Calgacus 8 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I don't know if Paul Murray is good or bad, but he does seem to divide the support (or certainly the online part of it) and having just said goodbye to one divisive figure, I'm not sure it would be wise to bring another source of division on board. There must be someone else who could bring what Murray brings and who would be acceptable to both sides. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Blin is not a Stockbridge. I doubt that he will want to be CFO. His specialisation is corporate finance and corporate recovery. He also knows how to run businesses. After all, he ran a £1.2 billion business unit at PwC. He will be looking to develop the strategy and find the finance to drive that strategy. His role, I suspect, will be as the new Chairman of the Board. As to Stockbridge, I don't actually have a problem with him except insofar as he is overpaid and get too big a bonus for the CFO of a £20 million turnover company. But if he is willing to take a cut and follow orders then why not? I can see where my comment is ambiguous but I have said elsewhere that I expect Blin to be the new chairman with or without an EGM. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that PM would bring anything to the Board that a dozen other people couldn't plus he has the baggage of the previous Board. McCollCo may have seen him as a bridge but he is a bridge too far for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Spot on. There should be no place at Ibrox for Stockbridge for a whole bunch of reasons including his blunders & lies at the recent meeting with supporters. Taking that into consideration and his general performance in his duties as financial director (£30m gone with no acceptable explanation) he is either a coward, a liar, a thief, incompetent or all four combined. Not to mention his ties to Green & Ahmad and involvement in their little 'deal' with Whyte. How he's still in a job is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to have removed at an EGM than sack him, perhaps? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Easier to have removed at an EGM than sack him, perhaps? ..and cheaper possibly. Although I don't doubt he's got a healthy pay-off lined up for himself just in case. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 ..and cheaper possibly. When I said easier, I meant both easier per se AND cheaper as well, but I am sure you are right that unless they can prove gross negligence (and I doubt there will be any appetite for that), then he's probabaly on a (rolliing one year contract, it will be in the prospectus) year's money and possibly also this season's football bonus. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a strange one and there doesn't appear to be any move to do that at the moment, perhaps he's reached an accommodation with McColl as others have suggested. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have prefered to see Easedale's name on the requisition ahead of Mather. That much is for certain. I'm guessing they probably think Easedale's position at the club is irrelevant for now. Either that or for some reason unknown to the rest of us they think they can get him on side. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
