stock of the fact that as a fan he was sitting at the head of the Board of Directors..........egos are dangerous things if people get a sniff of the adulation.

Green has made his money and has been well rewarded therefore no requirement for him to return

I think it was more Green that always wanted Murray to leave mate.

Not a very good choice of words on my part, but he is saying he is not capable of doing the job, so how long do we as fans want him to be there ? I will add I like Walter, but he should never have become our chairman IMO.

Yet he brought him to the Board and gave him the position of non exec Chairman.

[bump 168]

a story out of the daily record,why would we think that this article has any truth in it :wanker:

Aye but fall outs can happen over time.

Would hope that they are trying to identify his successor now, they are gonna need to find a superstar to please everybody.

[bawsburst 1,381]

If and when Walter bails out how exposed does and will that leave Alistair if things are patchy or even not.

[Edmiston Drive 3,846]

Indeed they can.......and perhaps the ego came to life re murray thinking he's the bees knees....................that is the one reason I would dread a fan plucked from nowhere and put on the board.

Fair enough mate, wasn't having a go and not sure I'm entirely keen on Walter as chairmen for all the same reasons. Just didnt want to give ammo to the exaggeration-merchants on here who love egging up a drama

He has to stand or fall on results, and with the players brought in we want more than the League and please no Ramsden Cup comments please.

Spot on Bud...............I know exactly what/who you mean

We could install a higher being, with perfect morals and unlimited wealth as chairman and plenty of folk wouldn't be happy.

[The Educator 1,572]

If as you see he's happy to walk away with his money(and have no problems with him doing that) he will most certainly not be happy re share price.

If he has a locked in deal with the Easdale brothers for the sale of his shares they will have agreed a price and that won't be affected by the changes in share price between the agreement being made and completed when he is officially allowed to complete the deal.

[bluegecko 306]

Few things from this article..............at last all the fans that shouted Walter is a business man as he had companies.........yes you can be the money behind the pubs but that as Walter has admitted does not a businessman make.

Also just about everyone on here for the last few years(longer for some) have been screaming to have that paper out the door of Ibrox......now we have that father of the four priests wedding guests over with the team in Germany and Walter giving interviews.........what's happened to the ..........don't believe a word unless it comes for the official site!!

And to scarkev.................CG offered Walter the Chairmans post a year ago............so why have you even mentioned CG in this thread Bud?

I wish he had listed the huge strides he is talking about.............is this on the playing side or in financial strength of the Ltd Co as he has hinted that we need money fro the next step................so will they becoming to the fans again or will it be shareholders being offered more shares................the crap that has been going on I can't see any institutional investors making a move.

To be fair the whole point of the post was about Green if you read the title

That heading is a new one .

we shouldn't dismiss everything they say out of hand either - look where that has got us in the past.

[Resting in my account 231]

He should have stayed in retirement and things would be a lot different today.

Now, that is what I call Fishing................

[bawsburst 1,381]

I am certain Green will return, we will see cataclysmic changes in the club structure and business model, my Yorkshire kin get to hear things not very often wrong.

Great, so what did they tell you about his statements on the Dallas Cowboys, Man Utd and our joining the English leagues?
