elfideldo 411 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Seems to have done well enough at Dundee but would be a very risky decision to accept the CEO role ahead of the AGM. Why ? He will be guaranteed a pay off what ever happens 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Why ? He will be guaranteed a pay off what ever happens That's true but he'd also be out of a job. I believe the guy has jumped from job to job in recent years so I'd be surprised if he put aside a more settled position just for the sake of a few extra quid. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Why would the CEO of a club even consider jacking in his current job to take another one, at albeit a much bigger club, which may only last 6 weeks??? Scott Gardiner must be away of the current goings on within the Ibrox Boardroom, if not how much use is he going to be??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 ... or, for some reason, the current board is pretty sure that they have the voting power? BTW, I still assume that much of what the Nomad and the board are doing right now is looking to comply with AIM / SM guidelines. Furthermore, I would assume they also look at people adapt in the Scottish landscape and who won't command the fees of a Purslow and/or Blin (or does anyone expect that these will come on the cheap?). As Frankie has said, it is hard to tell what the ultimate gains or aims of such appointments will be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I realise we need a CEO but with the kind of payoffs we're giving it seems to be stupid appointing someone now when he could be removed in six weeks. So, how much is he on at Dundee? Bet it's not on the same planet as £600k. When you consider St Mirren's total wage bill in 2011 was £2.2m they can't have been paying their CEO much more than a normal wage. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know things are bad when being an employee of twice bankrupt Dundee FC is described as a 'more settled position'! I wonder if he'd take John Brown with him... :box: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Haha - very possibly! Anyway, Dundee have said they've had no contact from Rangers but it may well be Gardiner simply resigns anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Supposing he gets five times the salary to that at Dundee, does the job for six weeks and then gets a one year pay off. That's five years of Dundee sized wages banked. I think I know which seems more settled as he could lose his job at Dundee any time in that five years. If he's any good he's bound to find another job and still keep the money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy 0 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Wonder how quickly rumours will start on the return of Bomber Brown. There's a kink there, so it will get column inches. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Believe we have spoken to Leanne Dempster of Motherwell too, seems our ambition knows no bounds! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
