He oversaw a 250% increase in commercial and sponsorship income. The biggest growth of any premiership club. Problem was he fucked off at the start of the extension chasing the dosh of Saudi. He fucked off at the start of the building process of the extension. He certainly didn’t fuck off at the start of the planning, recruitment, ordering and logistics process of it.

He probably knows the square root of fuck all about construction Plus not a Rangers fan. Of course he has no loyalty to us.

Bisgrove departure should have been questioned deeper at the time. He would have been on minimum 3 but probably 6 months notice in that position but basically left ASAP which means he’d already been working his notice since about February but more realistic December and they had done fuck all to replace him. Alternatively he just decided overnight he wanted to go to Saudi and we were happy to let him leave. HG5 and BLUEDIGNITY 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter for sure. Obviously if we could only hire "Rangers men" that would be ideal but unrealistic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that the board agreed to let Bisgrove go with no notice on the understanding that he would be the fall guy for this? Or would that be too negative for Bisgrove’s CV regardless of the short term financial gain? Considering Bisgrove has been blamed, unofficially, it’s strange that he hasn’t issued a rebuttal.

I've heard rumours that Rangers were at fault including multiple things that a customer shouldn't be doing last minute without expecting the financial implications from doing so. Easier to sack a PM though and fire blame there or a Rangers employee who left. We're not even aware of who was apparently sacked are we?

esquire8 44,995 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 RANGERS confirm agreement has been finalised with both the Scottish FA and SPFL for the use of Hampden Park for the club’s home fixtures in the early part of the 2024/25 season. Further to last week’s update, the club is continuing work at pace on detailed plans for the transition to the National Stadium. While the Ask Rangers site seeks to address immediate questions, further information will be delivered to our season ticket holders and seasonal hospitality clients as we progress the situation. At this stage, the club can announce our William Hill Scottish Premiership matches with Motherwell on Saturday, 10 August and Ross County on Saturday 24 August will be played at Hampden, with both matches kicking-off at 3pm. With draws still to be made for the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and potential play-off round, plus a potential home tie in the Premier Sports Cup, the club will communicate news on dates and kick-off times for them once the information is confirmed. The club is continuing to work tirelessly on the Copland Stand project at Ibrox to complete that as soon as possible. As soon as the club can provide a definitive update on matches returning to our home, it will do so. Rangers again puts on record its thanks to the Scottish FA and the SPFL for their considerable work in reaching this solution. Above all, the club thanks our supporters for their ongoing patience and understanding as we deal with this challenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyal72 13,438 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Worrying me that the club are just leasing until August, when in reality everyone else, and from the rate of work ongoing in my own experience I can't see Ibrox being ready until September early October. Lining ourselves up for more drama down the line, instead of just securing the venue for an extended period and allowing ourselves plenty of room to get the work done.
