Rangers -fans can be impressed by the appointment of Russell Martin, but he can still bring a touch of glitter and glamor to the club … If his girlfriend decides to take the Ibrox atmosphere.
Martin has a relationship with former glamor model Lucy Pinder.
Pinder, who is a supporter of Southampton, was released in men's magazines in men's magazines in the early 2000s and can also be seen in the comedy Horror Strippers by 2012.
The 41-year-old was once ranked among 100 sexy women in the world by FHM Magazine and has also appeared in the famous Big Brother and Cooking Reality Show Hell's Kitchen.
Fans have warned that 'Moneyball' approach will not be an immediate success
Football financing expert Kieran Maguire fears that there is probably friction between the new Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh and the fan base of the club about the method of travel used to bring the Ibrox club back to the top of the Scottish game.
Leading academic Maguire, which runs the popular prize of football podcast, is largely of the opinion that the US -Takeover led by Cavenagh and the investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers is a good thing for the Govan -outfit in the aftermath of a desperate – and trophy season.
However, he warns that the Approach Medical Insurance Tycoon Cavenagh and his colleagues will probably use to make constant, structured and sustainable progress at Rangers, will probably rank with an element of support that will always demand immediately success.
“I understand that Rangers want more an analytical route, more a money ball approach,” said Maguire.
'That will not necessarily go well with Rangers fans because I think it is a very, very impatient fan base. Being second is nowhere with regard to Glasgow.
'Yes, a more arithmetic approach will be followed, but try to get the noise out of the situation, try to take the emotion from decisions when it comes to Glasgow Football will be a really tough task for senior management.
“They also have Patrick Stewart, ex of Manchester United, so he is used to taking on the challenges associated with a big club.”
Maguire, however, believes that Cavenagh has the potential to be an effective figurehead, as long as it can be quickly discussed the development of a certain culture around Rangers.
“I think he has the ability to ignore the sound because he is not necessarily based in Glasgow, so that is why he can make decisions from far.” Maguire told Talksport.
'There is a lot of catching up. Celtic is driven extremely well on and off the field, so, unless you get the culture of the club well, you are going to struggle. That is where Andrew Cavenagh has to make a difference. '
Leeds Misift Ramazani connected to the Rangers loan switch
The acquisition of Rangers by a consortium established in the US, including the 49ers companies of Paraag Marathe, raised questions about a potential conflict of interest.
Marathe was finally installed as vice-chairman of Rangers, despite being chairman of Leeds United, who are owned by his company.
Advised that the two clubs had to be run as separate entities, the Scottish FA were convinced that there were no issues with two ownership and therefore inspected the deal.
But the business people involved are only human, there will be schemes that are both clubs of benefits and the transfer of players from one from one to the other will not be difficult.
Formal partnership or no formal partnership, speculation that links the Leeds edge players to Rangers is expected to go into overdrive.
It has already started with a report that suggests that Rangers are interested in Leeds Winger Largie Ramazani, who has yet to convince Elland Road Manager Daniel Farke.
The 24-year-old Belgian came to Leeds last summer in a transmission of £ 10 million from Almeria, but he struggled in the championship for playing time.
It will not be easier for Ramazani now that Leeds has been promoted to the Premier League, with Farke expected to strengthen before the start of the new season.
Farke is supposed to have faith in the potential of Ramazani, but if the player has no impact during the preseason, there will be a decision to make. You would at least expect a loan to the options.
Whether the Leeds player is a serious target – and the report admits that there have been 'no conversations' – there is certainly much more of this in the coming weeks.
Ibrox New Boy Purdy lost his job during Benitez Power Struggle in Everton
Ranger's technical director than Purdy strengthened the relationships that will support him in his new role during a power struggle in former club Everton in the midst of Rafa Benitez's short regime as a manager.
Purdy has been brought in at Ibrox to replace Nils Koppen by sports director Kevin Thelwell, who knows him well from their time together in the Merseyside outfit. However, there is still a key figure in the American revolution on the south side of Glasgow that he is well known in the past with turbulent times.
Purdy rose due to the ranks at Goodison to land a job as a manager of scouting and operations and worked hand in hand with Gretar Steinsson, who was head of recruitment at Everton and is now the technical chef for 49ers Enterprises, part of the consortium that has taken over in Rangers.
Benitez, however, wanted to shake the things behind the scenes at Everton after taking over as a manager in June 2021.
The following December, director of Football Marcel Brands left the club after three and a half years and, only a few days later, both Purdy and Steinsson, seen as allies of the Dutchman, stopped their controversial positions.
Purdy has been in Everton for more than seven years, started as an intern for performance analysis and became a technical scout and technical scouting coordinator before he was promoted by brands to the role of manager of scouting and operations.
However, he would only get a surprise return to Goodison by the man who is now his direct boss at Rangers.
Benitez's rule at the Toffees turned out to be a spectacular flop and he was settled in January 2022 – a month before Thelwell arrived as director of football after a stay at MLS -Outfit New York Red Bulls as head of Sport.
Thelwell immediately offered Purdy his old job back and the rest is history … Steinsson, however, has been heavily involved in the acquisition of Rangers – and the appointment of new head coach Russell Martin – and will certainly pick up his relationship with 31 -year -old Purdy.
Will Rangers join the call to be sold alcohol in football stadiums?
Although the focus is currently set on head coach Martin and identify new players, the American owners of Rangers will also introduce new ideas in their search for an impact on the Scottish football landscape.
Just like the other business people who have taken control of Scottish clubs, they will want income to be maximized and the matchday experience is as attractive as possible.
That means that Rangers make better, but it also means that the SPFL and the Scottish FA influence in such a way that the product has improved for paying gamblers.
So will they follow their countrymen to put an end to the alcohol ban that has been on Scottish Football Grounds since the Scottish Cup Final Riot?
The deceased American entrepreneur Ron Gordon, whose family ownership Hibs, put the ball with it rolling and claimed that the prohibition was 'discriminatory' and that it would be challenged in the courts if it was imposed in America.
St Johnstone owner Adam Webb, a lawyer established in Atlanta, followed shortly after his takeover of the Perth club by claiming that the ban was 'irrational' and that Scottish football 'lived with spirits from the past'.
Now Dundee United owner Mark Ogren, based in Minnesota, is chipped and calls them into clubs to come up with a solution that is acceptable to the SFA and other stakeholders.
Rangers, he says, can be useful in that regard. He suspects that the new Ibrox regime will be a positive, modernizing influence on Scottish football.
“I hope that the 49ers involved will increase exposure, but there is absolutely room to increase the income,” said Ogren. 'The TV deal is a big thing, but also the culture. The alcohol situation continues to bother me. It is absurd. It is a sensitive subject, but it is part of the entertainment value for people who come to competitions, and they must be able to buy a beer. '
The prime minister of Scotland, John Swinney, is still dragging his heels about the issue, but with seven of the clubs of Scotland that are now under American ownership, the return of alcohol is getting louder every week.
Hibs, St Johnstone and Dundee United are struggling to make themselves heard, but Rangers are another matter. How long does it take before they add their voice to the growing screams?
