As Ibrox Noise said months ago, and Alex Rae agrees with, James Bisgrove was by far Rangers’ biggest and best summer signing, and the impact has been massive.
We’ve already told you of the superb news regarding Lee Wallace, and of course, Rae couldn’t agree more.
Speaking to alt index and Ibrox Noise, he said:
“James (Bisgrove) was obviously brought in initially to increase revenue and he has been phenomenally successful. The figure was around £8million at the end of 2018 and it increased to £29million in four years so that is clearly fantastic work to oversee that kind of increase. The board has clearly seen that Bisgrove has the attributes to take control of the entire business and that’s why they made him chief executive.”
He went on:
“There have been a number of major changes behind the scenes as Rangers look to move forward in a business sense. Many department heads have been changed. Michael Beale has had the backing he needed to get the players he wanted and I have also been very encouraged that Bisgrove is also setting up quarterly meetings with the fans.”
And he praises the honesty now:
“So, there is transparency and accountability there. Edmiston House is also up and running so that’s another strand to the strategy which is taking the club forward. I understand it’s packed every day and even busier now with the opening of the new museum.”
And Craig Mulholland’s replacement is another one gaining Rae’s praise:
“There is a new academy director in Zeb Jacobs and hopefully he can enhance what has been happening with Nathan Patterson being the major success and Leon King also making a breakthrough. I think it all adds to the excitement among supporters who feel there is a real vibrance about the club now as the new season is about to start.”
It does all point to a lot better off the pitch.
But we need it to match on. That begins at Killie.
Very good peice this. James Bisgrove is a superb appointment as CEO and will take us back on the stages we always used to dominate SPFL etc. The only fear is once he again shows his ability and class we may struggle to keep him . Really proud to have met him briefly at the AGM . Onwards WATP.
