With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Are we bargain basement FC now? The cheap banners at Ibrox papering over the cracks The manager no one's heard of The lack of a NOMAD and other broken promises The cheap 16 quid template top with some badges added on Are we going to be buying everything on the cheap these days? What happened to the millions in investment? We've got a few PlayStation tho, even then it's last year's FIFA on them We've invested in the squad but going cheap elsewhere, it's like the board are unable to balance the budget properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Might be a manager we've never heard of but we paid a big whack of a fee as compensation and he's on close to the same package as McCoist was on. We've also spent more on players than the rest of Scottish Football combined as it stands today - although would be amazed if the filth don't spend big before the window shuts. So in answer to your question - in terms of money no. In term so quality - aye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be demanding a higher standard then, they're going to charge 55 quid for it no doubt which means folk are paying 40 quid for a badge, folk have waited for years to buy tops and now they're being offered cheap shite when the fans are already paying for everything else at the Club due to our cheapskate owner Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Nail on the head, I'm afraid. Warburton was a cheap option and Caixinha was, too. Warburton signed mostly free transfers while this summer's transfer activity has merely been met with "undisclosed" fees; I refuse to believe that we paid £2M/£3M for Pena. Look at the situation with Jamie Walker; we're haggling over a couple of thousand quid, for fuck's sake. The banners are criminal. They look beyond tacky and it even irritates me that, like with safe standing, we got them/will get it after the tarriers did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main reason for Warburton leaving was he never got his top targets I can remember him saying if it came down to the money we would not get the Player.

Clubs miss-out on transfer targets on a regular basis. The Barton and Kranjcar business was a clear backing from the board because while they were free, their salaries were huge in comparison to most of our squad. Warburton wasn't good enough and I believe the pressure generated by that led to his departure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Warburton away as much as anyone but how much of that was down to him being poorly funded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact some areas of Ibrox still haven't been cleaned is ridiculous. This fan zone thing is totally unnecessary aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wullyRFC 5,230 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What's the difference between money spent on players and money received from sales? Can't be that far away. If it is and we've used ST money we'll probably run out of cash at the end of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Scott 24 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 You can't expect massive investment if the money isn't there. Just need to be patient, it's going to be a tough few years but we'll get back on our feet if the fans get behind the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
