Rangers new CEO salary revealed as Chris Jack issues behind-the-scenes revelation
Rangers could give their new CEO a salary in the range of £500,000 as the quest to find the right person has begun, according to Chris Jack.
The Rangers Review journalist reported on 19 September that the club are not necessarily looking for a jack of all trades, but one who can make the right appointments at things they're not as well-versed with.
The range of connections and a proven track record in the game are also understood to be key factors.
Jack wrote: "The Rangers CEO must be politically astute and able to exert influence, but they do not need to be the smartest guy in every room they enter. As one source explained to the Rangers Review, a successful chief executive will employ people who are better at their respective jobs than they are, and the CEO must assemble a team in the same manner that a manager does.
"The capacity to work under a range of pressure points – from financial to football, from Press to punters – is non-negotiable and the financial nous of a candidate who could take home a £500,000 salary should not be in doubt. The network of contacts and a track record in the game will help aspiring applicants stand out."
Rangers must be thorough with their process to hire a new CEO
Hiring the right people for different roles is an important aspect that many in the past have failed to do correctly.
They've brought in people who've not been overly good at what they do and within months have seen the fans turn against them.
It's good to see the club taking their time to do the due diligence rather than rushing into the process and going for the most appealing candidate that's currently available.
The £500,000 salary is certainly significant and it represents the mammoth task at hand - one which seems easier on the outside than it actually is.
The upheaval behind the scenes often leads to disarray on the field of play so someone who brings stability to the table is also an important characteristic.
Hopefully, within a few weeks or months, the club can arrive at the right candidate and work can progress towards building an all-conquering side.
