Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If this means BS is for the off, then this is a great opportunity to heal some of the damage done. Hopefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,281 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Do you think they will replace a director, who is a financial director (presumably on a contract) with a consultant?Probably not, but it's not uncommon for these guys to be "consultants" for tax reasons.We had a CEO recently who was a contractor.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Would you expect our current money man to walk away for free?Even if he is not leaving then this is money being taken away from Staff, playing staff etc. you just keep spinning any and every board story to suit yourself and your rebel pals agendas. Of course he wont do it for free and even if hes on the same salary as b.s atleast this new guy comes with a good record at 2 top clubs in world football.Then again im sure you would still prefer paul monkey or whatever his name is.

Hendry 4 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Impressive cv with 2 of the big 5 english clubs.Be interesting to see how he gets on at a club like ours that lacks the massive income generated from sky tv.Must be curtains for stockbridge but how much of a pay off will he get?

North Rd 2,860 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Olverman is the last remnant of the Craig Whyte era is he not?Im shocked this guy is still on our payroll, he was the guy who hid accounts on the instructions from Whyte, and could have blown the whistle when Greig and McLelland left....

Hendry 4 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Don't think for a minute Stockbridge will be leaving still plenty of work for him to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Valley 234 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Olverman is the last remnant of the Craig Whyte era is he not?Yes but I don't know if he was there prior to Whyte. In that position he would have been well aware of the non-payment of VAT etc. I imagine he would have been following instructions not to make the payments. I could imagine that would be very damaging to your reputation and if it was me I would have resigned rather than hang around waiting for the administrators.

TheQueensEleven 1,355 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 This point is critical and we've got to page four before it has been raised.As a consultant, he'll be paid on a project-by-project basis, NO basic salary, no pay-offs if and when he moves on.Seems like the kind of heavyweight a club ours should have on board.Still want Stockbridge out ASAP though.He left Liverpool due to family reasons, so he may not take be up for becoming a board member. However, if he's open to it, it would be good to see Wallace evaluate him while he's working as a consultant and see Stockbridge out the door and bring him in if he does a good job.

bigblueyonder 11,156 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Ok salaries aside, we've now got two top guys from the biggest clubs in the EPL. This is surely a good sign no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Educator 1,572 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 So let me get this straight, we have to make cut backs across the board including the playing squad and then we go and higher a consultant to do what our Financial Director should be doing.

BlueAvenger 10,331 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (If true) Why is Oliverman still involved with our club and presumably getting paid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wallace is a true professional & he obviously thinks he needs a more experienced commercial man on board to drive Ranger's revenue streams. Phil Nash has an excellent CV, I think Wallace will get it right long term.The current board plus Phil Nash as a consultant probably represents the best management team we've ever had but they need time & stability.Hmmm.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Slightly odd to hire a consultant to cut costs i wish he was replacing Stockbridge tbh. As for Olverman i too feel uneasy about him im sure shyte hired him and that alone is enough to want him gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil1418 60 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Surely the board should make an announcement regarding his appointment and his position/responsibility within the company. What's happened to keeping clarity with the fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
