Former English FA high flyer Adrian Bevington has revealed why he wants to land the vacant CEO role at Rangers.
The vastly experienced 53-year-old said: “They are a huge club - a football institution - with a global fan base so of course I would always be happy to have a conversation, if they wanted to have a conversation with me. If that takes us anywhere? That’s a different set of circumstances and it’s important for myself to be extremely respectful to the people in office in Ibrox as well.
It’s understood Rangers chairman John Bennett could be reluctant to turn to Bevington because the Englishman played an introductory role in a failed £60m American cash injection led by businesswoman Kyle Fox. Those negotiations ended in bad blood with former chairman Douglas Park launching legal action in a Florida court - a move which was later dropped - and Fox withdrawing her offer to buy a controlling interest in the club.
“The situation you are talking about from two years ago, my role there was the person who was introducing one or two people. This lady in particular was looking to bring investment into the European football market and these conversations happen with football clubs all over the world on a frequent basis. That ship has long since sailed as far as I’m aware and I have no direct involvement or relationship with the person concerned.
