A football club with 2,000,000 fans in the UK is looking for a Marketing Manager. With the UK population standing at 67,000,000 it means that more than 1 in 35 people in the UK are bears!
Strangely with such a huge UK support they have attracted less than 800,000 followers worldwide on Twitter with the Loyalty/Reward scheme My Gers having around 60,000.
Finding the missing millions seems like a tall order for the new Manager to achieve with whizz-kid James Bisgrove unable to bring them on board during his five years in the job before becoming CEO.
The fantasy facts aren’t consigned to levels of support, founded in 2012 by Charles Green the club seems to have a number of identity issues, claiming that they are ‘ one of the world’s longest established and most successful clubs’.
The next sentence they have promoted themselves to ‘ This collection of titles and cups makes Rangers the most successful club in the world’ which reeks of the insecurity associated with winning less trophies than St Johnstone.
The LinkedIn vacancy explains:
JOB TITLE: Marketing Manager
REPORTING LINE: Head of Marketing & Brand
DEPARTMENT: Commercial & Marketing Department
LOCATIONS: Ibrox Stadium
CONTRACT: Full time, Permanent
BACKGROUND
Rangers Football Club, formed in 1872, is one of the world’s longest established and most successful clubs, having won 55 League titles, 34 Scottish Cups, 27 League Cups and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972. This collection of titles and cups makes Rangers the most successful club in the world, and it is currently the 9th strongest football brand according to the YouGov UK Brand Index.
Playing at the 50,987 seat Ibrox Stadium and benefitting from the world-class 37-acre training facility, the club has been a dominant force in Scottish football for decades. The club benefits from a famously loyal support and the high volume of season tickets is the foundation of the top 19 best attendances in Europe. It is estimated that Rangers has a global fanbase of 4m, half of which reside in the UK.
THE ROLE
An exciting opportunity has arisen at Rangers Football Club to join the Commercial & Marketing department. The Marketing Manager will play a key role across all club campaigns, by ensuring concepts & campaigns are planned and executed across all club channels and physical branding.
The exciting role is likely to involve working with a fourth football manager in two years with angry fans expected to force Micky Beale out of his job after the next adverse result. Beale went into the international break following defeats from PSV Eindhoven and Celtic.
Best Mickey mouse and Donald duck apply for the vacancy.
Would only be a job for Disney characters in trying to make the promoting of the lies believable.
Maybe santa could apply after the Christmas rush, if such a shite job opportunity remains.
The lie still holds no shame from the Hun thick fucks
“…Playing at the 50,987 seat Ibrox Stadium
…benefiting from the world-class 37-acre training facility…”
Why would a job advert quote the EXACT number of seats and acres…?
Will the Marketing Manager also have to double-up as Maintenance Manager,
and Groundskeeper? 🙂
And face painter and shop keeper and so on.
Aye but they’d need to be volunteers Scud – As they don’t pay face painters and shopkeepers !
Like the character in The Simpsons – Groundskeeper Billy?
Big DONALD would be the perfect candidate for the job just look at all the LIES and FAKE NEWS STORIES he puts out there on a daily basis.
The job is to squeeze more money from the same 50k saps.
Just like the myhunz scheme
I had to chuckle at the:
Full time: Permanent
part of the add.
That should have read:
As we’re currently skint, you may be fired at short notice, or no notice at all, come to that.
Trigger’s broom FC. They’re always good for a laugh.
Hail Hail.
Slightly off topic…but no really…
Joe, do you, or does anyone know, why the 5 stars have gone from their strips ?
I assume its because they have been told legally that they can’t use them…as it was the former club who won the trophies…and the new club has no record worth talking about.
I’m amazed that its not queried on Celtic Blogs.
Or have I got it wrong ?
Oh and its gone past tea-time…..
Is Beale still in a job ?
Asking for a friend.
Editor: I don’t think there is any story to the five stars, clubs can stick anything on their strip, Aberdeen have two. Hopefully this season and certainly by next Celtic go past the combined trophy haul of both Ibrox clubs as another false boast comes back to bite.
Lol that’s me your having a go at,I may have got that wrong,but I got it wrong for the right reasons.
With their track record …I personally don’t think they casually dropped the 5 stars …but as I have no idea why…I’ll drop it…Thanks.
Bbbbut whit aboot awe they mullionsnmullions ae gers fans awe ower ra wurlld, ye ken awe they wans that stepped in to save ra klub fae liquidation?
Or rather they didn’t and then Charles Green formed a new klub and stole all the zombies’ benefit money.
The end.
It’s well named as LIEbrox for sure…
Rangers (died c.2012) – Founded 1872 – I thought it was 1873, but it just shows how thick they are as that just made our trophy winning average against The Late Rangers higher and better…
The most successful club in the world… Ha, Ha, Ha, Maybe Sevco’s cousins at Linfield, after the Egyptian club Al Ahay who actually are…
The club has been the dominant force for decades… Certainly NOT in the 11 years they’ve been living for sure…
The club benefits from a famously loyal support – Aye check out how ‘loyal’ they were on Sunday 3rd September – They were Celtic’s twelfths man that day…
So there are just four LIES from that short little statement !
LIEBROX, LIEBROX, LIEBROX and more LIEBROX !!!
No mention of the fickle nature and ancient prejudices of said huge support base?.
Where is Falsehood in the world? Look no further than a company formed in 2012 claiming to be one established in 1872! And claiming credit for the achievements of the first one!
It is like taking the identity of someone who died years before and stealing it for your own!
And then claiming to be the owner of the achievements of the deeds of the former.
Like an engineer who can’t pick up a spanner or a barber who can’t cut hair or a musician who can’t play an instrument!
What a bunch of fockin’ Wallapers!
But it works though for some. England and their FA bought it when they hired out Auchinhowie for their training!
Fockin’ Wallapers as well!
The deluded will take this in they did.
They were liquidated.
Why don’t they see this
