trueblueal 2,117 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 He seems to have the credentials and I'm very hopeful. I wonder if his hiring an outside financial consultant means he doesn't trust our board (Stockbridge specifically) to give him straight and accurate answers.I must admit I was a little disappointed with the handling of the cuts proposal. Lee mcCulloch should not have been left to address his team mates. Wallace should have spoke to the group himself. It also looked a little desperate. Better to have quietly sought clubs for the underachievers than have this public debacle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 How can we FULLY trust someone we hardly know? It will be a long time before I even tentatively trust a director never mind fully trust one without any evidence to suggest he warrants such faith.

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Unfortunately I have lost the ability to trust anyone on or near our board but that won't affect the way I support my team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 358 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 How can we FULLY trust someone we hardly know?Nothing would surprise me these days.

skullery 240 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 WTF are you talking about? How can you put a spin on a £14m loss? The spin at Rangers was monumental , director bonuses for this 14m loss proves that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Using "bent" sounds like defamation to me. If I was Stockbridge (which I am not) I would be referring this to FoCUS. And, by the way, can a CEO dismiss a properly elected director? I think not but am open to correction with proof, not just "because MM says so ".

Bad Robot 21,149 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It's far too early in his Rangers tenure to trust him never mind trusting him 100%. However on the face of it he probably is the man who will get us back where we belong but I just hope he is there long enough and we don't get any nasty surprises.
