Why did King think this was a good idea? Dunno - he’s managed to kick the arse out of Friday’s feel good factor in one fell swoop! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,597 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 All a bit silly this. King always gives press briefings and interviews the few times a year he is here. He never says anything ground breaking in these statements. Nobody from the club had ever said anything about external investment being discussed. Also nobody at the club implied anything about the 6m share issue being our transfer budget. Seems like people are just picking up random rumours and running with them. At the same time, I agree that we realistically need a 10-20M to dramatically improve our squad but none of us know the real figures or what is going on in the background.

They reduce to £20-25k a week and have the privilege of representing Rangers and helping out Gerrard. I think he could definitely convince some on that list that the Sweet guy made. We could not afford that for all those players not that they would do that when they can make much more in America. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was too much hype and rumour surrouding today's press conference. Now people are freaking out. Nothing was said today that 6m was all we have for new players. There is need for big money to improve the playing sqaud and it needs to be invested wisely. I still belive Gerrard hasn't come here without guarntees he will get the funds he needs to improve the sqaud. He'll know what he is working with and it won't be announced to the press.

If we have no new revenue streams, shirts aside, and we currently run at a loss, currently have over 20m in debt then, at some point we need new revenue streams and/or substantial new backers. Our current shareholders do not have the wherewithal to invest, meaningfully, in the club. on top of this, any cunt who listened to his bank account story and didn’t think ‘what the actual fuck’ needs to get out more often calling a presser I expected, as a minimum, news of a substantial new partnership, what we got was not even an attempt to polish the turd. the place is a financial basket case, today seems to do nothing other than suggest no change in the foreseeable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I would be raging if we announced what kind of money we had to spend. That goes whether we had King, Murray, David Holmes or fuckin uncle tom cobley at the helm. Thats revealing your hand. Gerrard will have, as my best guess, significantly more than Pedro got. But that should be kept indoors. Let the club get on with player recruitment over the summer and hopefully they tramps fuck up qualifying for the Champions League then it's game on!

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 53 minutes ago, BlueKnight87 said: What others clubs do you see announcing there transfer budgets publically. They don't because it makes trying to get players they want more difficult. The selling club bump up there price now knowing the funds are there to meet it. So no club produces accounts giving other clubs an idea what they have to spend. If a club bumps up the price walk away there is always another player out there, do that enough times and the penny drops that we won’t be dictated to. This pish about hiding what we have to spend is just that pish, King just told anyone wanting to listen we have around 6mill we spent 10mill last season so a logical guess would be around 12mill to spend. Oh look that’s the price just went up for any player we fancy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
