Sack the board?

In reply to the new poster via a question "Who sacks the board do they do it to themselves or is it by some other factor"?.

 

Anyhow welcome to the forum.

I don't think it's all doom and gloom. 

 

We're making progress behind the scenes. The commercial side is improving.

 

I much prefer our footballing structure to theirs. They're in a false position after 10 years of easy CL money, not because they're well-run per se; they've had it easy. 

 

We've got our recruitment wrong in the last few windows and haven't sold when values were high - mainly because we didn't have a DoF with more control and left it to a manager. The Beale appointment was a mistake, too. 

 

We should have won the league this year, despite poor recruitment, letting them have a head start after Beale's poor start, and a squad decimated by injuries. 

 

We've got a good opportunity this summer with a lot of high-wage players out of contract.

I do know there are 1 or 2 high profile business people in Scotland who would be prepared to put money into Rangers but it’s not as simple as that. These people don’t hand over money & let the incumbents get on with it. They want influence & control over the running of the club which usually means getting their own people into positions of power. 
King’s shareholding is available as is Park’s as far as I’m aware. Anyone investing would might want them removed hence buying up their shareholdings.

I know we’re going over old ground here but if we’re having a DoF it needs to be the right guy. Wilson wasn’t

We'll see what Koppen can do. I believe he's more of a recruitment specialist.

 

(Wilson was more the operations side, which I've said before.)

We need to make better decisions as a club. We cant be giving a 30 year old centre back 38k a week for four years. Sheer stupidity.

Their football structure is far superior to ours and its false to state that their financial security is simply down to having free access to CL money.

 

Their player trading model is vastly superior to ours. Sure they make some mistakes, but usually they are moved in quickly.

 

They also have a knack of selling players on at the right times and making profits on them. 

 

Most of the mistakes you mention above are high profile boardroom mistakes. These need to be reduced dramatically and a published (high level) short, medium and long term business plan wouldn't go amiss.

Like I said, I prefer our structure. There's is based on individuals. Their CEO and Manager have too much power. It will collapse when they go or get it wrong. We've got a better structure going forward. We can slot in numerous individuals if they're not performing and keep the structure unchanged. (That's not say say we we've been successful: it's just a comment on the structure itself.)

 

I will concede their player trading plays a big part in their financial strength, but I still believe it's mainly down to easy CL money. 

 

It's a house of cards, IMO. We saw how it quickly fell apart when Lennon was appointed. (They got lucky with Ange, but as I predicted, they regressed when he left.) 

 

The boardroom failures were the managerial appointments (GvB and MB). Other failures stem from that, IMO.

I would love that but I'm not sure how appropriate it is? I don't think businesses should disclose their plans for all their competitors to see. 

 

I'd like some KPIs for fans to measure and track, though.

Yeah, KPIs would work.
