What size of budget do you think the new Manager should get

[Smile 26,600]

What do you think Pedro should get for new signings in the Summer. He would have had certain assurances of money to spend to compete in the League next season.

[cumnockbear 2,446]

10m but more and likely be tree fiddy 

[K.A.I 36,183]

We need 15-20 million spent wisely.

[plumbGER 24,518]

50 million front-loaded investment war chest.

[Jonok 1,245]

As much as the board think we can afford without putting us in financial danger.

[simplythebest 11,453]

As high as possible, we badly need it

[Bertent 2,081]

what he should get or what hell end up with?

[Gaffbear 4,096]

To overtake the terrorists we need 20m+

[jintybear 8,536]

As much as it takes to get us back where we belong at the top of the table

[Sid2103 285]

Well, we need a full new squad basically, we have a team of players that would normally only make the bench, I wouldn't say we had many that should be part of a Rangers starting 11.

And I've got no idea who he is going to even think about brining in. What we need is a full new defence and holding mid, badly. The rest I think might be salvageable under New management and a new formation, and hopefully he can clear some of the dead wood that we don't need, or that clearly aren't good enough.

So if king supposedly gave £18m to Warburton I'd give £20m to Pedro, if we have it, and hopefully he can add to that by selling some players, obviously not expecting miracles

What he'll get is probably a little over £10m if even that much.

[quabba 440]

as much as possible. don't want to be playing catch up for too long

[ricksen_da_best 2,034]

This manager needed to be the right choice. If the board believe this is their man then they need to back him with every penny we can afford from the start

[trueblueal 2,117]

I've said for 2 seasons we need 8-10 million spent on 4-5 first team ready players in their prime. Supplement that with frees, prospects, existing players who can be coached. 

Without an initial investment in the spine of this team we will struggle. 

[williamcarvel9 87]

This thread is pointless. What budget the manager should get and what budget the manager will get are going to be polar opposite.

However from what the board have said in regards to Warburton was that players he identified they went and got. Warburton may have identified Garner as a player he wanted and the board then negotiated the offer of 1.75M (or whatever it was we paid), instead of the board going we have 1.75M to spend on a player, go and find him.

I'm sure if they have persuaded this guy to come they will have talked about transfer budgets and player recruitment and it must satisfy Caixinha to come and work with whatever has been specified

[Ivybank 4,573]

500,000 then we can buy another moh?

[Gaz52 11,837]

Seriously he's going to get pretty much next to nothing given this boards track record.

He didn't give Warburton £18m and it's never been claimed that he did.

We need to build a solid base with an I initial investment like Walter did in his second spell and like MON did at Celtic in his first season. After that you try and tweak and supplement an already strong side. That's the theory now show us the money 

[gj923 1,457]

Ask us when he has signed and been with us for a few months. We really need to see what he is like with the current players and what style he plays.

[Ivybank 4,573]

Hopefully he won't have a Scottish assistant,like Davie weir who recommended shite like Danny Wilson to warburton

[NeoGeo7 10,442]

Voted for 10m, it's the most logical. 5m wouldn't make a dent and anything over 10m is a risk.

10m on fees would allow 5 solid players in or 3 solid and one very good i.e. 2m for solid and 4 for very good.

obviously it won't be this simple, it may just be on a case by case basis but he needs to have the money to get a solid core for the team.

[To Be A Ranger 4,032]

The manager has until the end of the season to see which players he can work with and those he wants out the door.  He then has to identify who he wants in and the board have to support him. We can't go overboard into debt but we need new players.

I honestly think come the Summer they will have to back him and will give him a reasonable transfer budget, If they do not they will be chased from Ibrox even by the punters that supported them.

[WilliamMunny 3,218]

I can't see a lot being spent straight away, maybe 3/4m.   

The manager needs to be judged that he can spend wisely and identify good players and within budget.

We need to learn....  Warburton showed eventually he was incapable of this and bought almost a full squad of dross and mediocre

[one55 1,510]

should be given millions but won't get enough to buy a freddo.

He might even rejuvenate the players, and he himself players in the squad that he likes and might get the current team performing.

It's all conjecture right now
