Ozblue 4,332 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Unfortunately, McMurdo is stating the obvious if we are to reach the level that Charles Green aspires to while still operating at a profit for investors as the face of football changes.The only way Green can do this is utilise every available way of bringing in money OR raising the price of season tickets to the point where the supporters will begin to grumble at the cost.It's no good trying to live a champagne lifestyle on a fucking beer budget,so we either settle for being top of the pile in the Scottish system,or get ready for a new order in European leagues,IF it happens as Green predicts.I personally would be very wary of renaming Ibrox,depending on the name and the finacial gains on offer. As naming us the Ikea Rangers or some other shite, no fucking way,Billy Boy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I would be up for renaming Ibrox, but fuck renaming the name of the team. Thats just too far imo. Is that what we've got to look forward to? a future where thousands will gather to watch a grudge match between McDonalds FC and Starbucks Rovers?

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Good article,money talks.Not too keen on the stadium being renamed,or anything else but if you offer some serious money that would make our club stronger for years to come I would be disappointed in Charles Green for not accepting it.

ger50champ 300 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm not to bothered about the renaming of Ibrox stadium as long as it brings in loads of money for the club ,beggars would probably just copy us anyway .One thing would always stay the same though for us .Ibrox stadium would still be the lions den and rodents place would still and always will be the Scumdome piggery Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethemighty 186 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Renaming Ibrox isnt as bad as some suggest, it will always be Ibrox to us. Doing what the owners of Cardiff City did ie changing the colours of the strip etc is a big no though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,491 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If it brings in money then I don't mind if the stadium is gave a new name, I think in the future nearly all the big clubs will have a sponsor on its stadium.It has been happening in England for years now.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I doubt anyone would want to rename the team, especially if it would drive away much of the fanbase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,258 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Rangers then, Rangers now, Rangers for ever.Don't even think about changing our club name, they'll be wanting to change the colours next Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fools Gold 488 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I understand that everything may have its price, but for me it's a step too far incorporating the sponsor into the team name.As for the stadium? Of course, as long as it's a copious amount of money. I couldn't care less about the advertising around the stadium either.It's all about the team on the pitch. And we will always call our magnificent stadium, Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
