Ralph Brand 54 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We were promised 30 million by end July. All we have as far as I know is 1 million. Players have been signed without any fees invloved. There is a constant plea for sales of season tickets. A share issue could be launched for supporters to buy shares. Where will the share money go? maybe to repay the cost of buying the club??Rangers need a large investment to survive and we do not as yet have anything near enough.We have a long winter ahead and no new players until 2014.My view is we need that promised 30 million now to ensure a large squad for the next two seasons and be able to pay them.There has been talk of some staff being made redundant if we dont buy season tickets. That is a disgrace when investment was promised.Having spent a lifetime in the financial world I am more than aware of those who talk a good game (Whyte for a start) but have nothing behind them but other peoples cash.I am delighted that the club is playing and with a reasonable team and the team and manager will always have my full support but I need more than words from owners.Mr Green may have stood up to the SPL but gave in in the end which I can understand why as we need to play but he needs to keep his side of the financial bargain.I hope that when he gets his cash back he spent buying the club he does not leave us again with nothing.Rangers are a great club with the best support in the world and buy shares if the cash goes to the team but do not consder the purchase as an investment.My post really is just to take care with those who talk a good game but dont back it up with promised cash.

The Godfather 71,868 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Is this the £30 million if we were in the SPL?You do know we are in Division 3 right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 91 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We didint need £30 million to win 3 spl titles so I doubt there is any sense in spending millions in the SFL. Important thing is a steady keel and so far it looks like green is the guy for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glesgabear81 24 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Your entitled to your opinion like everyone else but I can't say I agree with it. CG has said a couple of things that doesn't sit well with me but its far to early to judge him. I was expecting him to be very thrifty when it came to bringing players in, I have been proved wrong, I am pleased with the quality and quantity of our signings so far (Kyle aside), he is obviously happy to pay wages way above normal SFL standard.

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 30 million for a club in division 3? What fucking lunatic would have invested that? This is getting beyond a joke. You think we need 30 million worth of players for Div 3 then 2?!And just for the sake of posterity, Mcoll, park or the shite knights wouldn't have put a penny more into the club, in the same circumstances; no matter what Dingwall tells anybody.

Prince of Orange 84 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We don't need £30 mil in the 3rd division. That money could and should be used to keep the club going in case of any hard times ahead rather than being invested in the squad which should sail through divisions 3 & 2 as is. I don't doubt Ally will be backed if/when we reach the 1st division and the top tier again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go on about this £30 m can you gave me his quote accompanied with the date he made this promise?And your view re £30m now going to the ensure a large squad.....................so what about the redundancies you mention, you would want all the £3om going on a squad to play in div 3 and 2...............that sounds rather extreme ...would you not agree?Now this point about, talk a good game but with nothing behind them...............keeping in line with your lifetime in the financial world, would you not say this is the background to the banks in that they use other peoples money?In my lifetime spent in a certain sector of the financial world , I have always found that people who have the money will use others money as opposed to their own...........from experience the soon to be announced richest man in Scotland still borrows from the banks for his expansion and developments and property purchases.

Since then Ally has said Imran/Green/Stockbridge/Murray have been in meeting the past few weeks with potential investors and have been successful Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We need £30m investment to get us through 18 months? Ha what fucking planet are you on?Frankly, i'm utterly convinced that if the transfer ban started right now, we'd be absolutely sure of back to back promotions.As others have said, so much wrong with the OP its unreal.
