B1872 21,920 Posted Saturday at 21:00 Share Posted Saturday at 21:00 Was reading that thread on FF where Marshall is having a meltdown blaming the support for the state of the club and Bennet being ‘ill’. Bennet and his pals have made me fucking ill the state they have the club in FS! Also regarding Robert Marshall people need to remember the lengths he’ll go to in terms of backing his mates on the Board. When the support were moaning about playing at Ibrox he genuinely posted on FF ‘it’s a good thing as the new players will never have played at Ibrox before’. And another thing he’s saying Bennet is getting abuse on FF by keyboard warriors. All I’ve read is people questioning the Board and the decisions being made - same as on here. Cunt is all over the shop tbh! HG5 and PromDeAnglais 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunt is all over the shop tbh! He's completely lost the plot. Claiming the abuse has been too much. And let's be honest, not one single person has said 'Bennett deserves this' which he's claimed. Everyone has questioned his ability to run the club. That's it. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to put himself about as if he was number one Rangers fan, Mr important. Chucking himself at any Rangers documentaries thinking he was the go to because he had a fanzine, and that mentality persists in these fan media types to this day. Blazer chasing, more access wanting but don't want to pay for it wank stains. RossS1873, alibali59, PromDeAnglais and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that our board of arseholes know that change is coming and are getting out before a new regime wipes the floor with them? Biggest problem with that theory is that such moves have been watertight where you think at least a hint might have squeezed out. Probably too much to hope for.

KingKirk 26,461 Posted Saturday at 22:26 Share Posted Saturday at 22:26 I just hope there are some brighter days around the corner for our club it's the least we deserve frankly. The last 12 years minus 1 or 2 very high moments have been a slog let's be honest. We need a glimpse of some hope hopefully it appears in these next few weeks and months.

Not so much the board are jumping, probably just the parks if rumours are true Tbh bennet probably knew he wasnt going to keep that job perma anyway, if new investors come in that some of the current board know and approve of, they might have a replacement ready to go for him Could be as well why gillespie as ceo has fell through bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind seeing Alistair Johnston flying in to steady the ship but he's getting onwards now. Those are the two sound minds until a takeover takes place. The Parks must be ousted.

It's always confused me with the Parks. Possibly they care about the club too much to run it without emotion, but they have several successful businesses, you would think they would have been able to keep the club on an even keel instead of the mess(es) we find ourselves in time and time again.

There was obviously previously chatter of investment from Asia but Bennett was part of that “alliance” with Gibson, Taylor and the other Asia-based investors vs the Parks.

Everyone in that board is a very successful businessman in their own right. It doesn’t make them immune to bad decisions + none of them have ever been involved in making decisions at a football club like Rangers. It’s very, very different to their day jobs. What they should have done from the outset is never involve themselves in the day-to-day running of the club. They should have put their money in and hired proper execs with football experience to embed a long-term structure at the club. The fighting in the boardroom has contributed to the nonsense we’ve seen go on for years.

RossS1873 2,601 Posted Sunday at 07:21 Share Posted Sunday at 07:21 I thought Wolhardt coming in initially was meant to be the first signs of Asian money coming in? Then with Gibson investing too but that seems to have been it. But maybe as others have said its more been about others not willing to give up their end either. Looking at the percentage of ownership it's interesting to see that despite his repeated desire to sell, King is still the main man. But Borita is Asian (Woldhrdt) and Perron is American (Halstead) just incase others were unsure of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We badly needed that experience in the boardroom, individuals that know how to run a successful football club on and off the pitch. Hopefully new investment is on the way and this will be the first port of call to be addressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again big pinch of salt required, bennet could still be involved boardroom wise, especially if its his mates and their mates punting the money in Dont think he was ever going to do the chairman job, was he not a stop gap that was never filled If bennet, king and the bears from asia all want in but need the parks to fuck, maybe park jnr stepping down is a compromise, parks stay on the board with their shares (they are fans so fair fucks especially as they put money in) but the day to day running is the new guys mandate now Can only dream Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
