Aye fair enough. So what do you suggest we do instead then - abandon the team we have supported since boys, give up our season tickets and buy fucking shoes on a Saturday, week in week out next season?
The value of Rangers isn't on the park, or the board, or the blazers, or the stadium that is partly in hock; its us, with our wallets - the bums on the seats- the 40 odd thousand that turn up at Ibrox. At on average £20 a seat (season ticket discount) that's £800k a week, and we'll have played 25 games at home this season. This and TV rights, merchandising, etc, that is a bing of cash.
Whilst its a way of life and a philosophy for us mere mortals, for the rest of them its either a cash cow business or simply a job that pays exceptionally well. Any one of the dross that was on the pitch on Sunday would leave tomorrow if there was a higher pay packet offered somewhere else. Any one of us would play for them for free, and play with way more passion than was on display at the weekend. The current management and players of Rangers FC are only interested in our money and are a fucking disgrace to our badge, our history, our tradition and what we represent. We are being taken for granted.
Mr King and board, if you wont or cant put the money in; if you are not going to get us back listed as a proper business on the stock exchange so that people will invest in us; if you are not going to run us properly without all these court cases, fucking people over and whataboutery; if you do not actually have the best interests of Rangers FC at heart and are in this for some ulterior motive (such as getting back your original investment) then please step aside and let someone come in who will do the right thing by us - the supporters. You have toyed with us and lied to us for long enough.
This is not sustainable. 20.7 million pounds in debt and we've been on the go for 6 years? A 22 million pound IPO and nobody knows where all the money has gone and all these shit players on big money contracts that we cant get rid of, whilst we give away our best young prospects for free ? Small time managers being hired who don't have the vision, experience or capability needed because any big names are not willing to touch us with a barge pole or we cant afford them; umpteen players on loan deals - how is that planning for the future?
There should be a queue of guys down the road wanting to manage as well as invest in us.
We are Glasgow Rangers FFS...
