NamibianBear 1,851 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 There is more detail in the accounts in general than we have ever seen before. So much for a lack of transparency. Just in from the beach and canny be bothered to read 24 pages of financial nonsense. In YOUR opinion, is everything looking on track for the near future?

Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks mate and that probably seems a more fair post than some who'd have us think everything is great.As I say securing more income is the biggest worry for me, I don't know if after a lot of the shite that's happened in the past 4 months we are an attractive investment for those outside the fans as it stands.Govanblue will be getting us all to dip in to our wallets soonDon't worry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Just finished reading it.While I can't claim to be a business or finance wizard, I personally came away with a sense of optimism. Costs are coming down, and will continue to next year. Profits will rise as the team does. There seems to be a clear plan for moving forward and lots of ideas for future investment and growth in the company.Feeling good. Feeling content. Wonder how long that will last on here?

Zappa 358 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why were directors paying themselves massive bonuses for last season when it seems clear that the club couldn't afford them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Please don't quote Accountancy Age. It's like quoting the Sun on matters of high finance.I reiterate, if the board's projections indicated that we would run out of money in 13 months, that does have an impact for the audit report. You were fixated on 12 months. There is no 12 month rule. You now agree.Right,We could go on like this forever! Neither of us is backing down, so the only way we will know is in a couple of years time!I fully hope you prove me to be an idiot, but im bookmarking this so that I can get a cheap shot in if im right!

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Can you break that down?14million loss not what the beasts over at the BBC Scotland say. For a "transparent and unbiased cooperation" like the BBC they seem to tell alot of lies about one specific Football club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 They have given us more information than what previous Rangers boards have given us. Apart from their was nothing mentioned about why directors are given themselves huge bonuses for us winning the 3rd division title? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Directors bonuses for winning the third division title which everyone in world football knew we were going to win before a ball was even kicked? It's about the only thing i can complain about though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Right, my tuppence worth...I'm far from an expert and probably don't understand most of it. However some things jump out at me:£11 Million in the bank including £4.5 Million in this seasons season ticket cash. That leaves something like £6.5 Million (?) of season ticket cash added to that after the accounts date. So a total of £17.5 Million effectively in the bank. It also suggests that we essentially had £6.5 Million left over in the bank after last years operations.So, we had a loss of £10 Million not including one offs last season. Does anyone have any decent idea of how much that loss is likely to fall to over the next few season (ball park)? The way I see it, we can essentially afford £6.5 Million of losses in the next 2 seasons, before our return to the top division, before reserves (the £6.5 Million left over from last years accounts - which is presumably the IPO cash left overs) are dry and we start to need an overdraft.So are we likely to go into the top division with a debt or all square?Secondly, the totals paid to Green, Ahmad, Stockbridge and Ahmad are extremely disappointing. Ridiculous actually. That smacks of head in the trough type stuff. Incidentally, what is Mather on, and do we know what the new reduced salaries of McCoist and Stockbridge will be? For me, Stockbridge will have a lot of explaining to do on this at the AGM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 768 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 That's the whole point - this season we have Puma, Blackthorn, Sports Direct/retail, other sponsorship deals etc. There is likely growth across a number of income streams.sponsorship is to only grow by 70% next season that is still terrible, as I told you at the time the blackthorn deal was a slap in the face at only £700000 mark. Money from sports direct should already have started by June. Even with the expected growth mentioned they are way low and come nowhere near filling the gap of £14m. I have absolutely no confidence in cost cutting being done by this board as they have failed to do so so far with only costs cut after fans have found out information themselves and demanded cuts. At no time has this board shown by action that they can make the hard decisions and cut costs. We have to drastically improve revenue almost immediately far more than by 70% .we need to double our revenue without incurring any costs or we need to cut costs by at least 40%. This does not include wage rises as we get promotion or any transfer fees we would spend over the next season and a half never mind the one off costs of refurbishing ed house and the carpark.Our turnover is barely better than a team of hearts stature, that is not acceptable. Using these figures can you tell me how much each season ticket holder spent on average on merchandising over the season? And also what in house sponsorship is worth per fan each home game?

stfu 596 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 None of us are happy with the bonus payments to the directors for winning the 3rd division but now most can see that what has been going on from the non-investors is nothing more than scaremongering pish.I for one am quite happy with how these numbers look although I would prefer a bit more meat on the bone on our future revenue streams.We always knew that there were going to be one of costs in this years books that will not be repeated again such as the football debt repayments and the purchasing of Edmiston House and the Albion car park.And that is before we take into account our legal fees this year alone.We are in a much better position than we were a year ago and I also firmly believe that we are in a much better position than we would have been with PM's plan to borrow more from ticketus.Time for people to now accept PM for what he is...... a rabble rouser who's only interest was in getting a place back sucking from the tit as he did before.

And im the pessamistic one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
