bassettger 380 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Key question is have the directors been taking money out of the club to, for example, repay loans rather than converting them to shares. Totally unacceptable and not in accord with the buisness model. If this is the case the chairman needs to go. Regarding player trading we have spent £11M and accrued £38M potentially rising to £50M on player sales. Thats a big gap. Lets not confuse the issue with when we receive the cash, how much we spend on non-football activities, the cash delivered from the Euro run and qualifying for the CL. Balancing the books is why we employ Stewart Robertson at a not insignificant salary plus bonus. The board have not implemented the buisness model which suggests we should have spent at least another £27M and have delivered a set of B team players for the manager. Not sure I would trust Ross Wilson to deliver A team signings but that is a different issue. Serious questions need asked about their failure to implement the buisness model.

Said they are responsible for coming up with solutions and in over a year they have failed to do so. Another excuse is the stadium itself. Never, ever the boards fault with anything. Who are TRF? They have carried out various scenarios regarding increasing stadium capacity, it is not difficult to commission a consultancy to come up with proposals for consideration to best suit a section of the support rather than thinking how to squeeze in more corporate clients.

STEPPS BOY 74,903 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 John Bennett is probably the best orator we have at the club and deserves a massive amount of respect for investing and continuing to invest. Todays interview just confirms the chasm between those that run the club and the fans. We’ll have another couple of puff piece interviews before AGM and then they’ll disappear again. plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Upon reflection I am not very disappointed with what Bennet said. Not every penny can be reinvested on players. Infrastructure also need addressed and that takes significant amounts of money. I agree with that. The board are custodians of the club and have to take the longer picture into mind. That's their remit. Bennet speaks well but he could have said more. plymouthranger, paul73 and JCDBigBear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending £11m on what is now just a vanity with little return on the investment, wasting £7m because the board fucked up with SD, all the while penny pinching on squad development.

Sums this board up. Failed to invest properly, screwing every last penny from the fan base. We need fresh blood at board level. This current lot, while they did rescue the club, are a busted flush I am sorry to say. They do not have the resources required to take Rangers to the next level.

Will he address the club completely ignoring all fans who couldn’t make it to Seville and will some cunt inform him that our 150 birthday is going by without any serious recognition.

bluenoz 31,203 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 That interview is all bluster and mealy-mouthed. Everything you would expect from a board member who never played the game. Billy Bragg once wrote... " There is no real substitute for a ball stuck firmly and squarely. " Only a footballer knows what that means and Bennett ain't one.
