The Beast 9,246 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 When the dust settles and hopefully McCoist has gone, I'd like there to be a role for Gordon Smith at Ibrox. If we go down the "continental" route and have a DoF he would be a top candidate.His open letter in the Sunday Post was a revelation, not that he was saying anything that we were not all thinking but that he had the stones to publish it.He's got the business and SFA CEO background, he'd satisfy those that insist on a Rangers connection and he's obviously more in touch with the fans than all the "Ally pals" who have spoken out in his defence in the media.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nothing in his experience that suggests he would be a capable DOF.Surely if we go down that route it should be open applications? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe he'd tick all or most of the right boxes.Smith was/is a successful agent and was CEO of the SFA, he obviously is a capable administrator and knows the transfer market. What more qualifications would be required? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast 9,246 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 He was DoF at Rangers alreadyFor 5 minutes and he was not allowed to perform as such by Whyte. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LochendBilly 8,416 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Is that not what he is fishing for? He may be a good bet for it, but let's wait and see if we can afford him or an even better candidate if any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be a good bet for it, but let's wait and see if we can afford him or an even better candidate if any.Possibly. But why not.Those that bleat about a Rangers man being involved couldn't complain.Smith is a Rangers man but not a "Rangers man" if you know what I mean.I believe Llambias (sp?) is going to be the next CEO btw.

JR 1,480 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd like him back in some capacity, not sure about DoF tho. A position of some Board authority would be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejay the dj 31,964 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Not sure he would come back and I'm sure he would be reluctant after his treatment under cunt face .I quite like him but I'm unsure as he still has too many friends in the BBC .He would instantly be building bridges with the enemies and I'm not sure I like that .

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I read on another Rangers fans site, can't remember which one, but it is anti-board, pro-Ally, that Mark Hately was going round the staff, asking questions about Ally, to see if he could get anything dirty on him, that the board could use as leverage to get Ally out as cheaply as possible.Don't know if it's true or not, but hope it isn't true, as it's a terrible way to do business.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,202 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Not for me thanks. If we end up with a DOF when this shambles is over down then it needs somebody who's proven themselves in a similar role before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
