That is not sustainable no matter what every other club does I'm not asking for more money from the board, I only suggested using the money King said was there for January now to bring in a quality CB. My point was that the budget we have should be more than enough to see off the likes of Kilmarnock and Hamilton, you can't really blame the board for the poor performances against bottom table teams.

gersandy 594 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Lets not hit the panic button just yet lads. After all, the club is still running at a loss. Do we really want to get into £10 million debt just to try and win the league? Lets get Rangers on a level footing financially. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyDawson72 213 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Anyone thinks we are winning this league needs their heads checked. My biggest worry is that even if we had money MW wouldn't spend it as he is passionate about developing young players. Secondly we don't have any money. Thirdly they have a proper manager now. We won't even finish in the top 3 this season. The new signings are shite and we are weaker than last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 King and his tight arse is just one part of the problem. The people who says we should still beating Kilmarnock regardless are correct too. King and his mob are lying bastards. This can't even be a surprise to anyone anymore. My biggest annoyance is how can Kris Boyd play off the shoulders of our defenders, outpace them despite being about 20 stone and finish like that. It sums up everything that's wrong with us at the moment. I'm sick hearing Warburton say the same nonsense after every game. Nothing is ever done about it. If we never beat the fenians last season serious questions would be getting asked about everyone from management to the players to the custodians. Maybe it's time to start asking these questions ...

Have some ambition FFS lol your are stupid The thread title is "You win nothing on the cheap mr king" Well Leicester did win something on the relative cheap(as did Hibs in Scotland) & that is undeniable fact, the rest of the post is blah, blah blah. Our teams balance is clearly all over the shop, we are still struggling to find the best players for our formation, our own Andy Halliday takes a fair bit of stick but last year when playing in the holding position that we were so desperate to fill he was doing as good a job in there as either Barton or Rossiter have done in the position this season so far, he was also linking brilliantly with wee Barrie on the left which was helping Wallace to push up the park so much better last year, wee Holt was dropping in to help when needed, as well as linking middle to front much better than we have done this year. They all seemed to know their roles better. Our midfield is way, way to static now, with Barton and Rossiter playing too deep much of the time & almost stepping on each others toes at times, unless they can adapt there`s only one position available between them that`s for sure. Get more dynamic players back in the middle of the park( Windass looked the part, hopefully big Crooks will too) and we`ll see an instant improvement in the way we are playing & the results will also improve again. I can only hope MW is given the time to bed the new guys but it seems only a matter of time till the howls of derision start by the looks of it. We have the players, we just need to figure out the best way to deploy them imo. For all it`s been disappointing the league isn't won or lost in August & I still genuinely believe that one more decent CH will see us there or thereabouts come the end of the season. No Surrender!

K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I said at the end of last season too that it's Roy of the Rovers stuff expecting to fill a team full of freebies without spending decent money and expect it to get us the benefits we deserve. If it was that easy every team would be doing it. There's a balance to be had. You do need to spend, but spend wisely. The signings we've made with the exception of Windass has slowed down our play and makes us unrecogniseable or are squad options like Hodson and Gilks and Dodoo.

Not settling for second Wanting the absolute best for the club Having the willingness to put hands in pocket, relative to wealth, if the club needed it or the opportunity to do so arose. Traditionally you could have said character and moral fortitude, we haven't seen much of that in the boardroom since Mr Marlborough, sadly thats been replaced by the need to be vigilant about the procession of shysters who have held and hold the reigns at the club since.

Our squad should be well capable of beating a team of kids and only ten men for half an hour.

bobdylaniscrap 121 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 What has not been mentioned in this tit for tat thread David Cunningham King was a member of the original board who led our institution into the Whyte fiasco. I believe King has the best intentions for our club be it through guilt or duty, his main fault was his mouth and his 'children's inheritance' declaration, it would now appear this was said to win favour with the support. Quote DK: It wouldn’t be a loan. It would be equity. The club wouldn’t have to repay it. I have lost £20m in Rangers already and I’m happy to lose another £30m because I love the team. I don’t want to be arrogant but it might be easier for me to lose £30m than it is for some fans to afford season tickets. Some of them struggle to put shoes on their kids’ feet but they buy season tickets because they love Rangers. I am the same. I just happen to be in a more fortunate position and I want to do something about it. I am not going away 25/3/14. So if Warburton won't spend a proportion of King's money can we really blame David Cunningham King member of the original board Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you have been his chief bugle blower maybe you could post up his blog?

I've heard a rumour it's a cardinal O'Brian & philth mcgillivan double act! You'll love that Alphonse. Most on here will know fine well that I backed Dave King & the 3 bears to take control back from the last incumbents, you trying to use that as an insult says more about you than it does me. We both know that you'd be far happier with the last lot still raping the arse off our Club if it meant King and co hadn't wrestled control back. I'd imagine that's why many of us see you post your usual nonsense & simply think 'turd' Do you know Al Capone was tested before his death and found to have the mental ability of a 12 yr old!

We've been running at losses for half a decade. Why do idiots like you think every penny of ST money should be spent on players? ST cash is the Iife blood of the club, always has been always will be. It's there to pay for everything. Not to pay for new players if our costs are higher than our income. It's the ultimate irony cunts like you bang on incessantly about business practice's of board members while offering such a retarded alternative. I made similar arguments when people were getting slaughtered for not boycotting season tickets because the Easdales were in charge For what it's worth I agree we need to be realistic with the finances and not go down the chasing the dream route again, but King was hyperbolic about the amount of money we were going to spend in previous interviews and I think he's gotten off lightly for it compared to others like Green because he's seen as a Rangers man Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
