Breaking news
Ian Black makes statement 'I totally deny these allegations and just want to concentrate on playing for The Sons of William Hill'

Just before Timmy gets all excited and accuses him of matchfixing;
Please note that there is no evidence to suggest any breach of Disciplinary Rule 23 (Rule 34 in updated Judicial Panel Protocol for season 2013/14).
Disciplinary Rule 23, for reference: No club, official, Team Official, other member of Team Staff, player, match official or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall knowingly behave in a manner, during or in connection with a match in which the party has participated or has any influence, either direct or indirect, which could give rise to an event in which they or any third party benefits financially through betting

You have to ask though, if this claim is genuine and these commercial deals are proven to be signed, with the project income, then it makes a mockery of a lot of statements, or do these tie in with Mathers statement about plans layer for the future gathering momentum now?
However this is gonna boil down to a show us the deals now........
Unless they are in the interims under future expectations or something.
But like many would rather get back to the football, till the accounts are digested and explained one way or another, wish they would all stop their pish.

We will have to see what the audited accounts say. Yes, we will make a loss as it is the 1st year start up accounts with a lot of one-off buys, 2 shops at Airport and Belfast, Edmiston House, Albion, Player buy offs etc etc. Any new Company makes a loss in the first year, that's normal. So when these accounts do come out, I just hope folk will have a good look before guessing what's this or what's that, if you don't know, don't try to guess, try to get an answer first.
The accounts go from June to June, season to season, so monies for season 2013/14 which include ST money, Pay at the Gate, 2013/14 Shirts, Blackthorn, Puma, Corporate, Naming Rights, Stadium Sponsors and other Income etc will not show until Accounts as at June 2014, the one off buys of last season will not.

I notice alot of new posters and posters with suspiciously low post counts on this thread....just saying!

Why the fuck can people not wait until the accounts come out before panicing like fuck?
Fuck me with a shitey stick some of the ff brigade on here are doing my tits in.

It has for some

The Rangers Standard (Anti Green branch) got permission to tweet

I hope Fury & Frankie don't have pet rabbits

This is getting tedious

This is getting tedious

This is what's known as a good "flushing" thread

Some people, for reasons best known to themselves, are intent on repeating the bheastly £1 million a month lie despite proof that its a fabrication

The £1 million a month nonsense comes from the interim accounts that showed an operating loss of £7 million. The fact there were several one off costs within this has been conveniently ignored. I gave a more detailed rebuttal in another thread a couple of days ago.

I'm not in the OO
Ya fanny

Exactly - if any thread should be culled its not the Orange parade one, its this shit.
No quotes, no facts just shit stirring from the media

Oh and Mr Traynor - earn your wage

I am led to believe that Rangers Finance Director Brian Stockbridge is to award himself a substantial wage CUT due to recent criticisms of the directorial remuneration structure at Ibrox.
Stockbridge is determined to demonstrate he is not at Ibrox just to make a quick buck; having spoken to him previously he let me know emphatically that he sees himself at Rangers for the long haul.
This should be good news for the Ibrox faithful because, although he is not one to blow his own trumpet, I know he works tirelessly to keep the wieldy Ibrox ship on course fiscally and has made massive dents into superfluous expenditure commitments racked up by previous big-spending administrators at the club.
In addition, he is helping to bring in deals that boost the club’s revenues and was a key player in the Huawei WIFI deal just recently announced.
As I have said before, Stockbridge is doing a fantastic job at Ibrox and, although he came in as part of the Charles Green consortium, he has managed to scotch any suggestions that he is a fast buck player. He has very much settled down in Scotland and Gers fans should be aware that his family is Scottish and he hails from a long line of bluenoses.
Rangers fans can rest easy knowing the club has a safe pair of hands directing its financial business.
That said, today’s media reports about Charles Green’s unhappiness at Rangers’ free-spending ways since he departed the CEO chair may alarm a few in the bluenose support.
There is concern among certain sections of the Ibrox fanbase that Ally McCoist is building a monster squad which can only be a drag on the club’s finances.
Recent pronouncements from the club tend to confirm this as the line has been taken that players must be moved on in the transfer window.
The ongoing tensions in the boardroom tend to be around this issue. Some investors want a board that will impose tighter fiscal controls on the club while others seem to favour a return to the days when Rangers’ chequebook was always open in good times or bad.
News of redundancies at the club doesn’t help bolster confidence, although it could be argued that they are part of necessary cost-cutting. Admittedly, that is no great comfort to those who are losing their jobs.
As always, there is a balanced path that can be taken in all of this. Rangers must ensure they have a squad capable of taking the club back to the top tier but there is no harm in doing this within strict and prudent cost-base parameters.
Running a football club at a profit is a very tricky business at any level but that is what those tasked with the business affairs of Rangers must do. The great danger at any club is when the demands of the team management derail wise business practices. We saw this happen all too often in the Murray years – Tore Andre Flo being a classic example.
It’s understandable that managers always want to improve their squad but we live in an age where more than ever team bosses must work hand in glove with the money men at clubs and be aware of limitations.
Given the need for financial modesty, it might not be too much to ask certain other highly-paid employees at Ibrox to follow the example of Brian Stockbridge and take a wage cut for the good of the club.
After all, as the famous adverts says, Every Little Helps.
Some people are going to have to find another hate figure

Maybe you should start then?
