Rangers fans left in the lurch again

Rangers fans left in the lurch again

How do you persuade someone to become your Chief Executive when they could be removed from the position within a month?

It is a question that has been puzzling me all week.

Dundee’s Chief Executive Scot Gardiner has turned down an equivalent post with Rangers.

His reasoning, it is reported, is that he didn’t receive assurances he would be able to get the degree of control he was after.

However, the key assurance surely that Rangers couldn’t give is he’d still be in place come Christmas.

The club’s long-awaited and much-anticipated AGM is on December 19. After that, everything may change.

That’s a unique situation and one the club is well aware of as are the job applicants. So, from their point of view, why put yourself in the position?

The first possible reason is that Rangers are a huge club, no matter the division they are playing in.

Take the job and then, if things go well, you will be in a position of power at one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

The second is money. Given the situation the club is in, we have to assume they will be offering decent financial guarantees.

Equally intriguing is the timing of the AGM itself so close to Christmas when traditionally everything shuts down.

The meeting has been repeatedly put back, and I’ve heard the new date falls soon after Charles Green is first able to sell his shares.

If so, is it a coincidence? There will be many Rangers fans who would doubt it.

The problem is we can’t be sure, and that in itself is an issue for the club.

Make no mistake, whoever is in charge is going to need the backing of the supporters.

They’ve had their fingers burned twice, and will be demanding answers about the road that is being taken.

My sincere hope is they receive those answers. If not, Rangers may suffer at season ticket renewal times.

Transparency is the buzz word we’ve heard plenty of times. Heard but not seen much in the way of evidence.

I found it ironic that Jim Traynor’s job title while he was at Ibrox was Director of Communications. There was very little communication while he was in the post!

There was one line to say he had left, and we’ve heard nothing from him since .

I can confidently say in his previous positions in the media, Jim would have been the first to have a go had that been anyone else!

Gers fans deserve answers.
