aird 3,809 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Was John Bennett not responsible from bringing some of the Hong Kong investors? Maybe he's got a plan to bring some more in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,752 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 A bit meh tbh, good investor/business and Rangers man no doubt, mediocre leadership at best with no actual vision beyond #55. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's thinking if its to pay running costs then where the fuck did we spend all the income so far this season He's usually quite regimental with this stuff and doesnt let emotions show, so for him to publicly show it this time is strange MacBoyd, Bluekev and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett was the only communicator and he only does it once a year before the AGM. Don't see anyone happy to see him step down but we haven't lost him at all, he is still the 2nd biggest shareholder and continues to invest today. It will be interesting to see who steps upto vice chairman and then who comes onto the boardroom MacBoyd and surfsup2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 14,295 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Invested heavily in the club, a fan as well. In my opinion he's tried to put the long term future of the club on a good footing, which will make him unpopular in some people's eyes (too cautious) as we want to see big money spent on transfers rather than just on infrastructure. Goes with my thanks and hopefully we can grow the club even more now. KeyserSoze, graeme_4, Assegai and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
