Broxi 11,484 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Interestingly, King says "all season ticket money will go towards the playing squad". Doesn't 35,000 season tickets (not even final number after public sale) equate to like £15m? I'll believe that when I see it, but hopefully a good chunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our wage bill is about £10m, so will cover that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The board don't deserve us it's as simple as that ... more than a little concerned about Pedro getting the guts of 15 million though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I haven't had a season ticket, I just guessed an average price of £450 because I looked into it last year. But when you add further sales to come it must get close to around £15m. Also it would be a bit misleading to say it's "all being invested into the playing squad" and then use it to cover the existing wage bill.

Aubie92 1,074 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Nah, that can't be right. Walking away is the Rangers way - the sheep shaggers said so last night. And if anyone knows about that it's them, given how most of them fucked off and stopped supporting their team for a decade when they were beyond shite.

Think the average we get per ticket is about £300 after deductions, might be wrong though. I don't think it's misleading, it's fairly obvious.

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 37000 at £430 average is just short of £16 million a will be surprised if we even spent half of that on the squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
