Of course, the first thing this gargantua said was, "I am delighted to join Rangers Football Club as chief executive as the club continues its journey back to the pinnacle of the game in Scotland and beyond." Where have we heard that one before? Next stage is Sooperally offering him his full support. No prizes for guessing how this story is going to end! Wallace also says that he is going to bring 'stability' to Ibrox. Has anybody told him anything about what's going on? Doesn't he know about the Requisitioners and the 'Sons of Struth'? Chances are that, after the AGM, he won't be welcome anywhere near the place.
As usual, Merlin McMurdo announces that this is another 'strong appointment.' He says that Bisto is building a 'formidable' board. If he's talking about sheer physical bulk then he has a strong case! Somebody else says that it's a 'strong' and 'robust' board. I think the idea is that there'll be no room for the Requisitioners at the AGM with all these Bibendums (or is that Bibenda?).
Meanwhile Bisto has put in its official complaint to the SFA about Peter Lawwell's joke. Obviously the board has nothing else to be concerned about, eh? I wonder if they'll get satisfaction or if they'll just get laughed at. Maybe they'll call in a favour from Mr EBT, Campbell Ogilvie! And will they take it further? This is going to end in tears; tears of laughter for all of us!
The Bisto Kids are all up in arms about the suggestion that the SPFL might pursue their club for the £250,000 fine imposed by Lord Nimmo when, as they claim, he pronounced the old club 'innocent'. The possible demand that they pay the fine, they say, will prove once and for all that it's the same club. Not only that, but some of them are demanding that, if they pay the fine then they should be 're-instated' to the top tier. Oh, and they want the money they were 'swindled out of' for coming second in the league in 2011-12. Of course, this is all a load of pish!
Firstly, they are due nothing for Rangers' last season since Barney Google cheated. Mainly, however, the payment of the fine would come under the 'Five-Way Agreement,' under which Bisto was obliged to pay all football debts of the old club. This was the price they paid for jumping the queue into the league and no attempts at weaseling out of it can change that. So they'll have to pay up or give Spartans their rightful place in the league!
The two new board members introduce themselves to each other.
