Prso's headband 36,831 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Rangers' managing director Stewart Robertson earned £233,000 in the last year, including a £53,000 bonus, as the club made a £3.3m loss. This is from the Herald, unfortunately but it is a bit shocking if it is true. Or maybe I have the wrong end of the stick? I thought Robertson, Gilligan etc were not taking any salary out the club? Or was that only for the first year or something? If this has any ounce of truth in it it means he is taking only 29k less than David Somers took... not exactly a glowing reference for the Rangers men.

harry handsome 629 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think it was only relevant to the originators, was he not headhunted to take over the role. That aside $233k per year for what, i see nothing inspiring coming from the man, not a dig as i don't know him just what i don't see. I look after more people and a higher value business but will never earn that kind of money - bonuses on losses should also never be paid.

King, Murray and the 3 Bears are not paid employees. Robertson was brought in to run the club as a paid employee. He's our equivalent of Lieswell.

Still to me £286k over the year is a bit steep. Especially when you compare it to what the old board were taking Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueal 2,117 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Here is there list of board members. None of whom earn a wage. https://rangers.co.uk/club/investor-centre/board/board-of-directors/ Over and above that we need employees to run the day to day. Robertson is full time, doesn't have secondary business interests and is the conduit between the board and staff. There is no story here. Robertson earns about one third of Lieswell.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 LIeswell takes home well over £1,000,000 per year. I am sure it is £1.3m Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 56,432 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 We probably have players at the club who contribute absolutely nothing but earn more than that per year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,831 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 It's all well and good saying it's much less than lawwell but it's only 29k less than what Somers took home (315k). It might be a poor salary for that position and it might be his only salary but I feel as if this board are getting an easy time of it from the majority of the support but when things like this cropped up under the previous regime it was anarchy.

Louden_Greg 827 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 There is no new information here. And Sommers was part time if you want to make that comparison. Also compare his wage to the combined salaries of Green and Stockbridge or Wallace and Nash (is that his name) , as he has taken on responsibility for both roles.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Considering we are going nowhere quickly he's getting a lot of money, and just what was the bonus for? If the bonus was for us winning the championship then I thought those days were supposed to be long gone and it's meant to be for his performance only not what the team win, and considering we are limping from loan to loan he deserves hee haw.

Theulstervolunteer 1,859 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 There is no doubt we are all disappointed that the squad needs funding and ATM it seems we do not have the necessary funds to do so...... realistically until res 11 is voted in favour of and a new share issue is raised plus the retail deal is sorted then we will be able to have fresh input into the club. The big issue seems to be the "30million" mentioned by King which up to now hasn't been mentioned since ....... but some of the personal abuse directed at some of our directors and staff on this forum is nothing short of pathetic at times ...... Paul Murrays hair , Gilligans naw a real fan, robertsons a wank this that and the next thing....... give it a rest . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
