    My mistake.

    I misread the Puma deal as £3m when they were talking about the Hummel deal being around £3m a year.

    The question I asked still stands though. In terms of the RR deal was it the case RR got the sponsorship fee from Puma, rather than it going straight to the club.

     

    There is no indication anywhere that any puma money went to RR, indeed the accounts are at great pains to stress it is a deal between Puma and The Rangers.

    Alex was a 12 stone battering ram of a winger, wee WIllie was a different mould altogether.

    Denis Law said ''He came up the best in the world, and defeated them with skill, ability and class. That's why he was a great player.'' 

    George Best: ''My Dad's a great judge and he said Willie was one of the greats. If he said it, you believed it. I know Willie really was a genius.''

    To be getting more than the 7% we were getting from RR would have to have been the greatest deal in retail history, as obviously RR profit was 14% of which we received half, 7%

    Normal margins are between 4% to 9%, so RR obviously did exceptionally well....even Chanel couldn't attain much above what RR did.

    Everything seems backwards FC for Centre Forward so only assume Midfield Central 

    Iniesta was oft described as MC or as you say Mid Central.

    It was Charlie Reep an RAF officer that started the number crunching that started to change how teams used tactics, the mantra was that three passes or less ended up with more goals scored.....and he was right.

    We don't get the £60 from each strip, we don't even get half of that.    We certainly haven't sold 200k strips either.

    The legal costs to date are over £1 million and rising.

    The whole merchandise deal is a complete shambles.

    we won't have been getting anywhere near the 7% we were getting from RR for absolutely no financial input.

    What we have is chaps imagining point of sale is a magic beans figure, with no costs to be serviced from point of sail price.

    So your saying If we’ve sold  say 200 k strips at £60 a pop not one penny is going to the club??

    Thats 12 million going to SD?

     

     

    You are saying 200k strips no one else, you do not seem to understand a high court Judge has decreed we do not have any contracts with Elite nor them with us, hone up on it 👍

    Treble season 1948/49, the year of the Iron Curtain

    Our first treble, back in season 1948/49, is probably the least celebrated of the record 7 trebles we have won.

    A last-day dramatic title win at Albion Rovers in the league, on a day the prolific Willie Thornton scored a hat-trick, saw the title regained from the great Hibs team of the time.

    The League Cup was only in its third season, and Rangers won it for the second time, beating Raith Rovers 2-0 in the final.

    The Scottish Cup was retained in front of 120,162 at Hampden as Clyde were beaten 4-1.

    Rangers played a total of 44 games that season, and although the magnificent Thornton played a huge part in the clean sweep by scoring 34 goals, the triumph was built on the most famous defence in the history of the club, and of Scottish football.

    In the days of the 3-2-5 formations Rangers line-up for virtually the whole season saw Bobby Brown in goal, full backs George Young and Jock Shaw either side of centre half Willie Woodburn, behind Ian McColl and Sammy Cox at half back.

    This was the great Iron Curtain.

    In that season of 44 games, Bobby Brown played in all 44. George Young in 42. Jock Shaw captained the side and appeared 41 times. Willie Woodburn played in 42 games. Ian McColl in 41 matches. And Sammy Cox made 43 appearances.

    The rocks on which Mr Struth built his latest great Rangers team were virtually ever-present, and such was their combination of ability, determination, dedication and organisation, they are remembered to this day. All 6 players gave Rangers at least a decade of service, and in total they played an almost unbelievable 3169 times for the club.

    All 6 players are in the Hall of Fame, and they all deserve a place at the top table in among that company.

    Their names, and the Iron Curtain nickname, will live on forever as part of the great history of The Rangers Football Club    .

    Amongst the countless medals and trophies they collected, they were the biggest reason why the first treble in the history of Scottish football was won.

    I doubt there will ever be a defensive unit to rival them in terms of longevity, consistency and success. Anywhere.

     

    Those that didn't know what a half back was ....certainly do now !
