I was merely pointing out that if the club brings in some new players paid in aggregate £100,000 a week, the company might struggle to reach analysts' forecasts.Best wishesKateOn 17 December 2012 16:37, Andrew Duncan wrote:> I wont keep you long , Just wish to point out rangers have never paid> a player 100K per week , Proper research would have enabled you to be> aware of this.> > > > But its the old adage , don’t let the facts get in the way of an article .> > > > A.Duncan--Kate BurgessFinancial Times Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac 1,405 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Email her back and ask her to edit the piece and add the word aggregate. And also define it. Does she mean the aggregate for the entire squad? Two players? Three? Four? She just doesn't do numbers which is worrying for a financial newspaper.

GMac 1,405 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 In fairness, its probably all those times she's been told its a 12 inch cock when it turns out to be the aggregate of the five of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbryce 63 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 well done mate. But say we bring in 15 players on100k "on aggregate" - where's the problem? Stupid woman knows nothing about anything. Tell her to get the dinner on.We play something like 25 home games per year, so they would need to bring in an extra £200,000 per match in ticket sales and TV revenue. That means about £4 extra on the ticket price, and £72 extra on the season ticket price. When we are back in Europe, that is an extra home and away match for every qualifying and knock-out stage we get to, and 3 home and 3 away matches for the group stage, with associated extra gate and TV revenue. If we can manage that, and I guess we probably can, then there is no problem. If we can't, then there is a problem. I guess you should reply saying that those numbers are most likely achievable and see what she says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 What irks me a bit is the fact that 33% of Rangers total income will probably be much more than 66% of the diddy clubs income but none of these 'experts' comment on that.

nelsonRFC82 305 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Nonsense, and just trying to cover herself.Our current wage bill is £7m; lower than Hearts! Even if we added an aggregate £100k per week to that, we would have a wage bill of £11m...half of what it was when previously in SPL.She has little knowledge of football finances and even less knowledge of Rangers and therefore should not have been writing a fucking article about us...that said, how many of Scottish tabloid press could the exact same accusation be levelled at!

Or do you see a wage cap of some sort?Just read your post on this thread. You do realise it says £100k PER WEEK, not per year? 15 players at £100k per week would be a total of £78m per annum which is utter nonsense.
