the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 That's simply bullshit, in 2010 Everton alone had gate receipts of £19.2m and commercial income of £9.7m. but they are charging epl prices. hes probably just using fan numbers or something. i always feel we would be around arsenals level in the epl personally. size wise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I was at the meeting tonight as well, and everything El Diablo has said in his posts is pretty much spot on. All I can really think of to add at the moment is: The letter to the Prime Minister is regarding cross border participation by clubs in other leagues. Traynor will be let off the lead pretty soon. His actual words on this were, "There are a lot of people hiding in toilets at the moment!" He said that Traynor 'knows everyone' and that consequently, he probably has something on all of them. The Arsenal thing is a done deal. All signed and sealed. He spoke very impressively. There was a break before questions from the floor, and at that point everyone I spoke to were very happy with what he had said. He then took questions, and he answered every one of them well. The mood at the end was very positive. There was no feeling that we had been listening to bullshit. Quite the opposite in fact. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 some more from FF 11. The winding up order was mentioned as well.Green stated that the mob agreed on a figure, but when it all went better than expected they asked for more money, he told them to ram it. He has said that there is nothing written down, he had a gentlemens agreement and he will not be blackmailed. If they want to try a winding up order then they can come ahead 12. He also mentioned that the rules kind of feck us up a bit. Something along the SFL rules meaning you cant have 7 players over the age of 22?? And that the signing ban fecks us up a bit, Andy Little was out of contract last year and we cant sign him up again, if that makes sense? Even if we had a load of cash, we would be struggling to spend it basically. 13. Green stated that the performances have been shit, he knows it and McCoist knows it. He said that McCoist played with Rangers for 20 years, Green does not need to tell him the standard that is expected. He said remember what Ally has went through. 1. No sooner had he taken over but the club ended up in turmoil 2. This was compounded by signing ban and age laws of League 3. Ally went without wages to remain as manager 4. His players had to accept wage cuts of 50% 5. His top players walked out 6. The chairman, financial director etc etc all fecked off 7. We are still likely to win league After all that, the very least McCoist deserves is loyalty 14. He also done the figures and it worked out like this.........Take away TV money and Rangers are bigger than Everton, Southampton and Aston Villa COMBINED!!!! 15. Green also stated that he was sitting at a table with Lazio, Juventus and Ac Milan last week. Celtic were in the same room but never gave so much as a nod. He has now offered Murray Park to Juventus to train for nowt!! 16. Regarding kits and sponsors, he said that he has had some difficulty in getting the right deal, mainly as we dont want to sign up for a 5 year deal for instance, at 4th division prices only to have cut ourselves short when we end up in the top league or another league in 1,2,3 years time. which to me makes perfect business sense, both in rangers view and the sponsors view 17. The club is running at a loss this year due to exceptional costs incurred and the fact that we have kept on some staff who we don’t really need, he made a joke about Jim Hannah saying ‘does a 4th division club really need a fans liason officer? Perhaps not now but in 1,2 years yes we will, so we have absorbed the costs for future benefit 18. Viewing figures from SKY/ESPN (?) for Rangers v Peterhead were 120,000. Viewing figures for Celtic v St Mirren were 60,000. He also added that we have around 38,500 season ticket holders, more than the past 3 years, and all the more impressive as 9,000 from last year did not renew, so we have over 9,000 new people My overall opinion? The majority of things he said all made sense and if nothing else, it is in Greens interest to have us as successful as we can be, particularly as a successful Rangers will make him more money, its a win win. Who knows what is round the corner, but at least we seem to be heading in the right direction. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
