simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Dont think so mate, seems a good move imo, but i cant understand us now having 5 Finance guys if you count Wallace as well as he was also a CFO with Man City.No expert on the usual quota tbh but consultants generally aren't on much money are they?

gogzy 31,195 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 For all we know this guy is on a commision for any sponsorship, or investment he can bring in.If he is being brought in to focus on securing investment, then that can only be a good thing for Rangers yes?None of us know exactly why he is here, or what wage he is on, so lets not go nuts yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bighouse 1,012 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Why do we need to bring in another outsider on a substantial wage to point out the obvious and help us cut costs? At the rate were going we'll end up with more consultants than actual playing staff ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bighouse 1,012 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 you know what his wage will be aye?No, but unless its voluntary work it'll be too much. We could pluck any punter off the street and they could just as easily let the board know how to save money.Step 1: Cut their own salaries.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Seems to me that we've been appointing some guys who have a pretty solid football background.If they can bring in money and stabilise the club I cannot grudge them a wage.

SteveJ 743 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I knew some fans would go on a rant about money etc. but I actually think this is clever. We need investment, badly, but this might also be a blinding move by the investors to bed a new finance guru in, before seeing BS out the door.

This guy was lauded for getting Liverpool their Standard Charter sponsership, but I think expecting us to get the same is pie in the sky at the present time.

californiadreamin52 339 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 safety in numbers but which one is looking over Stockbridge`s shoulder Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac_88 310 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I personally see this as a good appointment, due to his somewhat successful past with Arsenal & Liverpool.Although i do not see the reason behind having a few people overseeing the cost cutting, unless he will be the person trying to broker new commercial deals, I don't remember anyone being appointed in that capacity since Imran left & to possibly inject a different outlook on some decisions being made between Stockbridge & Wallace.But it does come down to what his duties will be going forward... Which like others have said above no-one truly knows due to the Club not mentioning it in any official capacity apart from a source at the moment. I also doubt a consultant to the board would be on a hefty wage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I get the feeling he's in to look at the commercial operation and sponsorship.It seems to be a strength of his.If he can help us squeeze the most out of this side of things he'll be value for money. I doubt even he could generate a million shirt sales and bring in £33 million though!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
