SaulGoodman 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 In the letter he mentions his father. Why does he feel the need, has he not told us before that his dad was a policeman who didn't like the football, resented it, and grudged taking him to a game. I can't remember what audience he was talking to that time, but, which was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoorie 1,088 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Great statement that says fans should fund the club, not spivs with in one door-out the other.Rangers are the biggest supported club in Scotland and in the top ten in Britain. We don't need another DM. We don't need DK or the three bears to fund this club! Rangers are the worlds most successful club because of the fans.Get the season tickets back on a waiting list!Some usual suspects missing from this thread!???

jamess 3,453 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have no problem whatsoever with the concept of all Rangers supporters funding the club. The exact amount King eventually puts in is irrelevant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 14,653 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He also says - "What I can say, however, is that if I, and other investors have to put in an extra £5m for this season thats what well do. If it requires more, for instance £10m, so be it"@ Mr RFCHe and other investors are clearly willing to shore up any shortfall. The funds are not limitless though and a million(s) pound(s) spent offsetting poor.season ticket sales is money we could be spending on players.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Not that keen on it to be honest. I don't really know why, maybe because it sounds like a begging letter, rather than a statement of intent.To be fair, I am no fan of DK, and everything he does is seen from me through a "glib and shameless liar" prism.

WillWard 6 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 How exactly does buying a season ticket equate to a once-in-a-generation opportunity? That letter is a bit of a riddy tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,332 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was never in favour of King taking control of Rangers and I certainly didn't agree with his/SoS tactics of coercing our fans to boycott everything that stood in his way of getting control, but he and his other backers are in the hot seat and we need to back them to the hilt in the efforts to get our club back to being THE club in Scottish football.Yes he is saying all the right things that SHOULD be done and talk is cheap, but if we don't back his ideas then we will go nowhere fast (unless you know of any super rich Yank or Arab willing to plough millions into our coffers) so I think that letter points out the reality of the situation and that once again we as supporters have a massive role to play in making sure there are no more fuck-ups both on and off the park.

Wawrinka 88 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Fantastic letter.

Land Rover 789 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 If we get a good manager signed up followed by some more positive action from the board we'll start to think about buzzing .At the moment we aren't in a good place and we've heard this type of stuff for a while now .We need to see actions and promises being honored .If DK can at least make a start he'll have tremendous support .

BlueBeard 241 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I will be renewing as usual, as for the letter,I was very disappointed with it,no detail whatsoever,basically it was saying "buy your season ticket now,I will tell you my plan later".

onefootwillie 1,519 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I will be renewing just hope the new management team is in place soon. I feel the new board are trying to do their best but the communications has been slow and poor and they will need to up their game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueboyG 5,310 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I will be renewing, i see it this way, why would king just throw in a random figure of say £10m when he can have a look at the season ticket sales,get us on the share market,have a share issue,then he can decide whats actually needed to run rangers as a sustainable bussiness, then he will come up with goods amongst others,too many people want this board to sort out the wrongs of the past three years in three months, it cant be done !

insider 123 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The letter is good in some parts but when I take a completely rational view of it I am a little concerned...I think Dave King could have said something like _- were all in this together and that whatever money raised through season ticket sales he will match....I'd have liked a manager in by now as well.....Sorry but I'm just not convinced yet....

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 King has to get his money out first and announce a new manager the fans want!Then fans will dig deep if they think the new manager is the right one and buy ST'sNo one can afford £400 to go watch shite on the field againTime for change, Rangers fans have dug deep for the last 3/4 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
