RANGERS chief executive James Bisgrove has rejected claims the Ibrox club have paid a high price for allowing Michael Beale to spearhead their recruitment drive this summer – but admitted that new manager Philippe Clement will concentrate on first team matters going forward.
The Englishman was sacked earlier this month following a dire run of results - Rangers lost cinch Premiership games to Kilmarnock away and Celtic and Aberdeen at home and failed to qualify for the Champions League groupBisgrove denied that Beale had sole responsibility for identifying and bringing in the new recruits after Wilson moved on – but he revealed the“The reality is that the decisions that were taken in terms of the summer transfer window were taken over a period of time, three months,...
“I don’t believe we’ve seen the best from the squad. We believe it’s a strong squad with a lot of potential and we hope that Philippe is the man to get the best out of that squad.” “We want to get the right balance so that the manager has a stake and an influence in that conversation – but he is not the single and only decision maker.”Meanwhile, Bisgrove, who made increasing fan engagement a priority when he succeeded Stewart Robertson as Rangers chief executive in April, has denied that supporters, whose unhappiness has led directly to the departure of Beale and his predecessor Giovanni van Bronckhorst, now wield too much power.
“The fan engagement that myself and other members of staff at the club are undertaking goes a lot further than results. Winning at Rangers is paramount, but we will talk about facilities at the club, about safe standing, about singing sections, about how tickets are allocated. “When the supporters are frustrated, they will let the club know, they will let the players know. We share in their frustrations. We are one with the fans, the staff here at the club, when things aren’t going well. We are very in tune to that.”
