So I’m pretty sure he’s got it right because it does get to a point where the club’s current situation is really not fixable.
You know, the same thing reserved for former MD Stewart Robertson and ex-sports director Ross Wilson during the last outbreak of disgruntlement a couple of years back. And, listen, he deserves it. He’s been on the board since 2015 and involved, to some degree, in all manner of awful decisions.
Work seems to have been abandoned at Ibrox, the video clips that have emerged rarely show more than a handful of workers with the Copland Crane recently removed.
Admitting that any new signings is dependent on getting rid of serial losers is one thing but adding that he had been sold a very different outlook from the Directos when discussing the job has turned up the level of anger against the Ibrox board.
With the start of the SPFL Premiership season just over three weeks away Bennett has been unable to secure a home ground to fulfil fixtures, with no date set for when Ibrox will reopen there is no point in trying to reverse early season fixtures.
Playing at Ibrox with three open stands is appealing, but problematic. The 8,000 supporters displaced from their seats and locked out of games would be due compensation in some shape or form.
I’m sure no one will be more frustrated about it than chairman John Bennett but I must say take my hat off to him for the way he’s gone about trying to address it.
If the asbestos/structural damage/ Building Warrant rumours are true a longer closure will seriously harm the club financially and their dwindling credibility with supporters.
Around three weeks ago, the news that had been feared was delivered. Some of the steelwork required for the project will not arrive in Britain for several weeks and Rangers have been left to count the cost – in financial and sporting terms as well as reputationally – of delays…
After getting a turn out of the squad left behind by Micky Beale to deliver a trophy and a few months hope of a treble Clement will be expecting the funds to put his own stamp on the club. That is looking unlikely a reality creates austerity.
