kanjo 26,294 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I would be very surprised if it was £3m. We have no outstanding debts that require repayment and our only high-end cost at the moment are the paying staff wages. I would think if we can sell 4/5 players on top of the out of contract duds we'd be at about double that, plus we have the possibility of at least three home games in European qualifiers. It'd be a slap in the face if it was £3m though. Hopefully we can get some form of understanding on the budget soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Celtic spent 8 million last summer, 12 the summer before that and 23 the summer before that. I think we need a good 2 summers with 8mill invested to challenge celtic. Depressing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager a guess that he's spent that or close to it, the wages these clowns are on the now and the clowns we've had through the divisions will have cost us a pretty penny I agree with all the posts saying we realistically need 10-15 million to compete next season...but it's simply not coming, if we get closer next season and build a decent base to go forward then think thats the best we can hope for That's not going to sell season tickets but it's where we are at the moment king has only been here for 2 years, if you think he has personally spunked 15mill in these 2 years then your maths is way out my friend Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like the transfer budget to be around 7 million. I would be surprised if it was 3 million for wages and transfers because of what we have witnessed. The board need to pull their finger out their arse or season tickets will not be sold. How can you sell something after just receiving our worst result against them at Ibrox in over 110 years. Not many will be rushing to renew after that, will they? Even celtic, after the season they are having, announced the ticket price increase with their managers contract extension. Our board need to do something, and very fucking quickly. Aye 7 million would be a small start and they will have to do something big otherwise ST renewals will bomb especially if the budget is minimal and we still have the majority of the shitebags we have now.

But that number will have only went up, think its completely viable that King has spent 15 million in 2 years Maybe 3 million of that on signings & the rest on wages.

We Will Follow Rangers 12,892 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 As grim as it is I dont know how people realistically thought it would be any more. with no share/rights issue on the horizons the only vehicle left to input capital into the club is loans and now that we're operating on a more or less break even basis i dont see a rush to loan more King lied, lots, but ultimately this board is still better than the last, but thats relative, King isnt fit to be chairman of Rangers, others on the board offer nothing. If next season brings 5 defeats from the tarriers and a third finish I fear for the club as folk will vote with their feet. If only we had an independent fans group who could organise a campaign for more action and clarity on behalf of and for the benefit of only the fans and the club, whilst not advocating action that will ultimately put the club in an even worse place.

Prso's headband 34,986 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 A fucking embarrassing mess. Fucking hate that slanty eyed wanker. Not a fucking brass penny that cunt has. I've personally spent £1200 this season JUST ON FUCKING TICKETS if you take them all as an average of £25 and a £400 ST. I'm a student, I find a way to follow Rangers and put any spare to my next years ST. I find that fucking remarkable that they believe £3 mill is enough. My old man has a few sources and he has said for weeks that Parkco are determined to get rid of King and invest "tens of millions" into us but they won't do it when he's there. My reply everytime he says it is why not buy his shares and get rid? He doesn't know. It's heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking. The first OF in 5 years at Ibrox and yer Rangers man Gilligan is playing a round of golf. Yer chairman has been over twice in a full season to talk pish and go. We have roughly £500 million sitting on that board, if Kings finances are to be believed, yet here we are having had not even 10% put into us. You can guarantee 99% of the fans at Ibrox today if they had £500 million today £100 million would be on the Ibrox doorstep tomorrow. They're not Rangers fans, their businessmen first and then they think of Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gj923 1,457 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Aye I reckon 2-3 million tops and if you actually think about this for a minute - They had to pony up some cash to shore up cashflow but they have increased the cost of season books so if the same amount are sold there should be no need for that - Barton and Voldermort will not be on the wage bill like they where for part/all of the season which must free up 1-2 million - We will have extra games from Europa league this year so basically We are funding the running of the club and the transfer budget next year With the takeover panel court case still outstanding there is no chance in hell that criminal joker will put his hand in his pocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
