John Gilligan first interview: King message, Clement backing and CEO update

[@robertreid6794]

Listening to this guy I've definitely came to the opinion we as a club are in trouble big time 🇬🇧

[@snakeplisskin1]

He like the rest I do believe they are fans! but their the WRONG people for the job that much is obvious

[@rangersnut]

He sounds like one of the guys you would talk to running a bowling or rotary club. Still, we are where are. All we can do at this point is hope for the best. If I had my way I would prefer they all sold their shares and we had sharper and better custodians of the club. They are what we have for now, and they have dug their claws in for better or worse and don't seem to be willing to let go. So all we can do is hope for improvement. If it comes I will credit them for a job well done, if not like everyone else, I will be getting tore right in.

Nice to see the chairman coming out and dressing thr fans well done Rangers we just have to get behind the team he's a fan to WRTP🔴⚪️🔵

[@alexcampbell3032]

[@rangersnut]

Aye, I have to respect that he comes out as a carer between his new gig and dresses fans. 😂 He wears many hats. So long as there isn't a magic hat we will be good.

Great interview. Fills me with confidence

[@Bluebear78]

Wow just wow

[@ulsterbeerdrinker5348]

Edger asked the question and we got no real answer, things will continue as is for the foreseeable ots sad to see what's happening to our club, it used to be 'We welcome the chase' not as our new chairman says 'We'll keep chasing' 😮😮

[@GrumpyGer]

Here is what I want as a fan. I don't want stories, I want wins and titles. Debt cleared up. Do that and I will stop moaning. I want King in charge.

[@neilmckechnie6638]

We need more fans owning Rangers Shares to fund an increase of the stadium capacity to beyond 60.000+

[@freemind409]

FS can even fill the stadium you have with a reduced capacity 😂

[@rangersnut]

In part I agree that would help, but if we can't organise the slight adjustment to the Copland Road stand without drama, what makes you think we can do that at the moment? Maybe in the future but not now, and certainly not while we are in debt to the tune of £10.5 million.

[@StevieMoore-q3c]

would that be the same fans that let their club die ... there have been 5 share issues going back to the old club when murray has to put his hand in his pocket just before the old club went bust because the fans did nothing .. your fans base has never dug into their pockets to help your club ..

It's highly important they get the correct people with right credentials to fill the areas that are needed. There has been some bad business over the years, one of the reason celtic are in front of us. A strong board that will be honest with the fans and puts the team first is essential

[@Pauliewalnuts_822]

Is this for real? Jesus christ this is extremely worrying.

[@BillStorrie]

John is standing in on an interim basis, some "supporters" need to be mindful of this. That said, we desperately need a strong leading figurehead as Chairman (I am not advocating DK for that role). A strong communicator and much more visible than in the past, be the voice of our Club. Ideally, I would like the CEO to focus on the business side and bringing the various depts. together with a common goal. Let's all hope we can get this right this time because we NEED to. 🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧

[@rossfleming9552]

It's like listening to a guy down the local chippie. This is our club's leadership? A joke.

Could we get a multi-directional condenser microphone to pick up the audio of the questions from the journalists?

Naw, coz were the Rangers Review and we've got 2 guys on our small team who write for the Glasgow Herald Broadsheet newspaper and we like to fly under the Radar.

[@DavidDonald-z4t]

I'd much rather see Dave King in than him unfortunately!

[@rangersnut]

It would depend who has the best plan and what investment can be brought in. I don't expect them to disclose every detail but they could give us a flavour of where they are aiming plan and investment wise. How would each tackle our debt for instance?

[@gavinquinn2219]

We are in big big trouble we are stabbing each other in the back on a daily basis it’s heartbreaking to see this level of abuse towards shareholders of this special club, we need major surgery. The Chairman states we have a plan what is that plan tell the fans were we at. WATP

[@snakeplisskin1]

The board tell us mere peasant s anything!!!

[@IainMacpherson-gv2ns]

I don't know if Dave King is correct at what most of the stuff he is saying. However, he's correct that we are miles off, we need investment, Dave king at least speaks his mind. We have been looking for a CEO for months now. Get the finger out.

[@grantmcroberts4089]

Aye and king talks utter bollocks who ignores that he wasted millions and the debt started under him

[@lawrie118]

I like John G but he’s either delusional or he’s trying to pull the wool if he’s telling us we’re in a good place

[@snakeplisskin1]

Having fly digs at dave king thru the media instead of phoning and speaking to him face to face is a snide move!!!! This guy is part of the problem with this club if he thinks the board have a paln and are doing good he has a screw loose! THIS INTERVIEW IS WORRYING

[@theboybrand]

David King asap please. He is the only man that has raised his head above the parapet of the necessary calibre. A man with ambition and drive to take us back where we belong. I'm sure this fella is a good rangers man but really? He comes across as utterly clueless and that's being kind.

As largest single shareholder he has the right to say what he likes

No single owner ever again very worried about the so called investors who run this club where is the money gonna come from then if they won’t sell up the current board are comfortable with being second best for the foreseeable future and not wanting to take the club forward serious investment is needed to catch Celtic and this lot couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery

@@kiezorfc8559 David Murray made a mess as a single owner but I don't think that means we should never have an owner ever again. It just needs to be run well by the right person and / or people.

The famous player trading model that disappeared when Dave King left is being spoke about here by John Gilligan as if it is up and running and a roaring success bringing us titles and profits. Tom English spoke about how the R+A and SRU struggled to find a suitably qualified CEO to fill their positions and Gilligan trots out the famous old..."We are Rangers" line as if that means the club will attract the best in the business just because of our name.

[@ianparker8776]

Dave King is definitely not the answer. Remember he cost us millions through his mishandling of Ashley and Elite sports plus his never ending arguments with everyone that moved. His comments regarding Celtic folding like a deck if cards have come home to bite him and he should conduct his business with the board in private rather than washing our dirty linen in public.
