Any new Rangers investors cannot change Ibrox vision after takeover twist – Finance Expert
We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Rangers...
Dan Plumley has insisted that any new investors at Rangers must not change the vision or strategy of the club after a positive start to John Bennett’s rein.
It comes after Alan Nixon reported that the Easdale brothers, alongside Dave King and American investors could look to take significant control at Ibrox, something King has refuted.
The finance expert admitted that changes in the boardroom this summer have shifted the narrative with transfers done early and many exits confirmed at the very top.
“It seems to have changed the narrative,” he exclusively told Ibrox News.
“You never know how something is going to work until you see some of these things, and the transfer deals being done quicker than in the past and that is when you start to see boardroom composition start to impact the day-to-day operations.
“There seems to be a real energy with Rangers at the minute, obviously, we know the caveat to that is that it doesn’t always play out that way at Rangers and there will be lots of changes along the way, partly in relation to how they have run and operated in the past.
“Certainly, as we talk right now, it seems to have put a real shift forward and what is best for a football club is everybody pulling in the same direction, and that starts at the very top through to what happens on the pitch.
“There seems to be a real energy moving forward so you’re hoping that this carries on and anyone new that comes into the mix, you don’t change the vision or overall strategy.”
Bennett has made a very strong start to the top job at Ibrox, although things can very quickly change when new investors start to be thrown into the mix.
Of course, any talk of that possibility has gone very quiet, but it is something to keep an eye on.
In other Rangers news, Plumley has insisted that the club can argue they have missed out after a £900m+ deal was signed off elsewhere
