Regan wants Wallace to sort Rangers Finances.

[gogzy 31,195]

From The Scotsman:

'SFA chief executive Stewart Regan has backed his counterpart at Rangers, Graham Wallace, to get the club back on a sound financial footing, admitting that he hopes the remedial work at Ibrox is successful for the sake of Scottish football.

Wallace has undertaken a 120-day business review charged with establishing ways to plug the holes that are resulting in monthly losses that may be as high as £1 million. This week the former Blackburn Rovers chief operating officer hired Philip Nash, who was financial director at Liverpool for five years until last February, as a consultant.

Regan said yesterday he had met Wallace at matches and spoken to him informally on numerous occasions since his arrival at Ibrox in November. Their next correspondence could be of the formal variety, as all SFA member clubs must submit audited accounts to Hampden by 31 March as part of their application for a licence for next season.

The SFA tried to help Rangers after the oldco went into liquidation in June 2012 by recommending to the now-defunct SFL that the new incarnation of the club be granted permission to re-enter the game in the second, rather than fourth, tier. That plea fell on deaf ears but Regan remains acutely aware of the value to the product he oversees of a Rangers resurgence.

“As far as Rangers’ position is concerned, clearly there is a lot of work that Graham Wallace is putting in place to get the club back to a stronger place and I sincerely hope he’s successful, as it’s good for Scottish football to have the club back on a firm financial footing,” said Regan yesterday.

“He needs all the support he can get to get that in place. It’s a big challenge. But Rangers together with the other 41 clubs in the SPFL will go through the audit process. The audit takes place at the back end of the year and they then have a licensing meeting at the back end of March and by 31 March they have to have submitted all the audited management accounts and so on in order to comply.

“We’ll wait and see what comes in. I know Graham’s got a big job on and I hope he can get the success that he obviously requires. We’ve spoken to Graham in the way you would speak to most of the clubs that have got challenges ahead of them, and I’ve seen him at games. So we’ve had an opportunity to talk about some of the challenges he faces. You can’t underestimate the work he’s got ahead of him.”'

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

Wonder what planet some people are on

Most tims reckon the SPL, SFA and media all bent the rules to help us at every turn - genuinely

Wtf

[72barca 1,788]

Go take a flying leap Regan. Pay us back the millions of pounds you stole from us and we'll be just fine, thank you very much. Multi-faced snake.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Got this far 'The SFA tried to help Rangers.

Yes and Josef Mengele's experiments were aimed at helping the Jewish population.

Regan is a lying bastard and in a couple of years the bheasts will turn this into a 'fact' that the SFA helped Rangers.

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

The tarriers already have it down as fact and they are world class at turning stuff into fact when it suits

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Yes and making 'pesky facts' disappear when it doesn't suit their agenda. Sadly many fall for their lies and obfuscation.

ways to plug the holes that are resulting in monthly losses that may be as high as £1 million.

Based on what? Our first year accounts? Repeat often enough...

[JMac_88 310]

Based on what? Our first year accounts? Repeat often enough...

We have no idea what Cost Cutting measures are being made at the moment....

Everything we read in regards to cutting the playing team is pure press speculation at the moment,

We have no idea what Wallace has said to McCoist in this regard. But I would imagine other aspects would be getting looked at before.

'that the new incarnation of the club'

really?

[corkinator 611]

I wouldn't tell that useless cunt a thing! The les "informal" chats he's involved in the less liewell knows

[thehost 11,061]

this the guy who knows nothing about the old firm despites having ties to liewell before taking the job

this the guy who knows nothing about the religious overtones of rangers and celtic despite his brother holding a doctorate and writing on the subject of the "troubles" from a very pro nationalist perspective

this the guy who was hired via a company who john "sexpest" reid's son worked for

this the guy who took advice from paul "spwiwiwiwit live on" McBride

this the guy who hired Vincent lunny

this the guy who was party to illegal sanctions being meted out to RFC

this the guy who has set up an "integrity line" and hired a "usual subject"

in short is this the guy that our CEO should be fully informed about and be advised that he certainly contains enough "DNA" to be regarded as "sellick minded" as defined by kheevins

Rangers want Reagan to go and fling shite at the moon.

[bluenose1975 1,287]

[kaiser1041 9,088]

A slight bit of revisionism going on there..

Im delighted the leaks have stopped. Our club was like a sieve not too long ago.

This. Such "facts" are swept away and ignored by a compliant schottish mhedia. As another poster said a wee bit of historical revisionism by a slimy shady wee stooge.

[DAVIE8CH 296]

Basically what he is saying, we need a strong Rangers to save Scottish football, should have thought of that before you were brainwashed by liewell and his cabal to boot us hard and often as you could. Fack them

[tollboy-noey 50]

Mr Wallace ,take regans comments with a bag of salt.

Tried to help Rangers? lying barsteward.

[Jimmyblue9 24]

the sfa tried to help rangers ......

The new incarnation of the club.the scotsman.

Arseholes.

[NixonRFC 1,309]

The whole trying to help Rangers is a bit of a myth, you hear it peddled out because they did try and bully teams into letting us into SFL1, also if you believe the myth we should also never have got out licence so should have started lower than SFL3 but the fans we have were to vital to the economical structure of our game.

Look at tge SFL1 suggestion, that wasn't put forward because they wantd to help us, it was put forward to help themselvs, they wanted us back in the SPL ASAP for sponsorship and yhe TV deal and because of a fear that us not being there could potentially hurt other menber clubs, it was for many reasons but helping us seems a tad disingenuous.

[Trialist 80]

Its all very well stating the facts about SFA anti Rangers decisions in the past, however we as a club have shown zero apetite for taking anyone to task about inaccuracies, illegal decisions, sectarian anti Gers bloggers, double standards etc etc .

The club tends to favour a 'no comment' approach rather than take on its enemies face to face.

Wallace will need to build relationships with the SFA and SPFL authorities, and I cannot blame him for that. I hope however that we flex our muscles when the time is right, and that we do not forgive or forget those who would have seen us become extinct.
