buster.

This isn't a job interview, I don't care what school he went to. He has been chairman since April of last year and he has made a horlicks of it. I recognise what he has achieved in his business career, that he chose to invest in Rangers at a time of need and that he has extended credit facilities to the club at lower than market rate. Great !! It is obvious that he is dedicated to what he is doing and he is giving everything towards the cause. All that said, he isn't the type of leader that the club need at this moment. The board need to bring in a particular type of CEO to do that job. Bennett has a good idea of what is needed but along with the board, he has to give this remit to a man who, with a fair wind and sufficient finance, is capable of delivering. Easy to say, but very difficult to find the right man and for that man to go to a gun fight with only a knife. I mentioned "a young David Holmes" earlier. He was given an automatic machine gun.

It's going to be Kyiv. They are 0-1 to the good after half an hour (7-2 up on aggregate).

What about a Mo Johnston type of signing. Peter Lawwell 😂 Nobody likes him, he doesn't care. Supporters want signings, he doesn't give a f**k, he does what is best for the business. He has, over a long period, sorted out a business and brought stability throughout the club. At Ibrox, we have done the polar opposite and that is why we are where we are. A lot of wishy washy incompetence since the spiv era (2011-2015) and the creative financial dogs dinner that went before it. A young David Holmes could be the man.

It goes beyond communication. Whilst he has a handle on what is wrong and what needs doing. He is simply not the man to take charge and get things done. He hasn't got it in him. It is an extremely challenging situation and no-one will find it straight forward.

A very rough guide (Douglas Park still around for best part of year). (All) Directors emoluments (no breakdown )totaled £1,258,511 for the year ending 30th June 2023.

Obviously, age isn't ideal. However, this is what Bennett referred to as a short term signing (not all will be long term projects/investments) and we desperately need good defenders, ready to rock and roll. In this particular case, if he can add leadership and basically take charge of the backline, good. In other words, we would actually get a benefit from his experience (age). Good vibes....

Desperately need a Pröpper centre back. Let's hope Robin is the real deal. Koppen needs to start contributing in making a little go a long way.

He gets 1200 mygers points a week #scandal

I see you both need pictures to communicate 😂 Time to decant to the beach.....

As it stands, the biggest obstacle to that happening is Celtic, themselves. Their support will be lapping it up but Lawwell won't be happy with how big the gap could get. Not good for business. They closed the top tier when we were in the lower divisions. The escape route for both teams is the, up until now, fabled restructuring of European football.

WTF are you on about ? Does anyone think that what they say on a message board will change the world or the boardroom decision making ? No ! Given the time you spend on the message board, I would have thought you'd have realised that your point, is an automatic given.

"The problem is that if he accepts a big contract then he has to match it on the pitch." _------------_ No, what you say is incidental and in this case, relates to predictable consequences. The problem was that the club gave him such a ludicrous contract.

One could repeatedly, pathetically and indirectly snipe at another poster on Gersnet and all it would do, would be to reflect on a different omnishambles altogether 😂 You sniped repeatedly, when, a year and more ago, I posted on our terrible signing policy of outside bets, lack of good communication, expectation levels, economic woes and general direction. Turns out, I was right. It wasn't difficult to see and those in charge would have seen it up close. But they charged down the same old path regardless. Bennett talks about radically changing direction but he hasn't got it in him to carry it through. Not many have. We will have to go lower before general expectation levels get to a place that allow it to happen. That would come with the real risk of a drop off in support.

No, he doesn't. As far as players go, they tend put in the hard work prior to the signing of a contract extension. The main problem was the club being daft enough to give him such a long extension on a huge salary.

We must be up there for the UK gold award to worst consistent overall management of a football club in the 21st century. Perhaps, Sunderland for the silver medal. Bennett has been successful in his field but is currently out of his depth. It is a gig that is becoming increasingly difficult and it'll take brave leadership to turn the ship around. With regard to reacting to the bad news (3 very slow boats from China), he mentions "...implement, contingency...".....Then he goes on about what he wanted from that moment...... There was no f**king contingency, Mr. Chairman. Own it and explain why not. He goes on about the financial situation as if he is joining the club today. This won't end well unless we change the habits of several decades and the words of John Bennett might as well be previous incumbents talking a good game about implementing the player trading model or various moonbeams. Non leadership pish and wind

He talks about "...leadership, leadership...". He is the chairman of the club and he doesn't possess it.

If the budget has been significantly reduced (likely) and/or was in good part, contingent on outgoings. Then, Bisgrove got out at the right time. Bottom line: Omnishambles Tha board themselves have to enter the real world before they can attempt to take the support with them. At least the manager recognises and talks about the real situation in front of us. In so doing, he has lowered expectation levels to a more realistic place. #undisclosed

New league set-up. Can't do both anymore (other than in qualification).

League: second place CL qualifiers: beaten by Kiev EL: 3rd in group Domestic Cups Mibees aye, mibees naw

Watched the last half hour and it was entertaining with Kilmarnock the better team.

Getting the model in for the 3rd strip

Getting the model in for the 3rd strip

Thanks! Doubt we'll be getting much for him either.

Did we pay anything for Cantwell? If I were from another club, I wouldn't touch him. Flatters to deceive and brings a pathetic level of aggravation. Need to try and sell him to one of those clubs who repeatedly f**k up and never learn, eg. Sunderland or us.

I actually like it but then I'm not an old presbyterian duffer 😂
