Little General 80 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Where does the power lie within clubs? Last regime it was the Chairman that called all the shots and the CEO done all the dirty work. Now we have a Chairman that does hew haw as far as I'm concerned and a CEO that is actively doing all the work. Can anyone tell me what the difference is in terms of power etc or to put a point together what does Malcolm Murray actually do? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well our last two chairmen owned 85% of the club so big difference there already, we have no owner like that now. I'm sure Malcolm Murray does plenty, in terms of attracting investment and day to day running, he's got the Man Utd experience as well remember. I think you're jumping to conclusions about him doing 'hew haw' because unlike Charles Green he's obviously not keen on the spotlight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little General 80 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) is there a reason then Green is not Chairman? Excuse my ignorance but which one holds the power over the company. I am not business orientated.

They've always said no-one holds full power in this consortium, if you're asking if the Chairman or CEO is more senior I don't honestly know. We're not really that different to Celtic now though, Lawwell has always seemed more active in the running of the club than their chairmen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should think on a Queen bee and all the workers behind her. Green is the voice of Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 A chairman has more power than CEO in terms of running the club strategically but the CEO has more control on the day to say running of a club. It isn't always clear cut though. But in normal terms the CEO will be a member of the Board of Directors but the leader of that Board is the Chairman, so in essence the Chairman stumps the CEO in terms of seniority. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who appointed CG and MM then? It's not meant to be a chicken / egg question btw :fish: Also, I think you may have forgotten about AJ, but that's understandable.

I did indeed, mainly because he was a stop gap to try and find a buyer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovanAllan 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I always looked at as Chairman long term strategy, CEO day to day. As for Murray being here long term he'll at least be there till after the share issue then I take it the new shareholders will vote on the chairman. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
