Not a lot as far as I can see, we are losing vast amounts of Money each money and savings have to be made so hard decisions have to be made he gets paid to make them so do it.

Much harder to do it when you're face to face with the very people you cannot abide.I know because i sat directly across a table from that googly eyed bastard Whyte. And by day 120 i fully expect to see a lot of changes made to the way Rangers is run on and off the field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoniram 1,919 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Maybe a telephone call to South Africa?The fact that hasn't happened (that we know about) tells me a lot.Does King have the kind of money needed to invest?Will he be allowed to invest with the proviso he wants of gaining control?Do we need his investment?Dave King seems to be this knight in shining armour who talks a lot these days and ..eh that's all.He could easily pick up the phone to Rangers could he not?

Ok he asked for 120 days and that's what he is entitled to so he will get that, but I would have thought by now some cost cutting decisions would have been made and let's be honest here if any had been made they would have been plastered all over the papers.

bluedart1952 1,356 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Make some hard decisions if we are going to be in the shit shortly, like maybe removing Mr Irvine and saving some money. I don't think you will have to worry, this guy is going to be making some hard decisions about the running of this club once his 120 day study of finances is finished. Some of the decisions he makes some fans will be happy some wont be, but if it puts the club on an even keel so be it, and even if I don't agree with some of it i.e. like selling L Wallace, but if it has to be done so be it I will still be travelling up to Ibrox as much as possible. watp. :21: :21: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok he asked for 120 days and that's what he is entitled to so he will get that, but I would have thought by now some cost cutting decisions would have been made and let's be honest here if any had been made they would have been plastered all over the papers.It all depends on what areas and if he can cut the costs.For example...rates, water, utility bills etc....what if they are down as low as we can get them.Staff costs...all employees not just the players. You can't just implement cuts without giving due notice. And even then the pay offs required may negate the proposed savings.The other question they may look at is Auchenhowie affordable. Do we need to downscale it or sell it off?The easiest and quickest way to save money at a football club is always going to be centred round the players.I personally don't think the cuts required are on the drastic side. They are required but inward investment will help but only when investors see that the business has been scrutinised from top to bottom and is running as efficiently as is possible for the league we play in.And no it wasn't easy wanting to say what was really on your mind but having to bite your tongue to keep the channels of communication open.

Wake up if the IPO money was not there how the hell do you think we would be still going and what happens when it runs out, cuts have to be made and they have to be made shortly, you might not believe it but a% of fans are seriously thinking of without holding season ticket money because of the way the club is has been run.
