williemillersmoustache Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Rangers appoint new director to oversee 'investment committee' STV 14 November 2013 07:25 GMT Rangers: The non-executive director appointment of Norman Crighton was announced on Thursday.SNS Group Rangers International Football Club plc have appointed a new director to oversee an "investment committee". Norman Crighton’s appointment as a non-executive director was announced to the London Stock Exchange on Thursday. The latest directorial post comes after David Somers was named interim chairman at Ibrox last week. It comes around a month before the company’s first annual general meeting where opposition shareholders, led by ex-chairman Malcolm Murray and former oldoc director Paul Murray, will seek appointment to the board. Mr Crighton is now the fourth board member at Rangers, alongside Mr Somers, finance director Brian Stockbridge and non-executive director James Easdale. It follows on from a large turnaround in board members in the past year as rebel shareholders raised concerns over the running of Rangers International, which posted an operating loss of £14.3m earlier this year. Rangers stated that Mr Crighton will "chair a new Investment committee of the board whose terms of reference will include overseeing capital projects." His background has seen him "involved in most aspects of investment banking during the course of his 23 year career, including corporate finance, research and market-making, leading to institutional investment management", Rangers International stated to the stock exchange. Mr Crighton, who does not currently hold any shares in Rangers International, was a senior vice president at financial management firm Merrill Lynch between 1994 and 1999, Rangers said, while he has non-executive roles at several publicly listed companies including environmental investor Trading Emissions PLC and technology investment firm Private Equity Investor PLC. He was appointed to Private Equity Investor to replace non-executive director Colin Kingsnorth, who founded and runs the Isle of Man hedge fund Laxey Partners Limited, which owns a 6.53% stake in Rangers. Laxey has previously indicated it would vote in line with the fans when it came to the annual general meeting appointments. In the stock exchange announcement, Rangers confirmed the Dundee-born economics graduate would have to stand for re-appointment at the annual general meeting on December 19, alongside all other directors. Get your wallets oot, you have a new begging bowl manager in post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysnotter Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Right lads, we need a new CEO, we could either go for the very successful Ex-Manchester City CEO, or we could go for Scot Gardiner. No brainer, Gardiner it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Here's the question, Dhensest. Perhaps you'll do better than the plastic and diddy heroine - Ms HND herself. @AngelaHaggerty I heard "Orange b*****d" being aimed at the Ajax manager. Is there a culture of anti-Dutch racism? Or anti-'somethingelse'? C'mon, chaps and chapesses. It's been more than a week now. Is nobody going to step in and stop him making a tw@t of himself? (Bendarroch, there's a clue in my post, and a bigger one from Denbhoy last night.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housing development at Murray Park? Consequences could be horrific, if you are a Rangers fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bilel Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ive asked a few times now but you seem intent on ignoring me (fair enough), indeed it would appear you are intent on ignoring anyone who doesnt have an affiliation with celtic. However perhaps it would be of some benefit to you to explain where your hatred comes from? Was it a single event or a series of events. Explain. Your wilful attempts to misunderstand or ignore the intense hatred between Celtic and Rangers means your launchpad for attack is built on a false premise. If you can't understand this simple axiom we can't enter into any dialogue, you'll need to go back to implying Rangers fans are all the same person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He could easily have said something like "We'll fight on", "We won't stop" or even "No let up". However, its clear he was trying to play to the lowest common denominator in your fan base. It's clear to all. Why use a phrase that you know to have sectarian connotations when addressing a group of Sevconians? A.Because you're appealing to a bunch of bigots and when in Rome. Even Bendy knows this, he's just flailing around like a deranged lunatic because he can't bring himself to admit he has got this horribly, horribly, wrong. Nobody's impressed. Sometimes fans really get the club they deserve. Imagine the few Bears who actually want nothing to with this dark ages bigoted nonsense, with expert dog whistler like Malcolm Murray and enablers like Bendy around, they've got no chance. Tick, tock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 "investment committee". If there's one thing they've mastered in Govan it's Orwellian doublespeak. I thought all the money earmarked for capital projects had been spunked on things like The Corpulent One's salary and Sir Charles of Normandy's new chateaux? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendarroch Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) C'mon, chaps and chapesses. It's been more than a week now. Is nobody going to step in and stop him making a tw@t of himself? (Bendarroch, there's a clue in my post, and a bigger one from Denbhoy last night.) WKR wades in for the plastics. No surprise anywhere at all. Will you be the one to answer the question that Haggerty would not - were the 'orange b*****ds' chants from 'RA bhoeys in Amsterdam anti-Dutch racism or anti-something else? Here's a clue for you - the question was posed to Haggerty by an STV journalist - not the fantasy figure you thought Dhensest's hopeful guess referred to.

Here's a clue for you - the question was posed to Haggerty by an STV journalist - not the fantasy figure you thought Dhensest's hopeful guess referred to. Has to be something else: Dutch is not a race. ETA. Why is this SO important to you? Do you think some celtic fans being bigots makes it all right that some sevco fans are bigots?

Tick, tock. You most certainly have the club you deserve. Still inventing fantasy meanings for Murray and trying to nail a point that English most certainly could not? Pathetic - even by your lowly standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendarroch Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Has to be something else: Dutch is not a race. You could be right - so what were they referring to in the land of the House of Orange? The Dutch national team don't play on Orange by accident you know. But, keep in mind that a race is no longer required in law for racism to occur - just ask the Irish about the legal ruling on the Famine Song for confirmation. And if you are right and it's not anti-Dutch racism - what on earth could they have been singing about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendarroch Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Scotslaw on the new appointment. Poor Dhense - if it's not the soldier bhoy who can't resolve the contradictions of sitting amongst terrorist lovers he's now reduced to citing the disgraced, bungling lawyer. Someone, indeed, no longer trusted to work on their own - but still more than good enough for our wee soldier bhoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Have you stopped beating your wife yet" style question. Not dignified with a response*. What exactly is your problem? Other than now attacking anyone outside of ra peepul on the basis of what other people ask them? *Eta: She did respond - quite reasonably, as well. Didn't dignify the asker, just asked if the wider matter of racism would be raised on his employer's show? Strangely, this STV journalist didn't respond to that.
