Nikica Jelavic 41 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Never going to happen. King will not invest never mind £30m. I wonder what his angle is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calio 688 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Spend all this money and still fail to qualify, then what?Look for further investment, do you want to play second fiddle to them for years to come?I don`t. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,254 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It's absolutely staggering to me that after everything that has happened over the past three/fours years there still seems to be be people who think throwing money at a problem is the best way to resolve it.It seems to be a case that some of our fans have learned nothing.

RockwellGers 14,766 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Is a large cash injection definitely a bad thing? And is it something we don't need? Also, are heavy investment and long term stability mutually exclusive approaches? Genuine questions folks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,608 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It's absolutely staggering to me that after everything that has happened over the past three/fours years there still seems to be be people who think throwing money at a problem is the best way to resolve it.It seems to be a case that some of our fans have learned nothing.It would be wrong to think because it didn't work before it can't work again. Learning can also mean realising what you did wrong the last time and then do the same thing but with the necessary changes to prevent the same outcome. Specifically, the catapult of a large investment, taking us back to being competitive, underpinned by a business plan that ensures living within our means thereafter.Rangers fans are not the most patient of creatures. I don't think 3, 4, 5 seasons of obscurity would be healthy. It might turn into a downward spiral. For me, that is not worth risking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersfc77 170 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 While i agree we dont NEED 5m to win the championship, I think it could be a good thing. Get a couple of bigger signings in right away, give them a full season to bed in to the team.That is exactly the point King already stated we need to hit the top league running and not with a full new team Great post Gogzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchibaldLeitch 380 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 We do not need £5m to win the championship but we need at least 5 players of a much better quality to win the top division as we stand imo.Other than bell, wallace, templeton, law, mcleod, clark and possibly gallagher, we need new players of a decent quality and a few of our youngsters to step up such as aird, stoney etc.A mix of experience and youth would be ideal but it will cost money.I believe ally deserves another go at the top flight but maybe with a fresh coaching team and definitly a scouting department.

BlueAvenger 10,431 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 We need major investment to get back to the top of Scottish football and compete in Europe.Hopefully Dave King is willing to invest and return in some capacity.But let's hear the Board's plans for investment, perhaps there could even be a compromise and work together to take theclub back to where we belong.We deserve it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy millar 107 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The point King is making is valid.We cannot allow septic a free run at Champions League money for much longer or they really will disappear over the horizon.Investment is needed in the next transfer window for at least 3 quality signings,CB,RB,CM.and of course the return of Boyd.(was against Boyd`s return,till I heard him at the weekend affirming his love of the club)We will then win next year`s league title and re assess our needs prior to a top flight return.But is Ally to be trusted with those decisions?

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 We as a club need major investment.Don't confuse what Dave King is saying about £50million investment as a transfer kitty, it's not.What we often discuss about Scouting networks etc, cost large amounts of money to set up and obtain.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Because there is still a large percentage of people who don't use the internet and take what they read in Newspapers at face value.Before I started coming on here I had no idea about the negative reputation of certain journalists and/newspapers. It was naive, but I tended to take what was printed at face value.Kinda the same for me although i distrusted tabloids i didn't see how biased against us some were.
