With Rangers fans regularly shouting ‘sack the board’ yet more changes have taken place among the suits this week as some positions changed and some promised exits took place.
The first big headline was the exit of Head of Football Operations Creag Robertson as a director – whether this fully means he has now vacated his position at the club period we’re a little less sure, but he’s resigned as a director and that likely means he’s now gone from Rangers completely – his LinkedIn page still credits him in his current role so he may well still be doing his job. In fairness he was at a B game recently with the rest of management.
Elsewhere, James Taylor resigned as Company Secretary, albeit not as an actual exit, but more of a reshuffle at the top – he remains Chief Financial Officer and another man has replaced his previous duties of secretary.
That man is Graham Horsman who is now the new company secretary taking up the position permanently.
So we’re not sure who we’re supposed to be sacking now – Robertson is most definitely not on the board any more, and Taylor is no longer secretary.
It must be remembered that companies frequently reshuffle their executive positions and their directors, so this news is not really that dramatic.
Ultimately the sack the board ethos really is based on ‘hating the suits’ unless the club is winning. Not a soul complained about the board during 55, and indeed praised Douglas Park and John Bennett in those days. Even Ross Wilson was a good guy.
It’s when stuff goes wrong that the hierarchy becomes the first line of blame, mainly out of frustration.
If results on the pitch match up, the suits get the flack a lot less.
But as it is, some more positions have been changed and we’ve not seen any board members really get the x meme on social networks in a while. That changed to Philippe Clement of late, for right or wrong.
Fundamentally the only thing that stops all that is new ownership, and that isn’t happening.
Big investment would be nice too, but that’s not really happening either.
