trueblue68 2,497 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 CRAIG MATHER has assured Rangers fans the club is living within its means and revealed the first-team players’ wage bill is currently lower than it was last season.http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/4517-living-within-our-means Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,803 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 But I thought Ally's spending was going to lead us into another financial abyss? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBelfastGer 66 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 So there won't be any more of this losing £1million a month business? I didn't think the wage bill would be that lower considering we have our largest squad in some time now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 From last seasons squad we have had 6 players out and 7 players in.Those who bleat on and on about how our squad is too big and we can't afford this and that have no clue what they are talking about.The key here is those same people won't believe what Mather is telling us.

Columbo 588 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I wonder how much % we were paying if any of Boca and Goian's wages when they were on loan as that might have an impact on the figures Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Very happy to read this.Have been worried by the volume of signings and still think the pay-offs will have eaten into the share money, but it looks like we are getting some stability and a base to move on from.Must say that im liking Mather more and more.

LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Wait, you mean we're not losing £1Million a month like the papers are reporting? Could never have guessed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The official site is really putting some useful stuff out now. What a difference in the last few months. We've all gone on about finances, a playing style from youth to first team and restructuring while we have the chance. The club is answering all these questions now and making it clear these issues are in hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 There will be a few on here having kittens at that news, looks like the 'bitches of the bheast' arent quite leading us into the abyss as we were told. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delamonty 992 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Surprised at this -- but welcome it of course. Boca and Dorin were probably on a hefty wage. I imagine we still need to cut.Focus is in the right place it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 No no no this can't be right....I read on rangersmedia it stated as a FACT.....by more than one poster.... we were living ABOVE our means and were heading for financial suicide....who to believe....the rangersmedia accountants or our CEO aka "the cretin" (as named on here????Although I understand the need to get more out before we sign up any more I'm still hopeful we can get something sorted with big moshini as the longer it goes with him playing well the more the likelihood is someone else will offer him something! It's very important that we continue to ask pertinent questions of the club and hope that we strive to build a sustainable and profitable business model however jumping to conclusions and hysterically overreacting to things whilst insulting our employees for no reason is just pointless and pathetic!

FlippinEck 3,707 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's a shame we had to pay Bocca and Goian off.Surprised Boca took anything when he had a club lined up the minute he left. Then again, that may have allowed him to accept a lower wage in the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good to hear but I would want to see the full list of accounts being published to find out exactly what is happening. Hopefully that shouldn't be too long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Surprised Boca took anything when he had a club lined up the minute he left. Then again, that may have allowed him to accept a lower wage in the US.We still do not know the details of their deals, I am sure Mathers would not have went ahead, unless it benefitted the club, cause he's a canny lad.

Resting in my account 231 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Lol at some of the comments above, do the maths folks. Nowhere has he said we are paying less than we generate, our wage bill was too high last season. We are paying an incompetent management team EPL salaries and buying players we don't need to coach. Where is the restructuring he mentions? Walter Smith and McCoist were a big part of the problem before, all of a sudden they are in charge and they say its all ok and we take that as gospel? I will await the accounts being published before I start touching myself.Bitches of the Bheast was in relation to them doing secret deals with the Cabal in comparison to backing up the SFL Clubs which Green was going to do.Mather is merely doing what he is told by Walter and Ally, god help us.
