SAD NEWS: Rangers key player is in trouble
George Letham is expected to be a regular at Ibrox as he carries out an advisory role for Rangers under new chairman John Gilligan, according to Chris Jack.
The Rangers Review journalist reported for the outlet’s website on 17 September that the 4.98 per cent shareholder will have an involvement “going forward” after John Bennett’s sudden resignation on health grounds
.It appears the Light Blues are going to be moving forward with something of a skeleton crew at the top of the hierarchy, with those involved doing so out of obligation in a time of need.
That seems far from ideal so even if King is going to be kept on the outside looking in there is an obvious need for appointments to be made on greater than a short-term basis.
It remains to be seen whether links to Adrian Bevington [David Tanner, 10 September] as potential new chief executive develop into concrete talks in the wake of Bennett’s exit
.If Gilligan is looking for a new CEO rather than a replacement for himself that position will presumably be the first of a number of empty spots filled, with no head of academy or sporting director in place either.
Clearly there is a glaring need for a new, competent CEO to come in, with the Ibrox building work debacle kicking off a chaotic few months as Bennett was forced to cover the role at short notice, and Ibrox News pundit Derek Ferguson suggested Bisgrove might have bolted to the Middle East because he saw was coming down the line.
That particular episode is set to come to an end with the first game back in Govan against Dundee at the weekend, but qualified permanent leaders are needed as soon as possible to stabilise the club before something similar goes awry.
