For the support not to see this in a positive light is not something we’re comfortable with but what we want to get across is the reasons we’ve made this decision. We feel the supporters who are disappointed will be the same supporters who will demand this club be successful on the pitch and that’s what’s driven this decision. It is to give the best possible resources to the club to be successful and be competitive.” “I’m not naive to this,” Bisgrove added. “We are not going into this with out eyes closed. It is something that has unfolded in the last 24 hours. “The communications strategy was interesting in that it seemed to be leaked out of Australia [on Tuesday] and then another club confirmed their participation so we’ve come out and, rightly so, updated the Rangers fans from our perspective.” “The board of this club, the investors, the chairman, deputy chairman and the rest of the board are Rangers fans so they will be highly tuned in and they will be very receptive to the feeling and the feedback so there is no way they aren’t aware of this. “However, this was something that was looked at by the board and, for the reasons I explained, was seen as a positive opportunity and a very unique one. These aren’t the sort of offers that non-Champions League clubs are receiving every week. “It is circumstances that have come together from Australia where someting has been put on the table and has really been unlike anything we’ve seen before.” HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis 20,919 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 My Mrs had never heard of Rangers until a couple years ago and even she's baffled at the decision for this game to go ahead, these board members are meant to be lifelong Rangers fans can't see what a bad decision it is.

VanVeenRangers 2,572 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 To be fair Bisgrove wont get it fully. He will just see us as rivals. He came in during Gerrards first or second year? He wont know about the scums behaviour historically with us. JB is there to make money for us and i can see him being an outsider (not a bear growing up) why he'd jump at getting us 3m for 8 days. Despite what people think, we are on course to make profit and its down to him. He can do better eg kit deal but its 27m from commercial deals. Pre King we had about 4m in deals. The people to blame are the Rangers fans signing it off - The board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
