A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 wage bill is what £7m atm? You want to change that to £21m or £28m??? Never gonna happen unless something radical happens with TV moneyI can see our wages being about £16m once we have access to CL money again but that's light years awayThat would still be lower than what it was before. That is roughly what Celtic carry, maybe a bit less and if we have any ambition to compete with them, and we must, then we will have to find the money from somewhere, we managed it to an extent before and if Celtic can do it, then why can't we? We know what Rangers can generate as an SPFL club with and without European football, we know there is potential there for anything between £40m and £70m annual turnover, it's the boards job to make that happen. They need to get fans onside and putting money back into the club in every way we can. The board have a huge job earning the trust of the wider Rangers support. A show of investment, a scouting team in place, an appointment of a management team and CEO worthy of our club and the commencement of the squad rebuild would be a brilliant start but so far we have seen none of that. Nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact, as the club is running at a loss, i expect the board will attempt to LOWER the wage budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm not a fan of topics like this. People pluck names from thin air, usually based on Football Manager or an article in Match magazine.I don't think we would interest Scott Allan. We had the opportunity to sign him last summer, but didn't, and he's seen first hand the state that we're in this season. He's short listed for POTY and if Hibs don't go up, he'll have much better options than us.Season tickets should be taken off those who suggested Gavin Reilly of QOTS. I guarantee those people had never heard of him until late March/early April when he caused McCulloch and Mohsni a bit of difficulty at Palmerston. We've had our fingers burnt with Nicky Clark; let's not be stupid.Of all the players out of contract, I'd release every single one of them. Miller could perhaps offer something in a coaching capacity.We need a major, major rebuild. That's why I don't want a McCall, someone familiar with the club. We need a fresh, new approach which will involve turning the club upside down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm sure fans will come flocking back to Ibrox if the board cut the wage bill. King has already said massive initial investment in the team is needed. The wage bill must be at least tripled, no ifs buts, maybes or cuts. It has to increase by some considerable amount. Cut an already tiny wage bill and Ibrox will be empty next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_r_sole 366 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 aye, lets spend money we don't have, rack up debts and be pissed on by the banks again - great ideaI'm sure the fans would return if we could play some vaguely exciting football with players playing for the jersey and not just their pay packets - the only big money signings we need are off the park to change this culture in the club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Wull 203 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We should be looking at League 1 and 2 darn sarf. There are some good young players there who aren't on massive wages and would fancy the chance to make a name for themselves up here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut an already tiny wage bill and Ibrox will be empty next year. Love the fact that some want the wage bill trebled.Are these guys going to pay treble the price for their season tickets I wonder or where exactly do they think 10s of millions are going to come from.I don't think any director at Rangers is in a position to fritter away millions of their own pounds to win competitions which pay 2 bob for winning them.Lets not get carried away and start even talking about going down the same route which led us into this mess in the first place.Like the rest of Scottish football Rangers are going to have to manage within the budgets they can afford.

Even fringe players at clubs like Spurs are on in excess of 30 grand a week.No chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
