Back in 2012, when the SFA and spl were scrambling to legitimise sevcos claim to be same club our board tacitly agreed via the 5way agreement to sanction the resurrection , thus the survival myth was born. Shamefully our boards myopic business plan only stretched to getting the old gang back together . That being said, I enjoy debating with the rabid huns who bemoan Lawwells influence on the game. His influence is the main reason for their existence!!! He claims not to have seen the 5 way when it was definitely mailed to him. His failure to move on Res12 further damns him as its obvious now that its board policy that there must be a rangers in the league at all costs, even if it costs us millions.
We need a forward thinking leader on our board especially in the current climate, in order to ensure our success continues. I get that people point to the balance sheet as proof Lawwell is a safe pair of hands. I beg to differ. That money should be on the pitch where Lawwells risk averse transfer policy sees us fail to access the CL bounty because he has always undermined our manager by failing to acquire the players identified as being essential to beating financially inferior teams like Malmo, AEK, Cluj et al. Balance sheets don't win games. It may well come to pass that we get shot of PL this ridding the huns of their bogey man. Football, it's a funny old game, eh?
