Popular Post Loyal72 13,024 Posted July 13 Popular Post Share Posted July 13 I had originally posted this in the transfer rumours thread, But I think it deserves to stand alone. This is the reality of our situation, one even our manager didn't expect. John Bennett and the Rangers board are fucking charlatans, get out.

Popular Post Bears r us 31,159 Posted July 13 Popular Post Share Posted July 13 Looks like Phil has been lied to when he took the job, if true and I have no reason not to believe him, then it is another fuck up by Bennett and Co.

And if he knew a few months ago why all the chat at the end of the season about bringing loads of players in? It seems as though, he initially had the thought as most of us - horses for courses until the end of the season and then he'd have cash there to rectify what we need. Instead, we've very little funds, are having to spend heavily on this stadium project now paying a lease for another stadium and so on, mess after mess. So he's been told that we now have to sell players to fund the much needed rebuild, and we've basically no sellable assets 😂 Awk, it's a shitshow.

Popular Post STEPPS BOY 76,569 Posted July 13 Popular Post Share Posted July 13 This probably wont go down well, but why are we doing stadium infrastructure work when money is tight? That’s the sort of work you do after a big sale and a year or two CL money come in.

rossco87 753 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Absolute disgrace from those entrusted to run our club. It is bad enough that we are treated with contempt and basically lied to or ignored, but to hire a manager basically under false pretences is the final straw for me with the current board structure. Biggest question has to be how do we protest the board without removing much needed funds from the club and also making Clement’s job even harder?!?

That’s the sort of work you do after a big sale and a year or two CL money come in. It’s the same as that glorified pub we built out the back of the Copland. We've needed a rebuild twice, and both summers - the club have decided to invest into off the field projects, in NEH and now stadium infrastructure. This board are doing everything but improving the football side of this club. I think it'll go down great, because it's the fucking truth. They've spunked our money on shit.

Yeah I get that they lied to him/things changed after getting him through the door. My point is he says he was told there were no funds a few months ago, but a few weeks ago was telling all of us we’ll see big changes in the summer and an improvement in the team.

That's the truth right there. They can build on infrastructure, that's fine but do it when there is extra income coming through and the club is more self sufficient, but we also blew a small fortune last season on bang average players on massive wages (for us) rather than trimming the squad down. That's us freed up the best part of 100k a week in wages and we could still easily trim double that off the squad and not see a huge difference in quality on the pitch. That's gross negligence from the club. Drunk and disorderly. and JCDBigBear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think that's any reflection on him though - I think that's still board, Bennett etc chopping and changing, and the stadium mess taking even more funds away. Edit: as Negri says too, certain deals falling through. We're kinda fucked, and can see why he's a bit disappointed. Bears r us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmond7 1,366 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Are we really any better off as a club, are the people in charge really any better, than when we had the likes of Charles Green around? I had kind of forgotten - probably on purpose, you have to block some shit out in life to survive - just how bad it was in those days, but I'm not really convinced we have moved forwards. A few of us on here remember when in the 80's we had the take over by Murray and the lead up to that and how shit we were, bit a lot of that was caused by the stadium re-build during that period. It was, to an extent, understandable, and, I can't speak for anyone else, but every season, no matter how bad we are, always believed we would be in there fighting. I don't know if I can see that anymore, it seems to me that current custodians of the club are happy to be 2nd rate. I hope to fuck im wrong but right now, you look at where we are and nothing has changed since last season. I dont even know what to think anymore and I cant even describe how it makes me feel, but I know mostly everyone here feels the same. Its tragic.
