Hope not but i cant see any way we can avoid liquidation. Club running at a loss and big tax bill still to be announced.
Save 1 million a month.
We have 177 staff members, it should be done but there needs to be cuts.
We also froze 3.5million from Whyte so hopefully we can get that too.

I believe this but I dont believe he is on 20k a week.
No chance.
Well done Super anyway.
-
I would see which players are willing to take cuts and then do it from there.
Its impossible to make this decision if you dont know what the players are getting paid and if they are willing to take a pay cut or not.

you know, when BBC released the documentary on Whyte, it showed a little graph where each of Whytes companies where represented with a circle. It then showed some of them turning red as they released the bombshell of all the companies he has liquidated. This was less than half of the circles on the graph.
what about the other half? what happened to them?
I've raised concern about Whyte right from the start, i never believed he had over 100m that would be needed, as no-one can tell me how he made a penny. But consider this, he took out a 24m loan. thus, he must have at least that in assets (and you would assume a fair bit more considering this would be a massive gamble it it was his entire net worht). He also owns a 5m castle in Scotland and 3m apartment in Monaco. So the guy must be doing somthing right when he buys over failing companies. Perhaps his strategy is to buy high risk businesses and try to put them on a proper financial footing (hence some of the going bust. Rangers certainly fits that bill, considering we had 18m debt to Lloyds alone & the huge tax bill).
We'd all love a clean cut billionaire to simply come in and throw money around, but that never happened, so now we have to put up with a guy who it would seem has made millions from getting his hands dirty in these situations.

it doesnt seem to me that he blatantly lied about ticketus, but more along the lines of he tried to simply brush the record article off.
""I can categorically assure supporters that when I launched a takeover bid for the club it was funded entirely from one of my companies and that was demonstrated clearly to the satisfaction of the previous owner, Lloyds Banking Group and professional advisers."
as you can see, the tabloids are obviously going to pain this picture of "Whyte swindels rangers buy buying club with fans money". When in actual fact, the money was given to Whyte, and he is liable for it personally, but an agreement is in palce to repay that money with 60% of ST sales for 3 years.
IMO some of the fans need to stop being so insulted that they think Whyte told some lies and subsequently want to kick his head in. He is what he is, and it would seem, liek i mentioned before, he has over 24 million reasons to get Rangers out this mess.
Too much sense for this thread.
-
Whats the latest on this?
Preferably I wouldn't want the old regime back but I just want this club out of this mess.
-
Ffs.
It just gets worse and worse.
Im sorry but im struggling to see how we will get out of this mess without a takeover and someone willing to pledge money.
-
Yep.
There is an MMA news thread and usually a thread made on the night of the event.
Im looking forward to it, stacked card and a 4 hour show instead of the usual 3 with a 7 fight main card.
-
Not being rude but there's no point asking on here.
People know fuck all and are just making vast assumptions using a lot of guesswork.
Pretty much this.
-
Definetly.
At 100 quid a year it would take 10,000 fans to make a million.
Possible?
-
Meh.
A story that only the Daily Record are running with against the statement last night released from the administrators.
I dunno but we will see, if this is our only hope of survival then Whyte has fucked us with these administrators because if we are struggling that badly why are we not making cuts? why did the administrators say everything is positive and liquidation is not likely?
If this is true it would mean MORE lying and I just dont see it.
They have probably got a tip that the administrators were trying to contact whoever but cant get a hold of them and they have turned it into this pish.
-
now they are saying whytes lawyers are not cooperating with the administrators in the search for cash and if they don't start soon we won't last more than a few days.
Why would that be the case?
-
As opposed to, "We know nothing, so lets believe any and all unproven accusations and hang Whyte before he's been tried", I think its a common sense approach.
Exactly what I was thinking there.
-
-
I agree with him.
He just said he deserved a phone call, even to say it wasnt going to happen instead of being flat out ignored.
Some of our fans are embarrassing at times.
-
Do they understand the irony in writing "HMRC" on a tricolour?
They dont understand anything thats the problem.
-
I highly doubt this is the case.
-
Fuck right off.
We dont need this, steady the ship.
We need to be making more cuts not signing players for fuck all.
-
The whole 'Im going to shoot him' thing is so cringeworthy.
Did Haye really bottle him? Or did he just punch him with the bottle still in his hand?
Hitting his trainer over the head with a tripod
Right hand with bottle in his hand.
Left hand.
Left to his trainer.
Right to his trainer.
:lol: -
Make drastic cuts and nail down second place.
Give the tarriers a pumping at least once aswell.
Fuck the title, for me its all about the survival of this Football Club.

SALIM SALIM SALIM KERKAR!

What??
we make 35 m a year and it cost 45 m to run our club. thats -10 m on a yearly basis. (which would just about balance out with euro football)
we have to make cuts to survive never mind paying anyone back, hence admin.
What im saying is we have revenue of 35 million a year which means we make a lot of money, we could easily turn that into a profit if we made cuts.
If were to cut down so we were running on a profit then we would be able to pay them back over many years.
-
It can't be negotiated on because the verdict hasn't been given nor a fixed repayable sum yet.
Load of pish.
Not true.
-
Hopefully.
If we have revenue of 35 million then we could easily pay that back if we make cuts.
I just hope the fans realise that if something like this does happen we may not be seeing that title for a good few years.
