I liked the link to the woman who had a senior position with Nordsjaelland/Right To Dream.

I do not.

 

Reasoning - What have they won recently? Their only aim seems to be a talent factory and sell players for the benefit of someone. Where has the millions gone they have raised by selling players?

 

FC Nordsjaelland - Most expensive departures | Transfermarkt

 

FC Nordsjaelland - Record arrivals | Transfermarkt

 

We are a completely different animal.

Probably worried about his reputation being associated with a poor Rangers 

Gillespie has never had a football CEO role.

I'd put a positive spin on it and say she could do that and hopefully sustain success in terms of trophies with us - e.g. in the mold of a Salzburg or a Benfica.

 

We talk about the trading model, she'd seem like a candidate who could make it work and improve the quality of the squad over time.

 

You do make fair points though.

 

I hate to say it but we need to be realistic with where we're at in the foodchain in Europe - this sort of model would be viable for us AND could bring success if done properly.

 

A boon would also be developing and producing Scottish talent too.

It cant be a coincidence that Adrian Bevington popped up on a random soundbite somewhere alluding to wanting the job, followed by a lot of public chatter from supporter areas like podcasts and social media of 'This guy would be a much better choice as CEO'.

 

Call me a cynic.

Get him tf.

 

I'm not having the board renegade on a candidate because some beggar went on the radio wanting the job.

 

Fucking amateur hour man.

 

Don't GO sponsor Celtic? How daft would we have to be to interview him?

Dave King mouthed off about how he wanted Christian Purslow - former Liverpool MD (probably why he wanted him as Dave seems obsessed with all things Liverpool) but Purslow went to Villa. 

 

But that type of CV would be good, or there abouts. Appreciate we cant compete with EPL clubs.

Aye I don't rate Purslow all that much.

 

Bit of a rent a gob. No shock that him and King get on.

I'm not sure how any of us can assess whether Gillespie would have made a good or bad CEO for us.

The club need to treat this next CEO search like a big money, key first team signing.

 

If it takes that kind of money to get in an outstanding candidate then so be it.
