folkestoneger 8,085 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What £1.5m?He gave the club 1.5M last month. Call it a loan or a loan to be swapped for equity he still put it inHe said he is not looking for a return on his money but is acting out of his love for our club so we either believe him or not.I do.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,752 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Don't care what anyone says, but I think he's the right man for the job. Only negative is his time scale for manager where he mentioned the 'individual' which makes me think it won't be Warburton & Weir, hope I'm wrong!Reading too much into that.It's not like Warburton & Weir would be coming in as co-managers.Warburton would be the manager, Weir just happens to be a member of his back room staff.

gmcf 34,093 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If I'm honest , I didn't see the point in having a press conference. I can't think of being told anything that we didn't already know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm trying to remain optimistic, but if King and Murray were half as pro-active as Ann Budge was at Hearts last summer, I'd be satisfied.I can't help but feel disappointed at the way McCulloch, in particular, has departed out the side door with no notice.The wee bluenose from Wishaw who stuck weights in his shorts to appear overweight and uncommitted at Wigan in order to achieve his dream and force a move to the Queen's eleven deserved more than, eight days after his contract expired, a "yes, they've left" from Dave King.I know McCulloch was fortunate to extend his Ibrox career, he will never go down as a Rangers legend and I can accept that his performances, in particular over the past two seasons, haven't been good enough. However, let's not forget his goal header in Lyon, his equaliser at Parkhead and more than anything, the fact that he displayed unmatched loyalty for this club.

AlCapone 7,678 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 He did not say he would not invest millions. He said a substantial investment is required and they will put money in but the figure depends on the amount raised from ST sales.He said a substantial investment in players was needed in the next couple of years, plus the scouting system and youth development. You don't think ST money will cover all that do you?I am not justifying anything he says but if I am not prepared to give him £350 I am certainly not going to demand he puts in millions.I will put my money up then will have the right to moan if he doesn'tHe said last year he would invest a substantial amount, where is it?

jcb 1,167 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 You already knew about the 5 candidates, no DofF and the confirmation that all out of contracts players were gone?The 5 candidates - No. So there was something after allNo DOF - With a new management team coming in there was no real need for the role at present and i didn't anticipate one.The Players - Was widely reported that they had left (no denial from club) and should have been confirmed on the Official website, Poor PR from us imo, once again no surprise tbh.

orange&blue92 1,284 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 No.He said if season tickets don't meet targets, they will cough up more. And if they exceed they will pay less. Fair enough to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
