Davie2909 21 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thebank maybe alot of things but they are not stupid therefore they will not demand all players sold to reduce the debt. However what they may ask is that some players are sold and replaced with cheaper ones like Boogie sold for a profit and a % used for his replacement etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kplfishtank 4,657 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 my take on this is rangers need to be very careful here its all well saying we will lose a lot of top players but what incentive does this give to season ticket holders and box holders do we really think that everyone will take out a season book to watch inferior players at the same price or worse still even more money In all my years of ticket buying I never once 'looked at the menu' to paraphrase some twat or other. I always knew I was going to see The Rangers and that's what I always got. That was enough in itself. I shouldn't have to state that of course I wanted to see the best football. The outlook you allude to would be similar to that of the thousands who took a hike in the early eighties. I can't attend much at all now since I moved to France, but when I can I will no matter who's playing for us. The Rangers isn't a hobby. Though the streets be broad and narrrow! sadly in this day and age of downsizing following us is a hobby what youve wrote sounds good but in all honesty you dont really believe that i remember the eighties and i will remember our next barren spell but its a fact of life that others will look to other forms of entertainment if season book sales do go down then fairweather fans will pick and choose games accordingly(at the moment only old firm games are sold out) look at our semi final last week we had less than 16,000 fans at hampden yet come the final we wont have a public sale why is that?

Its 'straits' be broad or narrow. And anyone who decides to stay away because whoever is in charge of the purse strings is basically tearing the team up to shreds has every right to do so. This isn't a question of loyalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radlord 24 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I think the OP meant "decimated". More bollocks by the hacks. Apparently Walter and Boyd were to be gone in January. Didnt happen. heh, yeah he did mean that I'm sure but I'm also sure Manti will be along shortly to say 'decimated' is used incorrectly too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,609 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 People who think that we'll lose just two players in the summer have a harsh reality check on the way! aye but what players will we lose papa lose shagger, alexander becomes number 1, still SPL class easily lose boughie after a storming world cup, wilson and a.n.other bosman buy comes in, walt knows a CB when he sees one lose boyd.............................. still to be decided lose davis.............................. will at least get our money back if he keeps up his form other players are expendable, beasley, thommo, edu, novo, broadfoot, all these players have replacements in the youth team that everyone keeps touting for a first team slot the protracted fire sale in january didnt happen, so who's to say in the summer when we REDUCE our debt it will be worse?

harry handsome 629 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Here we go again, who do we believe. Facts that we are aware of. We need to pay 1 million a year off the debt, i would presume we need to cover the interest payment then the 1 million which could mean a couple of million depending on interest agreed. We have been told that we didnt need to sell more players as we were trading well. As for the rumours, yes there may be no smoke without fire but i refuse to believe some of this shit. They must be sitting in the boardroom to know all this, i reckon its more like the bored room where they make things up out of boredom. We sit 10 points and 20 goals ahead of the scottish barcelona and have a management team in place that have motivated a very ordinary pool of players into this position. Lets deal with winning the league and getting into the champions league first then worry about the issues that may arise in the future, the team and club needs the backing now on the pitch. I know that the future of Rangers will never be a worry because the fans will step up to the plate and save the club. I have no worries about our club and its future, we are the people.

Swagger 8,133 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 What fucking hacks me off is the fact that people from the club continually go on about the financial situation - we all know its bad so why does Smith have to come out again just last week and remind us. Other supporters thrive on it and all it does is make other teams think Rangers are easy pickings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosstheger 7 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The way I see it, things will get much much worse. I expect mega sales in the summer. I also think there will be a change in manager aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get complacent lads, if Watty is coming out with things IT WILL BE FOR GOOD REASON he's way too clever for anything else. Yes your right to cite that we are 10pts clear etc but what about next year? Will you be happy to be 10pts or more behind the Earls this time next year? There is only so much Watty can do and of course he is doing a sterling job at the moment IMO. But if we sell Boogy Shagger etc over the Summer and nobody comes in, well ..................... If we sit back and say nothing now we're fucked for next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
