Rangers lose out on major target as big AGM announcement collapses | OneFootball

The collapse of Malcolm Offord’s appointment as Rangers Chairman both comes as something of a relief to Ibrox Noise, while also reminding us, once more, as if we needed prodding about it, just how badly run our club actually is.

To actually go for a politician, regardless of which party, appears to serve as no reminder of the last time the club made the same mistake in David Graham, a former Belfast City Counsellor with unneeded links to Protestant movements which only brought unwanted attention to the club.

This time it was a peer, a Conservative Lord and donor who was being touted for the role, only for it to collapse in the last 24 hours, a real blow for the board who wanted to be able to present him at Thursday’s hotly-anticipated AGM.

So on one hand we have the fact it’s embarrassingly fallen apart only a day before it was supposed to be announced amid pomp and ceremony, and on the other the fact Rangers’ board believed him to be an appropriate candidate in the first place.

And on the day Rangers face Kilmarnock in yet another crunch SPL match, and the day before Thursday’s big meet, that collapse takes up all the headlines.

It shows, once more, just how unfit for purpose Rangers’ current board actually is, as if we didn’t already figure that out, and now for the all-important Chairman slot, the club is back to square one.

Rangers are a shambles on and off the pitch.
