    Ally McCoist agrees with Graham Wallace that it may take five years

    I dont agree with a fiveyear plan. I think its a good sound bite to keep the rabid media at bay.

    We will be in the premier league in 17 months time and we must challenge Celtic for the title with secound place should be a must or Ally must go.

    Watch this space - by the time we are back the interest and investment will make Rangers and Ibrox one of the bets places to be for a footballer with aspirations and we will be signing quality while the mhanks sign pigeon junkies like Griffiths!

    You certainly are, there would be no Auchenhowie (note the name) or Ibrox to attend without the associated costs to their continued existence, which are part and parcel of their running costs. (tu)

    You dont have a clue! If we binned Murray Park what of the costs I named above would we save? Where would we train and how would we bring through youth players such as Lewis McLeod, Alan Hutton, Charlie Adam, Danny Wilson, Chris Burke, Ross McCormack, Jamie Ness etc etc

    As stated before Murray park will cost no more that £1.5m a year to run

    Other operating expenses include all costs of running the business except player wages.

    This would include

    All non playing staff costs

    Marketing

    Ticketing

    Policing

    Security

    Travel & accommodation

    Lawers fees

    Accountant fees

    Shops & mercahndise costs

    and a hole host of other business activity

    So to say that running costs of Ibrox & Murray Park make up a significant amount of this is totally ignorant!

    It costs no less than £12 million a year before a ball is kicked to service and run Ibrox and Auchenhowie, we need Ibrox... the holiday camp that is Auchenhowie is a luxury the club cannot at this time afford.

    They account for £12 million of expenditure alone no mystery where the money has gone or goes.

    If you can explain how it cost £12m to run I would be very interested. Murray Park only cost £14m to build!

    The running costs of Murray Park not including staff will be no more than £1m. Ibrox £2m estimate. What costs are there apart from Council Rates, Heat & Light, General Maintenance, Water Rates, Security, relayin the pitch once a year!

    Murray Park is no bigger than a 5 football pitches, one indoor and a gym complex. Bloody huge industrial buildings with equipment worth millions dont cost over £4m to run!

    What a stupid topic this is!

    Anyone who thinks we should move back to training in public parks need their heads examined.

    Murray Park is a world class facility for both the first team and youth academy.

    If anything we should invest more in the youth coaches and spend less on a squad we dont need at present.

    Revenues and Costs

    To me the figure look about right but I would expect other costs to drop by more than £2m as there were more one off costs in year one and this was also a 13 month accounting period.

    Wages should drop down by about £4m if it is true that player wages will be about 45% of turnover (45% of £22m = £9.9m) and other staff costs are about £2m.

    I would personally get rid of a few players in January as a 27 man squad is to big in this division. Perry, Cribari, Hutton & Dean Sheils should be moved on. Saving of about £0.75m there.

    I would expect next season in the Championship with the likely hood we will be joined by Hearts that season tickets will go up by 20% and take up will be about the 40k mark if the board room settles. This should see about an extra £4m in revenues.

    So as long as we dont spend out on new players (we have the squad to get back to the top flight now) and dont pay the execs huge bonuses we should start making some profits by year three.

    Back in the top flight we will need the likes of King and others to invest in the team (about £15m would do). However with increased season tickets, TV money, Sponsorship that will be generated with our return revenues will be back up towards the £35m to £40m in year 4 so we can afford the new player wages. When we get back with no debt we will be back in a great position.

    The manky mob may think they have millions being saved up to fight us on our return but ill guarantee you right now that they dont spend the Lion share of it as they are not as well off as the media would have you believe and they are also built on the biscuit tin mentality and the only charity they believe in i the charity that stays at home in Liarwells retirement package for financial performance!

    Team for next season

    I think the team is shaping up nicely for next season. Still need a center half and do not want Boca or Goian back at their ages and salary it would be daft. I would take Danny Wilson back in a heart beat.

    My Team would be

    ----------------------Bell-----------------------

    Cole--McCulloch--New signing--Wallace

    -----Peralta-------Law------MacLeod------

    -----------------Templeton--------------------

    --------------Little-------Daily-----------------

    Subs

    Gallacher

    Hegarty

    Aird

    Sheils

    Clark

    Personally I would punt

    Argyriou

    Cribari

    Black

    Hutton
