On the flip side im looking forward to seeing what 30-50 million pounds spent on our training ground and stadium looks like tho If there's a grain of truth in the club spending money to bring our training ground and stadium up to a decent standard after years of neglect then the board should be chased? That's fucking mental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just now, K.A.I said: Wow it's obvious I meant at the expense of the team it's about priorities ffs So what's the priority? Making sure we finish 15 points ahead of Aberdeen this season instead of 6 or making sure we have a training ground and stadium that's fit for purpose?

Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Sadly , I think we can expect more of this . The usual suspects will be reeling off the cliches about " January's a difficult market " ," No team wants to sell their top players" etc, etc . I don't imagine we will spend any significant amount , certainly not anywhere near the sum required to improve the starting eleven . A couple of loan/free agents to supplement the squad will be our limit , unless we raise any cash through outgoings , even then we need money to keep paying the bills so that will be the priority . Don't see DK or the rest of the board sanctioning anything else . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a good team for next season do you think he'll have found money in the 6 months been the 2 windows? I dont spending silly money on this, to me looks like it will impact on our summer budget you of course and as always will know best tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Warburton was sufficiently backed by the board during the summer, but we were never going to compete with Celtic. We are light years away from spending fortunes on players. The board have stabilised the club; for that I thank them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we'll get good value in the usually overpriced Jan market to give us a good side? Good to see you admit I know what's best.

I'm curious, not being offensive, but how have they stabilized the club ? we still don't have a retail income, we still are living on loans from season to season (albeit soft ones), we have nobody involved who has the cash, or the ability (DK may have cash but its stuck in SA under the watchful eye of SARS), to invest the large amounts needed (even if it would be allowed under the flair play rules for Europe) and the stadium may need serious money spent on it in the future. We have a manager that started really well and may come good again and some players that could be worth a decent sum (Fod, McKay, Windass (maybe)) so the board have that going for them but we have reached a plateau under DK and this board and they cannt take us any further.

HeHaw 513 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 In all fairness there has quite a bit done to tart Ibrox up, my mates wee brother who works at Ibrox throughout the week also said that for the first time in maybe 3-4 years there has been general maintenance and other works done by contractors within the stadium. Wyhte, Green etc. let the parts of the stadium fall in to a mess, can only imagine how neglected the bits we don't see have been left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I love the way he always sticks up for the club, but I'm not sure he's doing us any favours if he's just making excuses for DCK etc not making funds available. I'm sure if there had been substantial investment in the stadium we'd have heard about it. The statement said "spent" as in we already have. So, not that I have noticed. Getting spun a fanny here I think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit in BF4 but was moved to the main stand above the east enclosure for the OF game and the nick of the side of the Copland stand is a total disgrace. I'd say the roof of the Copland is in a worse condition than the roof of the Broomloan. 18 months we've had these imposters yet the big white structure at the top of the main stand is yet to see a powerwash. Fucking pathetic bunch of clowns. What was actually the problem with allowing those hundreds of tradesmen who said they would help restore Ibrox for free? All the board had to do was cover like half the cost of materials? What happened then? Fuck all. A couple of paper banners on the broomloan are already fucked. This board is a laughing stock and were allowing it to happen because their pure Rangers men but. Rangers men don't miss an old firm game to play golf, Mr Gilligan Couldn't agree more, the white structure on the main stand is in desperate need of a clean, a lot of the side of the stands and roofs need a lick of paint. Surely with a few bodies on it it wouldn't take all that long to do. It's a stunning stadium but right now it's seen better days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no line of credit as no bank would touch us with a shitty stick being that high risk. You didn't do business school obviously.

markem 7,285 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Radio Clyde is run by cunts, best ignored.

The fact it was brought up last night is the worry. If DCK isn't making money available he should just say so.

They know full well we are going nowhere under him and his useless fuckin boardroom halfwits and will do all they can to keep him in place. Todays Daily Mail has a bullshit story about how difficult it is for poor Mr King to keep us up with the taigs because Ashley has hamstrung our earning capabilities FFS. Whatever anyones opinion on King is it's pretty undeniable that Cashley is harming Rangers but he gets about 1% of the hate on here that King gets. In the first six months of 2014 Rangers a club with over a million fans in the UK made the grand sum of £2000 from its retail deals with Cashley. Cashley was also able to buy the naming rights to Ibrox and the clubs stadium shop for £2? Seriously why does King get way more hate than Cashley?
