bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'll never be happy with DK I wish he would leave the club tbh, imo he only got MW because of the DW connection. MW has saved them a lot of stick and had it not been for him then we would be talking about getting rid of DK and his board. He was hanging about when DM was here and make no mistake he wants the money he supposedly put in the first time around. He's a liar and nothing else. We might spend 1.8 million in a player spread over 2 years who is 29 years old big fucking deal it's the least he could do after all his Shite to get us to 43000 STs. So no for me. What about the way the board handled the hampden fiasco? Folk banned b4 they were guilty and these are ppl who have followed Rangers through thick and thin and all over Europe, still a no from me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding midfield- stumped up the wages for Barton and Rossiter. Striker- looks like we're putting good money on the table for a player the gaffer wants. Center half - Clint Hill and Senderos isnt good enough, I'm sorry. If Senderos proves to be what we need and we sort it out back there my praise will go to him and Mark Warburton - because even though the Garner deal proves there is some money there, Senderos being our first choice for a problem position shows that there isnt as much as King promised. If we win this league with those 2 as free transfers being the only additions to our defence it'll be an achievement alongside Walter winning 3 in a row when we went 2 years without paying a fee. We spent close to 6m in the 3IAR season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That as may be as far as the merchandise deal goes but again it is what it is and we have to deal with it.I totally agree with you regarding producing our own players etc but this is going to take time.It is going to take time and patience to get back to the top but we will get back there.as a great man once said "Never fear,inevitably we shall have our years of failure,and when they arrive we must reveal tolerance and sanity" some would do well to remember those words.Only my opinion of course.

Â That's a long-standing issue that's been the same for ever...not just for us either. Â Ideally, there are two options to improve that situation, either fight our way out of the SPFL media deal and go on our own or leave the league behind. Â I know what my preference is but either will be difficult to achieve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Scottish Football is finished money wise, all the Sky money goes into English football. Even when we get back to the top, we will never be able to compete money wise, and our only hope will be to reach group stages of Champions league. Our days of buying top class players are over, unless someone with lots of money buy our club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British League or us joining England I think is the only way we will ever see the past glory days  Even a billionaire wouldn't do it because that is just wasting money, at least in England they can pay stupid money back just by a TV deal The English league is great but it just fucks everyone else up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
