theiconicman 3,000 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Why the need for Philip Nash though?Exactly what does Andrew Dickson, Ken Olverman and Mr Stockbridge jobs entail?I think it is a pretty clear vote of no confidence in Andrew and Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,115 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Well said mr wallace.Categorically no admin 2.And the salary reduction is part of a wider strategy.Can we all calm down a bit now and give this guy and the board a bit of breathing space...

RockwellGers 14,759 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think it is anymore? And you see most fans on here saying they don't touch that paper or give its website hits, he could've possibly given a generic statement/response and released it to the MSM, I suppose in fairness it is just a Q&A and Jackson hasn't been allowed any "artistic licence".Of course folk on here generally don't bother with papers, but that's only a small percentage of Rangers fans. I've worked with plenty who hear nothing about their club outside the rags, BBC news, STV news etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy millar 107 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Financial prudence at last.Let`s support this guy.Investors will be more inclined to come forward in the belief that the club is being run in a professional manner.We need to take the long term view and believe that Wallace will have us back in the premier or whatever it`s called the season after next with a club that will be able invest.

joeli 27 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It would have been more sensible to show that the cost cutting was starting at the top.I think we need to engage some PR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIE8CH 296 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 didn,t get involved last night in the frenzy regarding the issue. now we have an explanation from our chairman, which in the cold light of the day makes sense to see if the playing staff would be willing to a cut in salary. now 2 concerns the leak yesterday and he choice of paper for the explanation.

Bad Robot 21,451 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It's great he has come out immediately and said his piece which will alleviate some of the fears but why using the DR who clearly have an agenda against us?Is he out of touch with the normal fans and should he be cascaded for it as others have in the not so distant past?*I think he will be good for our club.

Ferdasyn 431 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 What confuses me is how many people complain about the wages we are paying our players, and demand something is done about it. When Mr Wallace identifies this problem and sets out trying to address it everyone goes to panic stations.Our wage bill (playing or otherwise) is far too high. If you don’t ask you don’t get. Hopefully those upstairs enter into similar discussions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Cuts should have started with the board seen as they earn more than the players !Do they? According to last years accounts, Stockbridge earned £179,170 (for 13 months btw). Divided that by 52 and it's roughly £3445 a week he gets. I'm willing to bet many players earn far more than him.Edit: It's actually less because it wouldn't be divided by 52 it would be divided by about 56 as it's 13 months.

So using the dr will target that audience while it still getting seen on the internet, so doing one interview will target more than it would with the official site Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
