So why would he be 'duty bound' to take on to the board and not the other? Could speak to the family of local ex-Gers like Sammy Baird or Bobby Brown and get permission to name a trophy after them. surely far more relevant to Rangers than being fluffers for Angefest? Wouldn't piss off a big chunk of the support either.

Because one was likely to be worth millions to the club, the other clearly isn’t 👍 But you know that fine well.

@The Dude the aussie friendly was a mistake but Bisgrove isn't doing his job if he doesn't take that opportunity to the board. His job is to bring in as much money as possible. It's then on the board to approve or decline it..

surely given how utterly ridiculous a suggestion it is, it's not even worth considering. Now it might cost us millions instead.

I’d argue that’s the fault of the ‘Rangers men’ in the club for not appreciating how the fans would react.

It’s Bisgrove’s job to grow revenues 👍

Anyway my point was your shit analogy, I didn’t come on to defend Bisgrove.

Surely given the ridiculousness of the suggestion it's rejected without as much as a second thought? It's not as if we were being offered game-changing sums of cash. If Bisgrove is just the middleman between anyone with a few quid and the board, what's the point of the (highly-paid) middleman??

Clearly it wasn't rejected tho as the board approved it, that's no on Bisgrove that's on The Rangers men around the boardroom table.

It is. It's also his job to sift through the nonsense and present reasonable offers to the board? Bisgrove is far from the only culprit, he is however the topic. Every single board member who approved that showed just how in tune they are with most 'Rangers men'.

But it should've been. It should never have got beyond: 'Fancy being Ange's Washington Generals' in Australia?' 'No'.

As I said I didn’t come on to defend Bisgrove, I’d have hoped there would have been enough common sense within the board to stop it going any further. Clearly that wasn’t the case.

Course it should of been but you can't blame Bisgrove for doing his remit mate. For me I would've expected better from the Rangers fans on the board.

His remit isn't to drag us into a PR nightmare that could now cost us millions.

Not be part of a Tarrier tour Which we are now getting sued for.

And what about the Ponzi schemes, one of which we still have on our strip or blanked out of our strip.

Mate we are going to go round in circles so agree to disagree but it's on Rangers supporting directors of our club to reject the Australian friendly. Not some commercial director doing his Job 

[OrangeRab 2,848]

This is the problem with promoting somebody without experience. Bisgrove probably just saw the short term numbers but didn’t have the capability or experience to think about the bigger picture. 

We can’t afford to have someone making similar decisions as top dog day in day out. 

(im guessing that he recommended the Australia trip to the board. It would be weird if he wasn’t asked his opinion or he presented a negative opinion and the board ignored their commercial director).

He's a commercial director mate his job is to bring as much money as possible  that's just a fact. We aren't going to agree so I'll leave It there

Why does it need to come down to 'Rangers supporting directors'? ANY director that thinks that was an appropriate offer to accept shouldn't be a director. Not being a Rangers fan doesn't mean you're a fucking moron.

[bluenoz 31,062]

The Aussie fiasco falls at the feet of Park Sr & Robertson. They are the ones who signed off on it. Bisgrove's job is to find the best marketing avenues for the club. He got that one wrong, and I'm sure has learned a valuable lesson in the history of our club. I have no idea if he makes a good CEO, but he has done a decent job in his current role. And for the record, innocent until proven guilty in both Elite and Aussie cases.

Park Sr is gone, and so is Wilson and now Robertson. Isn't that what we fans wanted?

Suppose some need someone to moan about and Bisgrove is next in line.

See u think Bisgrove accepted said offer I think Bisgrove got that offer and took it to the board. They would either accept or reject mate. 

Why did he take it to the board? because that's his job as commercial director.

Do you genuinely think he takes every single proposal and half-baked idea presented to him to the board?

I very much doubt Park Sr knew about it let alone signed off on it. 

It's not just having a moan, it's fuck up after fuck up that any normal MD would lose their job over. 

You say innocent until proven guilty but we are talking about an MD that has been proven to take part in the kit price fixing scandal. 

Also cannot say he done a good job as MD when Graeme Park was basically doing his job for him and he done a terrible job.

Certainly gets it rubber stamped from the MD. Nothing gets authorised without his say so.
