the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 He's right in that we didn't get fantasic people to take over the club and run it for the right reasons. He's wrong in that his consortium was no better. We needed the right people but the right people don't exist. It's one of those oxymorons - like if you want be in parliament you should be disqualified from standing, if you're a businessman who wants to run Rangers then you're not right for Rangers. The more I read about the business side of things, the more I realise that the biggest driving force is greed and that morals are something only to pretend to have. You would think that there are enough fabulously rich people out there that they don't actually need to make any money at all from Rangers, they just have to ensure we don't make them a loss. But that thinking is for another universe. His consortium wanted to put in. This one to take out. His may not have been perfect but it certainly was the better choice. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy, is a Hibs an & a Rugby fan....he wasn't looking to take over because of his love for the club!!! He also didn't make his millions by shelling out ££££ on a whim - he was looking for a financial reward!!! How that would have compared to Green....we'll never know. Would he have installed "better" folk on the board...we'll never know. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Kennedy would have taken money out - Souness even says that. The trouble with entrepreneurs is that their personal score in life is how much money they make. If they don't make decent money on a venture then they see it as a bad failure which grates on their ego. The only exception is their charity work which is mainly there to make them look like better people so that more want to do business with them - and tax breaks of course. Anyway, the upshot is that not many big hitting businessmen will willingly not take a profit. It's just not in their mindset. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 their is a world of difference between taking cash out and making a profit on your shares. their is a world of difference between now when we are weakest and in 25-50 years time as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,907 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I fail to see why Kennedy would have been any different to Green. We would have been fed the same BS by guys who are just out to make some money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
