Appointment of Chief Executive Officer = no surprise!

[Little General 80]

Good appointment. This will strengthen Ashley's influence and we know that we need to be successful for Ashley to make money.

 

where are people getting this guff from? Ashley is already making money from a dysfunctional Rangers.

I think SBS had his tongue firmly in cheek...

[JohnMc 2,750]

successful like dunlop.

 

Maybe he means successful like Newcastle.

When the new manager is eventually appointed, let's just hope that it's after interviewing a number of high calibre candidates.

IMHO, part of Ashley's dealings could well be down to finally giving his ego some silverware, a bit like SDM. He can get SD money from both Rangers and Newcastle without "owning" both clubs, he can reasonably only get silverware and probably some Euro fame* via us though. Whether that is what he is looking for is anyone's guess, but I still deem it as plausible as any other theory whipped up about him thus far.

 

@ Hildy ... the rumour is (FF et al) that Billy Davies is essentially a done deal. At this moment and time a 2 year deal to get us back to the top does not really need a "high calibre" chap who'd cost much money. And in any case, if we have 500 members on here who'd have to decide on a high calibre name, we'd come up with roughly 475 first choice candidates.

 

*I speak about him, not exactly SD.

 

EDIT: Regarding Llambias, that's the second time such an announcement gives monetary information, even though not as exact as they did with McCoist.

You say "part of", what would the other part be ?

Other candidates included a Mr Micheal Mouse, Lord Lucan, Pope Benedict xvI, his brother Eggs Benedict, Baron Hardup, and the Widow Twanky.

Ashley interested in silverware? LOL!

I see panto season has reached Berlin.

The only silver he's interested in is the stuff that jangles in his pockets.

The irony is not lost on who agreed with your nice spot of sarcasm.

Found that quite amusing .

If he cared one iota about silverware he would have stumped up the cash to pay off the manager. If he cared about silverware he would be investing in our future. All he cares about is furthering SD and he will do the bare minimum to achieve that.
