lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Could be a few reasons. My guess would be it's not a commercial decision. This will be Williamson's fifth loan club and he's 22 next month. So Rangers may want to review his status early. I think his contract is up at Ibrox next summer.

Presumably it gives flexibility all round. If player and both clubs are happy, it can be extended for the full season. If it is not working out for whatever reason, none of the parties is tied into something that does not suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My granda whinged about another rangers player coming on loan earlier when I told him about the signing. I already think he could become someone we would like to keep here, attitude wise anyway.

At least in terms of dealing with various administrative minutiae during all the upheaval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl1971 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 A parting best for all parties. Not for me to judge how well he carried out the role in manifestly difficult circumstances, but for me he should be warmly welcomed back when he attends games ( as I'm sure he will ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 A CEO is there to implement the plan of the board. They are an employee like the manager, players, office staff etc. If the board changes then CEO has limited if zero push back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Gerry Britton will always be regarded as great player for the club. As a chief exec he has been pretty poor and I can't say I'm sorry to say him leave. I would hope that Gerry going was in part initiated by our board realising a reduced budget means we also need to rationalise the pay of the chief exec and anyone else either under performing or earning a big wage from the club.

Yes! Now begs the question. Are we looking for a new CEO or will one of the board members take it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiThistle Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Personally I think Kris Doolan will make a fantastic CEO when he is announced on Friday. Hopefully it won’t interfere with his other responsibilities like running the team and working the pie stall at halftime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't act like you mean business, unless you act like a Business. Some would strip the club bare given the chance. Gerry Britton has done a lot for the club and brought in much needed new sponsorship. I attended a night at the club and his customer service team, who were fantastic on the night, seemed to hold him in high regard. No-one spoke about him but he was referred to in a good light, when a question was asked. A sincere thanks for all you've done Gerry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watties wallies Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 gerry britton was an excellent player for the jags and just for the record gerry was against appointing caldwell as our manager but you know who ignored that and gave powerpoint caldwell the job the rest as they say is history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
